The lab studies battery materials using first-principles calculations.

AboutAbout the lab
Understanding battery materials through computation
Since fiscal 2025, the Inorganic Energy and Environmental Materials Lab has shifted from an experimental science lab to a computational science lab.
It no longer conducts experiments and now operates as a computational science lab.
The lab performs first-principles calculations on cathode and anode materials for batteries to elucidate their physical properties.
Its experimental research ended at the end of November 2025, and most of the experimental equipment has been cleared away.
The lab's website introduces it as the "Suzuki Lab."
Key terms
- First-principles calculation
- A method of calculating the properties of a material according to quantum mechanics, based on the types and arrangement of its atoms
- Cathode material
- A material at the positive electrode of a battery that takes in and releases lithium ions
- Jahn-Teller effect
- A phenomenon in which the shape of a structure formed by atoms, such as an octahedron, is distorted depending on the electronic state
ResearchResearch themes
Suzuki Lab uses first-principles calculations to study the stability of crystal structures and the electrochemical stability of cathode and anode materials for batteries.
