Research Summary
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials for energy storage and medical applications. Optically transparent, conducting films of carbon nanotubes on flexible substrates with performance that can rival commercial indium-tin-oxide conducting coatings. Chemical warfare agent sensing using carbon nanotube coatings on flexible substrates. Photocapacitors and batteries from dye-sensitized solar cells using a completely new design strategy involving plant extracts, and nanocarbons. Green chemistry approaches to polymer/metal catalysts for fuel cells. Synthesis and characterization of conducting polymer nanotubes/fibers and composites with noble metals. Controlled and targeted drug delivery across the blood-brain-barrier for treatment of Alzheimer's disease using nanoparticulate drug carriers.
