Hee-Joon Chun works in materials science and catalysis, focusing on designing catalysts and electrocatalysts for converting small molecules such as CO2, CO, and hydrocarbons into useful fuels and chemicals (e.g., alcohols, olefins, and paraffins). The work combines experimental catalyst synthesis and testing with computational methods like density functional theory and molecular dynamics to understand how catalyst structure and surface chemistry affect reaction performance. Additional projects involve electrocatalysts for energy conversion reactions such as water splitting and oxygen reduction.
