Lab Introduction

나노전자재료 연구실(Nano Energy Materials Laboratory)에서는 기상공정(에어로졸) 및 액상공정을 바탕으로 차세대 이차 전지 소재 합성 및 분석에 관한 연구를 합니다. 특히, 분무 열분해, 분무 건조, 화염 분무 열분해 등의 간단한 기상 공정을 통해 다양한 나노 구조체 분말을 합성하여 차세대 전지의 소재에 적용시키는 것을 목표로 연구를 수행하고 있습니다. 대표적으로 탄소 복합 화합물, 다성분계 소재를 합성하고, 합성한 소재에 대한 전기화학 평가를 진행하여 차세대 전지 기술을 주도할 수 있는 연구를 지향합니다.
