WELCOME TO STORAGE TECHNOLOGY AND ENErGY MATERIALS LABORATORY
STEM LAB at SRMIST-KTR bridges the gap between materials engineering, nanotechnology, and advanced device design to tackle critical global challenges in sustainable energy storage and wearable technologies. By breaking down traditional boundaries, we translate fundamental materials science insights into real-world devices-specializing in high-performance supercapacitors, battery materials, 2D nanomaterials, and functional printable inks for flexible electronics. We focus on developing next-generation materials from the atomic level up to engineer practical, high-impact technologies.
Driven by the demands of healthcare monitoring, smart textiles, and soft robotics, we design lightweight, mechanically compliant, and skin-safe power sources—including flexible micro-supercapacitors and hybrid energy units.
Our work spans the development of functionalized textile electrodes, printable carbon- and MXene-based conductive inks, and biocompatible, high-performance gel polymer electrolytes engineered to maintain electrical and mechanical integrity under continuous body movement.

Our research on hybrid supercapacitors (HSCs)—including asymmetric and zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitors—focuses on engineering advanced electrode architectures that bridge the gap between high power density and high energy storage.
Our work encompasses tailored material synthesis, custom ink formulations for scalable fabrication, and optimized electrolyte interfaces, paving the way for next-generation, high-performance energy storage units powering wearable devices, portable electronics, and self-powered smart systems.
