Focusing on spinel nanomaterials composed of cobalt and iron, the study successfully optimized the internal microscopic structure (cation redistribution) by precisely controlling the cooling rate during fabrication. This structural control significantly improves photochemical reaction efficiency, promising great contributions to future clean environmental technologies and next-generation energy conversion materials. His innovation in cutting-edge nanomaterials engineering and high potential for solving environmental issues received high international acclaim.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table class=\"tableLayout02\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #e0ffff;\" width=\"130\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Award Recipient\t<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Keisuke Okamoto\u3014D3\u3015<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #e0ffff;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Award<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Young Researcher Award<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">3rd Prize in PhD Competition<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #e0ffff;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Title<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Material Evaluation of Atomic-Level Au\/Polyaniline Hybrid Films Fabricated by Cyclic Au Electrodeposition<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: #e0ffff;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Research Summary<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">This breakthrough achievement involves the fabrication and precise material evaluation of an unprecedented, atomically controlled hybrid thin film. Using a unique method called cyclic electrodeposition to deposit gold by periodically varying the electric potential, Mr. Okamoto successfully synthesized an ultra-fine composite thin film combining gold and a conductive polymer (polyaniline). By clarifying its superior functional properties through advanced analytical techniques, the study demonstrated its high potential for application in nano-devices and high-sensitivity sensors. In addition to the top-tier quality of his research, his outstanding presentation in the PhD competition was highly praised, earning him a double honor.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Teacher in charge<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Sone-Chang Laboratory\uff08Advanced Materials Research Core\uff09<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ames.pi.titech.ac.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.ames.pi.titech.ac.jp\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"tableLayout01\" border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/20260917_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"222\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12061\" \/><\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/20260917_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12062\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"tableLayout01\" border=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Chen_20260917.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/chen_20260917.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12068\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/okamoto_20260917_1.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/okamoto_20260917_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12069\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/okamoto_20260917_2.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/okamoto_20260917_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"280\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12073\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"background: #f3f3f2; padding: 10px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><strong>Related Site<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">\u25b6Institute of Integrated Research\uff08IIR\uff09<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conference E-MRS 2026 (European Materials Research Society) Date September 17, 2026 Award Recipient Chen Yu Hao\u3014D2\u3015 Award Young Researcher Award Title Cooling-Rate-Controlled Cation Redistribution in Co\u2013Fe Spinel Nanomaterials for Enhanced Photooxidative Catalysis Research Summary This award recognizes Mr. Chen&#8217;s development of a novel method to dramatically enhance the performance of photooxidative catalysts, which convert light [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_locale":"en_US","_original_post":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/?p=12053","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-awards","en-US"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12077"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12081,"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12077\/revisions\/12081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.first.iir.isct.ac.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
