General information:
Nazar lab’s research focus encompasses
complex material synthesis, physical/structural characterization,
electrochemical testing and electrode design for various energy storage devices
. Promising new directions particularly lie in nanomaterials. They offer the
possibility of moving into the realm of high-capacity systems that operate on
the basis of intimate contact of the redox active components. The research employs
a range of physical chemistry techniques, including ex-situ and in-situ studies
involving X-ray/neutron diffraction, Raman microprobe and NMR spectroscopies,
combined with fundamental electrochemical studies used to examine the
underlying processes in solids.
Research Interests:
§ Design
of nanomaterials for energy storage, conversion and delivery applications
§ Materials solid state chemistry and nanotechnology
§ Li-ion and lithium batteries; fuel cells; supercapacitors; hydrogen storage materials
§ Fundamental solid state chemistry & structure-property relationships
§ Mesoporous
and nanoporous materials
