Lab Overview
Kim Research Group is engaged in interdisciplinary research activities on Carbon Nanomaterials and Catalysts, interfacing with chemical engineering and materials sciences, spanning nanoelectronics, renewable energy and biological applications.
Our group has made advances to surface engineering of carbon nanotubes to tailor their electronic structures and applied this engineering technique to industrially scalable carbon nanotube separation.
Our past research has focused on the basic science and technology development of novel carbon based nanomaterials. Our future research focuses on the application of novel carbon based nano-materials to flexible electric devices, high efficient solar
cells and bio-medical applications.
We also have been developing novel fuel cell catalysts using carbon nanotubes and reforming catalysts capable of producing hydrogen from various renewable energy sources (biomass, food waste) for fuel cells in preparation for the upcoming
hydrogen energy era.
