Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research was aimed at the development of two types of carbon alloy catalysts necessary for constructing the system shown in the title. As for the preparation of the first type catalyts, we prepared carbon materials from mixtures of a starting polymer and different types of transition metal complexs and evaluated the hydrogen peroxide formation. The second type catalysts were the heteropolyacid (HPA) fixed on the carbon alloys with surface basicity. We conducted the characterization and activity test using 3-methyl -3-buten-1-ol as the reactant to be oxidezed by hydrogen peroxide. We found the possibilities to control the electronic state and the catalytic activity of HPA by tuning the surface properties of the carbon substrates.
