About Zettsu Lab
Pursuing the Ideal Battery: From "Long" to "Long-lasting" Batteries
Battery development from the viewpoint of materials
Electrode active material, conductivity aid (carbon nanotube), electrolyte, separator, current collector
Analytical technology, manufacturing technology, theoretical calculation, battery design, virtual battery evaluation
Develop human resources who can identify materials and technologies
Foster human resources who can design materials and functions that are not determined by chemical composition alone.
What you will learn and acquire through battery research
-Three disciplines: electrochemistry, surface chemistry, solid state chemistry
-Three analog technologies: mixing, coating, solidification
-Three advanced technologies: operando measurement, computational science, and data science
Research Features
Synthesis, structural analysis, battery prototyping and evaluation: we do it all!
Focus on structural analysis and chemical state analysis using X-rays: XRD, XPS, XAFS, SAXS
What we value
-Experience as many compounds (crystal structures) as possible
-To be in contact with as many analytical instruments as possible
-Trying to do as many theoretical calculations as possible
Viewing Technology: Thorough analysis of chemical and physical events that occur at different scales in space-time
- Quantum calculations (density functional theory, molecular dynamics, NNP method)
-Battery simulator (porous electrode model, fluid analysis)
-Operando measurement (XRD, FT-IR, Raman, XAFS)
-Machine learning
