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

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.
