Background

About Durai Samy

Electrolyte Scientist | Formation Engineer | Anode Specialist - Material | Battery Degradation Analyst | Ph.D. in Chemistry | Python for Electrochemical Data I am a lithium-ion battery scientist with cross-functional expertise in electrolyte formulation, formation protocol engineering, and anode material optimization, with a strong foundation in organic/inorganic synthesis and analytical chemistry. Currently at InoBat, Slovakia, I focus on the design and validation of advanced electrolyte systems and formation strategies for coin cells, and pouch cells. My work includes in-depth characterization of electrolyte performance and degradation mechanisms using techniques such as GC-MS, ICP-OES, Karl Fischer titration, viscosity/density measurements, and XPS. I also leverage Python programming to process and analyze electrochemical data, including formation, cycling performance, and degradation behavior across various cell formats. This enables faster root cause analysis and performance optimization. Previously at Ola Electric, I contributed to the development of next-gen 4680 cells, optimizing both dry and wet electrode systems, improving SEI formation, and supporting electrode/electrolyte compatibility studies. Academic Credentials: Ph.D. in Chemistry – Pondicherry University MTech in Green Energy Technology Integrated MSc in Chemistry Passionate about sustainable energy innovation, I’m open to global R&D roles, advanced battery material collaborations, and technology partnerships in the EV and energy storage space.
