Our laboratory contributes to solve environmental and energy problems for achieving a sustainable society throughout fundamental and application researches on environmental-friendly energy-conversion devices, such as solid oxide fuel cells and lithium ion secondary batteries.
In particular, focusing on solid-state ion-conducting materials, we are challenging to establish an academic discipline on “solid-state ionics”, and applying this to develop novel materials and to improve performance/reliability of the energy conversion devices. We are also working for the development of advanced in situ analytical techniques for solid-state ionic devices.
