We would like to introduce our "quantum dot-type nano fertilizer" that we handle. In situations where plants are under stress due to some external environment (such as diseases, weather, or hunger), it has been difficult to visually detect when crops weaken, leading to wasted crops that do not grow. If our product binds to substances (such as H2O2, Ca2+, NO, etc.) generated within the plant due to stress, it will stop emitting light under ultraviolet irradiation, or the state of the spectrum will change. This allows for early detection of crop stress, even if it is not visually apparent. As a result, it enables timely countermeasures, allowing crops to grow healthily until harvest without loss. By detecting these luminescent phenomena, it can be applied to smart agriculture and remote farming. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb CO2 and, with the help of sunlight, produce oxygen and starch. However, in reality, not all sunlight is utilized; particularly, blue and red light are effective for photosynthesis and plant growth. At our company, we synthesize various quantum dots and quantum dot composite materials, and we have developed a quantum dot film that converts ultraviolet and short-wavelength blue light into red light. This allows for the utilization of more red wavelengths of light from sunlight, which is expected to accelerate the growth of plants and crops. 【What are Quantum Dots?】 - They are substances with ultra-fine particle sizes ranging from 0.5 to 9 nm, exhibiting optical properties that follow the laws of quantum chemistry and quantum mechanics. - They are artificially synthesized substances that are so small, consisting of tens to thousands of molecules, that they are also referred to as artificial molecules. - Due to a physical phenomenon known as quantum confinement effect, energy levels are separated and isolated. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.

The spread of renewable energy using solar cells, fuel cells, secondary batteries, wind power generation, etc., and the increasing attempts to replace chemical products derived from petroleum, such as plastics, with natural biomass-based biodegradable resins are becoming more common. One method involves using CO2, which is one of the greenhouse gases, as a raw material to produce energy resources and chemical substances from CO2, known as artificial photosynthesis. Additionally, just as plants and leaves in nature synthesize carbohydrates from sunlight, water, and CO2, similar processes can synthesize energy resources and chemical substances from sunlight, water, and CO2. Our company has successfully synthesized composite materials using "carbon nitride (C3N4)," which is a visible light-responsive photocatalytic material, and conducted artificial photosynthesis reactions based on such materials to synthesize formic acid from sunlight, water, and CO2.

An innovative all-solid-state lithium secondary battery, which serves as an alternative to liquid electrolyte-type lithium secondary batteries, is being actively researched and developed by companies, universities, and research institutions both domestically and internationally. A key technology in this research is the development of solid electrolytes that can facilitate the rapid movement of lithium ions between electrodes. Solid electrolytes can be categorized into organic polymer-based and inorganic types, with inorganic lithium solid electrolytes broadly divided into sulfide-based and oxide-based categories. Among oxide-based solid electrolytes, there are NASICON-type solids such as Li1.3Al0.3Ti1.7(PO4)3 (LATP) and the garnet-structured Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO). Our company synthesizes LLZO, but we also produce perovskite-type Li0.33La0.56TiO3 (LLTO), which has lithium ion conductivity comparable to that of LLZO, and we offer LLTO in both powder and ink forms. During synthesis, the size is over several micrometers, but with nanometer-sized particle dispersion technology, it can also be reduced to sizes of 200-400 nm. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), also known as porous coordination polymers, are materials composed of metal cations and multi-dentate ligands that bridge them. By controlling the metals and organic ligands used in their construction, it is possible to precisely adjust the shape, size, and molecular functional groups of the pores at the molecular level, resulting in ultra-porous materials. Recently, we confirmed that a type of MOF synthesized in-house can be converted into inkjet ink and printed onto ordinary paper and film using a simple home printer. Our group company, Fujishikiso Co., Ltd., has been engaged in research and development, as well as manufacturing and sales of inkjet inks for several decades, possessing technology to convert various organic and inorganic pigments into inkjet inks. This time, we applied that expertise to the inkjet ink formulation of MOFs. Utilizing the company's technology for dispersing nanosized particles in liquid, we have developed inkjet inks based on water, various organic solvents, and various UV-curable resin bases. For this occasion, we created an inkjet ink with an average particle size of approximately 100-180 nm for the MOF as a water-based ink. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

As "solid catalysts" and "solid acid catalysts," there are zeolites, heteropoly acids, mesoporous materials, sulfuric acid-treated zirconia, and sulfuric acid-treated carbon, among others. We have already developed carbon-based solid acid catalysts, but their activity has not been very high, making practical application difficult. Additionally, other well-known solid acid catalysts such as Nafion and Amberlyst are also recognized, but the high cost of these materials is a challenge. The metal-organic framework type solid catalyst and solid acid catalyst we have developed this time has been confirmed to demonstrate catalytic effects comparable to other solid acid catalysts in esterification reactions, aiming to provide a low-cost product that can be industrially applied, in contrast to expensive solid acid catalysts like Nafion and Amberlyst. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*

Our company has developed biodegradable fibers and threads primarily composed of cellulose-based biodegradable resins. Many biodegradable resins are derived from petroleum or, even when sourced from biomass, often use edible materials such as corn, sugarcane, grains, and tubers, raising concerns about competition with human food supply. However, cellulose-based biodegradable resins are particularly favorable as they are made from non-edible cellulose, making them a preferable material from the perspective of raw materials.
