Prof. M. Eswaramoorthy

Our research centers on the design of functional nanomaterials and porous systems for energy, environmental, and sustainability applications. We investigate heterogeneous and electrochemical catalysis, with emphasis on water splitting, oxygen evolution, and CO₂ conversion. Our work further explores nanoporous and hybrid materials, advanced membranes for molecular separations, and emerging concepts such as magnetically modulated catalysis, alongside sustainable materials for controlled release systems.
