Luminescent nanomaterials research group (Dr. Jang group) is interested in developing novel upconversion /downconversion nanomaterials with high quantum efficiency for application to optoelectronic devices such as LEDs and solar cells and bio-medical field. Currently, we focus on upconversion nanophosphors which convert low energy photons into high energy photons and Cd-free quantum dots. We are also interested in photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting. We hope that we can study together with creative students who are interested in nanomaterials and devices. Please feel free to contact the group leader (Dr. Ho Seong Jang, msekorea@kist.re.kr) to get more information.
