	abstract = {<p>Phase controlled synthesis of hierarchical nanostructured beta-In2S3 dandelion flowers is realized by a rapid microwave solvothermal process using indium metal, nitric acid and thiourea as precursors. The tetragonal and cubic phases of the compound have been successfully and separately stabilized in the same type of dandelion morphology by using aqueous-mediated and methanol-mediated synthesis, respectively. The possible mechanism responsible for phase control is discussed. Optical properties of the flowers as well as their hydrogen generation capability by photodecomposition of H2S under visible light are also reported. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>Rutile TiO2 nanoneedle flowers (representing concurrent nano-micro hierarchical morphology) with high shape anisotropy ratio are synthesized at room temperature by using a simple and efficient one step electrochemical process of anodic dissolution. This process employs highly acidic bath of perchloric acid (pH \&lt; 2) and a large current density on the surface of Titanium foil to form nanostructures. The diameter and length of rutile TiO2 nanoneedle is similar to 8 nm and 100 nm respectively (aspect ratio \&gt; 10). Dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) configured using such rutile TiO2 flowers is shown to exhibit IPCE of 30\% and power conversion efficiency of similar to 3.6\%.</p>},

	abstract = {Exceptional Li-ion battery performance is presented with the oxide component of the anode was extracted from red mud by simple magnetic separation and applied directly without any further processing. The extracted material has -Fe2O3 as the major phase with inter-dispersed phases of Ti, Al, and Si oxides. In a half-cell assembly, the phase displayed a reversible capacity (approximate to 697mAhg(-1)) with excellent stability upon cycling. Interestingly, the stability is rendered by the multiphase constitution of the material with the presence of other electrochemically inactive metal oxides, such as Al2O3, SiO2, and Fe2TiO4, which could accommodate the strain and facilitate release during the charge-discharge processes in the electrochemically active maghemite component. We fabricated the full-cell assembly with eco-friendly cathode LiMn2O4 by adjusting the mass loading. Prior to full-cell assembly, an electrochemical pre-lithiation was enforced to overcome the irreversible capacity loss obtained from the anode. The full-cell delivered a capacity of approximate to 100mAhg(-1) (based on cathode loading) with capacity retention of approximate to 61\% after 2000cycles under ambient conditions.},

	abstract = {In this work we demonstrate a facile approach to the fabrication of all solid state flexible interdigitated micro pseudocapacitor device using pre-synthesized CuCo2O4 (CCO) ternary metal oxide as the electrode material. The hydrothermally synthesized CCO exhibits a peculiar 3D interconnected aligned porous nanowall type morphology which is highly desirable for storage as well as charge transfer. The device is fabricated using CO2 laser scribing technique and the PVA-H3PO4 gel electrolyte is used as the electrolyte. The as-synthesized CCO as well as its blend with 10 wt.\% CNT are examined for the electrochemical performance. CNT blending is shown to reduce the charge transfer resistance dramatically, thereby enhancing the pseudo capacitance. The areal capacitance of 2.29 mF cm(-2) is obtained from the solid state device. Moreover, the CCO-CNT electrode also shows a high stability upto 9000 cycles without a sign of further decay. Importantly, the devices also retain over 65\% of their initial capacitance after 1000 large angle (608) bending cycles and 93\% of the initial capacitance under 1208 bending condition, thanks to the mechanical flexibility afforded by CNTs without disrupting conducting paths.},
