Rate My Professor Moumita Rana

Moumita Rana is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science at Delft University of Technology. She is affiliated with the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy within the Photovoltaic Materials and Devices group. Her expertise spans electrochemistry, solid-state chemistry, surface chemistry, material synthesis, solids, hybrids, anodes, membranes, all-solid-state batteries, self-assembled monolayers, perovskite solar cells, and photovoltaic materials. Rana's research focuses on energy storage solutions, including solid-state batteries and lithium-ion battery technologies, contributing to sustainable energy advancements through innovative materials and device architectures.

Rana completed her PhD in 2018 under the supervision of Dr. Ujjal K. Gautam at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali. She subsequently held a postdoctoral position at IMDEA Materials Institute and was awarded the Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdocs in 2021, conducting research at the University of Münster hosted by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang G. Zeier. Her scholarly impact is evidenced by over 1,035 citations on Google Scholar. Key publications include 'Unravelling composition and mass-loading effects in monolithic non-stoichiometric silicon nitride anodes for lithium-ion batteries' (2026), 'Attaining a fast-conducting, hybrid solid state separator for all-solid-state batteries through a facile wet infiltration method' (2025), 'Understanding the Principles of Co-deposition of Mixed-SAMs in MAPbI3-Based p-i-n Structure Perovskite Solar Cells' (2025, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces), and 'A Techno-Economical Assessment for Decentralized Autonomous Green Methanol Production' (2025). At TU Delft, she leads projects such as the Seed Fund-supported RESCUE initiative for recycling silicon from end-of-life solar cells into high-performance solid-state batteries and supervises PhD research on silicon-based electrodes for lithium-ion batteries with interphase engineering. She has delivered seminars on charge carrier transport and microstructure influences in solid-state battery performance.
