About
Dr. Palyam Subramanyam graduated from the Energy and Environment Group in the Chemistry Department at IIT Hyderabad, India. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Vigo, Spain. Previously, he conducted postdoctoral research at Hokkaido University, Japan (2020-2023).
Dr. Subramanyam has considerable expertise in photoelectrochemistry for energy conversion, with a special emphasis on photo-electrocatalysis for hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, and N2 reduction, as well as photovoltaics. His strengths include synthesizing narrowly-sized distributed semiconductor nanocrystals and quantum dots, developing single-atom catalysts (SACs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), creating plasmonic nanostructures and hybrid nanostructures, and understanding charge carrier and electron transfer dynamics.
He has extensive experience operating and maintaining sophisticated instruments of world-class repute, such as UV-Vis spectrophotometers, fluorescence spectrophotometers, steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy systems (nanosecond, picosecond, and femtosecond laser systems), single-particle fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy, Raman spectrometers, incident photon current conversion efficiency (IPCE) measurement tools, gas chromatography systems (Varian and Shimadzu with TCD, FID), physisorption (BET) adsorption apparatus, X-ray diffraction (XRD) instruments, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), hydrothermal synthesis reactors (Parr reactors), photoreactor setups, microwave synthesis reactors, atomic layer deposition (ALD) systems, helicon sputtering systems, Filmetris F20-UV, multiple sputtering systems, laser microscopy, and various electrochemical techniques (linear sweep voltammetry, amperometry, impedance, and Mott-Schottky analysis).
Throughout his academic and research career, Dr. Subramanyam has maintained an excellent academic record and has published 22 papers in international journals during his doctoral and postdoctoral studies. Currently, he is working on single-atom catalysts derived from metal-organic frameworks for use in photoelectrochemical and electrochemical CO2 and N2 reductions.
