Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sub-nanoparticles, size around 1 nm, are attracting attention as a new group of innovative materials, but due to their small size, it is very difficult even to detect for characterisation by conventional spectroscopic methods. Therefore, the interpretation of their physical and chemical properties are still in the early stage. In this research, we have established ultrahigh sensitive spectroscopic measurement, based on the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), with 135 time higher sensitivity than the conventional SERS method. This technique allows detection not only of subnano materials, but also a single atom catalytic reaction. This method can also be applied to electrochemical conditions. In addition, we succeeded in elucidating the crystal structure of tin oxide sub-nanoparticles, as well as their binding state, revealing the correlation between their structures and the reaction mechanism on the specific reaction activity in the sub-nano range for the first time in the world.
