Sangmyung University Master's Student Develops High-Efficiency, High-Safety Cellulose-Based Battery Material

Sangmyung University announced on the 17th that a master's student has developed a high-efficiency and high-safety cellulose-based battery material.

According to Sangmyung University, the thesis of Seonghyeon Byeon, a master's student in the Department of Chemical Energy Engineering, was published as the sole first author in the journal 'Cellulose.' The journal Cellulose is a prestigious academic journal ranked first in the fields of materials science and wood in the JCR (Journal Citation Reports).

Student Byeon presented research results on the development of high-efficiency and high-safety cellulose-based battery materials through the paper titled "Porous channels in cellulose acetate by compressed nitrogen with lactic acid."

In particular, he succeeded in maximizing porosity by utilizing nitrogen gas and lactic acid. The cellulose-based battery material improved thermal stability while reducing costs. Cellulose, being a natural material, is also biodegradable, earning it recognition as environmentally friendly.

This research is significant in securing foundational technology for the development of high-performance batteries. The academic community evaluates it as a stepping stone for the continuous growth of Korean battery technology.
