Our objective is to leverage the knowledge of solid-state chemistry and various synthesis techniques to create novel ceramic functional materials and integrate them into functional devices. By doing so, we aim to make significant contributions to the fields of environment, energy, and electronics. Ceramics, which are environmentally friendly materials derived from abundant resources, possess excellent chemical stability and a wide range of functional properties. Our goal is to explore their applications in a harmonious manner. The composition of these materials encompasses elements from the entire periodic table. Through the utilization of advanced analysis and information technologies, we strive to search for, design, and comprehend superior materials among a diverse range of candidates with varying chemical compositions and crystal structures. These discoveries are anticipated to pave the way for the development of next-generation batteries, capacitors, and other functional devices.
