Magnetism and material characterization laboratory conducts fundamental and applied researches on microstructure and properties in magnetic and steel materials. The researches of the magnetic materials are simply divided into two topics. One is the development of permanent magnet and soft magnetic materials which has excellent magnetic properties through the synthesis and analysis of magnetic powder. The other is the development of electromagnetic wave absorbent materials with the magnetic simulation in terms of intrinsic properties of material, shapes and arrangements, etc. The analysis of magnetic properties using VSM(Vibrating Sample Magnetometer) is based on the magnetic researches. Also, we control the microstructure using the electron microscopy because the magnetic properties are strongly dependent on material microstructure. The primary aim of research in steel materials is the understanding the mechanical properties using the electron microscope and looking for ways to improve the mechanical properties. Especially we analyze defects and the orientation relationship between the precipitate and matrix using TEM(Transmission Electron Microscopy) in steel materials. Furthermore, we investigate the inter-relationship between the grain orientation and material properties by EBSD(Electron backscatter diffraction) analysis.

Our research has mainly focused on fabrication of high efficiency, low cost energy harvesting devices. Main research fields are classified into three categories such as Nanostructured silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell, ultrathin crystalline silicon PV cell, and Photovoltaic-Thermoelectric (PV-TE) hybrid device. Especially, a high efficiency PV device (for converting solar light into electrical energy) and a TE device (for converting solar heat into electrical energy) have been researched based upon various nanostructures such as nanowires and nanoparticles. Ideally unifying these individual devices enables to develop high-efficiency (>23 %) energy conversion devices. First, nanostructured Si PV cell is one candidate to overcome the limit of conventional planar solar cells due to high light absorption and short diffusion length. Second, new-concepts such as plasmonic or quantum confinement effects have been studied to further enhancing light absorption of PV cells. For low power generation devices, flexible PV cell have been studied by embedding Si wire arrays in PDMS. We also perform metallization using wrap-around contact on three dimensional nanostructured PV cell to efficiently collect photocarriers. To further reduce module cost of PV cell, we develop the ultrathin crystalline Si PV cell using various kerf-less wafering methods. Prof. Jung-Ho Lee’s research group is now doing research on high efficiency low-cost PV devices that require creative ideas through active discussion.

We are interested in understanding of soft materials and their applications in various fields. Especially, topics of our research are on the lithium secondary batteries, functional microparticles, and polymeric membrane &films. Because of their high specific capacity and high power density, mobile electronic devices use lithium secondary batteries as an energy source for operation. Currently, they are expanding their applications to mid- and large-sized systems such as energy sources for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. There are continuous needs for improving lithium secondary batteries (ex. higher energy density, safety, fabrication cost reduction and so on). Thus it is of great importance to provide advanced materials and components in lithium secondary batteries.

The role of the Laboratory in multidisciplinary research has been focused on the development of green technologies for the production of biofuels, bioproducts, and other value added chemicals/foods/food additives from the various renewable feedstock, such as lignocellulosic biomass, algal biomass, and other organic wastes.

Our research is focused on the synthesis and massive application of noble inorganic nanocomposites. The research works involve the design and preparation of highly applicable nanohybrid functional materials and metallosupramolecular/coordination polymer materials, and improvement of characterization and analysis techniques. Our overarching goals are: (1) via high-throughput screening and systematic control of the nanostructure engineering to develop next-generation of highly active and durable nanocomposites with task-specific properties employed for “energy-catalyst technology”; (2) to establish fundamental understandings and clear relationships between atomic level surface properties of nanohybrids and their corresponding catalytic performances; (3) to advance the gained scientific understandings into knowledge-based material design to enable the enhancement of efficiency, robustness, and selectivity in the achieved nanomaterials.

- Multicompositional nanostructures such as multimetallic hybrid nanoparticles, multinary metal chalcogenide nanocrystals, porous inorganic oxide nanoparticles, and multicomponents metal-inorganic oxide core-shell nanohybrids feature high utility value in energy-catalyst technology, especially in photo/electrochemical process. Rational integration of these components can enable the creation of environmentally-sustainable hybrid nanomaterials with controllable composition, crystal orientation and beneficial defects. Such hybrid nanomaterials will be utilized for the fabrication of photo/electrochemical water hydrolysis devices with expectedly enhanced efficiency and durability. Particularly, alloying transition metals with noble metals is not only cost-effective but also provide a possibility of deliberate manipulation of the electronic properties of the nanoalloys and hence the electrocatalytic performance of the catalysts.

- Multifunctional hybrid nanocarriers with customized configurations can not only inherit characteristic properties of each individuals but also exhibit unique synergistic properties. Size-selective chemical catalysts and altered electronic structures of interfacial junctions within such nanocarriers are highly valuable as new multifunctional nanomaterials that differentiate them from existing materials.

- We are trying to develop and utilize metallosupramolecule-based, higher ordered, multilevel coordination-driven assemblies with hierarchy. Projected works in the research objectives involve the establishment of the concept of the formation process of multilevel assemblies, and prepare a library of metallosupramolecular structures by synthesizing a variety of supramolecular modules through the change of ligand structures and metal ions. New functional inorganic supramolecules are synthesized, and novel multilevel assemblies as discrete molecules or polymeric frameworks are studied in the formation mechanism and structural analyses. The assembly process of tertiary and higher orders is effectively controlled, and the applicability of multiple-assemblies is maximized. We are trying to establish the cornerstone as a new field of research in metallosupramolecular chemistry based on all research results.
