| Professor Yasuo Izumi | Utilizing the reactiity of solid surface, sustainable chemistry is explored. If CO2 can be converted into fuels and/or raw chemicals by the irradiation of light, new carbon-neutral cycle is created. Such photocatalysts are developed and the photocatalysts are used in solar cell. In order to explore new surface reaction, it is ultimately important to understand dynamic, complex reaction steps on surface and then feedbak to the development of new surface reaction. The transformation of reactant molecle(s) is monitored by the state-of-the-art spectrscopy. e.g. IR is as well as surface sites to proceed such reaction steps are also monitored in real time by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, etc. It is also effective to analyze the reaction path using isotope-labelling while elementary reaction steps are also folled by density-functional theory calculations along the reactio coordinate. |

When a material is irradiated with light (mainly X-rays) or electrons, electrons are emitted. To understand the interactions between X-rays, electrons, and materials, as well as the movement of the emitted electrons, we perform the theoretical calculations using quantum mechanics (Niki). We study structure/electronic structure of materials using X-ray and electron spectroscopy. We are also interested in developing methods of analyzing EXAFS/XANES spectra (Konishi). | |

| Molecular Nanochemistry | Assoc Prof Tomonori Ohba | Our research group is aimed to understand the molecular properties in nanospaces and interfaces at the molecular level. The underlying theme of our works is to develop nanotechnology and nanocatalysts. Currently our interest is focused on adsorption mechanism in nanospaces and on low-dimensional nanomaterials, separation using graphene-related materials, developing carbon dioxide reduction catalysts, and various simulations to clarify the molecular dynamics, reactions, and nanostructures. |
