In the present thesis work, a single-step surfactant-free gram scale hydrothermal synthesis of mesoporous Ni(OH)2 nanoparticles and the Ni(OH)2-reduced graphene oxide (Ni(OH)2-r-GO) nanocomposite. Interesting morphological ...
Graphene and few layer graphene (thin-layer graphite) are important materials for a variety of potential applications. Large-scale growth of these materials is an area of growing interest and is proven to be challenging. ...
Quantum Hall states in 2D materials are characterised by robust edge states which reflect some bulk topological order through Bulk-Edge correspondence. It is of interest to realize complex states that emerge by coupling ...
Silicon is one of the promising anode materials for the next-generation Li-ion batteries with a theoretical maximum capacity of 3578 mAh g-1 for the Li15Si4 phase. However, silicon suffers from huge volume change of ~300 ...
The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials became very popular amongst scientists and engineers alike, after the discovery of graphene, showing promising physical, electrical, and optical properties. Since the advent of ...
