[2Aa02(基調講演、2023学会賞)] Surface design of nanostructured catalysts for energy and environmental uses

*Hiromi Yamashita¹ (1. Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University)

Designs of “active sites", "reaction fields" and “energy injection” are essential for catalyst development In the nanospace of zeolite, mesoporous silica and metal-organic framework (MOF), it is possible to control the structure of catalytic active sites and also possible to control the reaction fields. Ultrafine semiconductor photocatalysts, single-site photocatalysts, plasmonic catalysts, and MOF photocatalysts, can be designed for H₂ production-storage-transportation, CO₂ fixation, H₂O₂ synthesis, and various environmental reactions.
