R2R method
Ultimate technology for graphene mass production
A year after, Byung Hee Hong developed the synthesis of ultra-large graphene based on roll-to-roll method and applied the material to flexible touch screens (Nature Nanotech. 5, 574-578 (2010)), which is believed to be the first demonstration of the utilization of graphene materials in practical electronic devices.
4,000+ citation as of today (2010~)
For this contribution, Byung Hee Hong was invited by the Nobel Committee to give a presentation in the Novel Symposium on Graphene, five months prior to the announcement of the Nobel Physics Prize on graphene in 2010. The press release by the Royal Swedish Academy has cited Byung Hee Hong’s paper as one of the major research achievements that contributed to the prize, and his achievements are being exhibited in *Nobel Museum.
Located in Stockholm Sweden, Nobel museum is a museum devoted to circulate information on the Nobel Prize, Nobel laureates from 1901 to present, and the life of the founder of the prize, Alfred Nobel (1833-1896).

What worldwide researchers are saying about Hong Byung Hee
-
Prof. Konstantin Novoselov Manchester Univ. School of Physics“Prof. Byung Hee Hong’s work helped in providing what industries require in terms of graphene commercialization.” - 2011 Electronics News Special Report -“Prof. Byung Hee Hong’s large scale synthesis research enabled receipt of the Nobel prize.” - Novoselov’s email to Prof. Byung Hee Hong -
-
Prof. Andre Geim Manchester Univ. School of PhysicsMay 2010 - Prof. Byung Hee Hong spoke at the Nobel symposium about the large scale synthesis technique of graphene and touchscreen applications. He received high praise for showing the future of graphene. The Nobel Prize was announced five months later.- 2011 Electronics News Special Report -
-
Prof. Phillip Kim Harvard Univ. School of Physics“I am glad to see that Prof. Byung Hee Hong rejected offers from other countries in order to continue his graphene research in Korea. Graphene Square Inc. will accomplish important works as a leader in graphene material development in Korea.”- 2012 Graphene Square Anniversary -
-
Prof. James Hone Columbia Univ. School of Engineering“In my opinion, Korea’s graphene research is at the forefront. Byung Hee Hong first developed the technique to produce graphene in mass scale and it was quite innovative. He changed people’s perspective of graphene. Within the labs, graphene was a fun and interesting research area material, but then suddenly, it was transformed into something that we can actually apply and adapt.”- 2015 KBS “Carbon Revolution” -

Professor Kim is a world leading scientist in the area of materials research. His research area is experimental condensed matter physics with an emphasis on physical properties and applications of nanoscale low-dimensional materials. The focus of Prof. Kim’s group research is the mesoscopic investigation of transport phenomena, particularly, electric, thermal and thermoelectrical properties of low dimensional nanoscale materials. These materials include carbon nanotubes, organic and inorganic nanowires, 2-dimensional mesoscopic single crystals, and single organic molecules. The use of modern state-of-the-art semiconductor device fabrication techniques and the development of new methods of material synthesis/manipulation are essential parts of this research. He has initiated these efforts very successfully, and is continuously making innovations in microscopic experimental tools and methods in order to investigate the electric, thermal/thermoelectric transport properties of the nanoscale materials. Professor Kim published more than 120 papers in professional journals which are well cited. Many of his papers are published in high impact journals such as Nature, Science and Physical Review Letters. Professor Kim received numerous honors and award including Oliver E. Buckley Prize (2014), Loeb Lectureship, Harvard (2012); Dresden Barkhausen Award (2011); Yunker Lectureship, Oregon State University, (2011); Chapman Lectureship, Rice University, (2009); IBM Faculty Award (2009); Ho-Am Science Prize (2008); American Physical Society Fellow (2007); Columbia University Distinguished Faculty Award (2007); Recipient Scientific American 50 (2006); National Science Foundation Faculty Career Award (2004). In addition, He has given more than 300 invited presentations as keynote speaker, plenary speakers, and invited speakers in international and domestic conferences, colloquiums and department seminars.
