Outline of Research at the Start

Biomass is a sustainable and environment-friendly resource on the earth which plays an important role in human life, especially bio-nanofiber materials with high strength, specific surface area and transparency. However, as insulators, bio-nanofibers have difficulty to be applied to electronics without hybridizing with other conductive materials. Therefore, we’d like to impart the electrical conductivity to bio-nanofibers by some green methods such as carbonization and laser irradiation, which could broaden their electrical applications such as sensors, supercapacitors and actuators.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

In this year, I finished the following research.
1. All-cellulose-derived humidity sensor prepared by direct laser writing of electrodes on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose paper
Cellulose is humidity-sensing due to many hydrophilic groups. However, the electrical insulation of cellulose makes nonrenewable noble metal electrodes essential to effectively detect electrical signals. Herein, I prepared sustainable laser-carbonized electrodes with good electrical conductivity and moisture-stable performance on TEMPO-oxidized cellulose paper. This all-cellulose-derived humidity sensor showed high sensitivity and linearity, and it can be used to monitor different biological activities. The research was published in Journal of Materials Chemistry C as an Inside Back Cover Paper (IF: 7.39, DOI: 10.1039/d1tc05339f). Moreover, I received an Excellent Poster Award at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Cellulose Society of Japan.
2. Polydopamine doping and pyrolysis of cellulose nanofiber paper for three-dimensional (3D) nanocarbon with improved yield and capacitive performances
Pyrolysis of cellulose inevitably causes drastic carbon loss and volume shrinkage. I found that a small amount of polydopamine doping before pyrolysis can improve the yield and volume retention of cellulose derived nanocarbon. The pyrolyzed polydopamine-doped cellulose nanofiber paper had a larger specific surface area and electrical conductivity, therefore affording better specific capacitance as a supercapacitor electrode. This research was published in Nanomaterials as a Feature Paper (IF: 5.08, DOI: 10.3390/nano11123249).
