Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage

• The lab is engaged in electrocatalytic applications and employs operando/in situ techniques to characterise and control electrocatalytic processes. We employ two kinds of approaches: ambinent temperature electrocatalysis and high temperature electrocatalysis (800 degree C). PhD students are likely to work on projects such as "electrochemical CO2 conversion to Fuels" & "H2 generation using water electrolysis" using either of these approaches. We are looking to include one PhD student in our team during this year's interviews.

• Congratulations Dr. Vipin Kamboj for successfully defending your PhD thesis!

• Prof. Werner Weppner from the University of Kiel and Prof. V. Thangadurai from University of Calgary  visited our lab in Feb 24 and talked to and encouraged our students. Thanks, Professors.
