In order to attain clean and economical energy systems, new technology is needed to improve efficiency of energy generation and consumption. To that end, it is essential to force technological breakthroughs such as the discovery of high-performance energy materials that efficiently convert and transport energy. At our Center, research and development will focus on the creation of advanced energy materials as well as the design of devices that make optimal use of superior material properties. Through joint efforts in both science and engineering, we will make inroads into new research frontiers. In addition to promote top-level research, efforts will be made to expand the human resource potential of young talents trained in trans-disciplinary integrated collaborations.
