Central Electrochemical Research institute (CECRI) established in the year 1953, is one of the biggest research institutes devoted for research and development in electrochemical science and technology and it is situated at the southern part of India. (http://www.cecri.res.in/). R&D activities covering all aspects of electrochemical science and technology like Corrosion Science and Engineering, Electrochemical Materials Science, Functional Materials and Nanoscale Electrochemistry, Electrochemical Power Sources, Electrochemical Pollution Control, Electrochemicals, Electrodics and Electrocatalysis, Electrometallurgy, Industrial Metal Finishing, and Computer Networking and Instrumentation are being pursued in the institute. The Electrodics and Electrocatalysis department of CECRI is engaged in research areas like modified electrodes for electrocatalysis and sensing applications, preparation of catalytic nanomaterials, Biofuel cells, Biosensors and modeling and simulation of electrochemical processes.
Sheela Berchmans et al. from the Electrodics and Electocatalysis group of CECRI are engaged in research activities related to microbial fuel cells like development of laboratory prototype of MFCs, development of bioreactors for simultaneous current generation and waste water treatment, preparation of catalytic nanomaterials, modified electrodes for anodes and cathodes of MFCs, screening microorganisms for direct electron transfer etc. This research project is funded by Ministry of new and renewable energy (MNRE), India.
