Development of high-quality, high-purity, low-dimensional materials for the fabrication of novel devices
We explore and elucidate the novel physical properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials and develop innovative devices that utilize their excellent physical properties.

Research Theme
Development of low-dimensional materials for novel devices
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) exhibit excellent electrical, optical, and mechanical properties, making them promising candidates for applications in which conventional materials are unusable. However, CNTs are typically mixed with heterogeneous structures, adversely affecting their properties. Using a method developed by our group, large quantities of CNTs with uniform properties can be separated from gels through selective adsorption and desorption (shown in the figure below). We aim to use the extracted CNTs in advanced applications, such as gas sensing, biosensing, and high-biological-transparency bioimaging using near-infrared light.

and single-chirality CNTs.
