We developed a chemical cell type of photovoltaic cell using its photochemical reactions. These photovoltaic cells can accumulate the energy of light (solar rays) as anion radicals of fullerene (C.-60, i.e., C60 with an extra electron), which means they can not only generate power but also accumulate electric energy, different from the conventional physical type of photovoltaic cells made with silicon. We intend to put these photovoltaic cells to practical use, helping to effectively utilize solar energy.Green chemistry through use of hydroxyapatiteWe research synthesis of inorganic compounds based on environmental-friendly industrial chemistry, considering the reuse of resources, lowering the environmental burden of synthetic processes, and purifying the global environment, and we evaluate the functionalities of the compounds. Synthesizing novel π-electron system compounds and investigating their functionalitiesApplication of π-electron system compounds is anticipated in various areas as inorganic functional materials. We design and synthesize novel π-electron system compounds with non-benzenoid aromatic rings or heterocyclic rings, and develop substances that function responding to light, electrons, or ions, such as electrochromic materials, fluorescent materials, and responsive hosts to oxidation-reduction reaction.Investigating nanospace by using X-raysPorous materials with extremely small pores with diameters of 1 nm (the size of 3 to 4 water molecules) are attracting attention because of their function of condensing molecules inside their pores under mild conditions closed to normal temperature and pressure and which can be utilized for storage of energetic molecules and removal of SHINSHU UNIVERSITY GRADUATE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S PROGRAM013For example, a large amount of plasterboards are disposed of at construction sites, but they might emit highly toxic hydrogen sulfide gases. We can reuse plasterboards by dissolving them in an aqueous solution with a low environmental burden and inducing deposition reactions to synthesize hydroxyapatite, a type of calcium phosphate, which does not contain sulfur. Hydroxyapatite is also useful as an adsorbent for environmental pollutants, such as heavy metal ions, including 90Sr ions, which remain in the aftermath of the nuclear power plant incident in Fukushima. We conduct fundamental research on the synthesis process of calcium phosphate in aqueous solutions, aiming to obtain higher functionalities.harmful substances. Molecules trapped in such a small space exhibit extraordinarily peculiar behavior. We are developing new measuring equipment and methodologies employing X-ray diffraction to directly investigate the behavior and alignment of those molecules.ShioriTabataStarted in 2013 / Dr. Ohki's LabI'm researching coordination complexes. Occasionally, my research goes in the wrong direction, but when I'm confronted with problems, I investigate them thoroughly. It is a great pleasure to solve the problems by myself. Also, I believe that the fascination of the graduate school of science is that we can research what we are interested in; this may not link directly to the development of products but may help achieve something in the future. For those who are thinking of going on to graduate school, encourage yourself to understand, because curiosity drives us the most.Think and experiment- Explore the world of molecules and molecular aggregates.This department fosters talented individuals who can contribute to building a society realizing sustainable growth through fundamental research on structures, properties, and functions of molecules and molecular aggregates, and their responsiveness and reactivity to stimuli.RecentCareerPaths
