Applied Electrochemistry Laboratory

Making, measuring and observing electrochemical interfaces

The oxidation-reduction reaction, which is applied to devices such as batteries and sensors, occurs in a nanometer-thin layer (electrochemical interface) on the surface of an electrode surface. Therefore, it is important to control the interface structure and analyze its reactions to make devices smaller and function better. Our laboratory is using electrochemistry knowledge and measurement methods to analyze and solve problems in the existing reactions and interfaces, while designing and producing new electrochemical interfaces as well.
