The winner of the Journal of Materials Chemistry A poster prize was Kun Woong Lee (Sungkyunkwan University, Republic of Korea) with the poster titled: A Study on VO2 Protective Layer Deposition and Defect Inactivation of BiVO4 Photoelectrodes via Photoelectrochemical Transition Metal Engineering.
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea. My research focuses on developing high-performance BiVO4 photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting. I am truly honored to have received the poster prize at this E-MRS meeting.

The winner of the EES Solar poster prize was Sunwoo Kim (Kyungpook National University, Republic of Korea) with the poster titled: Grain Boundary Passivation for Wide Bandgap Sub-cell of Perovskite Tandem Solar cells using Inorganic Potassium Lead Halide.
I am currently pursuing an integrated M.S.-Ph.D. program in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Kyungpook National University, South Korea, where I also completed my bachelor’s degree. My research focuses on next-generation high-efficiency and high-stability perovskite tandem solar cells. I am passionate about advancing sustainable photovoltaic technologies through innovative materials and device engineering.
Congratulations to these poster prize winners at Symposium D of E-MRS Spring 2025!
