Sanjeev Mukerjee Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology s.mukerjee@neu.edu 617.373.2382 Expertise electrochemical energy conversion and storage, electrochemistry of electrode materials, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, solid state chemistry, spectroscopy Sanjeev Mukerjee in the Press Charlotte Observer ‘Battery guru’ says more energy storage research needed Sanjeev Mukerjee, who heads Northeastern University’s Center for Renewable Energy Technology, will be among the panelists Friday at the Charlotte Chamber’s annual Energy Summit. Known as “the battery guru,” Mukerjee says renewable energy, with its on-and-off cycles, won’t reach its potential until there’s a way to store energy. Sanjeev Mukerjee for Northeastern Global News Can you get electrocuted by an electric vehicle? Can you get electrocuted by an electric vehicle? Electric vehicle batteries can catch fire or explode when damaged, but would water make an electric car dangerous? Northeastern University professor Sanjeev Mukerjee is working to lower the cost of fuel cells to make gasoline-powered cars obsolete in the energy storage revolution Northeastern University professor Sanjeev Mukerjee is working to lower the cost of fuel cells to make gasoline-powered cars obsolete in the energy storage revolution Distinguished Professor Sanjeev Mukerjee is developing technology to lower the cost of fuel cells for energy-efficient cars. Fuel-efficient cars are expensive. These researchers are trying to make them more affordable. Fuel-efficient cars are expensive. These researchers are trying to make them more affordable. Professor Sanjeev Mukerjee has received a $1 million grant to develop technology to lower the cost of fuel for energy-efficient cars. 3Qs: Tesla’s Powerwall for home energy storage 3Qs: Tesla’s Powerwall for home energy storage Professor Sanjeev Mukerjee, director of the Northeastern University Center for Renewable Energy Technology, says the new Powerwall lithium-ion battery is a good first foray into home energy storage but notes that the “ultimate solution” will require bringing down costs even further. Where to put all the energy Where to put all the energy Northeastern University convened experts from industry, government, and academia last week to discuss advancements in next-generation energy storage and battery technologies—both of which have major implications for global challenges in energy consumption, materials shortages, and climate change.
