  I am mainly working on carbon based materials.This include activated carbon (this is the carbon you find in water filters and they are made of coconut shells!), graphene, carbon nanotubes etc. I also research on metal oxides. These materials help you to store energy in energy storage devices, such as batteries and supercapacitors, until you need to use that energy.
