Mahander Pratap Singh

Dr. Mahander Pratap Singh is a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials, based in Düsseldorf, Germany, within the Department of Microstructure Physics and Alloy Design. His research focuses on advanced materials science, particularly in battery degradation mechanisms, high-temperature corrosion of alloys, and alloy synthesis. He employs cutting-edge techniques like atom probe tomography (APT) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study microstructural evolution and material properties.

Key research interests include the degradation behavior of Li- and Na-ion batteries, oxidation processes in metallic alloys, and designing novel Co-Ni-based superalloys with enhanced mechanical properties. His work bridges fundamental materials science with applied technologies, such as improving solid-state battery performance and developing lightweight high-temperature alloys for energy systems.

Recent studies highlight advancements in cryogenic sample preparation for APT analysis, in-situ metallic coatings for microscopy, and understanding grain boundary effects in battery materials. Singh’s contributions advance both theoretical understanding and practical applications in energy storage and materials engineering.
