The department current application includes the research in the new cutting edge topic based on the design single atom catalysts on oxide supports. These isolated metal centers can break strong bonds like N≡N or C=O. The goal is to make ammonia or methanol under mild conditions. This matters because industrial Haber Bosch runs at high pressure. A single atom platinum catalyst can split water without heating. Another example uses iron complexes to reduce CO₂ into formate. These discoveries cut energy use in chemical plants. They also help store renewable energy as fuels. The impact is a cheaper, greener way to make basic chemicals. This incredible research has placed the department of chemistry of Techno India University, West Bengal in the topnotch scientific innovation in the sense that we have been able to achieve the ammonia production in a sustainable and in a different approach. Currently further research has been carried out to achieve maximum ammonia production, a much needed for Country’s self dependence on fertilizer production in which the ammonia being the basic ingredient for the same.
The department of chemistry current application also includes use of photonic environment instead of heat to drive reactions. A simple LED bulb can activate a photo catalyst like ruthenium or organic dye. This lets you couple two organic molecules at room temperature. No need for harsh reagents or high pressure. For instance, you can make biphenyls for drug scaffolds in one step. The method also works for late stage functionalisation of complex natural products. Pharmaceutical companies now test this for making lead compounds faster. It reduces waste because fewer byproducts form. The real gain is speed and safety in synthesis.
The current application area by the department of chemistry involves the use of fire laser pulses that last femtoseconds. That’s fast enough to catch bonds vibrating or breaking in real time. You aim a pump pulse to start a reaction, then a probe pulse to take snapshots. This reveals how energy flows through a molecule. For example, you can see why some molecules relax without reacting. Or why a certain catalyst transfers an electron faster. The data helps build better models for solar cells or photo catalysis. Without this, reaction mechanisms stay guesswork. The outcome is rational design, not trial and error.
We are also working in the area of two dimensional materials; the novelty of this application is huge. A perfect sheet of graphene or MoS₂ is rare. Real samples have holes, extra atoms, or grain boundaries. Materials chemists now deliberately add these defects. A single sulfur vacancy in MoS₂ can become a catalytic hot spot. Doping with nitrogen turns carbon sheets into metal free electrodes. You can even pattern defects to create quantum dots on a surface. This work leads to flexible transistors and ultrasensitive gas sensors. It also improves battery anodes by making lithium storage sites. The impact is cheap, printable electronics from common elements.
Department of Chemistry has also introduced the tandem conjunction of machine learning approaches to understand the reaction pathways leveraging the neural networks. Theoretical chemists train machine learning models on quantum chemistry data. A neural network learns the energy of a molecule as atoms move. Then it predicts reaction barriers millions of times faster than DFT. You can simulate a whole catalytic cycle in minutes, not months. For example, find the rate limiting step in a ruthenium catalyzed olefin metathesis. The model also works for solvent effects or surface adsorption. No need to solve Schrödinger’s equation repeatedly. This speeds up discovery of new catalysts or photo stable dyes. The real value is turning chemistry into a data driven science.
