Air Pollutant and Greenhouse Gas Control

TOPIC 01/ 03

Air Pollutant and Greenhouse Gas Control

We design catalysts and catalytic processes that remove harmful air pollutants from stationary and mobile emission sources, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions at the same time.

Our work spans from the atomic structure of active sites to reactor-scale performance under real exhaust conditions.

Key Research Areas

  • Low-temperature NH3-SCR catalysts for NOx removal
  • Zeolite-based catalysts for N2O decomposition and abatement
  • Catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO
  • Durability against sulfur, water and hydrothermal aging
  • test용 추가
Carbon Utilization and Hydrogen Production

TOPIC 02/ 03

Carbon Utilization and Hydrogen Production

We turn greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4 into useful feedstocks. Our research focuses on catalysts and reaction engineering that convert these stable molecules into fuels and chemicals with high selectivity.

Key Research Areas

  • CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, olefins and liquid fuels
  • Dry and bi-reforming of methane to syngas
  • Direct conversion of methane to value-added chemicals
  • Structure–activity relationships from in-situ spectroscopy
Electrically Assisted Catalysis

TOPIC 03/ 03

Electrically Assisted Catalysis

We replace the heat from fossil-fuel combustion with renewable electricity. By heating catalysts directly with electricity, we aim for faster, cleaner and more compact chemical reactors.

Key Research Areas

  • Joule-heated and induction-heated catalytic reactors
  • Electrified reforming and CO2 conversion
  • Rapid, dynamic operation coupled with renewable power
  • Reactor design for energy-efficient heat delivery
