Professor Hyuck Mo Lee's research lab specializes in the design and synthesis of advanced nanomaterials for sustainable energy applications, with a primary focus on electrocatalysts for water splitting and energy conversion. The lab develops core-shell nanostructures and doped transition metal (oxy)hydroxides to enhance catalytic activity, stability, and durability in electrochemical processes. Key research directions include the rational engineering of noble-metal-free catalysts, understanding surface segregation and oxidation mechanisms, and formulating functional inks for printable electronics. The lab combines advanced materials synthesis with in-depth characterization techniques such as XPS, APT, and electron microscopy to achieve structure-property relationships.

In this work, we synthesized uniform Cu-Ag core-shell nanoparticles using a facile two-step process that consists of thermal decomposition and galvanic displacement methods. The core-shell structure of these nanoparticles was confirmed through characterization using transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction. Furthermore, we investigated the oxidation stability of the Cu-Ag core-shell nanoparticles in detail. Both qualitative and quantitative x-ray ph
Layered cobalt (oxy)hydroxides have received much attention as cost-effective and efficient catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for electrochemical water splitting. Doping with guest cations possessing different oxidation states such as Ag can change the chemistry of conventional transition metal oxides and hydroxides, generating unexpected electrocatalytic performances. However, Ag dopants have been found to easily segregate at the surface of electrocatalysts, which induces deacti
