33Fiber Materials EngineeringMaking fuel cells a more familiar energy systemDepartment of Chemistry and MaterialsI am developing two types of fuel cells that do not use platinum, which is expensive, as a catalyst. One is a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that operates at high temperatures. The other is polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) that uses a non-platinum catalyst, specifically silk-derived activated carbon. Reaction activity and transport phenomena for gas, ions, and electrons in the electrodes are important in both cases, and I am working to develop new materials and to optimize the electrode structure.Hiroshi FukunagaAssociate ProfessorAssociate Professor Fukunaga took his current position in 2009 after serving in the Faculty of Textile Science and Technology at Shinshu University as an assistant professor. His principal areas of research include chemical engineering and electrochemistry as regards solid oxide and polymer electrolyte fuel cells.Fuel cells are a dream technology that can extract energy eciently. A growingarray of applications use fuel cells in large-scale power plants, in residential and automotive power systems, and as a power source for portable devices and articial organs.Outlook for researchChemical engineering can be put to use in a wide range of domains, including chemicals, electricity and electronics, automobiles, and energy.Outlook for students after graduationA power-generating device that uses a solid oxide fuel cellAn electrode for a solid polymer fuel cell that my lab created信州大学HOME大学施設について 交通・キャンパス案内 願書・資料請求 OME繊維学部について学部案内大学院教育研究プロジェクト・プログラム産学官連携入試情報受験生の方へ企業・団体の方へ一般の方へ卒業生の方へ在学生の方へ教員氏名職名所属研究分野SOAR福長　博准教授材料化学工学課程反応工学・プロセスシステム電気化学研究者総覧（SOAR）を見るホーム 繊維学部について 教員紹介 福長　博一言コメント高価な貴金属を使わない燃料電池の電極について、構造を最適化することで効率を高めるための研究を行っています。燃料電池の材料と化学と工学福長博研究室では、エネルギー問題や環境問題に対する解決策として、高効率でクリーンな発電システムや自然エネルギーを利用する研究を行っています。現在は、高温型の固体酸化物形燃料電池（SOFC）や低温型の固体高分子形燃料電池（PEFC）を扱っており、その性能向上のために、新規材料の開発とともに、物質移動や反応の律速過程といった化学工学的な視点から電極構造の最適化に取り組んでいます。また、シルクを原料として、白金を用いない電極の製造に関する研究も行っています。繊維学部について学部長挨拶理念と目標系・課程・専攻の構成教員紹介キャンパス内施設・組織沿革キャンパスマップお問い合わせ リンク サイトマップ 反応工学・プロセスシステム、電気化学を研究しています研究紹介Energy and material uses of biomass resources. Optimizing catalytic reactions is the key to practical application.Catalytic activity test reactorCatalysts and reaction products from microalgae. The products can be used as gasoline additive.Fiber Materials EngineeringRealizing a sustainable society through the effective utilization of biomass resourcesDepartment of Chemistry and MaterialsVarious biomass resources such as lipid, wood, and microalgae have potential as sustainable alternative fuels. However, it is essential to improve the efficiency of conversion to realize the energy utilization of biomass resources. Our laboratory aims to efficiently convert biomass resources to high-grade fuels and chemical raw materials using an inexpensive process. We are working on the elucidation of catalytic reaction mechanism and design of new catalyst to achieve these goals.Iori SHIMADA LecturerIori Shimada graduated from The University of Tokyo and obtained his doctorate in environmental studies in 2013. He took his current position in 2018 after working as a research fellow at the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and an Assistant Professor at Faculty of Textile Science and Technology, Shinshu University. His specialty is chemical reaction engineering.My goal is to help develop a society powered by clean and sustainable energy that does not rely on exhaustible resources such as fossil fuels. Further, I hope to develop methods for synthesizing useful substances using biomass to replace the many chemical products that are currently synthesized from oil resources.Outlook for researchChemical engineering can be useful in various elds of manufacturing including chemicals, energy, materials, plant engineering and so on. In our laboratory, we want to acquire knowledge of chemical reaction engineering as well as wear it through research on how to utilize the knowledge.Outlook for students after graduation
