PhD Title: Development of Pd-decorated MXene/ZIF-8 based membrane for Methane Sensing
Sajini’s research focuses on developing a Pd-decorated MXene/ZIF-8 Hybrid membrane for sensitive and selective methane (CH4) detection at room temperature.
The outcomes of this study are expected to provide insight into the sensing mechanism and demonstrate the potential of Pd-MXene/ZIF-8 membranes as low-power, high-performance
methane sensors for environmental monitoring and industrial safety applications.
