Dr. JiMun Yoo

Jimun leads the Catalytic Interface Research team at the Institute for Sustainable Hydrogen Economy (INW) at Forschungszentrum Jülich.

His research focuses on developing advanced catalytic systems to utilize hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier. His work emphasizes operando analyses on (electrified) solid-liquid/gas interface, with highlight on understanding fundamental mechanism of catalytic (de)hydrogenation reactions. Recognizing the potential of nanostructure in enhancing catalytic hydrogen storage, his team works mainly on (1) Elucidating the relationship between material structure and catalytic performance to guide material design and (2) Investigating the catalytic role of chemical components at electrified interfaces using in situ and operando analytical methodologies.
