  • Synthetic processing of multicomponent substances for all-solid-state batteries

Hydrogen Industry


  • Metal-based high-density hydrogen storage materials
  • CO2 emissions reduction: Novel chemical processes for hydrogen co-production

Semiconductor and Information Communication Industries


  • New materials and measurement technologies for magnetoresistive non-volatile memory
  • Photonic integrated circuits using synthetic dimensions and topological edge states


Resource Recycling Industry


  • Highly efficient heat pump with natural refrigerants using nanoporous materials
  • Chemical looping processes by low-temperature hydrocarbon reforming

Co-creation Research Center

The Co-creation Research Center is a liaison point between the university and companies that was established in the university and provides cross-departmental access to university researchers, knowledge, and facilities. This enables the planning and promotion of joint research, human resource development, and the promotion of a variety of collaborative activities, including partnerships with university-launched ventures.
