Report

Introduction:

A one day International Conference on Nanomaterials for Energy and Environmental Applications (IC-NEEA-2023) was organized by Department of Chemistry on 21st March 2023. The international conference was arranged on hybrid mode (Online + Offline). The conference brought together leading researchers, scientists, academicians, and practitioners from around the world to share and exchange their research findings, ideas, and experiences in the field of nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications. This report provides an overview of the conference, including the Inauguration, key themes, presentations, and discussions.

Inauguration

The conference was inaugurated by honorable Prof. P. S. Patil, Pro-Vice Chancellor, Shivaji University, Kolhapur. He enlightened the need of research in day today life and encouraged students to do their career in research. Dr. R. V. Shejwal, Joint Secretary (Administration), Shree Swami Vivekanand Shikshan Sanstha, Kolhapur & Principal of our college, was a president of inaugural function. All other faculty members of college were present for inaugural function of conference.

The presentation focused on the use of nanomaterials in improving the efficiency and performance of solar cells. In this talk, he has discussed about materials engineering approaches for hybrid nanostructures (BiVO4, TiO2 and WO3), glass making, electrode fabrication and then fine-tuning electrical, optical, and catalytic properties of these nanomaterials for specific applications. Various synthesis strategies for inorganic hybrid nanostructures also highlighted. 

"Solar Light Responsive Nanomaterials for A Sustainable and Clean Environment" by Dr. Thillai Sivakumar Natarajan from the Environmental Science Laboratory, CSIR-Central Leather Research Institute (CSIR-CLRI), Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The presentation highlighted journey in developing various types of solar light responsive nanomaterials for the degradation of environmental pollutants.

"Two Dimensional Nanomaterials for Advanced Catalysis" by Dr. Srinivaas Masimukku from National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan. The presentation explored the use of nanomaterials in removing pollutants and contaminants from water in a more efficient and cost-effective manner through photocatalysis based on 2D materials, including metal oxide or chalcogenide nanosheets, graphene or graphene oxide and carbon nitride.

“Nanotechnology and Nanomedicine for Biomedical Applications” by Naresh Kuthala, Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway. The presented highlited use of the gold nanostructures like AuNRs, Au-nanoshells, Au-nanocages and nanohexapods to treat cancer cells and malignant tumors in NIR biological window.

The each presentation was followed by discussions and question answering between speaker and participants, which provided an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and experiences. There was poster presentation by the paricipants covered a range of topics related to nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications.

Valedictory Function

In a valedictory function, Dr. Vilas Karjinni, Executive Director, KIT’s College of Engineering Kolhapur, addressed gathering and highlighted research ethics and importance of research in human life. 

Conclusion

The International Conference on Nanomaterials for Energy and Environmental Applications provided an excellent platform for researchers, scientists, and practitioners to share and exchange their research findings, ideas, and experiences in the field of nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications. The conference highlighted the potential of nanomaterials to contribute to the development of sustainable energy and environmental solutions. The conference also identified several key challenges and opportunities for future research and development in this field.
