About

Dr A. K. Singh did his D.Phil. in Chemistry from the University of Allahabad, Allahabad India. Dr Singh is currently working as a Professor of Chemistry at Govt. VYT PG Autonomous College, Durg (Chhattisgarh) India. His research interest includes the synthesis and characterization of nano-crystalline solid thin films, nano-oxides, Quantum dots, and their application, Perovskite materials for solar cell, Heterogeneous Fenton’s process for the removal of various pollutants (dyes and drugs), Adsorption/removal of heavy metal ions, the biological activity of nanomaterials, photocatalysts, etc. Dr Singh has been appointed as an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Chemistry &Physics, KwaZulu Natal University, Durban, South Africa. He has published more than 165 research papers in peer-reviewed Journals and also published more than 15 book chapters in international repute. He serves as a reviewer of many reputed international journals (Elsevier, Wiley, American Chemical Society, Springer, Royal Chemical Society, Taylor, and Francis). and is also a member of various National and International Chemical Societies. Recently, he became an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences India (MNASI) in Allahabad, India. He has completed four research projects funded by the Chhattisgarh Council of Science and Technology (CCOST) Raipur, University Grants Commission, New Delhi (India). Dr Singh has received a project entitled “Ultrahigh-Efficiency lead-free Perovskite solar Cells” under the scheme India-Bulgaria Bilateral Scientific and Technological Cooperation, funded by the Department of Science & Technology (International Bilateral Co-operation Division).
