We are developing novel electrode materials and electrolytes to enhance the performance of solid oxide fuel cells, which are gaining attention as a clean and efficient power generation system. Specifically, our focus lies on the utilization of biogas as a fuel. Additionally, we are working on the development of new separation materials that achieve efficient water/alcohol and oil/water separation with low energy consumption. This is accomplished by leveraging the unique pore structure of zeolites, the superhydrophilicity of titanium oxide photocatalysts, and the combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces.

• Development of new environmental purification materials based on inorganic layered materials

• Study on photocatalytic self-cleaning surfaces
