Professor Neerish Revaprasadu, FRSC, is a Senior Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Zululand. He obtained his BSc (Hons) from University of Natal, South Africa in 1994 and PhD from Imperial College, London, UK in 2000. He has published 275 research articles and 35 book chapters. He has more than 7200 citations with an H-index of 43 (Google Scholar). He has given more than 90 lectures at national and international conferences. His research focus is on developing routes for the delivery of high-quality functional materials. The current focus is on earth abundant materials using metal complexes as single source precursors via solventless, hot injection and chemical vapour deposition routes. The functional materials are used for application in energy generation and storage. He is a Member of the Academy of Science, South Africa (MASSAf) and a NRF B-2 rated scientist.
Dr Malik Dilshad Khan received his Masters and MPhil degree in chemistry from Quaid-I-Azam University (Pakistan) and PhD from the University of Zululand, South Africa. He carried out his PhD research at the University of Manchester. He has published 70+ research articles, 6 book chapters, and has given many keynote scientific talks at national and international conferences. He is an NRF-rated researcher in South Africa. He is an expert in designing and synthesizing metal–organic precursors for the preparation of high-quality intermetallic compounds, solid solutions, high entropy materials, metal chalcogenide nanomaterials and thin films via different routes. He was a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Physical Chemistry-Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw. The research is focused on developing efficient and stable photo-/electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution, catalysis at the Liquid-Liquid interfaces and Zn–air batteries.
