Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we developed a visible light responsive "hybrid photocatalyst" using dyes by combining dyes-inorganic oxides-iron complex promoters. (1) Development of dye-sensitized photocatalyst using model compound of supported dye (2) Development of iron complex ligand was independently performed and optimized. Based on these results, we investigated (3) photocatalytic hydrogen production by the combination of dye-photocatalyst-iron cocatalyst hydrogen production. Although the activity was low, generation of hydrogen was confirmed under visible light irradiation. From the above, we constructed an organic dye-photocatalyst-iron complex hybrid photocatalyst, which was the subject of this research, and were able to achieve water-splitting hydrogen production under light irradiation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

光触媒は水素生成サイトとして希少な白金を助触媒として用いており、これは光触媒の大量供給にはふさわしいとはいえない。白金以外の助触媒研究も酸化イリジウムや酸化ルテニウムを用いた貴金属系が主体で、非貴金属系助触媒の研究は極めて少ない。白金は地表に0.5μ%しか存在しないが、鉄は地表に4.7%存在し、価格も100万分の1で安価な元素であり、従来の白金に変わり安価で安定的に供給可能な助触媒として期待できる。そこで本研究では水素製造能を有することが知られている、鉄ヒドロゲナーゼの鉄模倣触媒に注目した。本研究により安価な光触媒系の開発が可能となる。
