SUPERCAPACITORS
From portable electronics and transportation systems to backup systems that complement renewable sources such as solar and wind, the demand for energy storage is expected to grow substantially well into the foreseeable future. Supercapacitors can act as a promising energy- storage alternative for rapidly growing electronic industry. In this project we design and develop nanostructured electrode materials for supercapacitor applications. We are specifically interested in the development of inorganic layered materials including oxides, chalcogenides, and carbides and organic/inorganic hybrid composites to improve supercapacitor performance.
ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSORS
Sensitive and selective enzyme based biosensors are used for the detection and quantification of various components present in the biological systems. Highly sensitive enzyme-based biosensors can be fabricated by the
incorporation of enzymes with a suitable electrochemical transducer. Since many of the attributes of materials used for energy storage devices such as large surface area, fast ion and electronic transport, some of the materials developed for energy storage actually work well as sensor materials. In this project, potentiostatic, conductivity-based, and capacitance-based sensing devices are being investigated.
