Energy Storage System Research Group

ABOUT US

Achieving carbon neutrality requires large-scale deployment of renewable energy as well as the development of energy storage systems that are affordable, high-performance, and safe. Our group conducts research on a broad range of element technologies that constitute energy storage systems—materials and cell development, stability and performance evaluation, and reaction-system development. Our work spans next-generation rechargeable batteries such as redox flow batteries (RFBs), lithium-ion batteries (LiBs), and all-solid-state batteries, as well as new storage technologies based on electrochemical reactions, including hydrogen and CO2-utilization concepts. We advance highly efficient energy storage technologies to contribute to greenhouse-gas reduction and the effective utilization of energy resources.
