AboutAbout the lab
Investigating catalyst surfaces with quantum beams
The Miwa Lab studies the surfaces of catalysts related to fuel cells and hydrogen.
The lab carries out operando measurements, using synchrotron radiation X-rays to examine the platinum catalysts of fuel cells while they are generating power.
The lab also analyzes catalysts using muons.
Key terms
- Catalyst
- A substance that helps a chemical reaction proceed more easily. This lab works with materials such as the platinum used in fuel cells.
- Operando measurement
- A method of measuring a device or material in its actual working state, while it is operating.
- Muon
- A type of elementary particle. Here, it is used in measurements that examine the state of catalysts.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab uses quantum beams, such as synchrotron radiation and muons, to study what happens on the surfaces of catalysts related to fuel cells and hydrogen. Titanium oxide surfaces and gold nanoclusters are also listed among its research keywords.
