Perovskites as artificial SEI layers

As an Indian international student, I embarked on an enriching scientific journey by pursuing a master's program in Advanced Materials Innovative Recycling (AMIR), supported by EIT Raw Materials. This program provided me with a multidisciplinary education encompassing sustainability, recycling, innovation, and also entrepreneurship. My studies broadened my perspective on the importance of sustainability and inspired me to seek further expertise in the field of electrochemistry specifically in batteries.

Motivated by my passion for sustainable batteries and their impact on society, I decided to go on a Ph.D. journey with ‘’DESTINY’’. DESTINY is a European Doctorate Programme supported and co-funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie COFUND Ph.D. Programme. My Ph.D. research project is a collaboration between the Warsaw University of Technology (Poland) and the National Institute of Chemistry (Slovenia). As part of this project, I will explore innovative ways to enhance the performance, stability, and safety of lithium metal batteries by using perovskites as artificial SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase).

Participating in DESTINY offers me an exceptional opportunity to engage in collaborative endeavors with researchers, industry experts, and academic institutions representing diverse backgrounds and disciplines. This collaborative environment facilitates the exchange of knowledge and expedites technological advancements. Furthermore, I am confident that through my involvement in DESTINY, I can fulfill my long-term aspiration of becoming a battery scientist and making substantial contributions to society.
