Would you give us a brief overview of the main businesses of Showa Denko Materials, the mission of your organization, and your personal area of expertise?
Showa Denko Materials is a Japanese chemical manufacturer of semiconductor and electronics-related materials, mobility materials, functionally engineered polymer materials, and life sciences-related products. The company was originally a chemical products division of Hitachi, Ltd. It was spun off in 1962 to establish the former Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd. Throughout our long history, we have continued to develop and release advanced functionally engineered materials in various fields.
I currently work in the analysis department, where we use sophisticated analytical technologies to fulfill our mission of providing strong support for product development and intellectual property strategies for functionally engineered materials. read more
In your diverse development experience, what are some of the key points for your team from pioneering such innovative new technologies for LiB material development?
To overcome analytical challenges in developing LiB materials, we have been focusing on visualizing the 2D and 3D distribution of compounds. LiBs have a relatively simple structure, but they still involve many factors that need clarification. Basically, LiBs are a combination of positive electrodes (inorganic powder), negative electrodes (inorganic powder), separators (organic membranes), and electrolyte solution (organic liquid); consequently, the components of LiBs consist of mixed materials: solid, liquid, inorganic and organic. read more
