Outline of Final Research Achievements

The CO2 electrolytic reduction activity of various cathode materials for "supercritical CO2 electrolytic reduction reactor in which CO2 is converted to CO, was investigated with the aim of reducing the CO2 concentration in atmosphere. Among the YSZ-based cathodes, Ni/YSZ showed the best CO2 electrolytic reduction activity. However, the current efficiency of the Ni/YSZ cathode significantly lowered at temperatures below 700°C. Next, we attempted to improve the current efficiency using a Ni cathode with a new oxide ion conductor, 12CaO-7Al2O3 (C12A7). As a result, when a volume ratio of Ni to C12A7 was 2:1, a current efficiency of more than 90% was confirmed even at 700°C.
