Exploring new gas absorption/storage materials to achieve carbon neutral sociaty

The manufacture of highly functional and eco-friendly materials is necessary for the sustainable development of a carbon-neutral society. Our laboratory researches a diverse array of fields in Material Science and Energy Engineering. In particular, current research topics include: - hydrogen storage using metal alloys and quasicrystals - methane storage using carbon-based materials - oxygen production and storage using ceramic materials

This lab is for this SDG activity:

  • エネルギーをみんなにそしてクリーンに
  • 産業と技術革新の基盤をつくろう
  • 気候変動に具体的な対策を

STUDY FIELDS

  • Materials science and engineering
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Physics Applied chemistry

FOR SOCIETY

We research to discover new, functional materials to help achieve a carbon-neutral society. We explore hydrogen absorption/storage materials that will help with the energy transition. Hydrogen storage materials can, for example, replace tanks in fuel-cell cars and buses. We explore alternative oxygen production and storage methods to make sure that we can supply as much oxygen as needed, even in remote places, such as rural area hospitals.

RESEARCH THEMES

  • New hydrogen absorption/storage materials, including crystalline and amorphous alloys, quasicrystals. Analysis of their crystal structure and microstructure, hydrogenation properties, and application potential
