Massive energy storage in rechargeable batteries is the key technology in achieving a green sustainable society founded upon seamlessly integrated renewable energies and in ensuring on-demand energy supply at times of disaster. To deploy this technology swiftly, electrode/electrolyte materials must be redesigned with an eye toward excluding minor and expensive elements and minimizing the risks of fires and toxicity.

This project is committed to the research and development of safe and secure rechargeable batteries. Our recent achievements include: the discovery of new functional electrode materials composed only of common elements; the development of fire-extinguishing organic electrolytes; the creation of a new class of safe water-based electrolytes; and the elucidation and functionalization of electrode/electrolyte interphases. Further fundamental and applied researches are in progress based on experiments and theoretical calculations.
