Welcome to the
Nanotechnology in Sustainable Energy Laboratory at SUNY OSWEGO
About Me:
I am Mohammad Islam, Department Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the State University of New York at Oswgo.
I am visiting Fellow at the National Renewable Energy Labortory at Golden, Colorado.
I am a participant at the Cornell University Platform for Accelerated Realization and Analysis of Interface Materials (PARADIM).
I collaborate with the Maryland Advanced Research Computing Center (MARCC) for Quantum Espresso based Density Functional Theory materials modeling.
Our Research
My research group is involved in comprehensive materials science research that is composed of: predictive nanomaterials design through Density Functional Theory (DFT); synthesis and characterization of the designed materials; and the fabrication energy conversion devices with the designed nanomaterials. Leveraging on my extensive and ongoing collaboration with DFT specialists, broad skills set in nanomaterial synthesis and characterization and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, I seek to produce disruptive sustainable energy technologies, and motivate students to take on the challenges of the 21st century. While my group seeks to understand energy science from atomistic point of view, our eventual goal is to upscale our methodologies for practical and make-ready technologies. Below are some of my specific research plans:
1. Growth of Functional Nanomaterials for Targeted Application.
2. Rechargeable Lithium ion and Sodium Ion Batteries Based on Environmentally Benign Inverse Spinel – Transition Metal Oxide (ISTMO) Nanomaterial Electrodes.
3. Silicon, Tin and Phosphorus Nanoparticles as Anodes for High Performance Lithium ion and Sodium Ion Batteries.
4. Calcium Batteries: Sustainable, low cost, locally sourced.
