Our laboratory primarily conducts research on the photochemistry, electrochemistry, and spectroscopy of inorganic compounds. We focus on the application of inorganic coordination compounds in photoelectrochemical cells and photocells, particularly studying sensitizers and catalysts.
Our research includes investigating the oxidation reactions of polynuclear complexes formed with aromatic ligands and their stability under light irradiation. These complexes are then applied as oxidation catalysts in dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells, aiming to develop practical photoelectrochemical devices. Recently, in collaboration with professors from our department, we have explored the feasibility of constructing photocells using liquid crystal molecules as the substrate.
