Professor Ji-Beom Yoo's research lab specializes in the design, synthesis, and application of advanced nanomaterials for energy and optoelectronic technologies. Key research directions include the development of graphene-based materials with tunable electronic properties, nanostructured semiconductors for high-efficiency solar cells, and hierarchical oxide nanostructures for photocatalysis. The lab focuses on innovative synthesis methods—such as one-step exfoliation, pyrolysis, and electrospinning—to create materials with controlled morphology, crystallinity, and surface chemistry for practical device integration. Their work bridges fundamental materials science with scalable, low-cost fabrication techniques for sustainable energy solutions.

Easily soluble expanded graphite is synthesized in a one-step exfoliation process that can be used for the lowcost mass production of graphene for various applications because of the simplicity and speed of the process. The graphene obtained is sufficiently expanded to be dispersed in aqueous solutions with an ordinary surfactant and in organic solvents.
The transport mechanisms in ZnO/CdS/CuInSe2 solar cells prepared by ARCO (now Siemens) Solar Inc. have been analyzed by measurements of current versus voltage at different temperatures in the dark, short-circuit current versus open-circuit voltage at different temperatures in the light, spectral response of quantum efficiency, and junction capacitance. In the dark, recombination in the depletion region and/or thermally assisted tunneling are the dominant transport mechanisms. The observation of
Beta-In(2)S(3) nanotubes were synthesized using an organic solution pyrolysis route. The shape of the beta-In(2)S(3) nanotubes was controlled from hexagonal nanoplates to nanotubes simply by changing the reaction time. The growth mechanism of the nanotubes was explained by oriented attachment. The beta-In(2)S(3) nanotubes had a diameter, wall thickness and length of 5.0 nm, 0.79 nm and >10 microm, respectively. The diameter of the beta-In(2)S(3) nanotubes was found to be dependent on the sulfur
Dry etching plasma parameters were optimized for texturing single crystalline thin silicon solar cells and hence for high efficiency. In reactive ion etching (RIE) texturing, a low etch depth (∼2 µm) was obtained compared with the etch depth that occurred in the wet chemical texturing process. For the flow ratios (SF6/O2) of 2 and 3, needle-like and cylindrical type structured surfaces were obtained. In the RIE process, the effects of working pressure, flow ratio, and etching time on reflectance
Abstract Semi‐ionically fluorinated graphene (s‐FG) is synthesized with a one step liquid fluorination treatment. The s‐FG consists of two different types of bonds, namely a covalent C‐F bond and an ionic C‐F bond. Control is achieved over the properties of s‐FG by selectively eliminating ionic C‐F bonds from the as prepared s‐FG film which is highly insulating (current < 10 −13 A at 1 V). After selective elimination of ionic C‐F bonds by acetone treatment, s‐FG recovers the highly conductive
Three-dimensional hierarchical nanostructures of TiO2, consisting of high density nanorods on nanofibers, were synthesized by the combination of electrospinning, thermal annealing and hydrothermal methods. The morphologies, crystal structures, surface area, band gap and photocatalytic activity of the hierarchical nanostructures were characterized by Raman microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and surface area analysis.
To solve the problems of the Si anode such as excessive volume expansion and the corresponding destruction of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film, we propose a porous MoS<sub>2</sub>@C heteroshell with a Si yolk structure.
