The lab assembles molecules to create energy materials.
AboutAbout the lab
Assembling atoms and molecules like building blocks.
The Molecular Nanoengineering Lab (Sakaguchi Lab) conducts research in nanoscience and nanotechnology, assembling atoms and molecules to create energy materials with high functionality and efficiency.
The lab reacts and assembles organic source molecules on a substrate surface to develop new materials that have not existed before.
The lab also evaluates the physical properties of these new materials and works on applying them to devices such as transistors and solar cells.
Key terms
- Graphene nanoribbon
- A sheet of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons, shaped into a thin ribbon
- Conductive polymer
- A plastic that conducts electricity
- On-surface synthesis
- Synthesis in which molecules are reacted and linked together on a surface such as a metal

*Illustrative imageMolecular nanoscience and nanotechnology
The lab assembles atoms and molecules like building blocks to create materials with functions and efficiencies never achieved before, aiming to apply them to highly efficient transistors, solar cells, energy storage devices, and photocatalysts.
*Illustrative imageSingle-molecule wires of conductive polymers
Using its own electrochemical epitaxial polymerization method, the lab assembled single-molecule wires of a conductive polymer, a plastic that conducts electricity, on a metal surface.
*Illustrative imageSynthesis of ultranarrow carbon wires
Using its own radical-polymerization-type chemical vapor deposition method, the lab synthesizes ultranarrow graphene nanoribbons on surfaces. Through self-assembly and polymerization of designed precursors, the lab has also succeeded in synthesizing chiral graphene nanoribbons.
