Profile
Our mission is to resolve energy- & environment-related problems for the realization of sustainable development and emerging markets. The underpinning strategy is to control the multiscale structure and chemistry of various nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube, graphene and 2D nano sheet for applications into energy conversion and storage devices (e.g. lithium ion battery, supercapacitor and fuel cell) and environmental systems (e.g. capture of greenhouse gases and water treatment). Moreover, we are pursuing a fundamental understanding of physical and/or chemical phenomenon occurring in chemical and/ or electrochemical devices or systems on a nanoscale for the design of advanced energy materials and the development of functional devices. We have been actively collaborating with prestigious and specialized research groups at MIT, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Brookhaven National Laboratory, University of Wollongong, Tsinghua University, and Pohang Accelerator Laboratory.
