A lab that designs electrochemical devices such as batteries and sensors, starting from the materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Extracting energy with low environmental impact
The Hibino-Nagao Lab works on "materials and system design" to make electrochemical devices such as batteries, fuel cells, gas sensors, and reactors highly efficient.
The background is that global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels call for the rapid spread of new energy sources and for technologies with a small environmental burden.
Recently, the lab has focused on carbon-neutral biomass resources and studies how to extract energy from them with low environmental impact.
Its research themes also include hydrogen production from waste biomass and plastics with power generation in fuel cells, and carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).
Key terms
- Electrochemical device
- A device that exchanges energy between chemical reactions and electricity, such as batteries, fuel cells, and some gas sensors
- Fuel cell
- A device that reacts a fuel such as hydrogen with oxygen and converts the chemical energy directly into electricity
- Carbon neutral
- A state in which the carbon dioxide emitted and the carbon dioxide absorbed balance out to net zero
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops materials such as ion conductors and electrochemical catalysts, which are central to electrochemical devices, and applies them to devices such as fuel cells. Recently, it has been studying how to extract energy from carbon-neutral biomass resources with low environmental impact.
