The lab controls the size and shape of inorganic nanoparticles and combines them with organic materials to create the materials of the future.
AboutAbout the lab
Hybrid nanoparticles for the future and the environment.
The Kanie Lab develops methods for precisely controlling the size and shape of inorganic nanoparticles.
Nanoparticles are materials used in a wide range of industries, such as catalysts and electronic devices.
The lab also studies the surface properties of the particles and combines them with organic materials to create organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
Based on precision synthesis spanning organic, inorganic, and bio materials, the lab works on developing the materials of the future.
Key terms
- Nanoparticle
- An extremely small particle with a size of about 1 to 100 nanometers (one billionth of a meter)
- Dendrimer
- A tree-shaped polymer that spreads out by repeatedly branching from a center
- Ionic liquid
- A salt made of cations and anions that remains liquid at room temperature and normal pressure

ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research centers on developing methods for making inorganic nanoparticles with precisely controlled size and morphology. The lab also studies the surface properties of nanoparticles and combines them with organic materials to develop a variety of future materials.
*Illustrative imageOrganic-Inorganic Hybrid Dendrimers
If nanoparticles can be arranged in an orderly way, applications extend to areas such as ultra-high-density recording materials. By coating particles with soft dendrimers to capture the flexibility of organic materials, and by making it possible for the structure to switch back and forth, the lab aims to create new functional materials.
*Illustrative imageTransparent Conductive Oxide Nanoparticles and Conductive Films
Transparent conductive oxides are both transparent and electrically conductive, and are used as transparent electrodes in liquid crystal displays and touch panels. The lab synthesizes nanoparticles of uniform size and shape, disperses them stably in water, applies them to substrates as a mist, and studies how to make transparent films with low resistance.
*Illustrative imageExtraction of Platinum Group Elements with Ionic Liquids
Platinum, rhodium, and palladium are used in electronic devices and automotive catalysts, and the amounts contained in waste are required to be recovered as urban mines. The lab designs and synthesizes ionic liquids with a low environmental burden, and works on developing a process that selectively extracts these metals from urban mines and releases them again.
