Seminar on new energy industry explores nano materials and EV batteries

First BK21-BRL joint seminar on new energy industry held

Jeju National University Innovative Talent Incubation Center for New Energy Industrial Advancement, an implementer of the nation’s Brain Korea (BK) 21 program in Phase 4, and the university’s Self-Powered Sensors and Systems Lab held a joint seminar on Wednesday (Oct. 6).

The seminar was named the 1st Jeju National University BK21-BRL Joint Seminar on the New Energy Industry and attended by some 40 professors and postgraduate students participating in the BK21 program.

The researchers gathered with the aim of exploring the development directions for research on triboelectric nano materials and electric-vehicle batteries.

During the seminar, Kim Jae Hyun, professor at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology, introduced the participants to his research topic of lithium-ion batteries and solid electrolyte.

Kim Sang-woo, a Sungkyunkwan University chair professor, gave the next speech titled “Triboelectric nano generators: Energy harvest and delivery for self-powered electronic devices’.

Jeju National University’s Self-Powered Sensors and Systems Lab works to develop ultra-small sensors and systems that can supply power through nano generators. This involves the designing and development of nano generators, energy conversion and storage devices, sensors, and memory devices.

The school’s Innovative Talent Incubation Center for New Energy Industrial Advancement consists of 26 full-time professors and research professionals, as well as 56 MSc and PhD candidates. The center is committed to the incubation of talented individuals in the new energy industry during its project period which spans from 2020 to 2027.
