Nanomaterials & Nanoelectronics Research Group

Our group at CSIR-NCL are interested in synthesis of various 1D nanowires / nanotubes & 2D (Nanosheets, thin films) nanomaterials for various applications such as Sensors (Chemical, Gas, Bimolecules, Humidity etc.) ,  Supercapacitors, Light Emitting diodes (LED), Photodetectors, Nano-Switch, Nonvolatile Memory devices, Li-ion Batteries, Catalyst for water splitting application, Field Emission, Transistor etc.

Materials used: 

1D Materials: Oxides & inorganic material based Nanowires, Nanorods, Carbon nanotubes etc.

2D Materials: Atomically thin Nanosheets of Graphene, Nano-composite Materials etc.

Facilities available:

1) Nikon Optical Microscope: To observe atomically thin Nanosheets of Graphene (Single-layer graphene Thickness 0.34 nm), MoS₂ (Single-layer MoS2 thickness 0.65 nm) etc.

 2) Hydrothermal Synthesis of 1D & 2D nanomaterials: Nanowires , Nanotubes, nanoflowers, nanosheets.

3) High Temperature furnace: (500-1000 degree).

4) Electrical Characterization: (Two probe & four probe measurements).

 5) Gas sensor set-up:

6) Chemical vapor depsoition set-up

7) Photolithography & E-beam lithography (In collaboration with IIT & IISc).

 8) Central Facility: X-RD, SEM, TEM, Raman, UV, PL, NMR,  etc.
