Element Strategy and Molecular Design Engineering

To realize a society that is both sustainable and economically efficient, the development of intelligent and high-value-added materials is very desirable. To this end, it is necessary to create new materials and functions that are unbound by existing frameworks, as well as to develop groundbreaking methods of design, synthesis, conversion, manufacture, and production.

In this group, we try to create new materials based on element strategies by looking at materials as aggregates of atoms and then manipulating specific elements. The group also promotes cross-disciplinary research that makes extensive use of experiments and simulations to design molecules and aggregates of molecules, with the aim of discovering new chemical reactions and functions. Focusing on the development of various future-oriented elemental technologies related to multi-scale physical properties, synthesis, and application of atoms, molecules, and their aggregates, we are trying to address the needs of pure science and real-world applications and to generate “seeds” for further R&D.
