Research Interest

Dr. Senthilkumar Ramasamy Research focuses on the rational design and synthesis of advanced nanostructured materials for sustainable energy conversion and storage applications.Dr. Senthilkumar Ramasamy particularly interested in developing high-performance electrocatalysts and functional nanomaterials for supercapacitors, dye-sensitized solar cells, electrochemical CO₂ reduction, and next-generation rechargeable batteries including sodium-ion, potassium-ion, and zinc-ion systems. My work emphasizes tuning morphology, composition, and interface engineering to enhance charge transfer kinetics, ion diffusion, and long-term stability. Additionally, I investigate catalytic mechanisms for hydrogen evolution (HER), oxygen reduction (ORR), and oxygen evolution (OER) reactions to improve the efficiency of fuel cells and water-splitting technologies. Through an integrated approach combining materials chemistry, electrochemical analysis, and device fabrication, my goal is to develop cost-effective, scalable, and environmentally sustainable energy technologies.
