□ The research accomplishments of Professor In Su-il’s team from the Department of Energy Science & Engineering at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee) have been selected for official press releases at the 2025 American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring Meeting. This achievement is a global recognition of the excellence of the DGIST research team and has served to further elevate the academic standing of both the research team and DGIST.
□ Founded in 1876, the ACS is a globally prestigious academic organization in the field of chemistry, playing a central role in advancing science and supporting research. Approximately 12,000 research abstracts are registered at the ACS meetings which are held every year; among them, only a select few are chosen for official press releases by comprehensively considering innovation, social impact, originality, and public interest. At this year’s ACS Spring Meeting, a total of 10 research accomplishments, including the research by Professor In Su-il’s team, were selected for official press releases, with the results announced on March 18 (U.S. local time).
□ The 2025 ACS Spring Meeting will be held from March 23 to 27 at the San Diego Convention Center in California. On the 26th, Professor In Su-il’s team will present their research titled “Next Generation Battery: Highly Efficient and Stable C-14 Dye-Sensitized Betavoltaic Cell.”
□ This research is gaining attention as a key technology to address power supply issues crucial for the AI and quantum computing era and is expected to drive innovations in electric vehicles (EVs), urban air mobility (UAM), and next-generation mobile devices. In particular, major domestic and international conglomerates have shown significant interest in this presentation and are discussing collaboration strategies to secure related technologies.
□ “In an era where the importance of energy security is increasingly growing, this achievement is a valuable outcome that the research team and DGIST have accomplished together,” said DGIST Professor In Su-il. “We will continue to conduct research that will contribute to addressing global energy issues.”
□ Meanwhile, DGIST plans to continue its research innovations in energy and convergent technologies based on this achievement, seeking to grow into a world-class university.
