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
