Research Abstracts in 2010 (2010/4/1-2011/3/31) ⇒ here(PDF) 　We focus our interest on the physical and chemical research aiming for sustainable energy conversion and environmental preservation. We have been studying mainly light-related systems, such as photocatalysis, organic polymer photovoltaic cells, artificial photosynthesis, based on mainly physical chemistry as well as photochemistry, electrochemistry and polymer chemistry. In addition, recently we expanded our research area to energy conversion utilizing microorganism such as microbial solar cells (MSC) and microbial fuel cells (MFC). Molecular biology is one of the most important knowledge for our research. 1.
