Carbon-Neutral Materials Research Group

We are investigating advanced functional ceramic and multi-materials and these manufacturing processes for energy conversion and material circulation using automated experiments and AI informatics.

Group Research Theme

Material exploration and synthesis of new functional materials using elemental reactivity maps

New materials are predicted from elemental reactivity maps generated by machine learning and are synthesized through advanced techniques that enable compositional tuning by controlling anisotropic diffusion. (Press Release 04/15/2025)

Material exploration using elemental reactivity maps of ternary Ni, elements A, and B. The reactivity scores are higher for deeper colors (red: known, blue: unknown).

Development of near-room temperature solidification for ceramics via high-throughput automated experiments

A robot performs synthesis experiments of complex oxides in a day which is done by human in a month. Consequently, various ceramics can be manufactured at near-room temperature by acid-base chemical densification (ABCD) method facilitated by machine learning analysis.
