| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hydrogen is attracting attention as a next-generation energy source, but because it is difficult to handle, there is a need to develop technology to convert hydrogen to other compounds for storage and transportation. Formic acid is known as an inexpensive hydrogen storage material with low impact on the human body and the environment. In this study, we have developed a highly durable catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction by dehydrogenation of formic acid.
The introduction of electron-donating substituents was found to be effective in improving the catalytic activity and durability of the catalyst. The catalyst maintained its performance for 43 days, which is the world's highest performance in aqueous solution.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究課題では，ギ酸の脱水素化からの水素発生反応に対し，高活性かつ高耐久性触媒の開発に成功した．本成果は，水素を化石燃料に代わるエネルギー燃料として用いる社会への移行に資するものであると考えられる．また，今回開発された触媒は実用化には及ばないが，耐久性という観点から研究を行った点で，学術的に意義の大きかったものであるといえる．
