Enhancement in the Selectivity and Sensitivity of Ni and Pd Functionalized MoS2 Toxic Gas Sensors
Atmospheric pollution is one of the major aspects of concern which led to the research of sensors for the detection of toxic gases. The supreme surface-To-volume ratio makes two-dimensional MoS2 a promising material to be used as an electronic sensor. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of a high-performance gas sensor based on atomic-layered MoS2 nanoflakes synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process. Structural and morphological studies confirmed the formation of few-layered phase pure hexagonal MoS2 nanoflakes. The results demonstrate that the Pd-MoS2 layers exhibited a very high relative response to NO gas (700%) at 2 ppm concentration with a minimum NO detection limit of 0.1 ppm and Ni-MoS2 demonstrated a relative response of 80% towards H2S gas with a limit of detection of 0.3 ppm with good repeatability and selectivity, owing to the increased adsorption energy of NO on Pd-MoS2 and H2S on Ni-MoS2 through the formation of PdNOx and NiS2 complexes respectively. The improved sensing performance of this MoS2-based sensor also suggests the great potential and possibility of MoS2 related 2D materials and its combinations for the development of futuristic highly sensitive nanosized gas sensors suitable for anti-pollution automotive system and as volatile biomarkers

Civilisation-Washing: Caste and Indian Diplomacy at the G20 Summit
This article analyses Indian diplomacy at the 2023 G20 Summit, which India hosted. It uses a Critical Caste Studies approach to foreground the role of caste in Indian diplomacy, focussing on four prominent discursive tropes at the Summit – the naming of India as Bharat, the promotion of a ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Praya’ associated with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s philosophy of Integral Humanism, the philosophy of Vasudhaiva Kutumbatakam (the world is a family/ the world is home) and the portrayal of India as the Mother of Democracy. By analysing these tropes, we argue that Indian diplomacy at the G20 Summit constituted civilisation-washing: the external projection of an apolitical and antipolitical civilisational transcendence to obfuscate and naturalise an upper-caste Hindu supremacism. We suggest that civilisation-washing serves a tool of illiberal authoritarianism, justifying the undermining of accountability and individual rights in the name of cultural authenticity and moral superiority.Priya Chacko, Vineet Thakur
The natural/neglected relationship: liberalism, identity and India-Australia relations
Published online: 27 Oct 2015Recent commentary on India–Australia relations has defined the relationship as ‘natural’ and based on ‘shared values’ and ‘shared history’. The relationship has simultaneously been considered ‘neglected’. The paradoxical juxtaposition of a natural/neglected partnership is yet to be adequately explained. We consider the historical construction of liberalism in both states as a facet of state identity to argue that, far from creating a natural relationship, differing liberal identities have served to keep these two states apart. This is illustrated through case studies of divergent opinions over the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and the rise of China.Priya Chacko & Alexander E. Davi
