   Profesor Shigeto OKADA
 
      Professor and Group Leader,
        Institute of Materials Chemistry and Engineering,
        Kyushu University, Fukuoka, JAPAN.  

   Collaboration: 
We have active collaboration since 2013 on electrochemical analyses of battery insertion materials     for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. Apart from non-aqueous battery testing, we also jointly investigate various cathode
   materials for aqueous batteries with various electrolytes.

        Australian Nuclear Science & Technology Organisation, Kirrawee, AUSTRALIA.  

   Collaboration:
Since 2011, we have active collaboration on crystal and magnetic structure determination of           various battery insertion materials. It is pursued by low-temperature neutron powder diffraction at ANSTO and       data analyses with FullProf suite of program.

        School of Chemistry,
        The University of Sydney, Sydney, AUSTRALIA.  

   Collaboration:
Since 2011, we have active collaboration on crystallography and magnetic properties                   measurement of variety of battery insertion materials. It is pursued by low-temperature susceptibility                   measurement and occasional synchrotron powder diffraction.

      Professor of Materials Theory,
        Department of Physics & Astronomy,
        Uppsala University, Uppsala, SWEDEN.  

   Collaboration:
We have active collaboration on theoretical study of battery insertion materials since 2014.           Various polyanionic insertion materials are being investigated using first principle density functional theory           (DFT) calculations shedding light on their electronic and electrochemical properties.

        Normandie University, Caen, FRANCE.  

   Collaboration:
We have started collaborative research on various polyanionic framework insertion materials for       rechargeable batteries since 2017. Using solvothermal (soft chemistry) synthesis and various electrochemical         characterization, we are trying to discover new battery insertion materials.

        Department of Materials Science & Engineering,
        National University of Singapore, SINGAPORE.  

   Collaboration:
Since 2015, we have collaborative research effort on secondary battery materials. Prof. Adams has
   taught our group Bond Valence Site Energy (BVSE) calculations using Soft BV approach. It renders insights on
   ionic mobility and diffusion pathways illustration in open framework materials.

   Collaboration: Since 2018, we have started collaborative research work on physical and electrochemical
   characterisations of secondary battery materials. We intend to work on new insertion compounds for both 
   aqueous and non-aqueous batteries with focus on Na-ion and Zn-ion batteries.
