| Research Abstract |
For extensive use of fuel cells, development of efficient catalysts is indispensable. Platinum is an important catalyst in fuel cells because of its high stability and its high catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However Pt is rare in the natural resources and thereby expensive, and thus, replacement of platinum catalyst is strongly desired. In this study, vanadium is attracting much attention for ORR catalyst, and catalytic reactivities were investigated by the oxidation of fuel. As results, synthesized vanadium complexes acted as catalyst by using alcohols.
