Dynamics of molecules and ions in metal-organic hybrid nano-layer
integrated system are acted by characteristic nano-fields such
as intermolecular interaction, coulomb interaction, catalytic
action, etc. This project is to establish the metal-organic hybrid
protonics, and to create functional nano-layer integrated system,
where the energy conversions can be easily operated. In particular,
we aim at the construction of functional nano-layer system using
coordination polymers which is able to control a series of energy
operations such as generation, separation, storage, material
conversion of an energy gas, H2, or electron / ion transport. |

In order to develop nano devices utilizing novel nano interface
structures, we aim at developing a ultra-high brilliant synchrotron
radiation analysis and control station at a long undulator. We
will systematically perform the following four research programs:
1) 3-dimensional profile analysis, 2) nano-spectroscopy, 3) sub-micron
soft X-ray emission spectroscopy, and 4) dynamic observation
of interfaces by soft X-ray holography. |

Two dimensional interfaces created by adjoining oxide semiconductors,
correlated electron oxides and organic molecular compounds will
be studied to elucidate the ways of efficient injection and/or
accumulation of charge carriers. The electronic, magnetic and
photonic properties played by thus engineered carriers will be
promoted to functional devices. |

Although gold is chemically inert, its reactivity dramatically
changes when it becomes smaller than 2 nm in diameter being composed
of less than 300 atoms. These gold clusters are deposited on
a variety of support materials including base metal oxides, carbons
having different nano-structures, and polymers as soft materials
in order to tune the catalytic performance in a much wider scope.
New catalytic processes are exploited in an attempt to expand
the frontiers of green sustainable chemistry. |

Creation of functional organosilica hybrid materials with highly ordered nano-structure

Principal Researcher
The object of this research is the creation of new function of
organosilica hybrid materials through the control of the molecular
arrangement structure and nano-porous structure. The drawbacks
of organic materials, the low stability and the difficulty of
nano-structure control, will be overcome by hybridization with
inorganic materials in molecular level. We have already succeeded
in the synthesis of highly ordered and stable mesoporous organosilica
materials and aim to apply them to the photo-conversion system
and high efficient molecular recognition system. |
