Dr. Hiromichi Nishiyama and coworkers Introduced on Supplementary Journal Cover of The Journal of Physical Chemistry C (American Chemical Society)/西山博通等燃料电池纳米材料研究中心的研究员们的学术论文被选为 美国化学会“Journal of Physical Chemistry C”杂志“Supplementary Journal Cover”

　Paper by Dr. Hiromichi Nishiyama of Fuel Cell Nanomaterials Center, Prof. Junji Inukai of Clean Energy Research Center, and coworkers was elected and introduced on Supplementary Journal Cover in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C published by The American Chemical Society. The distributions of several types of water molecules in polymer electrolytes during power generation of fuel cells are believed to have enormous influences on the performance, durability, and stability, but monitoring the water species was very difficult. Dr. Nishiyama and coworkers applied coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy to a running fuel cell to elucidate the distribution of four major types of water species. The results were highly evaluated by the journal editors, and the paper was selected to be introduced on the Supplementary Journal cover.

　燃料电池纳米材料研究中心的西山博通研究员・饭山明裕研究中心主任・犬饲润治清洁能源研究中心的教授们的学术论文，被世界规模最大的化学系学术团体“American Chemical Society”（美国化学会）发行的学术杂志“Journal of Physical Chemistry C”的“Supplementary Journal Cover ”（补充杂志封面）选出。
　论文题目是《Chemical States of Water Molecules Distributed Inside a Proton Exchange Membrane of a Running Fuel Cell Studied by Operando Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Spectroscopy》。固体高分子电解质内的多种水分子的空间分布一直被认为对燃料电池的性能和寿命有很大的影响，但是测量这些水分子的分布及其困难。西山研究员们将相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射的方法应用于发电中的燃料电池，开发出了精密解析4种主要水分子的空间分布的方法。
