He works in the area of nanotechnology with a focus on processing-structure-property characterization of two-dimensional materials and molecular precursor derived ceramics for energy-based devices. Singh's research on liquid phase exfoliation of 2-D crystals to generate atomically thin sheets of graphene oxide, tungsten and molybdenum disulfide for high capacity metal-ion batteries has appeared in top American Chemical Society and Nature journals.
Research in Dr. Singh’s lab at K-State is focused on two major areas:
- Synthesis and fundamental property characterization of precursor-derived ceramics based hybrid composites for high temperature applications (for example, absorber coatings for thermal calorimeters and low-cost pre-ceramic polymers for ceramic matrix composites) and
- Large-scale exfoliation of layered materials for energy storage devices (i.e., metal-ion battery electrodes based on conversion reactions). Singh’s lab has made important contributions in these areas that are reflected in the increased number of citations (>2900).
