| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found that catalytic reactions can be promoted by application of an electric field using a semiconductor support even at low temperature. In order to investigate the proton conduction which is considered to be occurring during the application of electric field, we observed the catalyst surface directly by operando FT - IR, and monitored the conductivity of the surface by the AC impedance method. Apparent activation activation energy was calculated and conduction mechanism was investigated. As a result, it was found that dissociative adsorption of methane was promoted in improving the activity of methane steam reforming by applying an electric field. In addition, as a result of the test using isotope, the inverse isotope effect was observed, and it became clear that dissociation of CH4 is proceeded by a novel reaction mechanism.
