Research Contributions
One notable contribution concerns the green synthesis of soluble graphene using aqueous polyphenol extracts from eucalyptus bark. The study investigated a plant-derived route to graphene and evaluated the resulting material for high-performance supercapacitor applications. [3] Another publication examined soluble graphene produced from Delphinium denudatum root extract for lightweight supercapacitor applications. [4] His work has also addressed ternary ZnIn2S4/g-C3N4/graphene nanocomposites for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under solar illumination. [5]
