The Functional Materials Lab researches how to bring out the functions and properties inherent in materials and put them to practical use. Using electron microscopes, it examines nanoscale structures and changes in special environments in structural materials for fusion reactors and in hydrogen-storage alloys. The lab also works on improving materials by irradiating them with high-energy particle beams to enhance their performance. The basic knowledge gained is applied to developing and improving materials.

The Multiscale Functional Integration Lab evaluates the inside of materials at the atomic level and aims to analyze their properties from the nano to the macro scale as a whole. Working closely with the Ultra-High Voltage Electron Microscope Laboratory, the lab also aims to develop materials analysis methods that combine various kinds of electron microscopes. Using these analysis techniques together with data mining, the lab develops new structural materials, semiconductor materials, and energy materials. Staff members also participate in the Leading Research Center for Green Transformation and the Semiconductor Frontier Education and Research Organization.

The Light and Heat Energy Conversion Materials Lab creates new materials for light energy conversion and thermoelectric energy conversion. Drawing on the diverse properties of matter from a materials science perspective, the lab aims for materials that are highly efficient and place a low burden on the environment. The main targets are photoelectric conversion in solar cells and light-emitting devices, optical device materials with photocatalytic properties, and oxide thermoelectric materials with unusual electron and heat transport. The research aims to produce materials with new functions that arise from nanostructures.

The lab is searching for materials and processes that can store and transport energy at high density and convert it efficiently. Its main themes include next-generation thermal energy storage materials for solar heat and industrial waste heat, an energy-saving process for producing oxygen, and a new ironmaking method that uses ammonia as a fuel. The lab is also researching how to produce fine ceramics, such as nitrides and oxynitrides, in a short time by combustion synthesis. Using exergy theory, the lab also works on designing systems in which the total sum of losses is minimized.
