Research Interests
Renewable energy resources and chemical raw materials are required to replace fossil fuel resources in order to realize sustainable energy systems and carbon recycling societies. I am studying photocatalytic or photoelectrochemical reactions using inexhaustible sunlight as an energy source such as hydrogen production from water and reduction of carbon dioxide are called artificial photosynthesis. The research focuses on the following themes.
(1) Development of photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical systems using inorganic materials such as semiconductors.
(2) Development of a new artificial photosynthesis system by combining different materials such as organic and inorganics.
(3) Examination for the creation of sustainable energy carriers by water splitting and reduction of carbon dioxide and their social implementation.
