| Abstract | This proposal will establish a world-class research and networking hub that can accelerate the creation of innovative materials for energy applications. The collaboration between the Tokyo Tech, Faculties of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MAPS) and Engineering, UCL, and the McGill University, Canada will enable a new paradigm in materials research by engineering materials with defects and active sites tailored for applications in energy generation, storage and reduction. We aim to create sustainable materials, especially focusing on energy materials, such as electronic materials for low power consumption, high-efficiency photovoltaic devices, and high-efficiency power-saving catalytic processes. This collaboration will harness the existing complementary strength of the three institutions in developing materials for energy applications and will focus on designing, synthesizing and characterizing new materials with tailored properties and testing their functionalities. This will involve training of young researchers, transfer of expertise and sharing of advanced equipment via a program of visits and exchanges, networking and collaboration building activities. The proposed hub will be greater than the sum of its parts and will cultivate a community of young researchers who can accelerate the creation of advanced energy materials and sustain collaboration | |
