Research Project

Unlocking the Potential of Electrochemical Water Splitting for Sustainable Energy

In a world striving for cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions, electrochemical water splitting has emerged as a promising technology to generate green hydrogen — a carbon-free fuel of the future.

My research journey focuses on designing and developing efficient, stable, and low-cost electrocatalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER), Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER), and Overall Water Splitting (OWS). At REVA University, Bengaluru, my team and I explore non-precious transition metal-based materials such as Layered Double Hydroxides (LDHs), mixed metal oxides, nitrides, and sulfides, often hybridized with conductive supports like graphene, rGO, CNTs, and MoS₂.

Our aim is to:

  • Enhance electrocatalytic activity through composition and morphology control.
  • Improve charge transport via hybrid material design.
  • Ensure durability and stability for long-term operation.
  • Develop scalable and eco-friendly synthesis routes (including green combustion and hydrothermal methods).

Recent patents and publications in leading journals such as ACS Applied Energy Materials, ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, Nanoscale, and the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy reflect our progress in tuning surface chemistry and electronic structure to drive superior catalytic performance.
