The Ordered Porous Materials Lab (Kubota-Inagaki Lab) studies the synthesis and applications of zeolites and ordered mesoporous materials. Through these materials, the lab aims to contribute to solving resource, environmental, and energy problems and to achieving carbon neutrality. Environmentally harmonious catalysts, green chemistry, the SDGs, and synthetic fuels are also treated as keywords. Lab visits are accepted at any time, and the website asks those who wish to visit to get in touch beforehand.

The Soft Matter Ionics Materials Lab conducts research to create new functional materials, based on polymer chemistry and electrochemistry. Focusing on electrolytes (ionic liquids), polymer gels, and colloidal dispersions, the lab makes materials that control the movement of ions and electrons and is advancing their application to next-generation energy conversion and storage devices. The lab carries out its research with the aim of “realizing a sustainable society through materials innovation.” The lab aims to be a place that develops the ability to do independent, original, and creative research.

The Polymer Chemistry Lab researches the development of polymers with high performance and functions, making use of properties unique to polymers. Based on polymer chemistry and organic chemistry, the lab pursues both basic research and applications. So far, the lab has developed high-performance network polymers (thermosetting resins), photosensitive polymers, and polymers with molecular recognition ability. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Oyama Lab.”

The Biophysical Chemistry and Structural Life Chemistry Lab uses a measurement method called solid-state NMR to clarify the three-dimensional structures and dynamics that biomolecules need in order to function, aiming to understand how biomolecules work at the molecular level. In addition, the lab designs and synthesizes new molecules and examines their structures and physical properties, aiming to develop functional biomaterials with functions and performance not found in nature. Recent topics are microbial rhodopsin, antimicrobial peptides, self-assembling peptides, and cellulose nanofibers. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name “Kawamura Lab.”

The Biophysical Chemistry and Structural Life Chemistry Lab studies the highly specific intermolecular interactions that underlie the functions of biological macromolecules. The lab mainly uses solution NMR, combining its own sample preparation and NMR structure analysis techniques with physical chemistry methods such as particle measurement and calorimetry, as well as computational methods such as AI. It investigates biological functions from two sides: analysis of the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules, and the equilibrium and kinetics of dissociation and association. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kojima Lab."

The Advanced Ceramics Lab aims to create advanced ceramics and composite materials that contribute to the environment, energy, and information devices. The lab studies how to elucidate and control powder processes, including particle synthesis, dispersion, forming, sintering, and machining, in a more scientific way rather than relying on intuition and experience. It holds that establishing methods of making materials while improving mechanical reliability, that is, making components harder to fracture, is essential. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Tatami-Iijima Lab."

The Electrochemistry Lab studies the structures, properties, and reactions of the ions, molecules, functional inorganic materials, and functional organic materials that make up electrochemical devices. The lab researches and develops new electrode materials and electrolytes, aiming to further improve the performance of lithium-ion secondary batteries and to realize next-generation batteries with revolutionary performance. While valuing the fundamentals of the discipline, the lab hopes to pursue original and creative research from a broad perspective, including applications of materials in devices. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Dokko-Tatara Lab."
Yujiro Hoshino, Professor

The Organic Synthetic Chemistry Lab studies methods for synthesizing bioactive organic compounds and functional organic compounds that enrich daily life. Because new reactions are essential for making target compounds, the lab develops highly selective synthetic methods, works on asymmetric synthesis, and searches for new reactions. The lab started in April 2021 as the Hoshino Lab. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Hoshino Lab."
Shinya Matsumoto, Professor

The Chemistry and Environmental Education Lab studies the optical properties of functional dyes and molecular crystals, as well as environmental education that incorporates life cycle thinking. The lab investigates how aggregates and crystals formed by assemblies of dye molecules interact with light. In environmental education, the lab studies how teaching materials based on life cycle thinking can be used in the "Period for Integrated Inquiry-Based Learning" in schools. Prof. Matsumoto belongs to the Artificial Environment and Information Division of the Faculty of Environment and Information Sciences.

The Cooperative Catalysis Lab aims to create new catalysts and new modes of catalysis, and to develop environmentally benign chemical reactions based on them. The lab develops new types of catalysts in which metal complexes, organic molecules, and functional groups on support surfaces act cooperatively in catalysis, enabling faster reactions, one-pot synthesis, and the activation of inert molecules and bonds. Not confined to the divide between immobilized (heterogeneous) catalysts and molecular (homogeneous) catalysts, the lab aims to create catalysts that go beyond conventional concepts of catalysis, for highly efficient fine chemicals synthesis and the conversion of diverse resources into chemical products. On the lab's website, it is presented under the name "Motokura Lab."
