Shotaro Danjo

Research

I synthesize alloy nanoparticles and metal–organic framework (MOF) particles using the intense mixing fields of microreactors. Using time-resolved in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction in liquid, I directly observe how these particles form, aiming to clarify their formation mechanisms and to control their structure and size.
