• Electrochemical Catalysts & Interfaces

Electrochemistry is located at the crossroad of many disciplines. We mainly focus on electrochemical energy conversion/storage, biosensors, and fundamental investigation of electrochemistry world. We develop electrochemical catalysts and see how materials behave electrochemically. In addition, we are interested in catalyst-electrolyte interfaces which can modulate the catalytic activity.

• Energy Materials

One of the key applications of electrochemistry is energy conversion and storage that are important for future sustainability. We study various reactions such as water electrolysis, oxygen reduction, carbon dioxide reduction, and electro-hydrogenation with developed energy-materials. We develop catalysts for these reactions with elaborating their electrochemical and physical characteristics.

• Biosensors

Electrochemical biosensors convert signals by biomolecules to electrical signals, which is promising area in the field of clinical diagnosis or environmental monitoring. We aim for development of user-friendly and cost-effective biosensors using various electrode materials and detection techniques.
