Yuasa Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A coordination chemistry and supramolecular chemistry lab that develops photofunctional materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Developing photofunctional materials through a broad range of chemistry
The Yuasa Lab researches cutting-edge photofunctional materials.
Drawing on physical chemistry, organic chemistry, coordination chemistry, and supramolecular chemistry, the lab develops a variety of photofunctional materials.
Photofunctional materials are already widely used, for example in preventing banknote counterfeiting with security inks, and are expected to be applied to quantum computers and encrypted communication in the future.
From the fourth year of the undergraduate program, each student is given their own research theme.
Key terms
- Photofunctional materials
- Materials that make use of properties related to light. They are used, for example, to prevent banknote counterfeiting with security inks.
- Coordination complex
- A compound formed when molecules called ligands bind to a metal ion.
- Electron transfer
- The phenomenon in which electrons move between molecules or substances. It is fundamental to materials for electronic devices, solar cells, and more.
NewsLab news
