Energy Storage Group

Transforming the industrial waste into energy Storage Devices

---

The Energy storage group at SET center has emerged from the strategic collaboration between the College of science, college of engineering and SET center. Our mission is to make efficient use of the Kingdom’s industrial waste to produce high energy density electrochemical energy storage devices.

Our research efforts are mainly focused on the following two main themes;

• Design and synthesize the materials while establishing a balance between different material properties in order to achieve optimum results for energy storage devices.
• Develop and commercialize the prototype for high energy and power density based electrochemical energy storage devices.
