Research Interests

· Electrode materials and interfaces for alkali metal-ion batteries (viz., Li-/Na-/K-ion); with special emphasis on the Na-ion chemistry

· Solid electrolytes and all-solid-state Li/Na metal batteries

· Electro-chemo-mechanical responses of electrode materials (including in-situ/operando investigations)

· Electrochemical energy storage devices; from concepts → materials → electrodes → cell → prototype

· Development of bulk polycrystalline ‘ceramic alloys’

· Carbon nanotube reinforced ceramic composites
