Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Resources, environment, and energy issues should be urgently needed to solve. A fuel cells are clean devices whose emission is only water, and can be expected to replace thermal power generation and nuclear power generation. There are several fuel cells, in particular, a polymer electrolyte fuel cell, which has a large power density and can be miniaturized, is useful as a mobile power source, and has recently been mounted in automobiles for practical use. However, platinum is still used for the electrode catalyst. Platinum should not be practically used because it is scarce and expensive. In this study, we succeeded in the development of a non-platinum-based molecular fuel cell by learning natural enzymes that can active hydrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen peroxide.
