Krishnappa Manjunath received his master's degree from Sri Venkateshwara University, Tirupathi, India. He received his PhD in Chemistry from Jain University, India, under the guidance of Prof. T. Ramakrishnappa in 2016. During his PhD, he was awarded a prestigious "CNPq-TWAS" fellowship in 2014 for a one-year internship and worked with Prof. Jairton Dupont, FRS, at the Laboratory of Molecular Catalysis, UFRGS, Brazil. In 2016, he

joined the International Centre for Materials Science, JNCASR, Bangalore, where he is currently working as a research associate with Prof. C. N. R. Rao, FRS. His research interests mainly focus on investigations of aliovalent anion substitution in inorganic materials and their applications for water splitting reactions to generate hydrogen. He has authored more than 30 internationally reputed articles, mainly concerning advanced functional materials and nanomaterials for photocatalysis.

Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research,

The basic theme of this book is to understand the fundamentals of porous functional materials, their properties, and significant applications. Mesoporous materials play a remarkable role in various applications, with their properties such as surface area, porosity, etc. In several fields, such as solar cells, batteries, photovoltaics, and energy conversions, mesoporous materials are considered to be important materials. This book covers the fundamentals of mesoporous materials, and various methods of synthesis, properties, and applications in different sectors. I hope that all the chapters in this book present advances and progress in the field

of mesoporous materials.
