Laboratory of Nanomaterials and Photovoltaic Devices
Responsible: Dra. Mou Pal
Email: 
In this laboratory, mainly semiconductor thin films are developed by chemical deposition method and their applications in solar cell technology.
The materials are essentially metal sulfides. In addition, nanoparticles of photoactive materials which are commonly metallic oxides and chalcogenides
are synthesized by the techniques such as solvothermal, chemical precipitation, colloidal synthesis, etc. and characterized for applications in
photocatalysis and solar cells.
The laboratory has the necessary infrastructure to design and fabricate nanomaterials and photovoltaic devices. There are fume hood, dip-coater,
materials and accessories required to perform the synthesis of nanoparticles, thin films and heterostructures, muffle furnace and tubular furnace
for thermal treatments in controlled atmosphere to improve microstructural, optical and electrical properties of the films.
