Professor Do Hyun Kim's research lab specializes in the design and development of advanced nanomaterials for sustainable energy, electronics, and environmental applications. Key research directions include the synthesis of magnetic and carbon-based nanomaterials for catalytic recycling of plastics, such as PET glycolysis using superparamagnetic γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles, and the engineering of carbon dots with stable solid-state luminescence for optoelectronic devices. The lab also focuses on flexible and wearable electronics, demonstrated through ultrathin silicon-based NAND flash memory and flexible phase change memory arrays using novel transfer techniques and selection devices. Additionally, the lab explores hybrid nanocomposites, such as GO-manganese oxide, for enhanced catalytic and thermal properties via ultrasound-assisted synthesis.

There have been numerous studies to develop catalysts for the chemical recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) via glycolysis. However, in the field of PET glycolysis, only a few have attempted to recover and reuse the catalysts. This research utilized easily recoverable superparamagnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles as a reusable catalyst for PET glycolysis. γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were produced by calcining Fe3O4 nanoparticles prepared by the co-precipitation method. The produced γ-Fe2O3 nanopa
Ultrasound-assisted synthesis of a graphene oxide (GO)-manganese oxide nanocomposite (GO-Mn(3)O(4)) was conducted without further modification of GO or employing secondary materials. With the GO nanoplate as a support, potassium permanganate oxidizes the carbon atoms in the GO support and gets reduced to Mn(3)O(4). An intensive ultrasound method could reduce the number of reaction steps and temperature, enhance the reaction rate and furthermore achieve a Mn(3)O(4) phase. The composite was charac
Realization of luminescent carbon dots (CDs) in the solid state has been a critical issue for their applications in various fields, such as optoelectronic devices and inkjet printing. However, luminescence self-quenching of CDs in an aggregated state limits the development of their applications necessarily demanding solid-state phosphors. Here, we report the origin of luminescence quenching of CDs in terms of the sp2 domain content, and we realized the solid-state luminescent CDs by controlling
Ultrathin silicon-based flexible 16 × 16 NAND flash memory (f-NAND) is demonstrated utilizing roll-to-plate packaging. The roll-based thermo-compression bonding of the anisotropic conductive film (ACF) transfers and simultaneously interconnects the f-NAND on a flexible printed circuit board. Reliable circuitry operation of the 16 × 16 f-NAND is confirmed with excellent flexibility and stable ACF interconnections.
Abstract Solid‐state luminescent carbon dot without dispersion matrices is studied to overcome aggregation‐caused quenching, but it usually shows spectral shift between solution‐ and solid‐state accompanying a dramatic decrease of fluorescence intensity, which hinders a real application. Herein, polymer carbon dot (PCD) showing solid‐state luminescence without red‐shift is synthesized by low‐temperature reaction. The PCD solution and solid have the same emission peaks at 434 nm and similar absol
Abstract Inorganic phase change memories (PCMs) have attracted substantial attention as a next‐generation storage node, due to their high‐level of performance, reliability, and scalability. To integrate the PCM on plastic substrates, the reset power should be minimized to avoid thermal degradation of polymers and adjacent cells. Additionally, flexible phase change random access memory remains unsolved due to the absence of the optimal transfer method and the selection device. Here, an Mo‐based i
