| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Carbon dioxide is strongly demanded not only to reduce its emission, but also to convert it to useful carbon resources. In this research, the development of its reduction catalysts, which are essential in above objectives, has been executed. We developed molecular catalysts bearing two iron atoms as a base metal in a catalyst molecule by keeping a suitable separation, without any use of noble metals as observed in preceding examples. We successfully realized high efficiency, high activity, and excellent robustness as well as high carbon monoxide production selectivity. Furthermore, preparation and use of the catalyst-modified electrodes after their surface optimization allow the selective CO2-to-CO conversion in an aqueous solution at a low electrical potential without accompanying any hydrogen formation. These results will open the way for the practical conversion of carbon dioxide to useful carbon resouces.
