Recent research highlights significant advancements in battery chemistries, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage, and thermal energy systems; however, persistent challenges such as high manufacturing costs, limited cycle life, low energy density, and environmental impacts continue to. Recent research highlights significant advancements in battery chemistries, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage, and thermal energy systems; however, persistent challenges such as high manufacturing costs, limited cycle life, low energy density, and environmental impacts continue to. The rapid global shift toward renewable energy has made efficient and reliable energy storage technologies (ESTs) essential for addressing the intermittency of solar, wind, and other clean energy sources. Sometimes two is better than one. Coupling solar energy and storage technologies is one such case. The reason: Solar energy is not always produced at the time. Research Interests: photovoltaic system performance and reliability, solar cell materials and device characterization, renewable energy integration into power grids, hybrid photovoltaic and energy storage systems, green hydrogen production from solar energy, modeling and simulation of PV.
