About
Mukul D. Tikekar is a leading researcher in electrochemical energy storage, with a primary focus on lithium-based secondary batteries. His work addresses fundamental challenges in battery stability and performance, particularly through the design of advanced electrolyte systems. Tikekar’s most influential contribution is his 2015 paper on nanostructured electrolytes for stable lithium electrodeposition, which has garnered over 220 citations. This work tackles a critical bottleneck in next-generation batteries: the formation of dendritic lithium deposits that cause short circuits and capacity fade. By engineering electrolyte architectures at the nanoscale, Tikekar demonstrated a pathway to suppress dendrite growth, enabling safer and more durable lithium metal anodes. His research bridges materials science and electrochemistry, offering practical solutions for high-energy-density storage beyond conventional lithium-ion technology. Tikekar’s insights are widely recognized for advancing the understanding of ion transport and interfacial stability in solid-state and hybrid electrolytes. His contributions have implications for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and grid-scale storage, making him a key voice in the pursuit of safer, more powerful batteries.
