Mobinul Islam is currently serving as an assistant professor at the Department of Energy and Materials Engineering in Dongguk University, Republic of Korea. He has a master’s degree from the Korea National University of Transportation and a Ph.D. from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) under the University of Science and Technology (UST). His current research focuses on the anionic redox reaction behavior of Na-ion battery cathode materials, including the synthesis and mechanistic insights of other sodium storage cathode materials. His expertise in synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and ex situ TEM techniques is suited to investigating the reaction mechanisms of electrode materials. Alloy and conversion-based anode materials for lithium- and sodium-ion batteries are two of his areas of expertise. As part of his work, he developed a carbon-coated LiFePO4 cathode from industrial waste liquid. Additionally, he is interested in exploring other areas for future research, such as ALD coating on high-nickel NCM cathode, lithium metal anode, phosphorus-based anode, and cation disordered rocksalt-type cathode for Na-ion batteries.
