AboutAbout the lab
A broad research area on materials related to the environment
The Environmental Materials Engineering research area is one of the research areas of the International Degree Program in Materials Innovation, and covers environment-related research on catalysts, organic and polymer materials, biomaterials, and optical materials.
The primary advisors include faculty from the collaborative graduate school partners (AIST and NIMS).
Faculty members pursue a variety of research, such as hydrogen storage, carbon dioxide conversion, organic lasers, and biomarker sensing.
The program's faculty page introduces the faculty grouped by research area.
Key terms
- Self-assembly
- The process by which components such as molecules spontaneously come together to form a defined structure, without being assembled in detail from the outside
- Organic laser
- A laser that uses organic molecules with a carbon backbone as the light-emitting material
- Hydrogen storage
- Technology for storing hydrogen inside a material
ResearchResearch themes
The Environmental Materials Engineering research area studies materials related to the environment, including catalysts, organic and polymer materials, biomaterials, and optical materials. Research content is introduced for each faculty member; here we cover the work of the primary advisors who are listed first on the program's website.
*Illustrative imageMolecular assemblies and organic lasers
The lab creates nano- and microstructures formed by the self-assembly of pi-conjugated organic molecules, polymers, and biomolecules. It also studies applications in light emission, lasers, energy conversion, biology, and sensing.
*Illustrative imageMaterials for a hydrogen society
With the aim of creating materials that contribute to carbon neutrality and a hydrogen society, the lab develops new high-density hydrogen storage materials and new metal-free electrocatalyst materials for water electrolysis. It also studies a new class of materials composed of main-group elements.
*Illustrative imageBioprobes and soft lasers
Combining organic chemistry, photophysics, and molecular biology, the lab creates bioprobes and soft laser devices and develops artificial life-like reactions.
*Illustrative imageStrong interactions between light and matter
Based on the self-assembly of organic molecules, the lab builds systems with strong light-matter interactions. It aims to realize new carriers of quantum information.
