Abstract

The author spent one month at Kyoto University, Uji Campus in Prof. Nohira's group. Here is a summary of the study on the microparticle electrodes and single particle microbatteries using electrochemical and in-situ micro-Raman spectroscopic studies [1].

The author spent the 2024 academic year (April 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025) as a Visiting Associate Professor, hosted by the Institute of Advanced Energy (IAE) within the Research Unit for the Realization of a Sustainable Society (RURSS), in collaboration with Professor Masato Katahira at his laboratory on the Uji Campus of Kyoto University. In his report, the author presents recent developments in the efficient utilization of woody biomass.

The author spent one and half months at Kyoto University, Uji Campus in Prof. Nohira group. A review of the most promising technologies for electrochemical reduction of CO₂ for carbon negative technologies is presented. Recent efforts to convert CO₂ into valuable carbon materials using molten salt electrolysis are summarized and discussed here.
