| Research Abstract |
This work was conducted to improve the functions of monolithic microhoneycombs obtained through the Ice Templating Method, a new micromolding technique developed by our research group. First, techniques to immobilize active species with sizes ranging from the angstrom level to the sub-micrometer level were developed. Using the developed techniques, monolithic microhoneycombs which can be used as photocatalysts, solid acid catalysts for liquid phase reactions and ion exchangers were successfully synthesized. Moreover, by using an organic-inorganic hybrid precursor, monoliths having extremely high thermal stabilities were also obtained.
