Event: International Congress on Materials Science and Nanotechnology (November 20–22, 2025 | Singapore & Online)
🔍 A Breakthrough in Material Science Research
Prof.
Shuchitangshu
Chatterjee, Vice Chancellor of RKDF University, India,
is pioneering research on transforming Indian Galena Ore (PbS) into high-performance
materials for thermoelectric
generators, pressure transducers, and solar-selective
coatings. His work showcases how indigenous minerals can play a
crucial role in advancing sustainable technology and energy efficiency.
⚙️ Key Insights from His Presentation
·
Revolutionizing Pressure
Measurement:
Galena’s natural semiconducting property makes it an excellent material for
pressure sensors. When pressure is applied, the electrical resistance of Galena
changes, allowing precise measurement through electronic
circuits.
·
Temperature Sensitivity and
Stability:
The research highlights the need for temperature compensation to ensure reliability,
making Galena-based transducers practical for industrial and scientific
applications.
·
Developing Solar-Selective
Coatings:
Using thermal
evaporation techniques, Prof. Chatterjee and his team created
coatings with high
solar absorptivity (α = 0.95–0.97) and low thermal
emissivity (ε = 0.21–0.27) — a key requirement for efficient
solar thermoelectric generators.
·
From Indigenous Minerals to Modern
Energy Devices:
The Galena coatings derived from Rajasthan’s Zawar mines proved comparable to
lab-synthesized PbS films, demonstrating that locally available materials
can meet global scientific standards.
·
Advanced Analytical Techniques:
The coatings were extensively analyzed through X-ray diffraction,
electron
spectroscopy, and optical reflectance studies, confirming their
structural and functional properties in the 0.3–3.1 μm
spectral range.
🌞 A Step Toward Affordable Clean Energy
This
research underscores the potential of India’s mineral wealth to contribute to renewable
energy technologies. By using native resources, Prof.
Chatterjee’s approach supports cost-effective manufacturing, energy
sustainability, and technological self-reliance — aligning with the
global movement toward green innovation.
