Neul's great effort made a great job. His research paper will be published soon in Nature Communications. We are really proud of his achievement. As well as, we expect that our team continuously creates insightful works.

NOEL's key members (Jaemin, Jisu, Minjae, Youngeun) had attended 2026 MRS Spring meeting which held April 26–May 1 in Honolulu, Hawai‘i. MRS meeting and exhibition is one of the biggest conference about materials science and engineering. They presented their research works through poster presentation sessions, and also joining interesting sessions. It was a great opportunity to meet up various researchers from academia, industry and government to exchange newest scientific pr

With a title of "H1N1 Viral RNA Detection via FEN1-assisted Isothermal Amplification based on a Three-Way Junction", a new article which professor Yang worked together has been published.

There was 2026 SIEST international forum held during April 20-21, 2026. Professor Yang invited as a speaker to talk about his recent research of carbon capturing. He presented about electro-chemically capturing of carbon, which is currently our team focused on! It was great time to share our works to scholars and students.

Newly Seonggeun's work has published on Energy Storage Materials , which titled " Microneedle-assisted non-destructive and scalable structural engineering for high-performance dry-processed thick electrodes". We acknowledge Soengguen's hard working for this performance. Congrats, Soengguen !!

All the members of NOEL had attended conference of Korea Energy Society (Apr. 15-17). Dr. Park, Minjae, Jisu, Yeongeun, Gawon, Minju presented their research in Poster sessions. And our leader, Professor Yang spoke about carbon capturing research in our Lab. It was very interesting to see other research topics in terms of Energy.

Our team celebrated birthday of Jisu and Yumin. Small cakes but big hearts. We are all happy to have these two members. Happy birthday and have a good day :)

Congratulations to Dr. Park for his work now available on SusMat. His conducted a research about " All-Inorganic Perovskite@SiO 2 Quantum Dots for Amplifying the Interfacial Electric Field on WO 3 Toward Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting". We proud of you, Dr. Park. We give you a big hand!

Dayeon's hard working is accepted to be published in Journal of Materials Chemistry A. She studied about " Precursor Chemistry Governing Morphology and Cation Disorder in AgBiS2 Solar Absorber for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting". We give a big hand to her efforts and result coming out. Team NOEL's progress will keep going :)

Sohui's hard works now presented online :) They published paper at International Journal of Precision Engineering and Manufacturing-Green Technology. The paper title is "Flashlight Irradiation To Concurrently Boost the Drying Efficiency and Electrochemical Performance of Graphite Composite Anodes". We are very proud of your efforts! Congrats again ! https://doi.org/10.1007/s40684-025-00840-y

Jisu and Dayeon had presented their research through poster presentation at 2026 KFPE spring meeting. And gladly, Jisu got an out standing award! We proud of you, Jisu. Your acievement! It was a nice opportunity to share our members research works to many researchers.

The 2026 InterBattery conference was held from 11. Mar - 13. Mar. This event talked about global trend of battery industry, challenges and growth paradigm. It was helpful to understand industrial transition and offered us valuable insights into commercialization process.

Ha Neul is now in Norway for a 6-month collaborative research program. He let us know he arrived safely and has already kicked off his new project! We hope he has a wonderful time and gains lots of great experiences during his stay. Best of luck, Ha Neul!

Congratulations! Haein and Dayeon finally wrapped up their M.S. degree at SKKU. Lab members shared touching letters full of love and appreciation, and the NOEL gifts were given to our graduates. We are incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved! Your passion has been an inspiration to us all. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter. Also, a special shoutout to Haneul, who has started a new adventure in Norway! We hope you have a safe and wonderful trip. As you star

Congratulations! Ha Neul's 2nd paper 'Simultaneous Engineering of Cation Disorder and Morphology of Molecular-ink Derived AgBiS2 Photocathodes for Solar Water Splitting' has been selected as a J Mat Chem A HOT article . Thank you for your hard work and keep going! DOI: 10.1039/D5TA07632C

It was a pleasure hosting Prof. Kaiying Wang from the University of South-Eastern Norway! We truly enjoyed his seminar on "Micro- and Nanofabrication Technologies for Energy and Environmental Applications". Looking forward to our continued friendship and future success!

Minjae attended CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the world's largest tech exhibition! He explored trends in AI, next-generation energy, and robotics. Also, he experience global business opportunities with SKKU Startup Booth. It was a valuable chance to see innovation in action!

We had our year-end party with our lab mates again this year. We played games and the winners got several gifts! We also looked back on the research achievements we made throughout the year, and spent some time encouraging and complimenting each other. 2025 NOEL Award were given to Minju, who really put in so much effort in 2025. Thank you so much for an amazing 2025, and let’s have another great year together in 2026! Happy New Year!

Congrats Dr. park and Junbeom for their paper on " Modulation of Electronic Structure in Kraft Lignin-Derived Mo Single-Atom Catalysts for Optimized Electrochemical Oxygen Reduction " published in Advanced Science! Thank you for your work and congrats again! https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202522273

Haein successfully completed her master's thesis defense! She presented her research on " Oxygen-Stable Atmospheric Electrochemical Co2 capture by Pseudo-Ring ". She did a great job during hier M.S course in SKKU! Thank you for your hard work!
