Welcome to Organic Chemistry & Materials lab
Mothika Research Group
Our primary focus is to develop functional organic material for energy and environmental applications. We aim at the applications of chemical sensing, capture, photocatalysis, and opto-electronics. The research flows through multi-step organic synthesis and extensive analytical understanding. The current research themes includes porous organic materials for photocatalysis and organic radicals for redox-optical-magnetic-electronic properties.
