Single Atom Catalyst for Various Applications

Improving the efficiency of energy storage and conversion has been essential for various environmental issues. Supercapacitors and batteries are two popular energy storage devices, which commonly store electricity in the form of electrochemical energy. Also, conversion of source energy to another form is key technology for minimizing energy loss during catalytic reactions. Since first discovery of single-atom catalyst by our research group, we are developing various carbon based materials and proper nanostructures to enhance currently available device performance. Moreover, we are exploiting various strategies such as introducing various nanomaterials or chemical modification into carbon matrix for additional electrochemical or bio-medical activity
