Ordered Porous Materials Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab selectively makes zeolites and other ordered porous materials to help protect the environment.

AboutAbout the lab
Developing "ordered porous materials" that protect the environment
The Ordered Porous Materials Lab (Kubota-Inagaki Lab) studies the synthesis and applications of zeolites and ordered mesoporous materials.
Through these materials, the lab aims to contribute to solving resource, environmental, and energy problems and to achieving carbon neutrality.
Environmentally harmonious catalysts, green chemistry, the SDGs, and synthetic fuels are also treated as keywords.
Lab visits are accepted at any time, and the website asks those who wish to visit to get in touch beforehand.
Key terms
- Ordered porous materials
- Substances that have pores of uniform, organic-molecule size within a crystalline or nearly crystalline ordered structure.
- Molecular recognition
- The ability to distinguish the size and shape of organic molecules. Ordered porous materials show this ability through the structure of their pores.
- Environmentally harmonious
- An approach to chemical conversion that is environmentally friendly: it uses no toxic chemicals and produces no unnecessary waste.

ResearchResearch themes
Ordered porous materials are substances that have pores of uniform, organic-molecule size within a crystalline or nearly crystalline ordered structure; zeolites and mesoporous silica are examples. The lab develops new synthesis methods for ordered porous materials and conducts chemical research that forms the basis for environmentally friendly chemical conversion methods.
