| Research Abstract |
Element strategy is one of the most important research themes. In this study, we have newly synthesized green nanocrystal composites, such as functional nanocrystal/nanocarbon materials applicable for next-generation energy devices. For example, multi-branched one-dimensional CoO/CNT nanocomposites were successfully prepared by using the flux-grown one-dimensional CoO crystals as a platform. In addition, Pt nanocrystal/VGCF nanocomposites having petal-like surface structures were successfully fabricated through two-step process, that is, flux surface modification and subsequent flux crystal growth. Furthermore, Pd nanocrystals (or Fe2O3 nanocrystals)/nanocarbon composites can be also prepared by applying the above mentioned approaches. We believe that newly-demonstrated flux technique will be one of the strong candidate mythologies for fabrication of next-generation energy device materials.
