Catalysis,
reaction engineering
& carbon circulation.
We connect catalyst chemistry with reactors, heat and mass transfer, electrification, and resource circulation to build new chemical processes.
Research
Five research directions connect materials, reactor structures, energy supply, and carbon circulation.
CO₂ Conversion & Solid Carbon
Reaction systems that convert CO₂ into syngas and solid carbon while coupling equilibrium control, carbon formation, separation and recovery.
Structured & Spiral Catalysts
Spiral structures, porous metals and washcoats are used to engineer flow, heat transfer and mass transfer together with catalytic activity.
e-Reaction Processes
Electrified chemical processes that introduce electrical energy directly into catalysts and reactors for rapid response, local heating and compact operation.
Lattice Sulfur Catalysis
Sulfide lattice sulfur is treated as a reactive species. Sulfur release, vacancy formation and H₂S re-sulfidation create redox catalytic cycles.
People
Professor Ryo Watanabe and students work across catalysis, reaction engineering, structured reactors, CO₂ conversion, ammonia chemistry and sulfur-mediated reactions.
