Creation of catalysts in terms of metallurgy and exploration of alloys with novel structures

The research of our laboratory is focused on creation of catalytic materials with excellent properties in terms of metallurgy and exploration of alloys with novel structures. The main research theme is to design and fabricate metallic materials with novel catalytic functions. We will create a catalytic material with a unique structure and morphology that cannot be obtained using conventional chemical methods. We will also study about the synthesis and structure of quasicrystal related intermetallic compounds, to take advantage of the knowledge gained as the basis of novel catalyst development.

Themes

• Creation of novel catalytic materials using intermetallic compounds and their microstructure control
• Metallurgy for structured metallic catalysts
• Research on precious metals alternative alloys
• Novel creation, structural analysis, and physical property evaluation of hypermaterials
• Electronic structure and structural stabilization mechanism of quasicrystal-related materials
