[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Dooyul] A joint research paper by Professor Choi Yonghwan and student Kang Minsu of the Department of Convergence Mechanical Engineering at Silla University has been published in the SCI-level international journal 'Materials Today Sustainability.'

This journal is a prestigious publication in the field of materials science, with an impact factor of 4.524.

Professor Choi Yonghwan and student Kang Minsu conducted research on power generation using the phenomenon Hydrophobic Hydration, which occurs when ultrapure water interacts with hydrophobic surfaces, under the theme "Fabrication and Characterization of Streaming Potential Using Membranes."

The study demonstrated that it is possible to produce a large amount of energy, with a maximum of 0.25 V and 0.14 mA. They also discovered the potential for achieving higher energy efficiency and density.

The research, based on pressure-driven clean energy, is expected to provide a new direction for renewable energy studies and is gaining attention.

Student Kang Minsu said, "I am pleased to achieve good results by researching eco-friendly and portable energy sources, which have been widely studied recently," and added, "I want to contribute to society through extensive research."

Professor Choi Yonghwan said, "I am grateful that student Kang Minsu diligently engaged in research while attending school classes, and I feel a sense of fulfillment as a professor to achieve meaningful results together."
