北岡拓哉教授の研究室では、天然バイオリソースを基盤としたナノ材料の設計と応用に注力しています。特にセルロースを基体とするナノファイバーを用いた金属ナノ粒子のトポ化学的合成や、金属-有機フレームワーク（MOFs）とのハイブリッド構造の構築により、高効率な触媒やガス分離材料の開発を進めています。また、自然光下での光還元反応を活用した抗菌性ナノ材料の創出や、生体適合性を考慮した3次元多孔質スクエームの作製技術にも取り組んでいます。

Topochemical synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was achieved on crystalline cellulose single nanofibers (CSNFs), which were tailored from native cellulose. Exposed AuNPs@CSNFs composite exhibited an excellent catalytic efficiency: the turnover frequency of the AuNPs@CSNFs was up to 840 times that of conventional polymer-supported AuNPs, for a model aqueous reduction reaction. Our novel strategy provides a promising solution to realize efficient use of limited noble metals using natural bior
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are synthesized at carboxy groups on crystalline TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNs). MOF-TOCN films coated on a paper filter have a hierarchical structure from the nano- to macroscale, and demonstrate a high CO2 /CH4 selectivity, over 120 for CO2 at a high gas flux, by the combination of the nanoporous MOFs and the gas-barrier TOCNs, which have strong affinity with each other.
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized in situ on a paper matrix composed of ceramic fibers as the main framework and zinc oxide (ZnO) whiskers as a selective support for AgNPs. Paper-like ceramic fiber/ZnO whisker composites were prepared in advance using a high-speed, low-cost papermaking technique, then immersed in an aqueous solution of silver nitrate for 6 h. AgNPs with particle size 5–20 nm were spontaneously formed on the ZnO whiskers through selective ion-exchange bet
The structural and functional design of metal nanoparticles has recently allowed remarkable progress in the development of high-performance catalysts. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are among the most innovative catalysts, despite bulk Au metal being regarded as stable and inactive. The hybridization of metal NPs has attracted major interest in the field of advanced nanocatalysts, due to electro-mediated ligand effects. In practical terms, metal NPs need to be supported on a suitable matrix to avoid
Abstract Highly porous three‐dimensional (3D) scaffolds can mimic the lobular structure of a human liver where hepatocytes are organized. However, 3D scaffolds with uniformly porous and oriented structures are challenging to fabricate without cross‐linking agents. Herein, this work presents a Pickering emulsion‐induced interface approach to construct aligned porous scaffolds for 3D cell cultures through the combined use of surface‐carboxylated cellulose nanofibers and chitosan nanofibers as stab
