Title : Exploration of secondary batteries with porphyrinoid electrode materials

Abstract:

Electrical power suppliers have addressed a significant amount of energy consumption while stimulating the invention of different types of energy sources. Secondary batteries are a powerful energy storage technology for portable electric instruments and vehicles, mostly relying on inorganic compounds. On the other hand, sufficiently superior organic molecules per compartment, especially organic molecules exposed to p-conjugation networks, adequately represent battery behaviour as potential electrode materials in terms of unique electrochemical activities induced by multiple, reversibly stable molecular oxidation steps. In the spotlight for their structural tunability and versatility, chemists and engineers explored sustainable organic electrode materials for practical rechargeable batteries in the present study. We paid attention to addressing the sequential contributions of electrochemical/electrophysical processes, which is the vital key to driving the cell's fast charge/discharge performance and long-term cyclability.
Audience take away:

• The presenter wants to introduce electromagnetic features of organic molecules that can play an essential role tin sustainable cell performances.
• We should improve the efficient preparation methods for the desired organic molecules.
• Organic compounds probably provide relatively secure systems.

Biography:

Dr. J.-Y. Shin studied Chemistry at the Seoul Women’s University, Seoul, Korea, and graduated with an MS in 1997. She then joined the research group of Prof. Atsuhiro Osuka at Kyoto University, Kyoto. She received her Ph.D. degree in 2001 from the same institution. After three years of postdoctoral fellowship followed by three and half years of research associate supervised/directed by Prof. David Dolphin at the University of British Columbia, BC, Canada, she joined the research group of Prof. Kimoon Kim at Pohang University of Science and Technology (Postech), Korea, as a research assistant professor. She then obtained the position of a Designated Associate Professor, followed by a Designated Professor at G30 International Education Program at Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan. She was promoted to a tenured professor in 2021. She has published more than 60 research articles in SCI(E) journals.)
