The major aspect of our research is to develop gold based nanomaterial to address problems in biology and materials. Gold nanoparticles are known for more than 50 years. Our group members are excited to develop new synthetic routes of gold nanomaterials and apply them in host-guest chemistry, electrochemistry, magnetism, catalysis, biomolecule detection. We are currently focusing four major aspects on gold based nanomaterials.
Recent research presentation in "Meet IIT Roorkee Chemistry Rising Stars" is available in the link.
1. Aggregated Gold Nanomaterials for Luminescence and Supra-particles: This study is going on with non emissive nanomaterial. We are modifying the synthetic route of nanomaterial to introduce luminescence property.

2. Gold Nanoflower for DNA and Peptide Detection: We are also interested to find out the role of amine modified single strand DNA structures into the formation of gold nanoflower. This nanoflower has been further applied for the detection of DNA . Roles of specific amino acids and their interactions with gold nanoparticles are currently ongoing for the detection of single mutation in the peptide sequence.
3. Gold based nanocomposites: We are working on the development of facile synthetic routes for bimetallic nanocomposites and using them as catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction, host-guest chemistry.
4. Small Molecule as Sensor: In this respect, we shall use the synthetic chemistry knowledge to synthesize small molecules via "top-down" or "bottom-up" approach for the development of host-guest interaction with gold nanoparticle. This host-guest combination has been applied for the detection of biomolecule in low concentration such as nanomolar concentration.
