Research Thesis, Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas, USA August 2015 - December 2016
Electrochemical Characterization of Vanadium Pentoxide (V2O5) And Activated Carbon (AC) Electrodes in Multivalent
Aluminum Nitrate (Al(No3)3) Electrolyte for Battery-Type Hybrid Supercapacitor Applications
Developed an energy storage device, hybrid supercapacitor which combines the advantages of battery and
supercapacitor. In this study material properties were tested by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction and
Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. Study demonstrated combine high energy storage with less recharging
time and repetition of charge discharge cycles in a multivalent electrolyte.
PAPERS AND PUBLICATIONS
 Submitted a short communication paper to Electrochimica Acta on “Electrochemical Characteristics of V2O5 in Aqueous
Multivalent Al(No3)3 Electrolyte” – Under Review
 Technical Paper on ‘Design and Study of Solar Concentrator Using Flat Hexagonal Petals’ in ASME ECTC 2015
