Recent Developments in Nano Materials for Energy and Health Care Applications .......................................................................................................................................................................................

Overview With the ever increasing demand for sustainable energy and need for therapies to cure life-threating deceases, st there is little doubt that these two areas will dominate the future of modern science in the 21 century. The advancements in Science and Technology in the past three decades have brought in revolutionary changes in both of these areas, although they are unable to catch pace with the gradually multiplying energy demand on one hand and the microbes that are getting drug-resistant on the other. Recent studies indicate that nano-materials are emerging as key materials in offering creative solutions toboth of these areas. Properly designed nano-structures show superior efficiencies for solar-energy conversion, thermo-electric energy harvesting, wasted biomass conversion to fuels, hydrogen storage and cost-effective electrodes for hydrogen generation. Likewise, nanomagnetic materials are the preferred choice for targeted drug delivery and contrast agents in clinical diagnostics. For the present collegiate student community to stay competitive, it is imperative that they equip themselves with the knowledge and expertise in the area of nano-materials and technologies. For this to happen, a thorough understanding of the design, synthesis and physico-chemical properties of nano-materials is critical. Knowledge of materials chemistry, quantum effects, magnetic properties and textures of nano-particles are essential for young students to be competitive in the high-tech workforce market. The art of designing the nano particles for a given application requires a mastery of these topics. A short-term multi-disciplinary course, covering these topics, is very useful and value-addition to the academic qualifications. Attendance at this work shop will expose the participants to cutting edge developments in the design and development of novel materials for applications in energy generation and creative ways by which nano-materials can be exploited for therapeutic/diagnostic applications. The proposed topic is interdisciplinary in nature and would be useful for cohorts of students with varied scientific and engineering backgrounds. Course participants will learn these topics through lectures and hands-on experiments. The study materials and assignments will be shared to stimulate research motivation of participants.

Objectives: The primary objectives of the course are as follows: 

Exposing the participants to the concept of nano-materials, the importance of particle dimensions on the structural, textural, physical and chemical properties.



To provide participants with an understanding of magnetism at nano-scale and its implications in medicinal applications.



To train and enhance the knowledge of participants in the area of water splitting by using nano-sized catalysts as electrodes.



To impart theoretical and practical skills to participants about the scope of harvesting energy from biomass using nano materials with controlled shape and composition.



Providing exposure to practical issues and problems associated with the use of nano-materials for drug delivery and their curative efficiency for cancer.
