Please join Yale Chemistry for an Inorganic/ Materials Chemistry Silliman Seminar with Kyoung-Shin Choi, Professor of Chemistry, from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Title: TBA
Kyoung-Shin Choi’s research focuses on design, synthesis, and characterization of semiconducting and metallic crystals and polycrystalline electrodes with controlled compositions and morphologies for use in electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices (e.g. photoelectrochemical cells, solar cells, and electrocatalysis). This research combines disciplines of inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, electrochemistry, solid state chemistry, and nano-scale science. The Choi Group develops new electrochemical synthetic strategies that can make a significant advancement in constructing polycrystalline electrode materials. They achieve this by combining compositionally versatile electrodeposition methods with various new synthetic concepts/techniques that can allow for morphological control at various length scales. The functional properties we currently investigate in conjunction with compositional and morphological variation include electrochemical, photoelectrochemical, and electrocatalytic properties. By pursuing an in-depth atomic level understanding of structure-composition-property relationships, the Choi Group attempts to bridge the gap between chemistry and materials engineering.
