In the spring 2025-2026 semester, the Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering launched weekly doctoral research seminars with the participation of doctoral students, young scientists, and associate professors and research professors from the faculty.

On March 13, 2026, at 3:00 PM in room 119, third-year doctoral student Serik Erkin held a seminar on his dissertation, "Development of a Battery State Evaluation Model Based on Thermodynamic Parameters."

During the seminar, the doctoral student presented the main results and current progress of his research, which focused on developing a model for assessing the state of lithium-ion batteries based on thermodynamic parameters. Particular attention was paid to the analysis of entropy profiles of batteries and their application to diagnosing their state.

The presentation discussed methods for experimentally determining entropy, including potentiometric approaches, as well as issues related to data interpretation. Preliminary results were presented, demonstrating the sensitivity of the entropy profile to changes in the internal structure and chemical composition of batteries.

Workshop participants actively participated in the discussion, asking questions about the practical applicability of the proposed model, the potential for scaling the method, and integration with modern battery monitoring systems. During the discussion, comments were made regarding a more in-depth study of the thermodynamic aspects of the study, and the involvement of specialists in physical chemistry was recommended to clarify the interpretation of the obtained results.

The workshop resulted in valuable recommendations from the faculty, which will be taken into account in future work on the dissertation. The event confirmed the high scientific interest in the research topic and the importance of developing interdisciplinary approaches in energy technologies.
