Outline

Attention worldwide is focused on environmental and energy issues, and our group aims to establish novel principles of materials sciences addressing these problems, through the development of unprecedented functional materials with precisely controlled structures and properties at the molecular to nanoscale levels. The main research subjects include (1) the development of water-based materials as alternatives to conventional plastics, and (2) the design of unprecedented organic thin-film solar cells with efficient photovoltaic output. To achieve these missions, the three research teams involved cooperate closely and actively.
