At the Centre for Materials Science, our researchers are leading innovations in design, synthesis, and engineering of materials with tailored functions for energy conversion and storage systems.
Our research spans from:
- organic/inorganic semiconductor materials for next generation solar cells;
- thermoelectric devices;
- plasmonic nanometallic materials for value-added chemical fuel synthesis;
- functional catalytic nanomaterials for hydrogen generation and chemical fuel production through CO2 reduction;
- bio-inspired materials;
- electrolyte and membrane materials for batteries and supercapacitors.
We address global challenges including the development of cost-effective renewable energy solutions and the mitigation of green-house emissions.
