Concept
Energy system design based on carbon and nitrogen cycling
In the Otomo Lab, we conduct transdisciplinary research on energy technologies from the perspectives of energy conversion chemistry and energy system design, spanning from fundamental research on constituent technologies to system-scale research. We are investigating chemical reactions and materials related to energy conversion and aim to integrate these into effective energy systems.
Our Research
Fundamental and transdisciplinary research:
from materials and reaction design to system creation
Based on materials designed for improved solid-state ionic and electronic conductivity, and the observation of interfacial ionic transport and chemical reactions, we are developing novel energy devices and systems such as high efficiency fuel cells and electrolysis cells. We further evaluate these low-carbon technologies based on their readiness for implementation to the society. Constructing diverse energy systems that would be compatible with the widespread use of renewable energies is essential to mitigate climate change and to provide a stable and diverse energy supply.
