About

Dipan Kundu is a leading researcher in advanced energy storage, with a focus on lithium-sulfur (Li-S) and multivalent battery technologies. His most impactful work addresses the critical challenge of polysulfide shuttling in Li-S batteries, a key barrier to practical high-energy-density systems. In his highly cited 2018 study, Kundu introduced lightweight metallic MgB₂ as a catalytic mediator for polysulfide redox, demonstrating a novel approach to stabilize sulfur cathodes and enhance battery performance. This work, with over 314 citations, has significantly influenced the design of efficient, long-life Li-S batteries. Beyond this, Kundu has made notable contributions to understanding the electrochemistry of magnesium and calcium anodes, pushing the boundaries of post-lithium battery chemistries. His research combines fundamental mechanistic insights with materials innovation, earning him recognition as a rising leader in the field. With a publication record that continues to shape next-generation energy storage, Kundu’s work is essential reading for researchers seeking to overcome the limitations of conventional lithium-ion systems and unlock safer, higher-capacity alternatives.
