(Head: Prof Dr Tan Winie)

Energy & Catalysis Group under the Centre for Functional Materials and Nanotechnology (CFMN) focusing on the research works involving synthesis and characterization of various types of nanomaterials with some modification and functionalization that can be used in many applications such as biofuel and renewable energy, batteries, super and semiconductors, solar cells, environment remediation and others. The research group concentrates on fundamental studies involving thermal, structural, morphological, optical, electrical, electrochemical, conductivity and etc. Our laboratory is equipped with a vast of equipment such as TGA, DSC, DTG, XRD, BET, FESEM, EDX, UV-Vis, FTIR, EIS, particle sizer, HRTEM, XPS and battery tester. We are welcome for national and international collaborations. At the moment, we also signed MoU with Australian Nuclear Science & Technology Organisation (ANSTO) and Samsung SDI Energy Malaysia Sdn Bhd. Our researchers also did short research attachments at Melbourne Synchrotron, Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI Thailand), Hiroshima University, and others. The research group intends to be a reference group for nanomaterials research in Malaysia. This centre intends to be a reference group for nanomaterials research in Malaysia.
