Our lab focuses on electrochemistry, energy storage, and advanced materials. It is led by Professor Doron Aurbach who founded the electrochemistry group at the university in 1985 and is ranked among the most cited researchers worldwide with over 900 published papers. Prof. Aurbach collaborates worldwide and leads the Israel National Research Center for Electrochemical Propulsion (INREP), which encompasses over 20 research groups from several institutions.
Emeritus Professor Doron Aurbach of the Department of Chemistry at Bar-Ilan heads the electrochemistry research group at the university and is the Director of the Energy Center at the Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials (BINA). Prof. Aurbach leads the Israel National Research Center for Electrochemical Propulsion (INREP), which includes over twenty research groups from leading academic institutions. Recently, he served as Chairman of the Israel National Labs Accreditation Authority (2010-2016) and is the recipient of the 2018 Eric and Sheila Samson Prime Minister's Prize for innovation in alternative fuels for transportation.

A meeting of the BIRD consortium was held in Israel. The consortium includes research groups and companies from Israel and the U.S. collaborating on the subject of "Lithium and Sodium Metal Solid State Batteries for Advanced Energy Storage Applications". In the framework of the BIRD consortium, Prof. Aurbach group develop lithium and sodium solid state cells. Thank you to the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation and Prof. Noked group (BIU) for organized the meeting.
