Welcome to BEAMS Lab (Battery Engineering & Advanced Materials Science Lab). As global warming, environmental pollution, and depletion of fossil fuels are emerging as global issues, the significance of energy storage technology is rapidly increasing for efficient energy usage. Expansion of the application of the wireless electrical energy from small electronic devises to energy storage system or electric vehicles moves up the energy ubiquitous era in which the electrical energy can be used anywhere, anytime, without being constrained by time and space. At the same time, one of the recent biggest issues of unusual climate change or global warming accelerates the development of efficient energy storage system for carbon-neutral energy cycles. Those changes in energy and environmental technologies highly requests on the development of sustainable energy storage and conversion devices with high energy density. In response to the requests, we are mainly trying to design and discover advanced new energy materials. Based on the discovery of novel materials, we systematically study on the material characterization and finally apply the material to the fabrication of electrochemical devices to bridge the fundamental knowledge to the energy storage and conversion technologies. We are focusing on the defining the key question with "What" and "How" and solving the core issues in energy research fields. The lab, previously known as EMRL, moved from UNIST to Seoul National University (SNU). We are currently looking for motivated graduate students to join BEAMS.
