The Micro-structure Control Laboratory of Professor Fujita is conducting research on the production of nano-porous metals using electron microscopes, and the development of novel materials using 3D printers. As it progresses, this research is expected to lead to application and development in other areas such as the fields of energy and the chemical industry, through the creation of breakthrough catalysts that efficiently activate the methane that is abundant in natural gas, the manifestation of free micro-structure control and multi-functionality in materials (electrode catalysts and thermoelectric materials), and other achievements. In addition, as the leader of Research Unit for Advanced Characterization for Future Materials, from fiscal 2020 Professor Fujita have been utilizing advanced electron microscopes to minutely understand the micro-structure and crystalline structure of various substances, with the aim of creating new substances based on nano-control.
