다차원탄소재료 연구단

We synthesize carbon and related materials and investigate their chemical, physical, mechanical, and electronic properties. A central goal is to understand synthesis, transformation, and growth pathways through kinetic and thermodynamic analysis, increasingly supported by first-principles calculations, molecular simulation, and data-driven methods. Our research integrates materials chemistry, inorganic and organic synthesis, electrochemistry, surface science, solid mechanics, and condensed-matter physics. We devise experimental methods and construct specialized equipment to realize materials and structures that are otherwise difficult to produce. These include patterned and porous carbons, graphene and other two-dimensional materials, covalent organic frameworks and metal-organic frameworks, chemically functionalized graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, ultrathin diamond, unusual carbon-rich polymers, carbon composites, and diamond-like structures. Our work spans carbon materials of different dimensionalities, from molecular and nanoscale structures to macroscopic films, fibers, laminates, and bulk crystals. We also seek fundamentally new routes to established materials, including graphene, graphite, diamond, and related boron–carbon–nitrogen solids. Particular emphasis is placed on controlling nucleation, crystal growth, defects, interfaces, composition, and dimensionality, and on producing large, high-quality single crystals and architectures that have not previously been accessible.
