Theme Issue in Honor of Prof. Dr. Jae Sung Lee

Dear Colleagues,

Our journal is pleased to publish a Special Issue in honor of Professor Jae Sung Lee. Prof. Lee graduated with a BS in 1975 from Seoul National University, an MS in 1977 from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and received PhD in chemical engineering from Stanford University in 1984. Lee was a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) from 1986 to 2012, and is now a professor at the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering, faculty of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Ulsan, Republic of Korea.

Prof. Lee is the author of 410+ peer-reviewed publications and eight books. His work has received 34,000+ citations (15,837 citations since 2017), an h-index of 102 (68 since 2017), and i10-index of 351 (270 since 2017) accessed via Google Scholar. He has written 41 papers with over 200 citations. He holds 100+ Korean and U.S. patents, including CO₂ hydrogenation catalysts and photoelectrochemical cells for water splitting. He has served on the editorial board of many international academic journals such as the Journal of Catalysis, Applied Catalysis A, Journal of Molecular Catalysis A, Catalysis Letters, Topics in Catalysis, and ChemCatChem.

Since 1986, he has conducted research on (photo)electrocatalysis for water splitting, and heterogeneous catalysis for CO₂ hydrogenation. He has successfully supervised more than 85 MS and PhD degrees.

In recognition of Prof. Lee’s outstanding research achievements, he has received numerous awards in Korea including the Green Energy Award and Yeosan Catalytic Science Award. He is a full member of the Korean Academy of Engineers.

In honor and recognition of Professor Jae Sung Lee's outstanding career contributions to the fields of heterogeneous catalysis, photo(electro)catalysis and catalytic reaction engineering, this Special Issue of Catalysts welcomes the submission of previously unpublished manuscripts from original work or reviews in these areas. Manuscripts will be published online on an ongoing basis after being processed.
