About ABC
Greeting from Director
The Advanced Battery Collaboration aims to create a safe and secure society where clean energy is accessible to everyone and essential goods, services, and information reach every individual and community's corners through the research and development of next-generation batteries with various applications and performances.
To maximize energy density, the inside of the battery is densely packed with materials, and electrode reactions and material transport occur under conditions where substances, heat, and stress are unevenly distributed in a confined space. Our research center aims to establish the academic principles necessary to comprehend and control these complex physicochemical phenomena and their hierarchy at multiple scales. Based on these fundamental events, we will design innovative batteries. Furthermore, by creating analysis and development design protocols for batteries that allow for diverse performances—such as voltage, output, energy density, and lifespan—we aim to design versatile storage batteries that will enable a clean energy society where people, objects, environments, and data are interconnected.
Research Structure
At this research center, we integrate cutting-edge measurement, computational science, data platforms, and smart laboratories to develop technologies that enable a hierarchical understanding of multi-scale physicochemical phenomena at the material, electrode (three-dimensional structure), and cell levels in various next-generation batteries, including advanced lithium-ion batteries. These technologies will allow for highly accurate predictions of performance, lifespan, and safety. Leveraging these technologies, we will design battery structures that maximize the characteristics of high-performance new materials developed through industry-academia-government collaboration, thereby accelerating the development of batteries that meet diverse societal needs and requirements.
