The lab develops next-generation secondary batteries that make use of molecular crowding.
AboutAbout the lab
Rethinking secondary batteries with living systems as the model
The lab of Associate Professor Masato Ito applies the changes in water activity and the unusual ion conduction phenomena that arise from molecular crowding effects inside cells to the development of energy devices.
In particular, for secondary batteries, it aims to solve rate capability, durability, and safety, which have tended to be put aside until now, from the perspective of biomimetics (an approach that takes living systems as a model).
Its method is to rethink material selection, molecular assembly, and interface control.
Key terms
- molecular crowding effect
- An effect caused by molecules being densely packed inside cells. It is thought to produce changes in the activity of water molecules and unusual ion conduction.
- rate capability
- A property indicating how quickly a battery can be charged and discharged
- secondary battery
- A rechargeable battery that can be charged and used repeatedly
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on applying the changes in water activity and the unusual ion conduction phenomena that arise from molecular crowding effects inside cells to the development of energy devices. The lab believes that developing next-generation secondary batteries that combine high input/output performance and durability with environmental compatibility will become increasingly important.
