Welcome! Bienvenue! Bienvenido! Benvenuto! Willkommen! 歡迎! ようこそ! 환영! καλως ΗΡΘΑΤΕ! Swaagatam!
Warm regards and greetings. Welcome to our research group Faraday Materials Laboratory (FaMaL) webpage.
We are an interdisciplinary research group (established in November 2013) based in the Materials Research Centre (MRC) at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, INDIA. Our research effort is focused on solid-state (inorganic) chemistry and materials science related to rechargeable batteries for energy storage. With the major interest in electrochemical materials science and minor interest in magnetism, our group is named after Sir Michael Faraday (1791-1867), who has contributed immensely to the broad field of electrochemistry and electromagnetism. His scientific productivity, work ethics and gentle personality is truly inspiring. Overall, three main words of our scientific effort are: Electrochemistry, Materials and Chemistry.

'Energy' has emerged as the principal concern in the 21st century, where sustainable 'generation' and efficient 'storage' form two key sectors. We focus on materials chemistry for synthesis, structural and electrochemical investigation of electrochemical energy storage devices such as rechargeable batteries and electrochemical supercapacitors. These devices have positive and negative electrodes at their core. The discovery and development of positive (cathode) and negative (anode) insertion materials is important for building better batteries. Our group logo is derived from Tao philosophy, depicting the importance and balance between positive and negative parts of rechargeable batteries and more philosophically about complementary aspects of life. "Lets TAO energy".
FaMaL started in November 2013. It is an interdisciplinary group having students from different parts of India with educational background in Physics, Chemistry, Metallurgical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science. We are an experimental group focusing on synthesis, structural and electrochemical investigation of energy materials. FaMaL maintains 512 sq ft of office space and 737 sq ft of laboratory space in MRC building. Our long term goal is to conduct fundamental materials to device research with strong interaction with other academic and industrial partners.
Our base is at Materials Research Centre (estd. 1978), a department focusing on interdisciplinary research and education on 'materials science and technology'. It belongs to the 'Division of Chemical Sciences' at the Indian Institute of Science (estd. 1907). You are most welcome to browse our website, explore our research effort and to visit our lab, department and Institute.
We will be privileged to get your queries, opinion and suggestions to improve our research work.
Enjoy Browsing FaMaL.
Best Regards,
Dr. Prabeer Barpanda
