研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This work target to systematically design heterogeneous Cu-based catalysts for electrochemical CO2 reduction to value-added products. We propose novel structure of catalytic materials with highly porous materials and Cu metal catalysts for facile CO2 activation and improved C-C coupling.

研究実績の概要 |
As this project aims to achieve efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction with strategies using porous materials as supporting materials to boost total CO2 conversion. Up to now, we established high CO2 conversion with Zr-MOF support for Bi catalyst to generate formic acid production. In detail, as we successfully coupled UiO-66 with Bi particles, we deeply investigated the reason for the improvement in this research period. According to Raman, XPS and FTIR analysis, carbonate concentration should be increased at Zr site, resulting in higher CO2 utilization for Bi catalysts. However, we still have challenging issues regarding the stability. Due to Zr-MOF's structural evolution under strong alkaline condition, as the electrolysis time goes, CO2-reducing current density is gradually decreased. Thus, we are on-going to solve the stability and make clear the specific reason for improved activity.

理由
After changing the strategy with MOF supporting materials due to failure with Cu catalysts on boron carbon nitride, we successfully demonstrated the improved CO2 conversion with Bi catalysts. Even though it is not firstly planned, it is also significant for design principal of electrocatalyst with high CO2 conversion. In the final year of research, I will continue to clarify not only the mechanism, but also apply same strategy for multi-carbon production.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
In the next phase, the efforts to explain why CO2 conversion rate is increased with Zr-MOF will be carried out with model catalyst like Bi/ZrO2. Due to the unstability of MOF structure during electrolysis, I will focus on the catalysts surface with in situ spectroscopic technology (Raman). Then, to expand the application, I will also continue to find new catalysts materials to produce highly value-added chemicals (C2+) with Cu, Ni, etc.
