Research

Our experience and expertise span the investigation of Li-ion, Na-ion, Li-S, Li-O2, multivalent, and aqueous Zn batteries; solid electrolytes and all-solid-state-batteries; solid-state electrochemistry; operando electrochemical studies (XRD, UV-Vis, Raman, etc.); cell design & development; materials development & optimization; nanomaterials and composites; solid-state & inorganic chemistry. Currently, we are focusing on the following topics.

All Solid State Batteries 

 Development of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) and battery components using solid electrolytes.

Novel Solid Electrolytes

Development of novel inorganic and polymeric solid electrolytes with superior alkali metal ion (Li+, Na+ etc.) conductivity.

Aqueous Zn batteries

Aqueous rechargeable Zn (anode) batteries for large-scale (grid-storage, renewable, home) stationary storage applications.

Opaerando Analysis

Operando analyses of battery materials and novel operando cell development for XRD, RAMAN etc.
