Watanabe Lab

We are conducting research into functional devices that utilize the characteristics of organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

Research

Photocatalysis

We are developing functional materials that realize chemical conversion reactions using sunlight. Water splitting: Development of complete water splitting and visible/near infrared light responsive materials using organic-inorganic hybrid materials Hydrogen peroxide synthesis: Development of sunlight responsive hydrogen peroxide production materials using organic semiconductor materials Carbon dioxide reduction: Carbon dioxide reduction reaction using new functional organic materials

Photoelectrochemistry
