Surface Engineering of Graphene for Electrocatalysis

Aneeya Kumar Samantara, is presently working as a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Chemical Sciences, National Institute of Science Education and Research, Khordha, Odisha, India. Additionally, Dr. Samantara is working as Advisory Board member in Editorial Board of a number of Publishing Houses. Recently he joined as Community Board Member of Materials Horizon , one of the leading Journals in materials science, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, London. He has authored/co-authored about 23 peer-reviewed international journal articles, ten books (with Springer Nature, Nova Science, Arcler Press, Intech Open), and four book chapters. He obtained his PhD at the CSIR-Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. Dr. Samantara's research interests include the synthesis of metal oxide/chalcogenides and graphene composites for energy storage and conversion applications. Satyajit Ratha obtained his PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, India. Recently he joined as Community Board Member of the Nanoscale Horizon , one of the leading Journals in materials science, published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, London. His research interests include synthesis and characterisations of two-dimensional semiconductors, nanostructures and their application in energy storage devices and supercapacitors. Brahmananda Chakraborty is a senior scientist in High Pressure & Synchrotron Radiation Physics Division of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai and Associate Professor in Homi Bhabha National institute, Mumbai, India. His current research interest includes Density Functional Theory (DFT) & Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations of various 2D materials for energy storage (both electrochemical and hydrogen), biosensors, and photo-catalytic activities. He is also involved in simulating reactor fuel and structural materials and investigating behavior of materials under high pressure. Dr. Chakraborty got his PhD degree from IIT, Bombay for his research topic on 'Irradiation Effects and Hydrogen Storage on Carbon Nanotubes'. He did two years Postdoctoral research in North Carolina State University, USA. He received International Association of Advanced Material (IAAM) Scientist Medal in 2017. He has published book chapters with Elsevier and in Apple Academic Press. He teaches Density Functional Theory at North Carolina State University, USA and Computational Physics and Statistical Physics at Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai.
