Kim Laboratory of Electrochemistry and Interfaces at the Nanoscale


At Kim Lab

We aim to transition to a sustainable economy of renewable electrons by focusing on innovations in electrochemical processes and devices. We value the insights learned at the surfaces and interfaces of nanoscale materials that can broadly impact the energy, chemicals, and materials industry.


Announcements

Positions are available for graduate students and postdocs! Students interested in joining the team should reach out to the principal investigator at dohyungk@seas.upenn.edu
