Biography

My research interest focused on the controlled synthesis of various nanostructures using adequate techniques and energy transfer designing in noble metal and functionalized graphene-modified nanocomposite photoanode for DSSC, Perovskite solar cells, and photocatalytic dye degradation applications.

To my credit, I have published 27 research articles including Solar Energy, Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, Ceramics International, Energy& Fuels, and Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering. Approximately 15 Q1 journals and 22 SCI-indexed journals have been published.
