Our group aims to develop novel materials and technologies for energy storage (batteries), conversion (fuel cells), and utilization (power-to-X devices) based on the establishment of new theories and understandings in “electrochemistry”. We are developing (1) functional battery materials based on our unique design strategy, (2) unprecedented electrochemical reactions to realize high-energy-density batteries that surpass lithium-ion batteries, (3) novel electrocatalysts that drastically enhance the performance of fuel cells, and (4) next-generation power-to-X devices that produce industrially important substances (hydrogen, hydrocarbons, ammonia) from common materials. Based on our unique materials and analytical methods, we are challenging to develop innovative devices that can solve energy and environmental problems.
