About Me
Welcome to the Electrochemistry and Nanocatalysis Research Laboratory at the Institute of Chemistry, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Pakistan.
I am Prof. Dr. Muhammad Farooq Warsi, Professor of Physical Chemistry at the Institute of Chemistry, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB). I have been serving as a faculty member at IUB for the past fifteen years. After completing my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Victor Chechik in the Physical-Organic (Nanoscale Materials) Research Laboratory at the University of York, United Kingdom, I joined The Islamia University of Bahawalpur, where I have established an active research program in electrochemistry, nanomaterials, and advanced functional materials.
Our research group comprises enthusiastic undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate students who are actively engaged in a wide range of research projects. Their dedication and contributions have resulted in numerous high-quality publications in internationally recognized journals, including ACS Applied Energy Materials, Electrochimica Acta, Fuel, International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Hazardous Materials, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, ACS Energy & Fuels, RSC Advances, Ceramics International, Journal of Energy Storage, and Journal of Alloys and Compounds, among many others.
We maintain active research collaborations with several leading universities and research institutions around the world, including:
Our laboratory is equipped with modern research facilities that support advanced investigations in electrochemistry, nanomaterials, photocatalysis, and energy-related applications. Major facilities include:
Our laboratory is committed to conducting high-impact research, fostering international collaborations, and training the next generation of scientists in electrochemistry, nanotechnology, and advanced functional materials. We welcome collaborations with researchers, academic institutions, and industrial partners who share our vision of developing innovative materials and sustainable technologies for future energy and environmental applications.

Research and Development Projects
1. Metal Sulfide-Graphene Nano-Heterostructures for Advanced Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices Fabrication
With: HEC-NRPU (2016-06 - 2018-06)
Metal Sulfide–Graphene Nano-Heterostructures for Advanced Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices FabricationThis research project focused on the development of metal sulfide–graphene nano-heterostructures for advanced electrochemical energy storage applications. The primary objective was to fabricate high-performance electrode materials with enhanced electrical conductivity, improved electrochemical stability, and superior energy storage capabilities.Through funding provided by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, a state-of-the-art electrochemical workstation was procured, significantly strengthening the laboratory's research infrastructure. The facility is now extensively utilized by graduate researchers for a wide range of electrochemical characterization techniques, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).The equipment acquired through this project continues to support cutting-edge research in supercapacitors, batteries, electrocatalysis, and other electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies, while also enhancing the research and training capabilities of postgraduate students.
2. New magnetically separable and recyclable nanostructured metal oxides photocatalysts for water purification
