Prof. Sung’s group (Photo and electrochemical energy laboratory) belongs to the school of chemical and biological engineering at Seoul national university. Prof. Sung has led various electrochemical energy related projects, including the Centre for Materials of Advanced Batteries established in 2005, which ran for 5 years under the support from Ministry of Knowledge Economy of Korea. Currently, there are 2 staff member, 18 PhD students and 10 master students. Main studies include the in situ analyses of the structure and the interface between electrode and electrolyte in lithium ion battery system. In addition, the group focuses on the design and the development of electrode materials for advanced battery system, which encompass lithium sulfur battery, lithium air battery, and sodium ion battery.
