Research highlight

My research is centered around developing stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layers for NaK alloy batteries. To achieve this, we use in situ characterization techniques to determine the composition of the SEI layer. Additionally, I am involved in studying the electro-Fenton process for generating hydroxyl radicals which can help degrade Perfluoroalkyl substances in water.

UB is very diverse and inclusive. You get to learn something new everyday!

Outside the lab I like to play badminton and go on long drives!

Congratulations, Mayuresh!
