Environment and Sustainability Research Group (ESRG)
Where Materials, Sustainability, and Environment Interact!
Scope of Work
ESRG performs core and critical research in material design, sustainability, and environment. We correlate material chemistry knowledge in environmental remediation by adsorption and photocatalysis. Moreover, we develop sustainable waste management practices. Our team is currently working on microplastic sequestration and destruction. In addition, we are developing photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution set-up in our lab.
