THE BYUN LAB

We design and make novel polymeric materials to find sustainable solutions for tackling the urgent problems of water pollution and energy shortage.

Byun Laboratory @ KIST

Welcome to the Byun Lab!

We are Dr. Jeehye Byun's research team at the Water Cycle Research Center, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST). Our research focuses on the design of porous and conjugated polymers for energy and environmental applications.

Research Areas

Explore our research

Environment

Porous polymers

We design porous polymers by 'porosity' and 'chemistry' rules for selective adsorption of targeted compounds, such as CO2 in the air, micropollutants in water, and organic vapors.

Energy

Polymer photocatalysts

We develop conjugated polymer photocatalysts that harvest visible light for solar H2O2 production, water splitting, and CO2 conversion.

Materials

Polymers and membranes

We design and make novel polymeric materials and surface-tuned membranes through fine structural design.
