Outline of Final Research Achievements

New carbon electrode catalyst was developed by using non-equilibrium plasma CVD method for the application to fuel cell or electrochemical synthesis. Carbon electrode with wall shape was synthesized and N-atom doping was tested.
Electrochemical evaluation showed high reduction current than ever. But effect of N-atom doping was limited.
