Dr. Roy's research topic is mainly based on porous materials and their application in water remediation and catalysis. She is also currently working on
some advanced semiconductor-based porous materials towards exploiting easily available solar
spectrum for synthesizing some industrially important compounds. Apart from this she is interested to work on luminescent materials for their application in sensing purposes. Dr. Roy had completed Sponsored SERB-NPDF Project (No. PDF/2017/000390) on Nanoporous Transition Metal Based Semiconductors towards Catalysis and in Electrochemical Applications, as sole PI. Currently, UGC funded sponsored research project (UGC-Start up grant) has also been approved in which she is working as Principal Investigator of the project. She is also associated with many reputable international journals as
editorial board members and has received few international as well as national awards along with few professional recognitions.

Ligand-assisted soft-chemical synthesis of self-assembled different shaped mesoporous Co3O4: Efficient visible light photocatalysts Mouni Roy, Sourav Ghosh, Milan Kanti Naskar Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2015 Mesoporous self-assembled cobalt oxide (Co3O4) of different shapes was synthesized by a facile soft-chemical process using cobalt nitrate, oxalic acid and phosphoric acid in the presence of cationic templates, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, and pyridinium bromide at 75 °C/2 h followed by calcination at 300 °C.
A facile soft-chemical synthesis of cube-shaped mesoporous CuO with microcarpet-like interior Sourav Ghosh, Mouni Roy, Milan Kanti Naskar Crystal Growth and Design, 2014 Mesoporous cube-shaped CuO with a multishell microcarpet-like patterned interior was synthesized via a facile aqueous-based process using copper nitrate, oxalic acid, and phosphoric acid in the presence of triblock copolymers (TBCs), L64, P123, and F68 at 80 °C/2 h followed by calcination at 300–500 °C. The obtained products were characterized by differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. A possible mechanism for the formation of microcarpet-like patterned interiors in the presence of TBCs as surfactants was illustrated.
