Development of high-functional non-metal
From Nanomaterials to Advanced Functional Materials
In this field, we are challenging to create advanced multi-functional technologies (high-efficiency heteroatom doping techniques and heterogeneous material bonding technologies) at the nanoscale based on surface and interface design using non-metallic light elements such as carbon materials, as well as innovative high-performance environmental materials that are essential for next-generation clean energy fields related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as polymer electrolyte fuel cell catalysts, low-temperature ammonia fuel cell catalysts, and energy harvesting materials utilizing light, load, heat, and biomass.
Research theme
