Professor Sung Soo Park's research lab specializes in the design and synthesis of advanced functional materials, with a strong focus on mesoporous and nanostructured materials for energy, environmental, and biomedical applications. The lab develops innovative materials such as mesoporous carbon nitrides, periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs), and hollow mesoporous silica spheres, often functionalized with tailored organic groups to enhance performance. Key research directions include the development of novel dyes for dye-sensitized solar cells, functional nanomaterials for drug delivery and catalysis, and materials for gas adsorption and environmental remediation.

Chemotherapy-induced neurotoxicity is a significant complication in the successful treatment of many cancers. Neurotoxicity may develop as a consequence of treatment with platinum analogues (cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin), taxanes (paclitaxel, docetaxel), vinca alkaloids (vincristine) and more recently, thalidomide and bortezomib. Typically, the clinical presentation reflects an axonal peripheral neuropathy with glove-and-stocking distribution sensory loss, combined with features suggestiv
Highly nitrogen-enriched mesoporous carbon nitride materials with 2-dimensional (2-D) (2D-meso-CN) and 3-dimensional (3-D) mesostructures (3D-meso-CN) were synthesized using mesoporous silica as a hard template and cyanamide as a precursor via the incipient wetness process without using any solvent. The materials were characterized by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for the mesostructure analysis, N2 adsorption–desorption i
In 1999, three groups independently developed a novel class of organic–inorganic nanocomposites known as periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs). The organic functional groups in the frameworks of these solids allow tuning of the surface properties and modification of the bulk properties of the material. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of PMOs and discusses their different functionalities, morphology and applications, such as catalysis, drug delivery, sensing, optics, electronic de
We designed and synthesized novel organic dyes of double electron acceptor type based on phenothiazine framework, as photosensitizers for the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC). The density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were used to estimate the photovoltaic properties of the dyes in the design stage. The molecular structure having two electron acceptors on both sides of phenothiazine moiety provided the efficient electron extraction path
Abstract Functionalized hollow nano‐ and microspheres containing both hollow and mesoporous structures are fascinating materials for a broad range of applications, such as nanoparticle collectors, catalysis, drug delivery systems, immobilization of biomolecules, and the adsorption and separation of gas and pollutants, because of their empty interior. These hollow mesoporous silica materials are synthesized mainly via soft‐ and hard‐templating routes and are usually modified with a range of organ
