Carbon Materials Retaining the Structures of Precursor Organic Crystals

<要旨> One of the recent challenging targets in the field of carbon materials is the synthesis of well-organized nanocarbons and carbon-based materials by chemically sophisticated techniques. In this context, carbonization of organic-based crystalline solids such as metal-organic frameworks and organic crystals has been intensively investigated to date. However, organic-based crystals are always converted into intrinsically amorphous carbonaceous frameworks, and the structural regularity, as well as the major molecular features of the precursors, is totally lost by carbonization. We have recently demonstrated the successful conversion of organic crystals into carbonaceous frameworks that inherit the ordered structure as well as the molecular fragments of the original crystals. The resulting ordered carbonaceous frameworks exhibit an intermediate structure, between an organic-based framework and carbon material, with advantages from both structures.

Graphdiyne: 2D Carbon Created by Polymer Synthesis
坂本 良太・西原 寛
Ryota SAKAMOTO, Hiroshi NISHIHARA
<要旨> The nanosheet is a 2D matter, the thickness of which reaches less than 1 nm. In addition to inorganic nanosheets like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, recent progress in synthetic and analytical chemistry allows researcher to create molecule-based nanosheets. This article reviews graphdiyne, a kind of 2D allotrope of graphene, which belongs to both inorganic and molecule-based nanosheet series.

sp2/sp3結合比を制御したスパッタナノカーボン薄膜電極
Sputtered Nanocarbon Film Electrodes Capable of Controlling sp2/sp3 Ratio
加藤 大・丹羽 修
Dai KATO, Osamu NIWA
<要旨> This topic introduces our developed sputtered nanocarbon film electrodes and their applications to sensing platforms for trace amounts of various analytes. We have been studying nanocarbon film electrodes formed by an electron cyclotron resonance sputtering or an unbalanced magnetron sputtering method. The film provides a nanocrystalline sp2 and sp3 mixed bond structure with an atomically flat surface (surface roughness of 0.1 nm) and high conductivity without doping. The film electrode has excellent properties including a low background current, a wide electrochemical potential window, and little surface fouling, while maintaining relatively high electrode activity. These characteristics allow the detection of various analytes, especially ultratrace amounts of biomolecules. For example, the nanocarbon film electrode can quantitatively measure all the DNA bases and cerebral gliotransmitter, which are difficult to measure at conventional carbon electrodes.

長尺カーボンナノチューブの流動層合成と電池応用
Fluidized-Bed Production and Battery Application of Long Carbon Nanotubes
野田 優
Suguru NODA
<要旨> Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attracting much attention owing to its unique 1D nanostructure and properties. CNTs can be synthesized by various methods, and the characteristics of their production methods and resulting structures are introduced. Rapid, millimeter-scale growth of CNTs on 2D substrates has been established, and such CNTs can now be produced in 3D by fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition using spherical ceramic beads. Acetylene is converted to 99 wt%-pure, sub-millimeter-long, few-wall CNTs efficiently at 70% yield in 0.3 s residence time. Self-supporting, sponge-like papers can be easily fabricated by dispersion and filtration, which work as light-weight, 3D current collectors for rechargeable batteries. A full lithium ion cell of LiCoO2-1 wt% CNT cathode and graphite-1 wt% CNT anode is developed without using metallic foils nor polymer binder. CNTs have rich varieties in their structure and production methods. They can be regarded as polymer made of only carbon, and will have rich opportunities for practical applications.

States of Water Molecules at the Biointerface – What is the Roles of Intermediate Water ?
田中 賢
Masaru TANAKA
<要旨> When the biomaterials come into contact with the biological fluids, water molecules immediately adsorb onto the surface of the materials. To understand the origin of the crucial roles of water molecules in biological interfaces, it is necessary to relate particular stats of hydration water to various physicochemical properties of hydrated polymers. Here, advances of intermediate water concept are reviewed. This paper provides an overview of the progress made in the design of multi-functional biomedical polymers by controlling the bio-interfacial water states.
