Welcome to Energy Storage & Conversion Laboratory (ESCL) at Kyungpook National University.
Our goal is to identify and design nanomanufacturing approaches for electrode materials; to investigate how nanostructured electrodes can improve the charge storage and conversion performances for energy devices; and use this understanding to promote research and education in the fields of nano- and energy-science and technology. Prof. Kim has made significant contributions to nanostructured electrodes for various electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems, including lithium rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, fuel-cells, and water-electrolyzers.

Prof. Kim’s research in these areas has already shown visible impacts on the development of cost-effective, high-performance, and multi-functional electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems. In particular, he has focused on the photoanode and cathode materials for photoelectrochemical water splitting, oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalyst for Zn or Na-air batteries, and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) & hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalyst for electrochemical water splitting with fundamental insight of catalytic origin investigated by in-situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in-situ X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), in-situ Raman and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation.
