His research lab at SNU focuses on developing new materials for Lithium ion batteries, post-Li battery chemistries such as Na, Mg batteries, all-solid-state batteries and metal-air batteries using combined experiments and ab initio calculations. His works have been published in more than 350 papers and cited more than 37,000 times (H-index 98 i10-index: 257 as of 2022) for the last 15 years. He holds more than 40 patents pending/issued in this field. He was selected as Highly Cited Researchers in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 from Clarivate Analytics

Sang Il Seok is currently a Distinguished Professor at Department of Energy and Chemical Engineering, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Korea. Before joining UNIST, he was professor and research fellow at the Sungkyunkwan University and Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Korea, respectively. He obtained his PhD degree at Department of Inorganic Materials Engineering of Seoul National University, Korea, in 1995. From 1996 to 1997, he experienced a post-doc to investigate defects and transport in Fe-Ti-O Spinel structure in Cornell University, USA, and visiting scholar in University of Surrey, UK, in 2003, and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, in 2006 respectively. His major research interests were functional inorganic-organic hybrid materials through solution process for optical amplifier, high dielectrics, corrosion-resistance coatings etc. Currently, the focus of his research is to lead the manufacture of high-efficiency PSCs as pioneers of inorganic-organic hybrid solar cells, including perovskite solar cells.
