DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY

The Department of Chemistry, University of Kerala, established in 1937 and emerging as a full-fledged science department in 1957, is one of the University’s leading centres for teaching and research. Initially engaged in applied research of national importance, the Department has evolved into a vibrant hub for advanced chemical education and interdisciplinary research. The Department offers three M.Sc. programmes—Chemistry, Chemistry (Renewable Energy), and Chemistry (Functional Materials)—along with a Ph.D. programme. It has awarded over 200 Ph.D. degrees and published more than 5,000 research papers in reputed national and international journals. Well-equipped laboratories and state-of-the-art analytical facilities support cutting-edge research, including BET surface area analysis, electrochemical workstations, LC–MS, gas chromatography, HPLC, NMR, FT-IR, fluorescence spectroscopy (FLS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), UV–Visible spectroscopy, and SECM facilities. A well-stocked departmental library with 5,545 volumes, including an extensive Chemical Abstracts collection, further strengthens research and academic excellence.

CENTRE FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MATERIALS
