1. Angle Resolved Raman Spectroscopy (ARPRS) for analyzing anisotropic nature of (NbTaTi)0.33S3nanoribbon: One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures exhibit unique properties that make them promising candidates for various technological applications. Achieving precise control over the anisotropic properties of these materials presents significant challenges due to the complex nature of their synthesis and characterization. In this study, investigation of the anisotropic nature of (NbTaTi)0.33S3nanoribbons using Angle Resolved Raman Spectroscopy (ARPRS) was performed. The motivation stems from the pivotal role of anisotropic properties in influencing the electronic, mechanical, and optical behavior of 1D materials, making them indispensable for diverse applications. Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive technique, is employed to probe the vibrational modes of the nanoribbons, providing insights into their anisotropic properties. Additionally, Angle Resolved Polarized Raman Spectroscopy (ARP-Raman) allows for the investigation of polarization and angle dependence of Raman scattering, enabling comprehensive analysis of the nanoribbons' anisotropic behavior. Our experimental results confirm the anisotropic nature of the (NbTaTi)0.33S3 nanoribbons, paving the way for further exploration and utilization of anisotropic 1D materials in various technological applications. 2. Utilizing type-II porous liquid as an additive in electrolyte to enhance Li-ion mobility: Literature investigates the potential of Type-II porous liquids as additives in electrolytes to enhance lithium-ion mobility in Li-S batteries. The study addresses the challenges associated with practical implementation of Li-S batteries, like low conductivity, which hinder their widespread adoption despite their cost-effectiveness and high specific capacity. By exploring the principles of Li-S batteries and Type-II porous liquids, the study aims to enhance understanding of the electrochemical processes involved and their interplay with host-guest interactions within the porous liquids. Through detailed experimentation and analysis, including the preparation of cathodes and electrolytes and battery testing, the study evaluates the influence of different molar ratios of Type-II porous liquids and LiTFSI salt concentrations on ionic conductivity. The results provide insights into the behavior of Li-S batteries with and without Type-II porous liquid additives, paving the way for future investigations to optimize battery performance and further explore the potential of porous liquids in energy storage applications. Future work may include the exploration of different types of porous liquids, electrolyte solvents, and reaction kinetics using advanced spectroscopic techniques to continue advancing Li-S battery technology.
