Introduction
The Department of Nanoscience
and Nanotechnology, University of Kerala, organized a five-day national
workshop on emerging trends in nanotechnology from 20-24 May 2024. Inaugurated by Dr. Anilkumar, Registrar of the University of Kerala, the workshop was attended by 42 participants from various institutions across the country. Each day began at
10:00 am with lectures in the forenoon and lab sessions in the afternoon,
featuring hands-on training in nanomaterial synthesis and characterization
techniques.
Agenda
and Content
The
workshop included diverse topics related to emerging trends in nanotechnology,
thoughtfully designed to ensure a seamless knowledge transmission seamlessly for the
participants.
Day 1: 20 May 2024
The
workshop commenced with a prayer song and a welcome address by Dr. I.
Hubert Joe. The inaugural session included a presidential address by Prof.
(Dr.) K. S. Anilkumar, highlighting the significance of nanotechnology. Dr. E.
Shaji, Dr. G. M. Nair, and Dr. K. S. Sibi also delivered felicitations. Dr. S.
R. Sarath Kumar concluded the session with a vote of thanks.
The
first lecture by Dr. S. R. Sarath Kumar focused on "Introduction to
Nanomaterials," followed by a session on "Synthesis of
Nanomaterials." Afternoon lab sessions included analysis of
co-precipitation, thin film deposition, SEM, XPS, EDAX, AFM, XRD, and Raman
Spectroscopy.
Day 2: 21 May 2024
Dr.
Jijimon discussed "Synthesis of Nanomaterials," exploring various
techniques. Dr. Sibi K. S. covered "Characterization of
Nanomaterials," focusing on XRD, SEM, and EDS. Afternoon lab visits
provided practical exposure to synthesis processes and advanced
characterization techniques.
Day 3: 22 May 2024
Dr.
Rakhi R. B. presented on "Nanostructure Electrode Materials for Energy
Storage," followed by Dr. Savitha Pillai S.'s lecture on "Emerging
Applications of Nanomagnetic Materials." Afternoon lab sessions included
hands-on training in thermal evaporation, UV-visible NIR spectroscopy,
co-precipitation techniques, Raman spectrophotometer, X-ray diffractometer,
SEM, TEM, and XPS.
Day 4: 23 May 2024
Dr.
Deepa K. G. discussed "Nanomaterials in Solar Photovoltaics,"
highlighting solar cells and their applications. Dr. I. Hubert Joe's session on
IR and Raman spectroscopy followed. Afternoon lab sessions included XRD, FTIR,
Raman, hydrothermal and co-precipitation synthesis, thin film deposition, UV-VIS
spectroscopy, SEM, EDAX, XPS, and AFM.
Day 5: 24 May 2024
Dr.
S. R. Sarath Kumar delivered a session on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
(XPS), followed by a demo presentation on Origin software by Ms. Alice and
supported by research scholars. The workshop concluded with a Valedictory
session by Dr. Sabu, Dean of the University of Kerala, who emphasized the
future potential of nanotechnology. Certificates were distributed, and participant feedback highlighted the insightful talks and practical lab sessions.
