Talk Title: Co-substituted P2-Na0.67MnO2 and Purple Basil-Derived Hard Carbon for High- Performance Sodium-Ion Battery Full Cells: Insight to Ex-situ Structural Analysis
Dr. Rawdah Whba finished her PhD program at the School of Chemical Sciences, Faculty of Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) under the Yemeni government and Islamic Development Bank scholarship in 2022. Currently she works as the Assistant Professor at Chemistry Department, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Taiz University, Yemen, and also is a postdoctoral researcher at İnönü University, Malatya, Türkiye, where she is involved in the Na-Ion Batteries Project, focusing on the development of high-performance full-cell production and performance analysis through pre-sodiation processes. Her research interests in polymer chemistry and physical chemistry (electrochemistry) cover the synthesis of polymers and grafted polymers, the preparation of thin film membranes and electrodes, and characterization of physicochemical, thermomechanical, and electrochemical analyses for synthesized materials and energy storage devices (solid-state lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors). She has published 16 scientific papers in high-quality journals and some book chapters. Furthermore, she has received a lot of distinctions and appreciation certificates. She has been selected and voted to be one of the members to represent the syndicate of Taiz University staff in Yemen from 2014 till now. She is the member of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE), and also serves as the reviewer for some journals and book chapters.
