He is also deeply involved in urea electrolysis, where he investigates high-valent nickel-based catalysts to develop cost-effective and energy-efficient processes for hydrogen production from urea-based waste. Additionally, Dr. Chandraraj’s research addresses nitrate and oxygen reduction reactions by tuning metal oxidation states in catalyst systems, optimizing their performance for environmental and energy applications. His broader goal is to innovate in renewable energy by developing advanced nanomaterials and surface modifications that enhance the efficiency and durability of catalysts used in clean energy technologies.
