Welcome to the homepage of Ji Bong Joo's research laboratory in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Konkuk University. The Advanced Catalysis and Reaction Engineering Lab (ACREL@KU) was established in Spring, 2016 to lead the way in Catalysis & Reaction Engineering which is one of the most important fields in chemical engineering.
We are interested in the synthesis, characterization, catalysis and reaction engineering of classic catalysts and novel catalytic materials. We also focus on challenges in catalysts and catalytic processes.
We use various chemical approaches to synthesize catalytic materials and catalysts. We can tune the chemical and physical properties of catalysts to control catalytic performances such as conversion, selectivity, stability etc. in practical catalytic applications. We also study the chemistry of surface reaction, catalysis mechanism and fundamental phenomena of materials aspect. In addition, we evaluate activity and performance of catalyst and catalytic process. In order to improve performance of many catalytic processes, we are carrying out valuable works in Engineering aspect.
Our Research topics include:
- Synthesis and Application of Nano-catalysts (Nanostructured Catalysts, Nanoreactor, etc.)
- Heterogeneous Catalysis (Fuel Processing, Hydrocarbon Conversion, Petrochemical Processes, etc.)
- Novel Catalysts for Solar Energy Conversion (Photocatalysis, Artificial Photosynthesis and Water Splitting, etc.)
- Chemical Conversions of Biomass and Waste
- Chemical Processes for Greenhouse Gas Treatment (CO2, non-CO2)
- Electro-chemical Reaction and Catalysis (Fuel cells, Electro-chemical oxidation/reduction, etc.)
