About Us
Welcome to the Smart Materials for Energy Lab at UNIST. Our dedicated research group focuses on the intersection of soft and low-dimensional materials, exploring the fundamentals while conducting applied studies in energy storage and flexible thin-film devices. Our expertise spans a variety of technologies, including alkali-ion batteries, metal-oxygen batteries, flexible memories, and solar cells. Utilizing cutting-edge techniques, we design and fabricate intelligent electronic devices, continually pushing the boundaries of new materials systems. Our investigations encompass both functional organic and inorganic materials. For further information, please do not hesitate to contact Professor Kang at sjkang@unist.ac.kr. We welcome inquiries and look forward to sharing more about our innovative research endeavors.
