About

We are currently facing a number of issues related to the environment and energy, such as global warming and associated climate change. In our laboratory, we are developing new materials that can contribute to society through materials chemistry from the viewpoint of “ubiquitous”. The word “ubiquitous” means “existing anywhere and anytime. There are many resources on this planet that exist everywhere. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and light from the sky are available everywhere on earth. These have great potential as a carbon source and energy source. With “nano” as our keyword, we aim to develop nanomaterials whose size and structure are designed from the molecular level to the nano size, and to explore the new field of carbon-neutral chemistry for the effective utilization of this ubiquitous material and energy.
