The IRC-Construction and Building Materials at KFUPM is pleased to welcome Dr. Muhammad Fayaz as a Post-Doctoral Fellow. He received his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Hainan University, China, in 2024. His research specializes in the rational design, synthesis, and characterization of next-generation electroactive materials for supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries.

Dr. Fayaz’s expertise lies in advanced electrochemical energy storage systems, with a particular emphasis on the development of high-performance electrode materials. His work includes metal oxides, metal hydroxides, porous carbon, modified carbon materials, and Prussian Blue Analogues (PBAs), along with their derived hybrid structures. He focuses on core–shell architectures, doped PBAs, and polynary hybrid systems to improve electrical conductivity, redox activity, ion transport, and cycling stability. His research has led to advancements in electrode design and the development of hybrid PBA materials, resulting in supercapacitor systems with enhanced specific capacitance, energy density, rate capability, and long-term performance.

At IRC-Construction and Building Materials, Dr. Fayaz continues to contribute to the development of sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective energy storage technologies that address the growing demand for clean and reliable power solutions.

We warmly welcome Dr. Muhammad Fayaz and look forward to his valuable contributions to energy materials research at IRC-Construction and Building Materials, KFUPM.
