Photodetector based on luminescent materials

  • Perovskites

    Mechanoluminescence(ML) phosphor

  • Metal halide nanocrystals

Photodetectors are device that detect optical signal and converts it into an electrical signal which is widely utilized in non-destructive detection and image sensor. We are researching various materials such as perovskites, phosphors and metal halide nanocrystals for versatile applications of photodetector.

Security & Information encryption materials

  • Infrared(IR) phosphor

    Upconversion nanoparticles(UCNPs)

  • Metal halides

We are researching novel security materials for identifying counterfeit bills with the support of KOMSCO (한국조폐공사). Also, we explore upconversion matal halides and nanoparticles which exhibit unique properties compared to conventional phosphors for various applications such as security, water detection and information encryption.

X-ray imaging scintillator

Scintillators are widely used for radiation detection in many areas such as non-destructive testing, medical imaging and space exploration. In our group, we explore and synthesize novel lead-free metal halide materials with excellent stability for scintillator application.
