Dendritic Growth And Spread Of Electrochemical Research In India

Electrochemistry Research has undergone a rapid growth in India during the last decade due to several reasons. Ambitious renewable energy targets with implicit need for storage systems, More focused attention on Electric Mobility due to climate related commitments, enhanced public interest in environmental remediation and effluent treatments, expanding research-infrastructure in many IISERs, new IITs, NITs and other private and public universities, availability of diverse types of size and shape selective materials and many other such reasons are responsible. Several laboratories are doing well in developing new materials for applications in batteries, biosensors, fuel cells etc., despite barriers for industrial deployment. This article examines the status of research in electrochemistry and contiguous areas providing a cursory glance of some of the recent excitements.
