| 研究実績の概要 |
In fiscal year 2022, we deployed a series of biochar-based nanocatalysts towards a model reaction of steam reforming of methanol (SRM). As a proof of concept, we set out to explore, for the first time, a simple yet effective bifunctional system for SRM under harsh conditions. The combinations to achieve best SRM performance were successfully screened. Last year, we successfully used surface science experiments and first-principles calculations (e.g., HAADF-STEM, XAFS, TPSR, DFT) to reveal the catalyst structure and potential reaction mechanism for the enhanced catalysis. The paper is now under preparation. Besides, we have prepared a review about the engineering of biochar-supported metal catalysts for biomass tar elimination that is inseparably associated with the original research proposal.
