Meeting the ever increasing energy demands of humanity in a sustainable and renewable manner is perhaps the greatest challenge facing us today. Batteries and renewable energy sources have a critical role to play in addressing this challenge. IIT Hyderabad researchers have made several key contributions to battery and renewable energy technologies and are leading the way towards building a more sustainable model for energy generation and storage.
