Development of high-performant battery materials by combining reliable insights from various perspectives
To achieve the 2050 carbon neutrality goal, advancing the performance of energy storage devices is an urgent priority. Rechargeable batteries based on ubiquitous elements such as magnesium and calcium as core materials are expected to have low geopolitical risks and, by leveraging multi-electron reactions, are anticipated to enable high-capacity storage.
The Frontier Battery Materials Group focuses on such multivalent metal batteries, and is engaged in the design and development of electrodes, electrolytes, and their interfaces. By delaminating battery characteristics into their constituent elements from the perspectives of solution chemistry, structural chemistry, and solid-state chemistry, we establish design principles and realize promising materials for high-performant battery applications using organic, inorganic, and nanomaterial synthesis technologies.
