Research Outline

Ubiquitous energy devices, high-performance mobile devices for energy storage, will be indispensable in the creation of a sustainable society that uses energy resources efficiently in an environment-conscious manner. To do so, it will be crucial to develop new functional materials, wherein surface and interface phenomena play key roles. Clarifying the mechanism of such surface and interface phenomena at microscopic levels should enable dramatic performance advances and the development of new functional materials. This research group is engaged in basic research on such surface and interface phenomena of functional materials via a combination of microscopic observation using electron microscopy and scanning-probe microscopy and first-principles calculation. Special effort is put into establishing a new material development methodology referred to as "materiomics," which is advanced combinatorial chemistry combined with microscopic observations and first-principles calculations.
