January 27, 2025

Dr. Nilesh Chodankar Joins Journal of Energy Storage and Carbon Letters Editorial Board

 

Khalifa University Research Scientist Dr. Nilesh R. Chodankar, has been appointed as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Energy Storage and Carbon Letters, highlighting his extensive contributions to the field of energy storage systems and sustainable energy solutions.

 

The Journal of Energy Storage, a leading platform with an impact factor of 8.9, focuses on systems integration, electric grid management, novel technologies, and global developments in energy storage. In his new role, Dr. Chodankar will manage manuscripts related to supercapacitors and batteries.

 

In parallel, Carbon Letters is renowned for its comprehensive coverage of carbon materials and carbon-rich molecules, featuring research on various forms of carbon, their secondary production, and the development of new composite materials. Dr. Chodankar will serve a two-year term as an Associate Editor for Carbon Letters.

 

Dr. Chodankar’s research is focused on the design and synthesis of functional materials, innovation of devices for electrochemical energy storage and conversion applications, including next-generation aqueous storage systems, supercapacitors, electrocatalysts (water splitting), to generate best-in-class performance and compete with expensive technologies/commercial materials for real-world applications. In addition, he is focused on the design and development of different biocompatible materials for implantable and safe energy storage systems for advanced implantable electronic medical devices.

 

With over 110 high-ranking peer-reviewed publications and more than 7,770 (Google Scholar) citations, Dr. Chodankar also holds two patents filed in Korea and the US on aqueous energy storage systems.

Dr. Chodankar said: “Joining such prestigious journals is a privilege and an incredible opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers and thought leaders. I look forward to engaging with groundbreaking ideas that will enhance the energy storage landscape and support the global energy transition. It is a true honor to contribute to sustainable energy solutions and the meaningful work at Khalifa University.”
