Recent Advances in the Development of Low-Dimensional Materials for Electrochemical Applications: CECRI, Karaikudi

Low-dimensional nanomaterials with exciting novel properties and magical performance is a rapidly growing research field that is truly multidisciplinary. A great deal of research efforts has been dedicated in the past two decades towards the preparation and characterization of these low-dimensional nanomaterials. The literature blossomed on nanomaterials already indicated about the origin of novel properties with size. However, it is equally important to know how the properties of materials and their function vary with their dimension without any size effects? To unravel this interesting question, researchers at CSIRCECRI were working towards the development of low-dimensional materials such as 1-D and 2-D nanomaterials and study their interesting properties with special emphasis on electrochemical applications. Recent research findings from our institute suggest that the tunable properties of these low-dimensional materials are attractive for a variety of applications such as energy storage, sensing, catalysis and in optoelectronics.
