We design new ionic solids
We design new ionic solids
We seek to understand the fundamental mechanisms governing ion diffusion in solids, including crystals, glasses, and polymers.
We aim to develop a new type of ionic solids that can be applied to future electronic devices and energy storage systems.
We pursue interdisciplinary research spanning the atomic to the macroscale, integrating theory and experiments.
Structure-property relationship
Structure-property relationship
By leveraging the understanding of structure–property relationships, we can demonstrate novel mechanical and electrical properties in materials, even using cost-effective elements.
Synthesis of superionic conductor
Synthesis of superionic conductor
Theoretically designed superionic conductors will be synthesized through methods adapted from organic and inorganic chemistry, as well as mechanochemical approaches.
Solid-state battery system (Li, Na)
Solid-state battery system (Li, Na)
In the device domain, our current focus is on demonstrating solid-state battery systems as next-generation energy storage devices, employing newly developed superionic conductors.
Careers
Careers
We value fundamental studies that enable us to develop unique research perspectives. Gaining experience in identifying the governing factors that determine material properties and device performance will allow you to develop new materials and translate them into novel device systems. Students can build expertise grounded in solid-state physics, synthesis chemistry, polymer science, electrochemistry, and device engineering. We actively support students in becoming independent researchers and pursuing their own startups.
