2D Materials
Our research focuses on the synthesis and development of advanced two-dimensional (2D) materials, particularly Xenes such as molybdenene and borophenes, using simple and scalable microwave-assisted, solvothermal methods for supercapacitors and flexible, wearable electronic devices. We also work on the fabrication of MXene-based heterostructures engineered for energy storage applications. Our work emphasizes controlled synthesis, structural and morphological characterization, and understanding of its electrochemical performance. These efforts aim to advance the design of next-generation materials for efficient, sustainable energy solutions.
