AboutAbout the lab
Mastering liquid phases to create inorganic materials
The Inorganic Synthesis Chemistry Lab researches how to create highly functional ceramics that can help solve environmental and energy problems.
Using liquid phases such as precursor solutions and melts for synthesis, it produces inorganic materials in various forms, including fine particles, thin films, composites, and glass.
It works on developing materials for all-solid-state lithium secondary batteries and electrocatalysts that reduce carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Its goal is to create synthesis processes that can be carried out anywhere in the world without special equipment.
Key terms
- Liquid phase
- A state in which a substance is liquid, such as a solution or a melt. It is used as a medium for synthesizing materials
- All-solid-state battery
- A battery that uses a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte
- Electrocatalyst
- A material that makes reactions at the electrode surface proceed more easily in batteries and electrolysis
