Homogeneous catalysis is one of the most interesting fields of chemistry, especially for its mechanisms and kinetics. It provides an admirable opportunity for the study of molecular causes of reactivity, and the causes of reactions. The process is of immense practical importance as it leads to a better understanding of reactions involving metal ions with prospective Industrial Applications.

Nano Metal Oxides for Photocatalysis

Synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles is a remarkable significant field of material science due to its unique magnetic, electronic, bio-sensing, catalytic and biological applications. To tackle issues like Atmospheric Contamination, Water Pollution and Power Crisis, photocatalysis has gained an ever-increasing attention and progressively become an area of significant research . Heterogeneous Photocatalysis Development has been a successful approach to enhance the absorption of light through range of wavelengths and to discourage the recombination of charge-carriers.

Reaction Kinetics

Chemical kinetics is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of the rate of chemical reactions and the mechanism by which they occur. The rate laws are of practical importance since they provide concise expressions for the course of the reaction and can be applied in calculating reaction times, yields, and optimum conditions. The application of reaction kinetics in organic chemistry is the most important step in the investigation of reaction mechanisms and the most prospective field of application is Pharmaceuticals .

Corrosion Characterization of MMC

Metal Matrix Composites are an important class of materials, which contain metal or alloy as matrix and a ceramic particulate or fibre or whiskers as reinforcements.
