Molecular Aggregation Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab creates next-generation solar cells from new π-conjugated systems.
AboutAbout the lab
Fundamental chemistry born from the needs of society.
The Molecular Aggregation Analysis Lab (Wakamiya Lab) upholds the principle of “Needs Inspired Fundamental Science” and works on the chemistry of new π-conjugated systems, the creation of functional π-electron systems that take advantage of the properties of elements, and the development of next-generation solar cells as printable electronics.
In particular, the lab takes on the materials chemistry of perovskite solar cells and their practical application.
Key terms
- Perovskite solar cell
- A next-generation solar cell that uses a material with the perovskite crystal structure and can be made by coating.
- Tin
- A metal used in place of lead in perovskite solar cells.
- Monolayer
- A film that is only one molecule thick.
- Fluoride-ion battery
- A next-generation battery in which fluoride ions move back and forth between the electrodes.

ResearchResearch themes
From the chemistry of new π-conjugated systems and of materials that take advantage of the properties of elements, the lab develops printable electronics such as perovskite solar cells.
*Illustrative imageTin-based perovskite solar cells
Aiming for higher efficiency in lead-free tin-based perovskite solar cells, the lab studies the relationship between composition and properties using high-purity raw materials, fullerene derivatives as electron-transport materials, and chlorostannylene complexes that refine the surface.
*Illustrative imageMonolayers that collect charge
In perovskite solar cells, the lab studies materials for monolayers that collect holes or electrons (molecules containing squaric acid or thiazolidinone), as well as the design of the counteranions of salts used for surface modification.
*Illustrative imageElectrolytes for fluoride-ion batteries
The lab develops ionic liquids for fluoride-ion batteries that operate at room temperature, and propylene carbonate-based liquid electrolytes with improved chemical stability (joint research).
