Artificial photosynthesis is expected to solve energy, environment, and resources issues. Water splitting and CO2 reduction of artificial photosynthesis have extensively been studied using photocatalyst materials. Various metal oxide and sulfide photocatalysts developed by the author’s original strategies are introduced. These heterogeneous photocatalyst materials have been applied to a single particle system, Z-schematic system, and photoelectrochemical systems for water splitting and CO2 reduction using water as an electron donor.

The β -NMR technique and its application to the study of materials science are introduced. Using some different types of accelerator facility, β -NMR probe nuclei for various elements are useful as a beam with wide energy range, which enables us to select an implantation depth into a sample from surface to bulk. Our recent β -NMR studies on 8 Li in Li ion conductor material Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 and 12 N in H 2 O are presented.

The resonance shear measurement (RSM), which we developed, can evaluate the rheological and tribological properties of confined liquids at surface separation distances (D) from μm (practically liquids are in the bulk state) to nm thicknesses. Thus, it is especially useful for studying the boundary lubrication for which the lubricant layer becomes in the nm level thickness and the solid surfaces are supposed to be partially in contact. In this article, we describe the principle and advantages of RSM, and review our recent RSM studies on tribology of nano-confined liquids. Four phenyl ether lubricant oils with different bulk viscosity confined between mica surfaces, and two ionic liquids ([C4 mim] [NTf2]) and [C4mim] [BF4]) showed significant increase in viscosity and the their magnitude relation became reverse when the gap became in nanometer thick. Friction of hydrogel (double network gel) and silica sphere was dominated by the elasticity of the deformed gel-silica interface.
