For expanding the use of renewable energy, conversion to fuel suitable for large-scale transportation and storage is useful. In particular, I am conducting research on the construction of artificial photosynthesis systems that convert solar energy into hydrogen or hydrogen carriers using water as a hydrogen source, and semiconductor photocatalysts and photoelectrodes used for them. Specifically, we are examining the following themes.
(1) Development of near infrared response photocatalyst and photoelectrode
(2) Development of membrane integrated photocatalyst sheet directly producing hydrogen carrier
(3) Construction of a new water splitting reaction system
