Motomu Sakai is an Assistant Professor (non-tenure-track) in the Department of Applied Chemistry at Waseda University's School of Advanced Science and Engineering. He holds a Doctor of Engineering degree from Waseda University (awarded February 2022). His research focuses on developing advanced separation technologies, particularly zeolite membranes for applications in energy-efficient processes and environmental solutions.
Research interests span inorganic materials chemistry with emphasis on:
- Membrane separation processes (forward osmosis, vapor permeation)
- Synthesis and modification of microporous materials (zeolites, MOFs)
- Adsorption mechanisms and separation of hydrocarbons
- Defect engineering and performance optimization of ceramic membranes
- Membrane reactor design for chemical reactions (e.g., esterification, RWGS)
His publications demonstrate strong focus on:
- Zeolite membrane performance for water treatment and gas separation
- Innovations in membrane synthesis (e.g., OSDA-free methods, defect-healing techniques)
- Structure-property relationships in nanoporous materials
- Applications in carbon neutrality and resource recovery
Major scientific recognitions include:
- Nano Technology Forum Award (2024) for microporous membrane development
- Young Scientist Award from The Membrane Society of Japan (2023)
- Satomi Award (2023) for zeolite nanosheet research
- Multiple conference awards for membrane separation innovations
Leads research projects funded by JSPS and foundations focusing on:
- Water vapor separation membranes for CO2 recycling reactors (2024-2027)
- Zeolite pore connectivity quantification (2025-2026)
- Food dehydration membranes (2024)
