Okawa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates new nanomaterials using electrochemistry and photographic chemistry.
AboutAbout the lab
A concerto played by nanomaterials and electrochemistry.
The Okawa Lab combines electrochemistry with nanoscale materials to create reaction sites with new functions.
Electrochemistry is a field that studies how electrons are exchanged between substances in solution and electrodes.
Tracing the lab's origins leads back to silver halide photography materials and the materials science related to them.
The lab treats applying the materials and methods used in photographic chemistry to the assembly of modern nanomaterials as an important research subject.
Key terms
- Electrochemistry
- A field that deals with reactions in which electrons are exchanged between substances in solution and electrodes.
- Silver halide photography
- Photography that uses silver halide as the light-sensitive material. Particles that receive light turn into metallic silver.
- Silver halide
- A compound of silver with chlorine, bromine, or iodine. Because it changes when exposed to light, it is used as the light-sensitive material in photographic film.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's overarching theme is "a concerto played by nanoscale materials and electrochemistry." Starting from the materials science of silver halide photography, it studies information conversion using nanotechnology from both the materials and device sides.
*Illustrative imageFabrication and Use of Electrochemical Devices
The lab creates new devices by modifying electrode surfaces at the molecular and nanometer level. Using biomaterials and functional nanomaterials, it is considering applications to display devices, chemical sensors, and photoelectric conversion elements.
*Illustrative imageFormation of Functional Nanoparticles and Nanowires
The photosensitive material of photographic film consists of silver halide microparticles whose shape and size are precisely controlled. The lab extends the technology accumulated there to other particles, attempting to make nanomaterials from silver halide microcrystals through photographic chemical reactions.
