Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have addressed as follows; First, by two operating modes for the reaction, one for the fixed catalyst temperature and the other of electric power on microwave occurrence, Secondary, for finding of the factor to deterioration in the reaction, The third, for application towards C2 and C3 hydrocarbons, The fourth, for improvement of the catalys to work with small energy supply. Besides, we investigated that the carbon-based particles included the nickel-carbon nano-onions (Ni-CNO), which consisted of multiwalled graphene covered nickel, possessed unique properties. We developed the separation and purification procedure and observed oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performances. As a result, the onset potentials for ORR at the purified Ni-CNO were good and closed to at Pt/C electrode.Due to the evidence for the mechanism of Ni-CNO formation on the basis of interstitial solid solution theory, the relationship between the carbon dissolved energy and the catalytic activity was discussed.
