Interface Physical Chemistry Laboratory

My group works in a variety of research field related to surface and interface chemistry. Using thin films technologies, surface of nanostructures is modified and these structures are used as catalysts or adsorbents for efficient removal of pollutant from the wastewater and air. Thin films of hydrophobic polymers can be deposited on nanostructures to fabricate superhydrophobic surfaces with additional functionalities such as optical transparence and electronic conductivity. My group is also active in the field of fundamental surface physical chemistry. Currently, oxidation of organic semiconductive polymer is of our interest, which can be studied using photoelectron spectroscopy and other analysis techniques. My group also works on size-selected clusters within international cooperation with the University of Konstanz in Germany.
