GeneralResearchInterests:MaterialsChemistryandCatalysis
Developmentofnewerstrategicmaterialsandtheireffectiveuseinhealthandenvironmentisinthe
most frontier areas of research. We have been pursuing research on design and development of
materials comprising a wide cross section of materials such as metal oxides, metal phosphates,
metal sulfate, modified metal oxides and phosphates, perovskites, anionic clays, zeolites, nano
metal/metal oxide/complex promoted mesoporous materials, gold catalyst, natural occurring
materials such as manganese nodules, manganese nodules leached residues, manganese oxides of
natural origin and cationic clays etc. Some of the current research interest and activities are as
follows:
EnergyMaterials
Fabrication of a photocatalytic reactor for water splitting and degradation of organic/
inorganicpollutantsusingmetaltantalatesandmetaloxynitrides.
Designofgoldpromotedmodified(rareearth,iron,sulfurnitrogen)titaniaforlow
temperatureCOoxidation.

EnvironmentalMaterials
Designing of a catalytic oxidation device for destruction of volatile organic compounds
(VOCs)overperovskitetypecompounds.
Development of lanthanum based perovskitetype oxides as catalysts and cathode
materials.
Photocatalytic decomposition of organic and inorganic pollutants, low temperature CO
oxidation,VOCsdecomposition
