The lab creates energy materials through electroplating and mist-based processes.
AboutAbout the lab
Energy materials and how to make them
The Materials Process Science Lab studies new energy conversion and storage devices and materials, along with their manufacturing processes, for a sustainable future.
The lab works on electrochemistry-based batteries, surface treatment, and the formation of microstructures.
It is also developing methods to make semiconductor films for new electronic devices.
Key terms
- Electrodeposition
- Passing an electric current through a solution so that dissolved metals and other species deposit as a solid on the electrode surface. Also called electroplating.
- Ionic liquid
- A substance made up only of cations and anions that remains liquid even near room temperature.
- Perovskite solar cell
- A thin, lightweight next-generation solar cell that absorbs light using a material with the perovskite crystal structure.

ResearchResearch themes
The lab creates high-performance energy materials and develops their manufacturing processes using electrochemical, solution, high-temperature, and vacuum processes.
*Illustrative imageElectrodepositing metals from ionic liquids and similar baths
The lab electrodeposits metals that could not be electrodeposited from aqueous solutions, using non-aqueous electrolytic baths such as ionic liquids. It works on the electrodeposition of aluminum, chromium, and tungsten and on the synthesis of new ionic liquids, and is also developing aluminum batteries.
*Illustrative imagePorous aluminum with uniform pores
Making the aluminum foil used for lithium-ion battery cathodes porous is expected to enable fast charging and discharging and higher capacity. The lab is developing techniques to produce porous aluminum with finely controlled pore size and porosity.
*Illustrative imageMaking solar cell films with mist
The lab has established a method to produce high-quality perovskite films using mist deposition, which can coat large areas. It is also studying a process for making entire solar cells continuously, improved durability, and lead-free materials.
*Illustrative imageMaking single-crystal thin films at atmospheric pressure
The lab produces oxide single-crystal thin films by mist CVD, which can form high-quality films at atmospheric pressure. It aims to develop smart windows that regulate heat flow on their own according to temperature, as well as high-breakdown-voltage transistors.
MembersFaculty
