The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Nanotechnology Platform selected particularly excellent results from the approximately 2018 usage issues up to FY20,000, and decided on four "excellent usage results" in the first year of Reiwa.
In the nanotechnology platform business, 25 research corporations with cutting-edge nanotechnology facilities and equipment aim to create research results that lead to innovation.There are about 3000 uses each year, and four "excellent use results" were selected from the 37 candidates submitted as excellent use results by the 57 executing agencies this time by the examination of the selection committee.In the selection, (4) the utilization and support of the nanotechnology platform had a great effect, (3) the one that can be expected to have a great impact on the creation of innovation, and (XNUMX) the cooperation of industry, universities, and public institutions gave great results. It was judged based on three criteria: things.
Nagoya University's "Operand TEM observation of automobile catalyst nanoparticles in a gas environment" was selected as the highest award.In this study, a nitrogen oxide gas was reacted in an electron microscope using an exhaust gas purification catalyst model material, and changes in the atomic level structure of the catalyst particles and changes in the exhaust gas composition during gas purification were directly observed in real time at the same time.With the increasing importance of catalysts that purify automobile exhaust gas, this technology is expected to greatly contribute to the development of next-generation catalysts.
The awards for excellence include "Development of a small microstage" from Tohoku University, "Anti-reflection dielectric multilayer film with photocatalytic and superhydrophilic functions" from the University of Tokyo, and "BiFe1-XCoXO3 thin film spin structure change" from Nagoya Institute of Technology. Was selected.
