Sung-Hyun Lee, a member of Prof. Lee Hyun Jung's research team (Nano Hybrid Materials Laboratory) in the Department of New Materials Engineering, won the Best Poster Presentation Award at the 2024 Spring Meeting of the Korean Society of Industrial Chemistry (2024.05.08-10, BEXCO, Busan, Korea). 

The Korean Society of Industrial Chemistry was established in 1990 to provide a venue for sharing basic and applied research results in the field of chemical technology, contributing to the interests of society in general, promoting the development and dissemination of science and technology related to industrial chemistry, and contributing to the promotion of industrial chemistry.

The title of the paper presented was 'Comparing the Compatibility between different Side-chain of Conjugated Polyelectrolytes and Aqueous/Solid Electrolyte by doping through Organic Electrochemical Transistor', and the study compared the compatibility of electrochemical doping between polymer channel and electrolyte using organic semiconductor system. 

In this presentation, Lee Sung Hyun  used both aqueous electrolytes, which can be used in biosensors and neuromorphic applications, and solid electrolytes, which are easier to fabricate circuits and devices, to evaluate the behavior of electrochemical doping that depends on the properties of the polymer. This was used to propose a method for fabricating polymers that behave complementarily in both electrolytes.
