Research Fellow, School of Chemistry, Monash University

Binayak finished his PhD degree in 2019 from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay in India. The research topic of his PhD was to understand and improve the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of complex borane compounds for their application as reversible hydrogen storage materials.

As a part of StorEnergy, Binayak is continuing in his passion to find new materials for energy storage applications. At Monash University, he is working on developing novel electrolytes to address the challenges of next generation high voltage (5 V) lithium batteries.

Binayak enjoys playing tennis and chess. On rainy days, he plays his own tune in harmonica and enjoys reading mystery novels.

Training

The Centre will provide skills and training in advanced manufacturing across the energy storage supply chain – from materials through to devices and into integrated commercial products – to facilitate the next-generation of energy storage technologies.

Research

Working with the industry partners, researchers will design and manufacture new energy storage devices and components, including advanced Li ion, supercapacitors and solid state Li and Na batteries, with improved rate capability, capacity and safety.

Industry

In close collaboration with industry, the centre will build value across the sector, from developing supply chains, new devices and technologies to integrating and embedding these technologies with end-users.
