Chihaya Adachi, Senior Professor

The Organic Photonics and Electronics Lab has led the world in pioneering the science and technology of organic EL (OLED), in which an electric current is passed through a thin film of organic compound about 0.1 micron thick to make it emit light. The lab has discovered the world's first electron-transport material, created thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules, which are regarded as third-generation OLED emitters, and developed organic semiconductor lasers. Recently, it has also taken on new research, such as thermoelectric devices using organic CT interfaces and molecules that combine two-photon absorption with TADF. Built on five foundational technologies (quantum chemical calculation, organic synthetic chemistry, device structure design, process control, and analysis of the physical properties of optical and electronic devices), the lab aims to integrate basic research in exciton engineering with applied research that produces materials and devices.
Takuma Yasuda, Professor

The Yasuda Lab studies how to create 'π-materials,' new organic materials with optical and electrical functions. The π electrons in a molecule are responsible for properties such as color, light emission, and how easily electric current flows, and a wide variety of functions can emerge depending on how the molecule is designed. A distinctive feature of the lab is that its members work across the whole process, from molecular design and synthesis to analysis of physical properties and evaluation of devices. The lab is part of Kyushu University's Institute for Advanced Study, and for graduate studies it belongs to the Department of Applied Chemistry in the Graduate School of Engineering. In the School of Engineering's list of labs, it appears as 'Advanced Functional Organic Chemistry Lab (Institute for Advanced Study).'
Katsuro Hayashi, Professor

The Applied Inorganic Chemistry Lab studies ceramic materials that contribute to the fields of energy, electronics, and the environment, from the broad perspectives of processing, applications, and material functions. The lab works on developing electrolytes and electrode materials for next-generation secondary batteries and creating piezoelectrics and ferroelectrics based on new mechanisms. It also explores ceramics whose functions originate from reactive anions, such as crystals with voids that incorporate anions. On the lab's website, the lab is introduced under the name "Katsuro Hayashi Lab".
Takanori Iwasaki, Professor

The Organic Functional Molecular Chemistry Lab makes new molecules through organic synthesis and aims to cause targeted reactions to occur selectively through catalyst design. Centered on transition metals, the lab combines a variety of elements across the periodic table to synthesize original molecules. Not bound by the conventional wisdom of organic chemistry, the lab is working on designing catalysts that select and react sites of low reactivity. The lab's website presents it under the name “Iwasaki Lab.”
Keiji Tanaka, Senior Professor

The Functional Materials Chemistry Lab aims to create new functions by understanding and controlling the structure and properties of organic polymer materials at the molecular level. As materials become smaller and thinner, the structure and properties of their surfaces and interfaces come to differ from those of the interior, so the lab works experimentally on understanding and controlling them. The lab conducts joint research with companies, research institutes, and universities, and uses large facilities such as synchrotron radiation and neutron sources when necessary. The lab's website presents it under the name “Tanaka Lab.”
Noritada Kaji, Professor

The Kaji Lab studies new bioanalytical technologies that measure biological substances and cells, using micro- and nanospaces made with microfabrication techniques from the semiconductor field. Toward the early detection of cancer and bacterial infections, the lab aims to develop analytical methods that place less burden on patients from blood sampling or biopsy. The lab's ultimate goal is to create Life-on-a-Chip, which artificially reproduces biological phenomena on a chip. This website belongs to Professor Kaji's group, the “Kaji Research Group.”
Tatsumi Ishihara, Professor

The Functional Materials Engineering Lab studies the development of materials for energy conversion technologies that are in harmony with the environment. The lab develops new oxygen-ion conductors for solid oxide fuel cells and also investigates lithium-ion secondary batteries. It also works on photocatalysts for producing hydrogen, catalytic processes such as hydrocarbon reforming reactions, and gas sensors for combustion control. Associate Professor Inada works on improving the functions of ceramic materials made by liquid-phase synthesis.
Yoshihito Shiota, Associate Professor

The Reaction and Property Theory Lab studies the electronic structures and chemical reactions of molecules and solids through theoretical calculations based on quantum mechanics. Its main research answers why a substance has a certain structure, what electronic properties it shows, and what reactions it undergoes, and theoretically designs substances with desirable properties. The lab does not conduct experiments; it carries out its research through computer calculations. On the lab's website, it is also introduced under the names "Yoshizawa Lab" and "Reaction Theory Lab."
Toshinori Matsushima, Professor

The Carbon Neutral Lab studies energy materials and devices such as solar cells, fuel cells, and photocatalysts toward realizing a carbon-neutral society. Its work includes research on perovskite solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity, and research on developing new organic materials for use in functional devices. There is also research that uses computer simulation to investigate the structures and properties of energy materials. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'I2CNER Lab.'
Tsuyohiko Fujigaya, Professor
0 student voices
The Molecular Information Systems Lab studies nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, from their fundamental physical properties to application development aimed at practical use. Combining polymer chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, organic chemistry, and theoretical chemistry, it aims to create materials with properties such as light absorption, light emission, ion and electron conduction, and biocompatibility. As a member of the WPI-I2CNER Electrochemical Energy Conversion Division, the lab also works on developing next-generation fuel cells. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Fujigaya Lab.'
