Research Interests:
My recent research studied a number of routes to the fabrication of novel nanostructured electroactive materials.
These include:
- 3D architectures based on carbon nanotubes and their application in areas such as fuel cells, energy storage and biology.
- Flexible aligned carbon nanotube/ conducting polymer electrodes used for the anodic oxidation of methanol and as anode materials in a Li-ion battery.
- Biocompatible and electrochemical active fibrous nanowebs from carbon nanotubes and biomaterials as substrates for biosensors and cell culturing.
- Opaline nanostructured electrodes utilised for methanol oxidation and photoelectrochemical cells.
