Advanced Powder Technology(粉体工学会英文誌, Elsevier出版社)に掲載された優秀な研究論文の著者に贈られます。 This award is given to the authors of outstanding research papers published in Advanced Powder Technology (Society of Powder Technology, Japan; Published by Elsevier, 9.5 CiteScore, 4.2 Impact Factor).

受賞理由:太陽熱蒸留の実現には、太陽光を効果的に熱に変換する材料開発が鍵となっている。本研究では、ろうそくの不完全燃焼で生成するすすエアロゾル粒子を静電紡糸法で樹脂繊維膜と複合化させる新手法を提案した。モデル実験により、この複合膜が太陽光照射下で水の蒸発を促進できることを実証し、粉体工学の発展に寄与する先駆的成果と評価された。The key to achieving solar distillation lies in developing materials that effectively convert sunlight into heat. In this study, the authors propose a novel method to combine soot aerosols, generated from the incomplete combustion of candles, with resin fibrous membranes using electrospinning. Model experiments demonstrated that this composite membrane can enhance water evaporation under sunlight, marking a pioneering achievement that contributes to the advancement of powder technology.
