Nano-functional Materials Laboratory is engaged in research and development (R&D) on high surface area carbon aerogels and metal nano particle loaded carbon aerogel for various applications like catalyst for hydrogen isotope separation, hydrogen recombiner, hydrogen production and fuel cells for departmental applications. High surface area carbon materials are finding its demand in energy material for super capacitors.

• Synthesis of carbon aerogels
• Platinum-loaded carbon aerogel (Pt-CA)
• Catalyst for Hydrogen Recombiner for CECE based heavy Water decontamination
• Non-noble metal catalyst for Hydrogen production application
• Carbon aerogel (CA) for Supercapacitor
• Pt-CA electrocatalyst for Fuel Cell
