The Solid-State Energy Chemistry Lab focuses on developing next-generation battery materials. In addition to improving the performance of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the lab is working on new batteries that use abundant, familiar elements such as sodium and iron. The lab carries out its research through joint research with companies in Japan and abroad and international collaboration with a variety of universities and research institutions.

The Coordination Chemistry Lab focuses on transition metal elements and works on research into metal complex catalysts and solid catalysts. The lab lists coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and synthetic organic chemistry as its research fields. Its keywords include common metal elements, homogeneous molecular catalysts, activation of inert bonds, element strategy, and green chemistry.

The Organic Chemistry Lab uses synthetic organic chemistry to study photochemistry and supramolecular chemistry. The lab designs and synthesizes organic molecules that do not exist in nature, and pursues the synthesis of molecules and the elucidation of their functions in parallel. It focuses in particular on molecules with functions related to luminescence and chirality. Lab visits by undergraduate students of the Department of Chemistry and Life Science are accepted at any time.

The Photofunctional Chemistry Lab studies the development of functional materials, and the science behind them, drawing on photochemistry, organic chemistry, and polymer chemistry. The lab focuses on light-responsive materials that take advantage of the flexible properties of organic compounds and polymer compounds. The lab aims to create new materials by using the phenomenon in which photoreactions at the micro- and nanometer scale change the structure of molecules and thereby alter their physical properties. The lab's research keywords include photoreaction, photochromism, surface relief, liquid crystals, self-assembly, and chirality.

The Photophysical Chemistry Lab studies methods to suppress the generation itself of singlet oxygen produced by photosensitization reactions. Singlet oxygen is a reactive oxygen species with strong oxidizing power, and it is known to be deeply involved in the oxidation of lipids in food, the photoaging of skin, and the photodegradation of materials. The lab develops molecules that suppress the generation of singlet oxygen when biological molecules such as riboflavin absorb light, and investigates the elementary processes through which this suppression occurs. Associate Professor Azusa Kikuchi's areas of expertise are photophysical chemistry, photochromism, and organic UV absorbers.

The Physical Organic Chemistry and Molecular Design Lab conducts data-driven research at the intersection of chemistry and information science. Aiming to accelerate the discovery and design of new molecules and materials, the lab organizes information on chemical structures and works to make it available to people around the world. Based on the ideas of physical organic chemistry, the lab works on the design of molecules and reactions by combining experiments, quantum chemical calculations, and machine learning. The lab's website introduces it under the name "POCLab."

The Advanced Environmental Measurement Chemistry Lab works in the fields of environmental measurement chemistry, microbeam analysis, microscale materials analysis, and mass spectrometry. The mass spectrometer that the lab developed, equipped with an ion attachment ionization option unit, began operating in June 2024 and is available for demonstration measurements. The lab belongs to the Division of Natural Environment and Information of the Faculty of Environment and Information Sciences, the Department of Artificial Environment of the Graduate School of Environment and Information Sciences, and the Chemistry Education Program of the Department of Chemistry and Life Science in the Faculty of Engineering Science at Yokohama National University. The lab accepts inquiries and visits at any time, and asks that you first contact it by email.

The Molecular Assembly Chemistry Lab studies phenomena that appear when molecules gather in regular or organized arrangements, and that cannot be seen in individual molecules. The lab takes a wide range of approaches, from molecular design and synthesis to the construction of precise assemblies, evaluation of physical properties, and theoretical analysis. Building on the molecular design capabilities of organic chemistry, the lab explores ordered structures in solids and the electronic properties that arise from them, from the perspective of solid-state physical chemistry. The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Fujino Lab."

The Biomimetic Chemistry Lab studied solar cells made with a material called perovskite. Most perovskite solar cells have a multilayer structure that includes a charge transport layer made of relatively expensive materials. The lab studied a structure in which the perovskite layer is anchored to the electrode surface by the molecular chains of a self-assembled monolayer, eliminating the charge transport layer, which promises low cost and good durability. Lecturer Sakomura's fields of expertise are physical chemistry and surface science.

The Biomass Resource Chemistry Lab studies upcycling, which puts agricultural and food waste to use as resources. The lab extracts cellulose nanofibers from waste such as spent coffee grounds and examines their structure and properties. It also works on Pickering emulsions stabilized by these nanofibers.
