Indian Solid State Ionics Society
About the Society
The Indian Solid State Ionics Society is the brainchild of the visionary Late Prof. Suresh Chandra, who is known as the Father of Solid State Ionics in India.​
The Society was established in 1993 with its headquarters in Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. Prof. Chandra, with his extensive knowledge in the field of Solid State Ionics, could foresee the importance of this emerging area in the coming decades. He, therefore, planned to bring together the Indian researchers from all parts of the country who were working in the broad areas of
-
Polymer Electrolytes and their Composites
-
Polycrystalline solids, Glasses and Gels
-
Electrodes Materials
-
Ion conducting devices – Batteries, Supercapacitors, Memristors, and Sensors
-
Modelling and Simulations
The last few decades have seen exponential growth in these areas and Indian scientists have been significantly contributing to the development of these areas. The Society is run by a well-structured Executive Council which is chosen by-election. It also organizes the National Conference(s) on Solid State Ionics biennially in different parts of the country. The Society sponsors conferences give awards to talented young scientists and facilitate interaction and collaborations amongst its members.​​​
You are welcome to join the Indian Society for Solid State Ionics.
Message from President of Indian Solid State Ionic Society
"Having been a member of the Indian Solid State Ionics Society since its inception in 1993 at Banaras Hindu University and being witness to its continuous growth through the extensive work of the Solid State Ionics community in India, has been a matter of great pride and satisfaction for me. From a minuscule number of researchers and laboratories working in this field more than thirty years ago, it is now so widely spread that no part of the country remains untouched. Researchers have/are extensively worked/working on both materials and device(s) aspect of ion conducting materials. Contribution to the theoretical and modeling aspects of these materials is also gathering momentum. I hope it will continue to flourish and have an active role in the cause of science and nation building."
