Plasmonic NPs are usually poor solar-to-electricity converters. We say they aren’t; not using electrons, but with plasmonic heat. We have developed plasmon-powered STEGs with a record efficiency of ~11.5%. Now out in Nano Letters. Congrats Radha Krishna Kashyap pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

A nicely written report by Biplab Das on our recently published work on plasmon-powered solar thermoelectric generator - go.nature.com/3V8Cy6v Thank you Nature India for covering our work. The original work was published in Nano Letters IISER Pune Radha Krishna Kashyap

We continue our efforts in developing all-InP QD based light harvesters. This time we show ‘ligand-directed FRET process’ between green and red emitting InP QDs in solution and solid states - now out in Applied Physics Letters. Congrats @Mr_Lumens & Adhra Sury pubs.aip.org/aip/apl/articl…

We have a PhD position on phosphate-driven non-equilibrium assemblies funded from European Research Council (ERC) at FIT - Uni Freiburg Universität Freiburg Freiburg Chemistry Institutes. Deadline for application is 01/08/24. More information can be found here: static1.squarespace.com/static/5fc3928… RT appreciated!



“Conference on Advances in Chemistry for Energy and Environment (CACEE-2024)” from 16-20 December 2024 at TIFR, Mumbai. The abstract submission deadline is 15th September 2024. cacee2024.org CACEE TIFR #cacee2024


Thank you Pavan G V Pavan Kumar for having me in Pratidhvani. I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Many memories were cherished. 🙏

Happy to share that our latest work has been published in Nano Letters ! 🎉 Facet engineering in perovskite nanocrystals boosts two-photon emission! 🔬🌟 George Thomas' Group Narayan Pradhan IISER Thiruvananthapuram Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science PicoQuant TIMI TITUS Sumit Kumar Dutta Arghyadeep Garai pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Another interesting work from George Thomas' Group

Exceptional achievement 👏👏👏Congratulations Hotha ji Srinivas Hotha We are all proud of you.

We have developed Cu nanoparticles with excellent stability & light-to-heat energy conversion efficiency, for plasmon-driven high-temperature studies.The work is out in Chemical Science. Congratulations to Shreya Tyagi Radha Krishna Kashyap Ankit Dhankhar pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…


Introducing ansiotropic Au-Rh superstructures for plasmonic photocatalysis. A site-selective growth of Rh islands on AuNRs boosts the photoregeneration of biological cofactors. Now out in Chemistry of Materials. Congratulations Ankit Dhankhar shorturl.at/WKFzr

PhD positions are available in our group IISER Pune. Details of our work can be found at pramodpillai.com. If you are interested in our research on light-matter interaction at nanoscale, please apply via iiserpune.ac.in/education/admi…. Apply under physical chemistry experiment

Once again, had a fantastic time with my students SoPhyC: Society of Physical Chemistry, India. Devika Rajan, Merin Varghese, Pramod Pillai, @ Anoop Thomas, and Sabnam Kar. IISER Pune IISc Bangalore IIT Bombay IISER Thiruvananthapuram


Quantum dots (QDs) continue to surprise us in photocatalysis. This time, InP QDs enable ammonia synthesis with light — advancing beyond the Haber-Bosch process. Now out in J. Am. Chem. Soc.. A tremendous effort by Vanshika Jain Shreya Tyagi Pradyut Roy #SERB shorturl.at/HbyZc
