Energy Device Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that applies the behavior of water and ions inside cells to secondary batteries.
AboutAbout the lab
Learning from living organisms to create next-generation secondary batteries.
This research group applies the changes in water molecule activity and the unusual ion conduction that arise from molecular crowding effects inside cells to the development of energy devices.
In secondary batteries in particular, it focuses on rate capability, durability, and safety, which have tended to be put aside until now.
From a biomimetic perspective, it reconsiders material selection, molecular assembly, and interface control, and works to bring fundamental solutions.
The group believes that improving energy storage technology is necessary to make renewable energy a main power source, and that developing next-generation secondary batteries will become increasingly important.
Key terms
- Molecular crowding effect
- An effect caused by molecules being densely packed inside cells. Changes in water molecule activity and unusual ion conduction appear
- Rate capability
- The performance of a battery in terms of how quickly it can be charged and discharged
- Biomimetics
- A perspective of designing materials and technologies by taking the mechanisms of living organisms as a model
ResearchResearch themes
This research group believes that developing next-generation secondary batteries that offer high input/output performance and durability as well as environmental compatibility will become increasingly important. Using the behavior of water and ions inside cells as a clue, it is reconsidering the design of battery materials and interfaces.
