Scope of Section

At the Battery Section, in the department, research is being carried out on a lithium storage battery, featuring the highest theoretical energy density of all batteries conceivable and called the ultimate battery at the present stage. Much is expected in the area of the development of light and compact batteries, which can benefit major electrical power consumers of applied to load-leveling, and also to their use in electric vehicles. The greatest task in this regard is to realized a battery (using the metal lithium, which has an exceptionally high chemical reactivity), which is assured of a high degree of safety, high energy density and longevity. With these facts in mind, our effort is directed to the elucidation of the involved electrode reaction mechanism and development of new battery component materials. In addition,we are carried out on the research of room temperature molten salt secondary battery , dye sensitization solar cells etc.
