AboutAbout the lab
Creating ultrafunctional materials by controlling composition and lattice defects
The Ultrafunctional Energy and Nanomaterials Lab is a lab at the International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER), which conducts fundamental research aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.
The lab aims to develop new ultrafunctional materials by designing chemical composition and controlling lattice defects.
Its research centers on experiments and detailed evaluation of nanostructures, combined with theoretical studies and machine learning.
Master's and doctoral students are admitted through the Department of Automotive Science in the Graduate School of Integrated Frontier Sciences.
Key terms
- Lattice defect
- A place in a crystal where the arrangement of atoms is not regular
- High-pressure torsion
- A processing method that twists a material under high pressure to deform it by a large amount. Abbreviated as HPT
- High-entropy alloy
- An alloy made by mixing several kinds of elements in roughly equal proportions

ResearchResearch themes
The lab specializes in using severe plastic deformation, such as high-pressure torsion, to tailor the nanostructures and functions of metals and ceramics. Its current research focuses on three main themes: new photocatalysts for hydrogen production, CO2 conversion, plastic waste decomposition, and ammonia synthesis; new hydrides that store hydrogen at room temperature; and the development of nanomaterials with unique mechanical properties.
