Welcome To Clean and Sustainable Energy Research Laboratory
Overview:
Energy is a vital issue in the
Twenty-first Century. Due to the rising global energy demand, the reducing
fossil fuel, and increased concerns over climate issues have shaped the development
of alternative, clean, and sustainable energy sources. The Clean and
Sustainable Energy Research Laboratory (CSERL) of CARS emphasizes cutting-edge
research aimed at improving the sustainability of chemical and physical
processing in the energy industry to achieve net-zero global emissions. This
laboratory will allow scientists to examine all aspects of green energy, from
the fundamentals to applied work in many disciplines. The main aim is to
develop sustainable clean hydrogen energy generation and storage, nanomaterial
and thin films for perovskite solar cells, next-generation lithium-ion
batteries, graphene and carbon quantum dots for photovoltaic and biomedical
applications, biodiesel production from non-comestible substrates/wastes,
adsorption science and engineering to meet this target. This laboratory has
been established for cutting-edge research, education and training purposes to
support higher degree research students, and the scientific community working
in this field.
