The Jang's group develops photo-electrochemical devices for critical issues in energy and environmental field. Currently, the group is interested in three major research topics : 1) Nanostructured materials for energy/environmental applications, 2) sustainable fuels/value added chemicals production via electrochemical or photoelectrochemical approach, and 3) in-situ/operando structural characterization for proposing catalytic mechanisms.
Left figure represents major applications in Jang's group.
The group is mainly focusing on sustainable fuels and value-added chemicals production from abundant sources, such as water, CO2, N2,etc using solar energy and electricity. The generated product, for example H2, CxHyOz, NH3, via photo-electrochemical approaches, can be stored and transported.
Also, we the group is interested in electricity generation using produced fuels in fuel cell.
Our ultimate goal is to develop overall energy conversion cycle including fuel production, storage, transportation, and utilization.
