The lab controls the structure of ceramics through liquid-phase synthesis to enhance functions such as environmental remediation.
AboutAbout the lab
Controlling the structure of ceramics through liquid-phase synthesis.
The Environmentally Friendly Ceramics Lab studies how to control structure, from the arrangement of atoms in crystals to the shape of particles, through liquid-phase synthesis using solutions.
It aims to enhance functions such as adsorption and photodecomposition properties, corrosion resistance to water vapor, and electrochemical properties.
By examining crystal and surface structures, pore structures, and the coordination states of constituent elements, the lab builds an understanding of the relationship between structure and function from the viewpoint of the synthesis process.
The lab's website is shared with the Ishihara Lab.
Key terms
- Liquid-phase synthesis
- A method of making materials by causing reactions in solution.
- Hydrothermal process
- A method of making particles and crystals by heating with water as the solvent. Heating with microwaves is also used.

ResearchResearch themes
Based on solution chemistry, the lab uses liquid-phase synthesis to control hierarchical structures, from the arrangement of atoms in crystals to the shape of particles, aiming to enhance the functions of ceramic materials. It works on developing oxide particles through aqueous solution processes, developing environmental catalyst materials by controlling composite structures, and synthesizing ceramics at low temperatures by controlling precursor structures.
*Illustrative imageOxide Particles via Aqueous Solution Processes
The lab makes oxide particles using processes that involve aqueous solutions. Taking advantage of the ability of microwaves to heat quickly and selectively in hydrothermal processes, it develops spherical particles, crystals with distinctive shapes, and more.
*Illustrative imageHigh-Performance Environmental Catalyst Materials with Composite Structures
This research develops high-performance environmental catalyst materials by controlling composite structures. The lab examines crystal, surface, and pore structures and builds an understanding of their relationship with adsorption and photodecomposition properties from the viewpoint of the synthesis process.
*Illustrative imageLow-Temperature Synthesis of Ceramics
The lab works on synthesizing high-performance ceramics at low temperatures by controlling the structure of the precursors used as raw materials. It investigates the relationship between how materials are synthesized and the structure and functions of the resulting materials.
*Illustrative imagePiezo-Photocatalysts Based on Hydroxyl Group Chemistry
The lab works on designing piezo-photocatalysts based on the chemistry of hydroxyl groups.
