Clean Energy Materials

We are developing component technologies for materials and processes relating to fuel cells (FC), lithium ion batteries (LIB), and other products, to contribute to the functionality and safety of next-generation automobiles, and the realization of the low carbon society. The center has component prototyping/ evaluation equipment and equipment to evaluate power generation performance of FC and prototyping and safety evaluation equipment for LIB.

ventilation equipment , Cross-section of heat exchange sheet (enlarged)

We are promoting the development of materials to save energy and realize comfortable living environments. In the area of living environment materials, we have achieved major improvements by using micro porous films, a cutting-edge Toray technology, in heat exchange elements for reducing heat loss during home and building ventilation.

We are developing products such as blood glucose level sensors, Face mask fabrics, and materials for diapers and other hygiene products. In the area of Beauty masks, we have achieved high adherence to skin and superior solution retention by using nanofibers.
