My research focuses on advancing materials science for sustainable energy storage systems, integrating innovative 2D materials and advanced adsorption technologies. Through first-principles calculations of properties such as electronic and magnetic characteristics in transition metal-doped monolayers of Möbius graphene (MoS₂), I investigated the unique electronic and magnetic behaviors that enable novel heat energy storage solutions. My work also emphasizes the practical application of these materials in environmental remediation, particularly through adsorption processes like zeolite-based removal of ammonium ions from water samples affected by mining activities in Ghana. Additionally, I explored the fabrication of high-capacitive materials using Zeolite A synthesized from wassa kaolin for thermal energy storage and hybrid systems combining adsorption heat pumps with heat engines. On a broader scale, my research extends to optimizing material recovery and lifecycle management in spent lithium-ion batteries using AI-based technologies, further enhancing their energy density and safety standards.
