ECMR Lab. is a Laboratory in the Materials Science & Engineering at Ajou University.
Our research is directed to engineering new, inexpensive, and solution-processable nanomaterials and implementing them into high performance energy storage/conversion & electrocatalytic devices. We are especially driven by the goal of inexpensive solar energy conversion. We focus on materials systems with sufficient earth abundance and environmental compatibility, and we employ techniques that are highly scalable and economically feasible. The approaches are multidisciplinary, involving expertise and knowledge in materials science, chemistry, physics, optoelectronics and electrochemistry.
우리 연구실은 용액 공정이 가능하며 경제적인 차세대 나노 소재를 설계하고, 이를 고성능 에너지 저장 및 변환, 전기화학 촉매 소자에 적용하는 연구를 수행하고 있습니다. 특히 고성능 태양에너지 변환 기술 실현을 핵심 목표로 삼고 있습니다.
우리는 지각 풍부도가 높아 수급이 원활하고 환경 친화적인 소재 시스템에 집중하며, 확장성이 뛰어나고 경제성이 확보된 공정 기술을 채택하고 있습니다. 재료공학, 화학, 물리학, 광전자공학, 전기화학을 아우르는 다학제적 접근을 통해 에너지/환경 문제 해결을 위한 최적의 소재 기술을 연구하고 있습니다.
