Our laboratory is conducting research on the themes of "environment" and "nanomaterials". As a typical example, the "nano-thin film test paper" currently under development is capable of detecting harmful heavy metal ions lurking in the environment with high sensitivity of ppb level. The concept of this test strip is "Easy, anyone, anywhere." It is possible to visually confirm the content of the target element without performing a complicated operation like an analyzer. In addition, we are developing an air purification system using singlet oxygen, aiming to establish a new air purification system.
Dye nanoparticle-coated test strips for ultra trace harmful ions.
