Electrochemical energy storage laboratory plant operation professor

What is the key role of electrochemical energy storage and conversion?

Electrochemical energy storage and conversion will play a key role in any future scenario, especially for transportation and bulk electricity generation which provides alternative solution for pollutions, greenhouse effect and dependency on oil producing countries.

How do we design electrochemical processes?

We design electrochemical processes by tuning local chemical environments at the solid-electrolyte interface. Our research relies on molecular engineering of the electrolytes and interfaces, aiming to achieve fast and stable electrochemical energy storage and conversion.

What is electrochemical storage technology?

Electrochemical storage technologies are supposed to provide solution to decentralized units as well as to stationary use. However, their present form is not suitable due to high cost, less safety, and poor longevity.

Why are electrochemical energy storage systems not suitable?

Present form of any of the electrochemical device is not suitable owing to their high cost, less safety and poor longevity. It is thus necessary to reduce capital cost and to enhance the service life, and reliability of electrochemical energy storage systems.

What techniques do we use to study electrolytes and solid-electrolyte interfaces?

Our group puts a significant emphasis on mechanistic studies and the utilization of advanced characterization techniques. We use in situ X-ray scattering and spectroscopy, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance techniques to probe electrolytes and solid-electrolyte interfaces.

What are the current limitations of electrochemical storage devices?

Present form of any of the electrochemical device is not suitable owing to their high cost, less safety and poor longevity. Electrochemical storage technologies are supposed to provide solution to decentralized units as well as to stationary use.
