Near-IR spectroscopic observation: dehydration of hydroxide and hydration of oxide
To tackle global warming issue due to escalating CO2 emission, researches have focused on the effective use of unharnessed thermal energy using chemical heat storage (CHS) materials. For example, dehydration of Mg(OH)2 and hydration of MgO correspond to storage and output processes of thermal energy, respectively. In this lecture, the mechanism of Mg(OH)2 dehydration and MgO hydration by using NIR spectroscopy will be presented. In addition, some of the phenomena related to adsorption of water will also be discussed.

Description: Our research group consist of members having the expertise in different fields, including plant science, environmental science and microbiology. Currently, in our research, we apply multidisciplinary approach to study, monitor and find solutions for environmental issues through the application of different types of molecular biological, chemical and physical analyses.
Aquaphotomics work: I joined with Aquaphotomics Department in the Faculty of Agriculture, Kobe University Japan, as a postdoctoral researcher and there I learned NIR spectroscopy and aquaphotomics under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Roumiana Tsenkova. In our future research, I hope to apply NIR spectroscopy and aquaphotomics as a holistic biomarker.
