About us

Our laboratory aims to develop novel manufacturing techniques that can fully derive the intrinsic abilities (theoretical performance) of materials by utilizing aerosol and powder technologies.  We also analyze phenomena relevant to the techniques and explore novel materials using newly developed manufacturing techniques.  The current targets are energy- and environment-related materials (electrode materials for lithium secondary batteries, fuel cells, and solar cells, etc.).
