| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Polymerization of anthraquinone derivatives was carried out to give polymer membranes with electron transport capability. These membranes had insufficient mechanical durability, so that they were not suitable for use as separators.
As another approach, a redox-flow battery was constructed by use of a separator membrane consisting of carbon paper and ion-exchange membrane. In addition, redox reactions were developed that can be combined with this redox-flow cell system, namely a water-oxidizing catalyst deposited on carbon papers and electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide by use of organic catalysts.
