Our lab develops advanced, sustainable materials for water purification, targeting contaminants like fluoride, arsenic, iron, and harmful bacteria (e.g., E. coli) through innovative adsorbents. We’ve also created an eco-friendly hypochlorite device that produces disinfectant from salt and water, offering a cost-effective, chemical resolution for homes, hospitals, and public spaces. Additionally, we study microplastic contamination in water and ecosystems, conducting lab and field analyses, including in the Bhopal region, to understand its impact and pathways and to inform sustainable waste management strategies.
Our team is focused on Electrochemical CO2 Reduction (ECO₂R) by developing innovative catalysts and optimizing reaction conditions for improved efficiency and selectivity. We focus on converting CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels with minimal energy input, using high-performance catalysts to reduce operational costs. By enhancing reaction kinetics, stability, and scalability, we aim to make ECO₂R commercially viable. Our goal is to enable global deployment, reducing CO2 emissions while creating economic value through marketable products, contributing to a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
