Techniques:

Ball milling (wet and dry), Annealing, Thermal treatment, Sonication, solvo-chemical, etc. used for synthesizing and optimizing carbon-based nanomaterials, composite catalysts, and thermal-storage materials through scalable and research-oriented methods.

Materials Synthesis & Processing Methods:

Ball Milling - Applied high-energy ball milling for the synthesis and structural modification of nanomaterials, including nitrogen-doped graphene and MOF-derived composites; used to promote nanoscale mixing, defect engineering, and scalable composite formation.
Sonication (Ultrasonication) - Utilized ultrasonication for dispersion, exfoliation, and homogenization of nanomaterials in liquid media; applied to achieve uniform nanoparticle distribution in composite and suspension systems.
Solvothermal / Solution-Based Processing - Performed solution-phase synthesis and processing to prepare nanomaterials and composite precursors under controlled chemical environments; used to facilitate controlled nucleation, growth, and functionalization of materials.
Thermal Treatment - Conducted controlled heat treatments to induce structural transformation, carbonization, or phase evolution in nanomaterials; used to tailor material properties such as graphitization, porosity, and catalytic activity.
Annealing - Applied thermal annealing under controlled atmospheres to improve crystallinity, remove defects, and stabilize material structures following synthesis or processing.
Plasma Treatment - Utilized plasma treatment for surface activation and modification of materials to enhance surface chemistry, interfacial bonding, or functionalization.
