Mumbai University's Department of Physics is emerging as a leading centre for green hydrogen, energy storage and clean energy research. Its Advanced Materials and Energy Research Laboratory has published 45 papers since 2025, forged global collaborations and developed low-cost energy materials, supporting India's National Green Hydrogen Mission and sustainable energy goals.

Mumbai: Mumbai University's Department of Physics has made significant strides in green hydrogen production, energy storage and clean energy technologies, with its Advanced Materials and Energy Research Laboratory emerging as a leading centre for cutting-edge research in the field.

The laboratory has gained national and international recognition for its work on green hydrogen generation, advanced supercapacitors and the development of high-performance materials for energy conversion and storage. According to the university, the laboratory published 25 research papers in 2025 and has already published 20 papers so far in 2026, taking its total number of publications in reputed international journals to 155.

As countries across the world seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, address climate change and cut dependence on fossil fuels, green hydrogen and advanced energy storage technologies are increasingly being viewed as key pillars of the future energy landscape.

Led by Dr Pradeep B. Sarawade, the Advanced Materials and Energy Research Laboratory is undertaking research in electrocatalytic water splitting for green hydrogen production, high-performance supercapacitors, heterostructure engineering, biomass-based nanomaterials, defect engineering and computational materials science.
