Practical design of catalytic processes under industrial conditions having catalyst deactivation,
residence time distribution, etc in their reaction system.
Studies on mass and heat transfer through porous materials such as catalytic layers and membranes and modelling of chemical processes using them.
Analysis of relationship between microstructure and elementary steps of chemical reaction and design of optimized structure of energy devises
Fundamental understanding of nano-sized materials by molecular chemistry
Fluorination of carbon materials, their electrochemcal applications and preparation of composite materials using nano-carbons.
Catalytic Synthesis of Inorganic and Inorgnic-organic Composite Materials
Studies on synthesizing processes for inorganic materials, especially synthesis and structure control of electro-conductive oxides on the catalytic aspects
Electron transfer at organic/inorganic interface and electron transport in the mixed phases.
Fabrication of organic-inorganic nano-hybrids for controlling endothermic chemical process and their application to photocatalyst and solar cells
Nano-sized advanced functional materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion.
For the purpose of fostering advanced but fundamental scholarship and profound expert
knowledge, this seminar will be held to carry out exercises concerning the field directly
related to the tasks for study.
In order to make students participate in seminars with attendance of teaching staff and
students of the different but related major fields of study invited from the other chairs or other fields so that respective own research can be developed to the other fields other than the particular major field, this seminar will be held to foster abilities to extend to develop or challenge to the other field.
Under the Chief Guidance Teaching Staff and Vise-Guidance Teaching Staffs, to actively
make research on the theme of study which is decided through discussion with the Chief
Guidance Teaching Staff and to make publication (doctoral thesis).
Students may be trained practically in any public agency and business enterprise if effectiveness on education is recognized.
