Vilas G. Pol's research focuses on batteries and energy storage materials, particularly lithium-ion, sodium-ion, potassium-ion, and magnesium battery systems. Recent work emphasizes making batteries safer and more effective under extreme temperatures (both very hot and very cold), developing new electrode materials (like doped carbon spheres and sodium vanadium phosphate cathodes), and designing improved electrolytes (including quasi-solid and garnet-polymer hybrid types). The group also investigates sustainability issues around battery materials.
