  • Molecular dynamics and phase transition in organic and organometallic crystals

  • Crystal engineering using intermolecular interactions

  • Intercalation chemistry of inorganic layered compounds
    Inorganic layered materials such as graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) and molybdenum(IV) sulfide (MoS2) are expected for several applications, for example, electrochemical devices, catalysts, superconducting materials, and precursors of thin film materials. We are studying syntheses and properties of new GICs and layered materials intercalating alkali metal cation (Li+, Na+, or K+) and several organic molecules, which will be available as electrode materials or catalysts. The structures and dynamics of intercalant molecules are investigated using X-ray diffraction and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) to reveal the interaction between intercalants and host materials. These analyses are significant to understand the intercalation chemistry of new materials and diffusion property of alkali metals in 2D layers.

  • Reaction mechanism of lithium and sodium in electrode materials for next generation secondary batteries
    Secondary batteries are crucially important components, providing power for portable devices, transportation, and industries. Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are commonly used as indispensable energy storage systems for consumer electronics and vehicles because of their high working voltage, high energy density, good charge–discharge cyclability, and other benefits. Sodium insertion materials are also attracted much attention as sodium ion batteries (NIBs), which might be an alternative to LIBs, because of its abundant resource, the second-lightest and second-smallest alkali metal next to lithium, and comparable electrode potential to that of LIBs. For the development of LIBs and NIBs, it is indispensable to elucidate the states of the lithium and sodium ions and the mechanism of charging–discharging on the electrodes. We are investigating the state of lithium and sodium in several electrode materials such as hard carbon, phosphorous, and layered 2D materials using 7Li and 23Na ssNMR in order to develop next generation secondary batteries. The aim of this study is developing methods to analyze the structure of electrodes and the state of lithium and sodium in the batteries, and revealing the reaction mechanism of lithium and sodium in electrode materials.
