Hye Ryung Byon and her team are developing next-generation batteries, like lithium-air batteries, achieving energy densities three times higher than lithium-ion batteries.
Byon improved the efficiency of lithium-air batteries using ruthenium oxide nanoparticles as a catalyst, boosting electrical efficiency by up to 73%.
After her PhD, Byon worked at MIT and focused on energy-related fields, developing a preference for practical applications related to energy.
Byon’s interest extends to redox-flow batteries, which are rechargeable batteries storing energy in large tanks of liquid electrolytes for grid-supporting applications.
