Description
Nanostructured thin films of metal oxides/ chalcogenides with various morphologies viz., particles, wires, rods, tubes, plates etc., have been significantly envisaged in various optoelectronic devices including thin film transistors, photoelectrochemical cells, heterojunction-based solid-state solar cells, polymer solar cells, gas sensors, dye-sensitized solar cells, batteries and supercapacitors etc. To suffice the requirements of the device, novel structures have been synthesized and successfully evaluated. Since single-component metal oxide/form cannot satisfy all essential requisites for a specific optoelectronic device, so the emphasis has been made to synthesize property oriented nanostructures to provide a much-needed functionality. For example when one wishes to use metal chalcogenide/oxide as counter electrode like platinum, then synthesized nanostructures of NiS, CoS, FeO3 etc., should necessarily possess catalytic properties. In this talk, the benefits of solution-processed metal oxide/ chalcogenides nanostructures in the areas of energy (conversion and storage), chemical sensors along with synthesis approach will be discussed. Moreover, biological applications including protective antigen detection and antibiotics in addition to gas sensors and supercapacitors will be highlighted.

About the Speaker:
Prof. Rajaram S. Mane received his PhD in Physics from the Shivaji University, Kolhapur in 2000. He was a postdoctoral fellow and an Assistant Professor in the Chemistry Department at Hanyang University, Korea during 2004–2006 and 2007–2008, respectively. In 2009, he was the research faculty of Oxford University, UK. Since 2010, he has been a regular professor and a visiting professor at the S.R.T.M., University, Nanded and at Pusan National University, Busan, Korea, respectively. He is actively engaged in synthesis, characterization, solar cells, electrochemical super-capacitors, chemical sensors and bio-active applications of various metal chalcogenide/oxide nanostructures/thin films, and published about 300 research articles.
