Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A research on advanced material design of nanocarbon materials for ecology energy and useful for environmental society was carried out, and the obtained important results are summarized as follows. (1) We developed a phthalocyanine iron (II) complex/ carbon nanotube (CNT) composite with high oxygen reduction ability. (2) A new high-performance bifunctional electrode catalyst made from nickel, iron, and sulfur was developed, and applied the material for fabrication of a high-performance Zn-air battery. (3) A nickel coordinated polymer / nanocarbon-based molecular catalyst was developed. (4) Various flavin derivatives having long-chain groups were designed and synthesized, and their self-assembly on the surface of the single-walled CNTs (SWNTs) was used to achieve highly selective separation of semiconducting SWNTs. The separation mechanism was elucidated by computational chemistry. These achievements are of importance for simple selective separation of semiconducting SWNTs.
