Group 1: Design of catalyst for low-temperature vehicle exhaust purification

Professors Sung June Cho, Hyun Joo Lee, and Jeong Woo Han

Group 1 is devoted to developing novel metal oxidation catalysts and metal oxide reduction catalysts based on fundamental understanding of relevant surface reactions determined from computational tools.

Group 2: Design of a multi-purpose (catalyst/adsorbent) filter

Professors Kwan-Young Lee, Ki Bong Lee, Hyun Wook Jung, Jung Kyu Choi, and Dae Won Lee

Group 2 aims to develop a filter than can both serve as a catalyst and adsorbent. More specifically, catalysts for low-temperature combustion of PM (particulate matter) and high-capacity adsorbent for NOx and HC designed for low-temperature adsorption and high-temperature desorption are being developed. 

Group 3: Design of high-efficiency, high-durability automobile catalytic purification system

Professors Do Heui Kim, and Jong Min Lee

Group 3 aims to develop catalysts with high resistance to poisoning and thermal stress as well as a system to control and diagnose exhaust gas purification system.
