Solid-State Battery and Hybrid Power Research at University of Dayton
Batteries store and release energy electrochemically and provide portability to myriads of applications (power sensors to electric vehicles). The lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is the most advanced battery system that, beyond power electronics, has begun power commercial electric vehicles and getting ready to power hybrid airplanes and space shuttles. But the quest for a lighter, smaller, long-lasting, quick-chargeable, safer battery continues. The Electrochemical Energy Systems Laboratory (EESL) of UDRI has been engaged in battery research, especially solid-state battery research for over 2 decades. This presentation will include the research being carried out at EESL to make the present Li-ion safer and energy denser. Moreover, exciting reserach on energy density, and environmentally benign battery systems (Lithium-sulfer, lithium-oxygen, lithium-ion capacitors), beyond Li-ion will be presented. Current research on hybrid power system (Li-ion + capacitor, Li-ion+capacitor+Li-S, etc.) development will be alson presented.
Biography:
Speaker’s Bio: Dr. Jitendra Kumar obtained his Ph.D. (solar cell and spintronics) in Physical Chemistry at the University of Delhi, India in 2007. In 2007 he joined UDRI as Associate Research Engineer to develop energy materials for solid-state battery funded by AFRL. Currently, he is a Senior Scientist and leading the battery and hybrid power research at EESL (funded by Army, NASA, FAA, and Ohio Federal Research Network). Dr. Kumar is holding joint appointment with ECE, UD as a part-time faculty and teaches courses related to battery and hybrid power system and also guides students pursuing Ph.D. and Master Degrees. Dr. Kumar’s research related to battery, solar, spintronics, water purification, bio-materials have been widely published in reputed journals, over 35 research articles, one book chapter, many conference presentation/proceedings. His research work yielded five patents and two of them are already licensed by a world famous company known for producing best electronic gadgets.
