Rate My Professor Ditty Dixon

Dr. Ditty Dixon is an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical Sciences at Mahatma Gandhi University, Priyadarsini Hills P.O., Kottayam 686560, Kerala, India. She also serves as Associate Joint Director of the School of Energy Materials and Admission Nodal Officer for the Graduate School at the university. Dixon holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Technische Universität Karlsruhe, Germany. Her research centers on materials for energy storage and conversion, with specific focus on metal-air batteries (Zn/Al/Fe), metal-ion batteries (Na/Al/Zn), fuel cells, supercapacitors, and redox flow batteries. She utilizes operando characterization for materials development and electrochemical performance enhancement.

Prior to her current positions, Dr. Dixon was awarded the Ramanujan Fellowship in 2018 at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, where she conducted post-doctoral research at the Institute for Applied Materials. She previously served as a Fellow in the Electrochemical Power Sources Division at Central Electrochemical Research Institute (CECRI), Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, India. Key publications include 'Sodium vanadium titanium phosphate electrode for symmetric sodium-ion full batteries' (Nature Communications, 2017); 'Insights into the Redox Chemistry and Structural Evolution of a High-Energy Li-/Mn-Rich Layered Oxide Cathode' (Chemistry of Materials, 2025); 'Unveiling the Electrochemical Mechanism of High-Capacity Cathode Material Na2FePO4F for Sodium-Ion Batteries' (ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2022); 'Biphasic layered transition metal oxides as positive electrodes for sodium-ion batteries' (Journal of Energy Storage, 2025); 'Challenges of Commercialisation of All Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB) Technology' (Journal of Electrochemical Science and Industry, 2025); and 'Electrochemical characteristics of cerium oxalate derived CeO2 nanoparticles' (Physica Scripta, 2025). Dr. Dixon has delivered expert lectures, including on 'Materials for beyond Li-ion batteries' at the School of Nano Science and Technology, NIT Calicut (April 2024), and served as an invited speaker at National Science Day 2026 at Mahatma Gandhi University. She guides Ph.D. research in Chemistry at MGU.
