Takashima Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab designs materials by investigating how the way a material is made, its structure, and its properties are related.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing materials by properly understanding materials and their functions
The Takashima Lab investigates in detail the relationships among how a material is made, its structure, and its properties.
Even a small change in how a material is made can change its structure, and as a result its properties and functions can change greatly.
Its research themes include artificial photosynthesis reactions using photocatalysts and methods for measuring the surface structure of powder materials.
The lab was newly established in fiscal year 2025.
Key terms
- Photocatalyst
- A material that uses light energy to drive reactions such as splitting water.
- Artificial photosynthesis
- An energy conversion reaction that imitates photosynthesis in plants, using photocatalysts to split water and carry out similar reactions.
- Multi-electron transfer reaction
- A reaction that involves multiple electrons. It is included in artificial photosynthesis reactions and is a challenge in making high-performance photocatalysts.
ResearchResearch themes
Using its own measurement techniques and analysis methods, the lab investigates in detail the relationships among the synthesis method, structure, and properties (activity) of materials. It aims to bring out the desired performance and functions and to create materials that help solve energy and environmental problems.
Identifying the factors that govern artificial photosynthesis reactions
The lab deals with energy conversion reactions driven by photocatalysts, such as splitting water to produce hydrogen and oxygen. It tries to identify the "key" factors that determine the performance of multi-electron transfer reactions, which involve multiple electrons.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping new photocatalysts and synthesis processes
The lab investigates in detail the relationships among how a material is synthesized, the structure of the resulting material, and properties such as reaction activity, and works on developing new photocatalysts and ways to make them.
*Illustrative imageMethods for measuring the surface structure of semiconductor powders
Even when powder materials have the same crystal structure and size, their surface structures are not necessarily the same. The lab has developed a new measurement technique that can evaluate such differences macroscopically.
