Vikram Kishore Bharti

About

I am a Chemical Engineer with research experience in Materials Science, Electrochemistry, and Energy Storage Devices, particularly focusing on battery materials and electrode design.

I have worked extensively with lithium-ion, lithium–sulfur, potassium-ion, and potassium–sulfur battery systems (including coin-cell assembly) and have developed a strong background in electrochemical testing and characterization. My experience includes exploring charge–discharge behavior, cyclic stability, and electrochemical kinetics using a variety of analytical techniques.

I am deeply passionate about advancing energy storage technologies and contributing to the broader goals of energy sustainability and green innovation. My long-term vision is to develop next-generation materials and battery systems that enable a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
