The Jun group investigates chemical Water reactions at the water-energy nexus, Supply including geologic CO2 sequestration, unconventional oil and gas recovery, resource recovery, water purification, water reuse, and membrane process. Health Green Food Nanochemistry Based on our strong scientific understanding of nanoscale interfacial chemistry and solid nucleation, we seek for technological innovation for clean Energy water by developing new treatment techniques and green chemistry-enabled catalysts for environmental sustainability. Environmental NanoChemistry Lab (ENCL) We study the following topics: We use interdisciplinary tools  Nucleation, growth, and aggregation of Synchrotron-Based Techniques at nanoparticles and their structures and national synchrotron facilities (X-ray reactivities in aquatic systems. scattering, spectroscopy, and diffraction)  Chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and We work with national laboratory mechanisms of interfacial reactions at scientists at national facilities and nanoscale. travel to work with them.

• Nanoscale control for CO2 capture and We are experts who use various sequestration and other energy-related subsurface surface-sensitive techniques and operations provide in-depth knowledge of water, • Photothermal membrane development for water surface, and solid state chemistry. purification We also simulate your experimental • Water reuse (managed aquifer recharge using results using reactive transport reclaimed water) and water quality models. • Nutrient (P &N) and resource (Rare Earth Elements & Li) recovery and reuse from water and waste. What former students do now? - Assistant professors at the University of Houston, the • Photochemically-enabled green chemistry for University of Copenhagen (Denmark), and the University nanostructure synthesis of Washington - Postdoctoral scholars at Georgia Tech, the University • Biomineralization, biomaterials, and bio-inspired of California-Berkeley (with Miller fellowship), the chemistry for novel materials development University of Copenhagen, Stanford University, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Energy • Nucleation and growth of dendrite and solid Technology Laboratory, the Los Alamos National electrolyte interphase in Li-battery systems Laboratory, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory http://encl.engineering.wustl.edu/ PI: Young-Shin Jun
