Momma Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses electrochemistry to create next-generation batteries and sensors that measure health.
AboutAbout the lab
Storing electricity and measuring signals from the body
Based on the principles of electrochemistry, the Momma Lab develops materials for next-generation energy storage devices and designs batteries.
It also aims to establish a technique for diagnosing battery degradation using AC impedance spectroscopy.
Another pillar of the lab is the development of biosensing devices that can help assess health conditions.
A distinctive feature of the lab is that it handles everything from material design to device structure, fabrication methods, and evaluation methods.
Key terms
- Secondary battery
- A battery that can be recharged and used repeatedly. Lithium-ion batteries are the representative example and are used in cars and portable devices.
- AC impedance spectroscopy
- A measurement that applies a rapidly alternating electrical signal to a battery and reads what is happening inside from how the signal returns.
- Biosensor
- A mechanism that captures molecules related to the body and reports their amount by converting it into an electrical signal.

Electrochemical reactions exchange chemical energy and electrical energy directly, and they are at the core of energy storage and power generation devices. Building on these reactions, the lab pursues research along two pillars: next-generation secondary batteries and electrochemical sensors that read the state of the body.
*Illustrative imageNext-generation secondary batteries
With the spread of electric vehicles and drones, energy densities beyond those of current lithium-ion batteries are needed. The lab studies batteries that use lithium metal negative electrodes and sulfur positive electrodes, as well as batteries that use ions other than lithium as charge carriers.
*Illustrative imageBiosensing
For early detection of disease and collection of healthcare data, the lab develops electrochemical sensors that measure the amounts of molecules related to the body. It works on sensors, including transistor-type sensors, that convert molecular adsorption, redox reactions, and enzymatic reactions into electrical signals.
