The Center for Electrochemical Molecular Conversion (Director: Prof. Haesik Yang) aims to develop innovative molecular conversion technologies by harnessing renewable energy sources like electricity and light. The center comprises 11 researchers with diverse academic backgrounds, collaborating through a convergent approach involving electrochemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and computational chemistry.

Our research focuses specifically on chemically stable yet abundant molecules like nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Transforming these inert molecules into high-value organic compounds remains a paramount challenge in sustainable chemistry. To address this, the Center develops advanced electrochemical and photochemical catalyst systems, integrated with precise computational modeling to predict and control reaction pathways. Through these efforts, we aim to establish a technological foundation that addresses global energy and environmental challenges, paving the way toward a sustainable chemical industry and society.
