Materials Chemistry in Extreme Environments Lab

AboutAbout the lab

Creating materials that withstand harsh environments

The Tsuchiya Lab studies the processes by which metallic materials corrode and oxidize in aqueous solutions and high-temperature environments, and develops materials that withstand such environments.
Using electrochemistry, surface analysis instruments, and computational science, the lab investigates how material surfaces function in terms of electronic structure, optical properties, and biocompatibility.
The lab also works on creating structure-controlled material surfaces by controlling the interaction between materials and their environments through electrochemical processes.

ResearchResearch themes

The Tsuchiya Lab conducts electrochemistry-based research on energy, resource saving, and solutions to environmental problems, aiming to build a sustainable society. Against the background that material degradation and damage in increasingly diverse and harsh environments have become social problems, the lab studies corrosion and oxidation of metallic materials and materials that resist them.

Ratings and reviews reflect the experiences of individual current or former students, not the lab's official views. Whether a lab has reviews, or how many, says nothing about the lab itself.

Students who take part in an interview may receive a thank-you gift worth ¥1,000, regardless of what they say.
