The lab builds energy-saving reaction and separation processes using ordered porous materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Building useful processes with ordered porous materials and chemical engineering
The Sakai Lab conducts research using ordered porous materials that have nano-sized pores, such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
The lab carries out research that contributes to the fields of energy, carbon neutrality, and the environment.
Using ordered porous materials, the lab works on making chemical reaction and separation/purification processes far more energy-efficient and effective.
These materials are used in the home as deodorants and disinfectants, and in industry as adsorbents for purifying exhaust gas and as catalysts for various chemical reactions.
Key terms
- Ordered porous material
- A material with nano-sized pores. Zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are examples.
- Metal-organic framework (MOF)
- A type of ordered porous material with nano-sized pores.
- Adsorbent
- A material that removes components from a gas or liquid by attaching them to its surface.

*Illustrative imageDesign and synthesis of ordered porous materials
The lab designs materials with more advanced functions than conventional ones and actually synthesizes them. It also clarifies the relationship between structure and function, and studies methods for large-scale synthesis that are safe and low-cost.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping separation processes with porous materials
Zeolites and MOFs are used as adsorbents, separation membranes, and catalysts to help build energy-saving, highly efficient chemical processes.
*Illustrative imageProcesses that carry out reaction and separation at the same time
The lab carries out a chemical reaction and the separation of the target product at the same time, aiming to make reaction and separation processes more efficient. It works on topics such as reactions that convert CO2 into useful resources.
