Research summary
AI-generated

Keerthana Unni's research focuses on using tiny water droplets (microdroplets) as miniature chemical reactors to rapidly make nanomaterials like metal nanoparticles, nanorods, and thin films, often in seconds to minutes without conventional solvents or surfactants. The work also explores how these microdroplet environments can drive unusual chemical reactions, such as capturing carbon dioxide gas to modify molecules, and uses mass spectrometry (a technique for identifying molecules by their mass) to study charged particles and nanomaterials. This research could interest students in nanomaterials synthesis, green chemistry, and analytical chemistry.
