Our research involves nanomaterials and processing for energy storage, detectors using solid state processes. For energy storage our study involves synthesis and characterization of oxide-based electroceramics (Perovskite oxides ABO3, CaCu3Ti4O12). The properties and applications of many electroceramics depend on the close control of the crystal structure, composition, ceramic microstructure, dopants and dopant (or defect) distribution. Materials of well-defined composition are synthesized and characterized by a variety of studies like TG/DTA, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), FTIR. The electrical and dielectric properties are usually characterized by AC Impedance spectroscopy and Electrometer with variation of frequency and temperature.  Impedance spectroscopy is a powerful technique which is being developed to probe electrical inhomogeneities in ceramics, and in particular to study electrode/sample interfaces, surface layers, electro-active grain boundaries, core-shell phenomena within electrically heterogeneous grains, ferroelectricity and ionic conduction. This multi-technique approach has helped rationalize the composition-structure-property relationships in important electroceramics which include ferroelectrics, solid electrolytes and high temperature superconductors.
