Materials Engineering for Advanced Energy Storage Systems
Babu Ganguli
Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering
Rice University
Abstract: The state-of-art Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors have been at the forefront among various energy storage technologies due to their uniqueness of high energy density and power density. However, if the future energy needs are taken into account, especially energy density, power density, form factors, miniaturization, wider temperature operation etc., then the currently available electrode and electrolyte materials and their interphases will need significant modifications at a fundamental level, and thus considerable opportunities exist for scientific advancements in materials science and technological developments. Based on these challenging problems, we have been working at the innovative front of materials design and development for advanced energy storage systems such as Li-S batteries and Li-ion capacitors. This talk will discuss the various strategies with respect to electrode and separator materials engineering to mitigate polysulfide dissolution and thus boost the Li-S battery performance. Also, energy storage technology that simultaneously provides high energy and power densities.
Short Bio: Dr. Babu Ganguli is working as a Research Scientist in the department of Materials Science and Nanoengineering at Rice University since July-2016. Babu has over 13 years of industry and academic experience in energy storage systems (Supercapacitors, Li-ion, Li-S and Mg-ion batteries). With three research grants on energy storage materials, he has published over 53 research articles in reputable international journals with 1650 citations and an H-index of 18, filed 8 patents in the field of materials chemistry and engineering. He worked as a researcher for several government and industry-funded projects including oil-industries, semiconductor, and electric vehicle manufacturers.
