■ Research objective
Our main interests are triboelectric energy harvesting for human-oriented applications. Our group specializes in the design and synthesis of high-quality triboelectric materials through experiments and simulations. We develop energy solutions for wearable/implantable medical devices and pathogen control. Our lab collaborates with Prof. Byung-Ok Choi (School of Medicine, SKKU) for medical applications. We greatly welcome applications from enthusiastic, highly motivated students and postdocs. ■ Research interests 1)Material design for triboelectricity We seek to understand and exploit interesting characteristics of triboelectricity which is a phenomenon induced by contact in the heterogeneous interfaces. Our aim is to design high-quality triboelectric material for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) by controlling the surface charge density. We changed the work function, permittivity, and electron trap state of materials to control the surface charge density. Also, we try to investigate the driving force of triboelectricity that can maximize surface charge density by computational methods (density functional theory, molecular dynamics, machine learning). 2)Triboelectric energy harvesting for powering implantable medical devices Replacing implantable medical devices (IMDs) is essential for their continuous operation, for which surgery is inevitable. To solve the inherent problem of IMDs, a reasonable energy solution must be presented. Ultrasound (US)-driven triboelectric energy harvesting, presented by our group, is a novel energy transfer technology that can deliver energy to the deep tissue of the human body and charges the battery of the IMDs. We recharged the lithium-ion battery in water and checked the output under porcine tissue (Science, 365, 491-494 (2019)). 3)Triboelectrification-induced pathogen control technology Recently, severe social and economic losses have occurred due to the spread of fatal infectious diseases (SARS, MERS, swine flu, COVID-19, etc.). However, the development of vaccine takes enormous cost and time. We develop preemptive infection prevention technology, “triboelectrification-induced pathogen control.” By trapping, repulsing, and inactivating the pathogens based on triboelectricity, our technology can be applied for protective clothing and cleaning water. ■ Contact kimsw1@skku.edu |
