Making a Materials Difference to Green Energy with Prof Saiful Islam

Professor Saiful Islam's research interests encompass major contributions to the deeper understanding of atomistic processes in energy materials, especially those related to lithium batteries and perovskite solar cells. Recent efforts have focused on new cathodes for lithium-ion batteries, on solid electrolytes for lithium and sodium solid-state batteries, and on understanding the behaviour of novel perovskite solar cell materials.
Saiful’s research has been recognised with a number of awards including the 2020 American Chemical Society Award in Energy Chemistry, the 2017 Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Peter Day Award for Materials Chemistry and the 2013 Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit award. With the RSC in 2021, he regained the Guinness World Record for the highest voltage (2,307 V) from a lemon battery!
We are delighted that Professor Islam has agreed to give this talk on his latest research and his contributions to St Anne's and the wider university.
