The aim of Nanoparticles Functional Design Group is to make a contribution on the solution of various environmental or energy issues with "nanosystem" established by multi-scale design and development based on the nanoparticles and nanomaterials. Our core materials are porous coordination polymers such as Prussian blue analogues and metal organic frameworks. Our R&D is proceeded for adsorbents of molecules/ions and color-switchable devices with the structural optimization for each target application.
1. Multi-scale structural optimization of porous coordination polymers.
The core technology of our group is design and development of the materials. Materials, components, modules, devices, and systems are designed and developed concurrently in nanometer, micro-meter, milli-meter, and also meter scale. Our final goal is to utilize the "true performance" of the materials at the scale of human being, with a connection among different scales.
