Research and Development Topics
Here, we introduce the main research and development topics undertaken by Nippon Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd.
Copper(I) Oxide Paste for Photo Sintering
Curelight™
Curelight™ is an innovative copper(I) oxide paste developed for printed electronics. Light irradiation enables the formation of copper wiring at room temperature, in the atmosphere, and in a short time, allowing for significant energy savings and process reduction compared to conventional thermal sintering processes.
Key features include compatibility with low heat-resistant substrates, excellent adhesion, and an environmentally friendly process.
Primary applications are expected across a wide range of fields, including radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, touch panels, various sensors, flexible substrates, and electromagnetic shielding.

Materials for Small All-Solid-State Batteries
CELLCERAM™
CELLSEED™ Fine-Particle Grade
By applying phosphate technology and fine-particle manufacturing technology, we have developed the specialty phosphate fine-particle powder CELLCERAM™ and the submicron-sized lithium cobalt oxide particle product CELLSEED™ Fine-Particle Grade.
CELLCERAM™ is suitable as a phosphate active material and solid-state electrolyte for small all-solid-state batteries.
CELLSEED™ Fine-Particle Grade can be applied as a cathode active material for small all-solid-state batteries, and mixing a small amount into cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can also be expected to increase electrode density.

Negative Thermal Expansion Filler
CERAFIT™
By applying composite oxide synthesis technology, we have developed the negative thermal expansion filler CERAFIT™, which can suppress thermal expansion.
By blending CERAFIT™ into and creating composites with various materials where thermal expansion suppression is desired, in addition to device materials requiring high dimensional accuracy, it is possible to reduce dimensional changes in materials caused by temperature.

CO2Solid Sorbent
CARBOTRIM™
We have developed CO₂ solid sorbents by applying our proprietary conventional technologies.
CARBOTRIM™ chemically absorbs CO₂ selectively at room temperature across a range of concentrations, from high to low, and releases CO₂ at temperatures of approximately 100℃, enabling the separation and recovery of high-purity CO₂.
Its extremely low volatility and resistance to the effects of humidity make it suitable for repeated use over extended periods.

Low-Toxicity Quantum Dots
We have developed fluorescent Quantum Dots that do not contain toxic elements such as cadmium or selenium.
With stable aqueous dispersion and reproducible antibody modification, these Quantum Dots are expected to serve as versatile nanotools applicable to a broad range of fluorescence technologies, from fluorescent immunoassays to cell analysis.
Features such as excellent photostability, a wide fluorescence wavelength range, and high fluorescence quantum yield and molar absorptivity are expected to deliver significant improvements in stability and sensitivity compared to conventional fluorescent dyes.
