   For sustainable development, it is indispensable to improve further conventional energy conversion methods as well as to develop new conversion technology that helps minimize the environmental impact by conversion and use of energy. An epoch-making progress in energy conversion systems has often been brought by development of key materials.
   We are focusing on synthesis of novel functional inorganic materials that contribute to efficient energy conversion and environmental preservation by combining various substances such as metal, polymer, and inorganic materials. We investigate the materials and systems related to fuel cells, hydrogen production, and catalytic combustion.
