I had the opportunity to present at the Chemical Society of Japan 106th Annual Meeting. Since my talk covered both instrumentation and catalysis, I found it quite challenging to keep the audience equally engaged throughout—something I’ll definitely improve next time, perhaps by separating the topics into different presentations.

That said, I’m grateful that the overall response was very positive, and I truly enjoyed the many insightful discussions. It was a valuable and rewarding experience!

We held a thank-you gathering for Tanike-sensei and the others who have supported us. Although there is still some time before the degree conferment ceremony, I hope we were able to convey our gratitude for all their kindness thus far. Thank you, Tanike-sensei, Wada-sensei, and Chammingkwan-sensei!

This study quantitatively evaluates catalyst film uniformity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) using image-based feature extraction and statistical analysis. The approach identifies key uniformity descriptors that impact ORR performance, paving the way for more reproducible and reliable catalyst assessments.

From Oshida-kun, currently studying abroad in France. Research, meals, sightseeing... it seems like he's having a fulfilling time. I'm jealous.

Our PhD student, Oshida kun, has started his internship at Clermont Auvergne INP, France, one of our partners under the academic exchange agreement. A wonderful photo with their kind coordinator, Raphaël.

[Press Release] New method developed to evaluate photocatalytic performance at 500 samples per day - Foundational technology for large-scale exploration -
Cho-sensei and Taniike-sensei research achievement on "A Simple Microplate Assay for Accelerated Photocatalytic Activity Evaluation" are published in ACS Environmental Au.
Journals：ACS Environmental Au
Title：A Simple Microplate Assay for Accelerated Photocatalytic Activity Evaluation
DOI: 10.1021/acsenvironau.5c00200

東京科学大学の張助教（研究当時、JAIST特任助教）と谷池教授らの共同研究チームは、光触媒色素分解において評価速度を大幅に向上させ、最大約500サンプル／日のスループット解析が可能な手法を開発しました。本研究成果は、ACS Environmental Au誌で公開されました。
材料探索で必要とされる性能評価を飛躍的に効率化でき、多様な光触媒材料の探索や反応特性の比較を大規模に進められることが期待されます。

【ポイント】プロセス分離の難しい光触媒反応において、「励起キャリアの表面への供給」か「表面での酸化還元反応」のどちらが律速となっているかを簡便に判別できる手法を確立
