Outline of Final Research Achievements

Nanosheets have attracted great attentions because of their high specific surface area, high conductivity in the in-plane direction, and fast electrode reactions. In particular, metal and metal oxide nanosheets can be attractive conductive materials with various functions. In this study, metal nanosheets, which are expected to have high electrical conductivity, were prepared through a novel approach for synthesizing metal nanosheets using surfactants in the solid crystalline phase.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

最近のスマートフォンなどを筆頭とした電子機器の小型化などを鑑みて、導電性材料自体の機能はそのままに、薄く、小さくする、というのは高性能な製品を生み出していくために必要な技術となります。本研究では、原子数個分という極限の厚みまで薄くした材料である「ナノシート」に着目して、金などの電気を流す物質を極限まで薄くしたナノシート化する方法を確立しました。
