About Guest Lecture
Dr. Kurra, in his talk, highlighted the importance of energy storage in the energy current landscape and highlighted how nanomaterials could help overcoming the challenges. He also took the audience for a historical journey of 2D materials highlighting their synthesis, properties and applications especially in the context of energy storage. He mentioned how Nobel-award-winning Li-ion battery was developed, and the modern society was looking beyond battery to find suitable candidates for supercapacitor. He then extensively discussed his area of research involving MXenes and how it has become the “material of the century” within 12 years since its first report by his postdoctoral advisor Prof. Yuri Gogotsi. In his presentation, he pointed out the technicalities and nuances of MXene synthesis and its fabrication along with salient properties for supercapacitor applications for e-mobility. The participants thoroughly enjoyed the webinar as evident from the enthusiastic participation from students and faculty members.
