Environmental & Energy Materials Laboratory
Our laboratory is promoting research and development on creating materials that will contribute to the society especially in environment and energy field. We are engaged in development of materials for Li-ion batteries and next-generation batteries. Also, seeking technologies to solve environmental issues of the future by focusing on the keywords ‘low environmental load’, ‘power generation’, ‘power storage’, and ‘power electronics’. We are challenging to solve the environment and energy issues by utilizing the material technology fostered in the fields of electronics and IT materials.
Major Research Themes
Conductive additive for Lithium-ion battery (Graphene)
Graphene is a material expected to be applied to a wide range of fields, including next-generation electronics, owing to its peculiar features such as thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, light weight, and mechanical strength. In addition to developing manufacturing technologies for mass production, ADEKA is also focusing on development of Graphene powder for Li-ion batteries.
