Heterogeneous Catalysis and
In situ Spectroscopy Research Group

The research laboratory of Dr Kanak Roy at the Department of Chemistry, Banaras Hindu University focuses in developing heterogeneous catalysts for crucial chemical reactions through fundamental insights from in situ/operando spectroscopy   

Current Projects

Metal on Oxides Single Atom Heterogeneous Catalysts for CO2 to Methanol

Generating hydrogen through photocatalytic water splitting 

Interested summer project trainees &
PhD candidates and Postdocs, please write to kanak.roy@bhu.ac.in for open positions.
