Research summary
AI-generated

J.K. Rath works on nanomaterials and nanostructured devices for energy conversion and storage, including solar cells, perovskite nanocrystals, batteries, and electrocatalysis for water splitting. Much of the recent work involves laser-based fabrication techniques (pulsed laser ablation) to make electrode materials without binders, as well as studies of thin-film and nanoscale semiconductor materials. This research would suit students interested in materials science and engineering approaches to renewable energy technologies such as solar cells, batteries, and electrocatalytic hydrogen/oxygen production.
