Scope of Research

Our focuses are to synthesis functional materials including solid catalysts and to design the catalyst based on chemical & catalytic reaction engineering. We synthesize new materials, by which catalytic reaction processes are developed for solving the environmental/energy problems.

1. Synthesis of nano-zeolites and their application Zeolite, crystalline aluminosilicate, possesses solid acidity with ordered-microporous structure. Preparation for nano-zeolites with crystal size below 100 nm and their application to light olefin synthesis are examined.

2. Birdcage-type catalyst encapsulating metal nanoparticle Amorphous silica and zeolite are porous materials with the pore sizes of below 1.0 nm. Preparation of “Birdcage-type catalyst” encapsulating metal nanoparticles is examined.

3. Production of useful chemicals from untreated hydrocarbon resources Conversion of unused hydrocarbon resources into useful chemicals is one of the most important issues. Petrochemical-related useful chemicals are produced by catalytic decomposition and hydrocracking of the untreated hydrocarbon resources.
