Nanomaterials hold promise for the future, and are expected to bring revolutionary changes, specifically in the area of renewable energy. Meeting the global energy challenge will require new technologies based on advanced energy devices using multifunctional materials. Our research lies in the broad areas of Nanomaterials and Energy technology, in particular, development of novel nanostructured materials for energy storage and conversion applications. Our research focuses on the materials science and physics of various energy storage and conversion systems that will have great impact on our society. Some of our broad areas of interest include Carbon nanostructures- CNTs and Graphene, 2-dimensional layered nanostructures- MoS2, WS2 etc, Supercapacitors, Lithium- and Sodium-ion batteries, Gas Storage. We do various experimental analyses to understand the underlying physical phenomena in these systems. Some of our current research interests include:
IC-MAP ON STORAGE
DST-IISER Thiruvananthapuram integrated clean energy material acceleration platform on storage, set up by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), intends to make the clean energy technology affordable and accessible worldwide. The consortium at IISER Thiruvananthapuram, consisting of a core team of researchers from 15 partnering institutes, aims to accelerate the development of Solid-State Battery technology using Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence through automated processes. The centre would leverage the expertise and knowledge toward solid-state battery research.
