Welcome to the Nazar Group

Nazar lab’s research focus encompasses complex material synthesis, physical, and structural characterization, electrochemical testing, and electrode design for various energy storage devices. Promising new directions particularly lie in nanomaterials. We offer the possibility of moving into the realm of high-capacity systems that operate on the basis of intimate contact of the redox active components. The research employs a range of physical chemistry techniques, including ex-situ and in-situ studies involving X-ray/neutron diffraction, Raman microprobe, and NMR spectroscopies, combined with fundamental electrochemical studies used to examine the underlying processes in solids. We are a multidisciplinary group consisting of students enrolled in the Departments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
