Greetings

Hydrogen in materials exhibits a wide range of concentration, high mobility, quantum nature, and superior chemical reactivity. All these features of hydrogen originate from its bonding and size flexibilities; neutral hydrogen (H0), covalently bonded hydrogen (Hcov.), proton (H+), hydride ion (H), and also their intermediate states.

The purpose of this project is to develop a new materials science of hydrogen/hydrides (hereafter referred to as “Hydrogenomics”, i.e., hydrogen - omics (academic system)) as a guideline to "fully utilize" the diverse functionalities of hydrogen in materials.

The project will focus on the four most important functionalities of hydrogen originated from its bonding and size flexibilities (hereafter, referred to as “hydrogen functions”); i.e., “High Densification Ability (A01)”, “Interfacial Localizability (A02)”, “Fast Migration Ability (A03)” and “High Activation Ability (A04)”. Then the project will merge them to induce unprecedented “higher-order hydrogen functions (synergistic effect between its individual hydrogen functions)” with the support of “Advanced Measurement and Simulation Techniques (A05)”, which will also be developed within this project to capture the hydrogen functions more accurately than ever done before.
