AboutAbout the lab
Designing catalysts at the atomic and molecular level
The Catalytic Materials Lab researches the development of nanostructured catalysts, which are essential for the energy resource revolution driven by CO2 utilization technologies and hydrogen utilization technologies.
The lab aims to create catalysts precisely designed at the level of atoms and molecules to suit the target reaction.
Combining catalyst design, metallic materials science, advanced structural analysis techniques, and theoretical calculations, the lab pursues research without being bound by existing concepts.
Its goal is to create ultra-highly active, practical functional catalysts that contribute to energy generation and the solution of environmental problems.
Key terms
- Nanostructured catalysts
- A catalyst precisely designed at the level of atoms and molecules to suit the target reaction
- CO2 utilization technology
- Technology that uses carbon dioxide as a resource
ResearchResearch themes
To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, CO2 utilization technologies and hydrogen utilization technologies will play a central role. The lab believes that developing nanostructured catalysts is indispensable to achieving this energy resource revolution.
