Redox and Electrochemistry Advancing Clean Technologies (REACT) LAB

증가하는 인구, 환경오염, 자원고갈 등 광범위한 인류의 활동에 있어서 전기화(Electrification)는 지속가능과 탄소중립을 향한 한 발자국이 될 수 있습니다. 저희 연구실에서는 화석연료 기반의 기술을 재생 에너지 유래의 전기 에너지 기반의 기술로 탈바꿈함으로써 도시와 환경에서 필수적인 여러 프로세스들이 전기화학적으로 구동될 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하고 있습니다. 특별히 자원회수, 환경복원, 에너지 저장 등 인류가 직면한 여러 문제들을 전기화학적 분리기술과 반응기술로 정의하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 재료설계, 시스템 엔지니어링 등 다양한 스케일의 연구를 포괄적으로 수행하고 있습니다.
Electrification could be a step toward carbon-neutrality in urban activities, including environmental remediation, resource recovery, and energy storage. By replacing fossil fuels with green and renewable energy, REACT Lab intends to investigate ways to electrify separations and conversions for urban and environmental processes. In particular, we aim to design materials from molecular level and establish electrochemical engineering principles for delicate process-level design, contributing to address challenges in environment, resource recovery from liquid- and gas-phase waste streams, nitrogen/sulfur cycling, water remediation, and energy storage, all enabled by electrified reaction and separation.
