Topic：Catalysts/Systems for CO2 Reduction and Water Electrolysis
Soo Young Kim is a professor in the department of Materials Science and Engineering in Korea University. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph. D. degrees in materials science and engineering from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, South Korea, in 2001, 2003, and 2007, respectively. During his post-doctoral period in Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, he focused on converting graphene oxide to graphene using thermo-chemical nanolithography technique. After starting assistant professor in 2009, he has been interested in the modulation of the properties of two-dimensional materials such as graphene, graphene oxide, transition metal dichalcogenides, and their applications. He combined his experience about optoelectronic devices with two-dimensional materials so that his research is focused on the optimization of two-dimensional materials’ properties and their application to energy devices. During the sabbatical year as a visiting professor at University of Chicago in 2015, he learned the synthesis of nano particles based on metal sulfides, organic perovskite materials, and inorganic perovskite materials. Nowadays, his laboratory is composed of two groups. One group is focusing on organic based semiconductors such as organic light emitting diodes, perovskite light emitting diodes, perovskite solar cells, and perovskite memories. The other group is focusing on the synthesis of two-dimensional materials and its application to hydrogen evolution reaction and CO2 reduction. He has produced more than 390 publications and H-index is 78 (google scholar).
Abstract: In this talk, we will think about catalysts and system for CO2 reduction and water electrolysis. Two dimensional covalent organic frameworks will be considered as eco-friendly catalysts for electrochemical processes to promote sustainability and scalability by utilizing them in the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, oxygen reduction reaction, and carbon dioxide reduction reaction. For the C2+ product in CO2 reduction, Cu-based catalyst designs will be discussed, including defect engineering, surface modification, nanostructure engineering, and tandem catalysis. For water electrolysis, we will examine the fundamental principles of anion exchange membrane water electrolysis, including its cell components, reaction mechanisms, and various in situ characterization methods. With these contents, our recently published works also will be shared with the audiences.
