Research Interests: 2D nanomaterial; energetic nano additives; catalytic nitrogen reduction reaction; water splitting; energy storage; Li ion batteries; Na ion batteries; CO2 capture

Prof Kabeer and his team have been able to discover a new family of nano materials that are analogous to graphene but rich in boron. His team is presently in a stage where their focus is to utilise the boron-rich nanosheets and attempt to address certain long-standing challenges in three domains – energy storage (developing a better anode for rechargeable ion batteries, improving solid-state hydrogen storage), energy generation (better energetic additives in solid propellants), and energy conversion (hydrogen evolution reaction by water splitting, nitrogen reduction reaction, CO2 capture). His team has been able to obtain extremely encouraging results on all these fronts, validating the rich potential that he had envisaged for these novel nanostructures.
