The research team of Professor Ji-hoon Lee (Department of Electronic Engineering) at Kwangwoon University, in collaboration with doctoral researcher Aha San (first author), has successfully developed the world's first dual-functional spherical electrocatalyst electrode doped with ruthenium-nickel-boride-phosphide (Ru/Ni-B-P) for highly efficient green hydrogen production.  

This research was supported by  the BK-21, Key Research Center Project of the National Research Foundation of Korean, the Ministry of Education's , and Kwangwoon University. The research findings were published in the online version of the scientific journal Small (JCR category PHYSICS, CONDENSED MATTER, ranking 7th Q1, IF: 13.3) in November 2023 under the title "Dual-functional Ru/Ni-B-P electrocatalyst towards accelerated water electrolysis and high-stability.
