On 1st October 2026, our students Jenifer Mariya. J, Krithika. S, and Swathi. K had the opportunity to present their undergraduate research projects at the International Conference on Advanced Functional Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage Devices (ICAFMES–2026), organized by the School of Basic Sciences and the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, VELS Institute of Science, Technology & Advanced Studies (VISTAS).
The students presented their research projects on green synthesis of nanoparticles and sustainable applications, showcasing innovative approaches in nanotechnology and environmental science.
Jenifer Mariya. J presented her project titled:
“Green Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Using Curry Leaves for Photocatalytic Water Purification.”Her work explored the use of curry leaf extract as a natural and eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles, with a focus on their potential application in photocatalytic water purification.
Krithika. S presented her undergraduate research project titled:
“Eco-Friendly Extraction of Pectin from Powdered Citrus Peels: A Comparative Analysis of Orange and Sweet Lime Peels.” Her project focused on the sustainable utilization of citrus peel waste for the extraction of crude pectin, highlighting the value of converting food waste into a useful biomaterial.
Swathi. K presented her project titled:
“Green Synthesis of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Using Prosopis juliflora (Seemai Karuvelam) Leaf Extract.”Her research explored the potential of Prosopis juliflora leaf extract as a plant-based method for the synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles.
The conference provided the students with a valuable platform to present their research, develop scientific communication skills, interact with researchers, and gain exposure to current developments in advanced functional materials and nanotechnology.
