Interfacial Energy Conversion Materials Chemistry Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies energy conversion at the interface where solids and liquids meet.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring energy conversion at solid–liquid interfaces
The Interfacial Energy Conversion Materials Chemistry Lab studies chemical reactions at the interface between a solid and a solution, where electron transfer plays the leading role.
The lab develops methods for assembling atoms, molecules, and nanoclusters into functional material phases.
It investigates energy conversion reactions at solid–liquid interfaces from a fundamental level, including electrode reactions in electrocatalysts and secondary batteries, with the aim of helping solve energy problems.
The lab is part of the Hokkaido University–NIMS Joint Graduate School Program and accepts doctoral students who conduct their research at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).
Key terms
- Interface
- The boundary surface where two materials with different properties are in contact
- Electrocatalyst
- A material that speeds up reactions on an electrode surface so that they proceed with less energy
- Secondary battery
- A battery that can be recharged and used repeatedly, such as a lithium-ion battery
