About
🔋 Battery R&D Engineer | Solid-State Electrolytes | Cell Fabrication | Energy Storage Innovator I'm Mahendhar Mohan, a dedicated battery research and development professional with 2+ years of hands-on experience in energy storage innovation, lab-scale prototyping, and pilot-scale manufacturing. With a postgraduate degree in Green Energy Technology and a strong foundation in nanoscience, I’ve immersed myself in the practical and analytical aspects of battery materials, solid-state electrolytes, and cell engineering. My work spans across electrode processing, cylindrical cell fabrication, and the development of oxide-based and semi-crystalline materials for advanced battery and supercapacitor applications. 💼 My Core Focus Areas: 🔋Cell Fabrication & Testing: Hands-on expertise in cylindrical cell assembly, electrode coating, electrolyte filling, and full-cell validation using Neware, ARBIN, Bitrode, and BioLogic systems. 🧪Material Development: Specialized in solid-state electrolytes and nanocomposite electrode materials (e.g., SnO₂-Graphene) for next-gen batteries and supercapacitors. 🔎Analytical Characterization: Proficient with XRD, SEM, TGA-DSC, FTIR, Raman, UV-Vis, and electrochemical techniques such as CV, EIS, and GCD to evaluate material performance. Process Optimization: Experience in roll-to-roll coating, calendaring, slitting, and improving manufacturing efficiency with a cross-functional team approach. 🛠 Leadership & Collaboration: I’ve led small teams in dry room operations, contributed to cross-functional projects involving fabrication, testing, and design, and worked closely with electrical and mechanical engineers to optimize end-to-end battery production. 🔍 Driven by Purpose: My goal is to contribute to the future of sustainable energy through advanced battery technologies that are safer, longer-lasting, and more efficient. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams, combining lab research with engineering insight to bring ideas from concept to reality. 📌 Let’s connect if you’re working on energy storage, battery R&D, or sustainable tech development. I'm always eager to collaborate, learn, and help power a better future. #BatteryResearch #CellEngineering #SolidStateBattery #EnergyStorage #MaterialScience #GreenTech
