Electrochemical conversion has emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to thermally driven processes in response to the global climate crisis, particularly global warming. We focuses on the electrochemical conversion of CO₂ and nitrogen. We are primarily working on catalyst design using metal oxides, perovskites, and single-atom catalysts, as well as cell design targeting systems such as MEAs, Hybrid and GDE-type cells. We are currently centered on electrochemical urea production and are preparing to expand toward the synthesis of more valuable products. Also, we are utilizing DFT calculations for computational verification and high-throughput screening of catalysts.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging electrochemical water treatment technology that removes dissolved ions from water using a low-voltage electric field. CDI offers several advantages: high energy efficiency, simple operation, easy scalability, and the possibility of selective ion removal by tuning electrode properties. The fundamental principle of CDI involves the adsorption of cations and anions onto oppositely charged porous electrodes-typically carbon-based materials-when voltage is applied. As a promising alternative to conventional desalination techniques, CDI opens up new opportunities for sustainable and flexible water treatment in both developed and resource-limited regions.
