Prof. Youngsoo Yoon, Gold Award for Academic Contribution of Korea Ceramic Society. 2019
November 23-25, 2020 DCC, Daejeon, Korea
Professor Youngsoo Yoon of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the university was awarded the 2009 Academic Contribution Gold Award from the Korean Ceramic Society. Professor Yoon received this award for the highest number of citations in international journals (SCI, SCIE) among papers presented at the Korean Ceramic Society (English) for the past three years.
Prof. Yoon's contribution increased the possibility of being listed in the SCI of the Korean Ceramic Society, and in fact, the English Journal of the Korean Ceramic Society was listed in the SCI(E) in 2021 by publishing very excellent academic papers
According to Professor Yoon's papers on energy materials published at the Korea Ceramic Society, Gachon University ranked first in the number of citations by institution that competed with domestic universities and state-funded research institutes for the past three years.
2019 Fall Conference The Korean Ceramic Society, KCERS Award
November 23-25, 2020 DCC, Daejeon, Korea
At the 2019 Fall Conference of the Korean Ceramic Society, Master's course Lee Woon Ho and Cha Yu Rim won the Yangsong Excellence Poster Award and the Next-Generation Women's Ceramics Paper Award. Yangsong Excellent Poster Award is given to an individual or group recognized for contributing to the development of ceramics through the presentation of excellent ceramic posters. The next-generation female ceramist thesis award is given to a researcher who, as a female ceramist, has published the results of advanced and in-depth research on ceramics.
Start a new task in 2019
It plans to carry out a task for "development of highly corrosion-resistant metal separators for hydrogen fuel cells" with the Atomic Energy Research Institute. This is a task to solve the following problems. In general, a metal separation plate is used to manufacture a hydrogen fuel cell. However, the metal separator is corroded under the influence of fuel input and operation. In order to prevent this problem, corrosion-resistant gold is plated on the surface of the metal separator and used. This method causes the fuel cell production cost increase because it requires the use of high-purity gold. To solve these issues, we plan to study a technology to replace the gold-coated metal separator for hydrogen fuel cells in our laboratory.
It is a task for "Development of 4 meter ATF Clad based on Zr alloy base material applied to room temperature shaft pipe process" with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power. This is a task to improve the nuclear fuel problem of recent nuclear power plants. The hydrogen explosion, one of the major causes of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011, is due to
a large amount of hydrogen generation. It is caused by the high-temperature steam generated by the increase in the fuel rod temperature by the loss of the core cooling function, and the rapid corrosion reaction of the nuclear fuel cladding tube (zirconium-based material). In order to prevent such an accident, a device suppressing the corrosion reaction of the nuclear fuel clad pipe is required even in an accident situation. Therefore, in this laboratory, we plan to conduct research on methods to prevent corrosion of nuclear fuel clad pipes even in an accident situation.
With Soonchunhyang University as the main axis, through collaboration with various companies, research institutes, and universities such as Poris and Electronic Components Research Institute, We participated in the task for “R&D-infrastructure-linked manufacturing innovation platform for display industry advancement and support for securing industrial competitiveness- development of core parts technology for OLED process equipment”.
Awarded the 29th Science and Technology Excellence Paper Award
On July 24, the Seoul newspaper reported on the award of the '29th Science and Technology Excellence Paper Award' by Professor Youngsoo Yoon of Gachon University at the Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST).
The paper that won the Science and Technology Excellence Paper Award is "Simultaneous Control of Phase Transformation and Crystal of Amorphous TiO2 Coating on MWCNT Surface".
Here is the full article.
"As a research paper on hydrogen compound fuel cell core materials for future automobiles"
Gachon University announced on the 24th that Professor Yoon Young-soo of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering recently received the ‘29th Science and Technology Excellence Paper Award’ from the Korea Federation of Science and Technology Societies (KOFST).
The Science and Technology Excellence Paper Award is awarded to papers published in domestic academic journals,
Each academic society recommends one thesis each year to the committee, and then the committee selects it through the evaluation of the expert committee and the comprehensive committee for each field. The award-winning thesis was "TiO2 coating controlling simultaneously phase change and crystallinity on multi-walled carbon nanotubes”, which Professor Yoon presented in the Journal of Korean Ceramic Society (JKCS), a journal of the Korean Ceramic Society last year.
2019 Spring Korean Ceramic Society Presentation
April 10-12, 2019, Jeju, Korea
The Spring conference of the Korean Ceramic Society was held from April 10 to 12, 2019 at the Jeju Ramada Plaza Hotel.
In this laboratory, ceramic materials related to thermal cells and fuel cells were considered, and it was a time to explore research on various energy devices. In addition, it was a time to present the coating technology applicable to the nuclear field.
