Research Interests

In the 21st century, the world
faces more serious problems than ever before with food (F), energy (E),
environment (E), and disease (D), FEED. To solve these fundamental problems of
mankind, our group conducts research on light. Light, in particular, can be
applied in a variety of ways as one of nature's mechanisms for transporting
energy and information from one place to another with wavelengths and
frequencies.  Thus, understanding how light can be efficiently absorbed
and converted into a useful form of energy can provide a fundamental
understanding of how Photosensitizer can be designed to use and control light
more effectively. Based on
this, we have researched on thiophene or metal (Ir and Pt) complex based
photosensitizers toward energy harvesting (dye-sensitized solar cells, polymer
solar cells, and perovskite solar cells), photo rechargeable battery system for
energy recycling, and photodynamic therapy through controlling wavelength and
frequency of photosensitizer. Especially, we are on the way to develop
non-invasive next-generation cancer treatment platform in hypoxia
conditions. In
addition, new ultrasonic chemistry was developed by utilizing ultrasonic
spray characteristics that can artificially control the wavelength and
frequency. By the using of ultrasound effect that releases enormous energy
when the vacuum bubble collapses, we easily developed hetero/multi-atom
doped carbon-based materials (graphene, carbon nanotube and etc.) and
conjugated microporous polymer materials for energy storage (super
capacitor and battery electrode) and catalyst (CO2 reduction
catalyst and ammonia synthetic catalyst for ammonia production at room
temperature and pressure). 









Therefore, we firmly believe that our
group research topics (FEED) contribute to sustainable goals such as food (F),
energy (E), environment (E), and disease (D) adopted by the United Nations,
thereby nourishing our society while contributing to achieving a better and
supportable future for all of us.
