The lab creates new functional materials from solids with nanosized spaces.
AboutAbout the lab
Using nanospaces to create new functional materials
The Sadakiyo Lab studies new functional materials using porous solids with tiny nanoscale pores (spaces), such as porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
Its goal is materials that contribute to a next-generation energy and material-cycle society.
The lab designs nanospaces inside solids and develops technologies to freely control the movement of substances, ions, and electrons.
Specifically, it works on superionic conductors, materials that selectively adsorb and separate particular molecules, electrosynthesis catalysts, and more.
Key terms
- Metal-organic framework (MOF)
- A type of porous solid with tiny nanoscale pores. It is listed alongside porous coordination polymers (PCPs)
- Superionic conductor
- A material in which ions move very easily through the solid. The lab develops these with applications in fuel cells and secondary batteries in mind
- Electrosynthesis catalyst
- A catalyst that uses electrical energy to selectively produce a target compound

*Illustrative imageIon-conducting materials (ionics materials)
The lab develops conductors that transport multivalent ions, protons, lithium ions, and other ions. The aim is to develop new superionic conductors for use in materials for fuel cells and secondary batteries.
*Illustrative imageMaterials that selectively adsorb and separate molecules
The lab develops materials that selectively adsorb and separate specific molecules. Examples include adsorbents that distinguish and select molecules or functional groups, and chiral recognition materials.
*Illustrative imageCatalysts that produce compounds with electricity
The lab studies electrosynthesis catalysts and related systems that use electrical energy to selectively produce target compounds. Examples include electrochemical organic synthesis reactions and reactions that fix gases.
