Electrodeposition of transition metal-based catalysts

Electrodeposition method is a promising technology which is cheap and possible to fabricate various nanostructured films. The reaction can be precisely controlled in real-time, therefore, my research focuses on synthesis of various transition metal-based catalysts.  

Fabrication of Si-based heterojunction photoelectrodes

Silicon, which is earth-abundant and narrow bandgap material, is promising candidate for photoelectrode material. My research focuses on the synthesis of efficient oxygen-evolving catalysts on silicon surface to further improve the photoelectrochemical properties of Si photoanodes. 

Tandem device configuration for solar fuel generation

Tandem device is ultimate goal for the generating solar fuel spontaneously. Appropriate band configuration, light absorption, and stability is required to design high-performance tandem device for water splitting. My research focuses on development of tandem devices to achieve high solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiency.
