Technologies for Energy, Environment,
and Natural Resources
We are facing serious global issues of energy, environment,
and natural resources, such as a global warming, exhausting
available fossil fuels, consuming scarce critical materials, and
polluting precious water. Material science and nanoscience
and their engineerings are highly expected to provide solutions
for them.
NIMS is strengthening the research and development of energy
and environment technologies to respond to such social
demands. Some of the technologies have been already
successfully industrialized and some are under development
through collaboration with industry.
Energy-Saving Solid-State Lighting
Demands for efficient white LEDs used in the backlights
of LCDs and solid-state lightings
Merit : Low power consumption and mercury-free
(Presently, lighting consumes 20% of total energy in Japan)

phosphor
Phosphors along with blue GaN LEDs are key
for solid-state lightings and displays
Requirement
Efficiency to generate bright light with low power consumption
Reproducibility of a wide range of white light
Thermal stability and long lifetime
Blue GaN LED
Development of highly-efficient phosphor materials for a white LED
named SIALON, using SiAlON base material
SIALON phosphor has a nm-scaled cage structure of SiAlON
with optically active rare-earth elements (Eu) inside
Excited states of d-electron of Eu can be modulated by
the crystal-field produced by SiAlON frame structure
SIALON phosphor enables to emit any colors, and
provides long lifetime and high temperature stability.
Already commercialized by LCD and LED lamp makers.

Outside air is taken in and is compressed by propellers.
Fuel is injected in combustion room to cause gas explosion.
The heated gas collides firstly the turbine blades to drive

Fuel efficiency increases with increase of combustion
temperature (around 1600~1700℃).
(Almost yearly 1M$ fuel cost reduction per airplane
with increase of combustion temperature by 40 ℃)

NIMS Target
Super Alloy with World-Highest
Heat Resistant Temperature
The developed super alloy consists of
two phases of γ (Ni solid solution: fcc)
and γ’ (Ni3Al type crystal structure).
Fine dislocation network produced at
interface of γ and γ’ phases due to the
addition of various elements such as
Mo, Re, Ru prevents dislocation
movements, resulting in superior heat-
resistance characteristics.
NIMS successfully developed Ni-based single crystal
super alloy with world-highest operating temperature
with a specified reliability exceeding 1100℃

Summary
1. NIMS is playing a central role in the research and development
of material science in Japan. It is strengthening the research on
material science and nanoscience related to energy and
environment technologies. It is also promoting actively the global
collaboration not only with academia but also with industry.
2. Efforts of industrialization of NIMS technologies are shown with
several examples, such as SIALON phosphors, heat resistant
Ni-based super alloys, and nanofilttration membranes for water
and organic solvent purification.
3. Open-innovation research and development scheme newly estab-
lished in NIMS as TIA NanoGreen was just started with 10 partis-
pating companies. We would like to pursue the possibilities of
open innovation scheme with increase of participating companies.
