Research Interests
The Thangadurai group works in the area of advanced all-solid-state batteries, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), microbial fuel cells and gas sensors. Some of the current research projects include:
- CO2 and humidity stable solid-state ceramic proton conductors, fast oxide ion electrolytes and mixed ionic-electronic conductors (MIECs) for advanced solid oxide fuel cells
- Understand the structure-chemical-composition-ionic conductivity property of inorganic structures to develop solid electrolytes for next generation all-solid-state batteries
- Novel ceramic materials for sensing various gases such as CO2, SOx, NOx, H2 and humidity
- Auxiliary electrode mediated membrane-free electrochemical redox cell for energy storage
- Develop new electrodes to utilize in microbial fuel cells for energy efficient sludge treatments
