Carbon nanotubes, CNTs, are one of promising material for future electronics applications such as solar cells, FETs, and thermoelectric energy conversions. 

In all these application field, one important demand for material scientists is to develop n-type ones, in which n-type charge carrier is dominant for charge transport.  In the present seminar, I will introduce contribution of supramolecular chemistry to this difficult demands, which implies ambient-stable carboanion state. It will be started by introduce background on thermoelectric materials.

    Photonic Molecular Research

    Pr Tsuyoshi Kawai, from The Laboratory for Photonic Molecular Science, has research interests :

    • Photo-functional Materials Chemistry
    • Photochromic Molecules and Photoswitching Molecular Systems
    • Thermoelectric Nano-materials, Circularly Polarized Luminescence Materials.


    Molecular- and nanoparticle-based devices are expected as candidates of active elements in future information science and technology for communication, memory, sensing and display.  The research interest of the Laboratory LPMS is focused on new photo-functional molecular and nano-scale materials which actively interact with photons including photo-responsive molecules, polymers and nanoparticles.

    As "Photonic Molecular Informatics" in future is expected to be based on functionality of single molecules and single quantum particles, we also aim development of molecules, nanoparticles and detection and manipulation systems toward science and technology of single molecules and single quantum particles.
