I have authored a book chapter ( Metal Nanocomposites—Emerging
Advanced Materials for Efficient Carbon Capture) in the book entitled "Metal Nanocomposites for Energy and Environmental Applications" (published in 2022).  In this chapter, I have covered the most recent developments (until 2021) in the field of metal nanocomposites that have been found extremely efficient for CO2 capture. The prominent metals include Mg, Fe, Ni, Al, Cu etc. which have been combined with graphene, activated carbon and polymers. 

This piece of work is close to my heart as I wrote this chapter during the second wave of covid 19 in India (year 2021). That was an uncertain time and I had no official affiliation with IISER, however, I was working there as a consultant on contract. I got an invitation to contribute to a book chapter for this particular book through an old friend, who is a faculty at a premiere institute in India.

I accepted this invitation because my last published work was way back in 2013 and later in 2021 as I rejoined scientific research  in 2020 after working in the industry and academia for 7 years. So this work was accomplished from home (with all the responsibilities of home and children!), and I was working from home till it got published in 2022. As navigating research and family simultaneously is extremely difficult, but as I look back, that also gives me immense strength and courage to propel ahead in adversity.
