Abstract

The present chapter gives an overview of the recent investigations of the author on advanced materials for various industrial applications with practical impact in daily lives. One area is the energy sector that includes energy storage systems specifically the Li-ion battery technology. In this part, results on the potential electrodes and electrolytes for future all solid-state batteries are discussed. Industrial catalysis is another major area of research where the particular focus has been given on TiO2-based photocatalysts as well as mesoporous oxide-based heterogeneous catalysts. Finally, various mechanisms for the corrosion and protection against corrosion of materials are discussed. All the research activities are performed theoretically using various computational chemistry tools. This chapter provides a proper scientific roadmap for an “industrially develoved” future Bangladesh.
