Research
Dr. Banerjee leads a research group that is experimenting with four major themes, which include: These themes are directed at understanding the interaction between geometric and electronic structure at interfaces and in solid-state materials as well as examine how these interactions translate to functional properties. This research ranges from materials synthesis to device integration and mechanistic studies of catalysis and intercalation phenomena. Applications of this research ranges from Mott memory to thin films for the corrosion protection of steel.
 * Solid-state inorganic meterials exhibiting unusual chemical bonding motifs and electronic instabilities
 * Spectroscopy and chemical imaging of the electronic structure of 2D materials, nanomaterials, and interfaces
 * Developing metal—organic syntheses for the rational growth of metal oxide and oxyhalide nanocrystals
 * Functional nanocomposites and thin films with an emphasis on corrosion inhibition and lightweighting
