Dr. Deepa Singh Advanced Electrochemical Energy Storage Researcher
Currently serving as an Institute Postdoctoral Fellow (IPDF) at IIT Kanpur, I specialize in the synthesis, crystallographic structural analysis, and operando mechanistic evaluation of next-generation energy storage technologies. My research bridges foundational materials chemistry with scalable, high-performance sustainable energy solutions.
Aqueous Battery Systems (Zn-ion & Zinc-Air)
Core focus on developing high-performance, cost-effective, and safe stationary energy storage utilizing zinc substituted phosphates, pyrophosphates, defect-rich spinels, and lithium-rich vanadium oxides.
Non-Aqueous Battery Systems (Li-ion, Na-ion, & K-ion)
Advanced exploration into tailoring materials (like NASICON-type and layered structures) for secondary alkaline-metal transport, leveraging techniques like atomic layer deposition (ALD) and thin-film RF sputtering.
