Synthesis of Organic, Inorganic, Polymer, and Carbon Materials
Design and Analysis of Electrochemical & Thermochemical Catalyst
Hydrogen Storage & Production
Carbon-based materials have been considered promising candidates for commercially available energy devices such as fuel cells, solar cells, water electrolyzers, etc.
I am searching for the best electrocatalysts in various energy devices with structure-controlled porous organic frameworks—the research deals with the development of catalysts, analysis of electrochemical behavior, and operational mechanisms.
Among the various electrochemical catalysts, I am focusing on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst for fuel cells and metal-air batteries, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) & oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst for eco-friendly hydrogen fuel production from water.
Current main projects:
-Water splitting for green hydrogen
-Water treatment using electrocatalysis
-Electrode design & catalyst coating technology
Carbon-based catalysts have attracted much attention for the reactions of organic molecules due to their rich active sites, high conversion efficiency, and selectivity.
A simple ball-milling-induced mechanochemical reaction that introduces metal and different functional groups (mostly stable aromatic C=O after heat treatment) along the edges of graphitic nanoplatelets.
Current main projects:
-Dry reforming of hydrocarbon
-Ammonia synthesis & decomposition
-CO2 hydrogenation
