中空炭素の物理化学的特性を利用したCO₂吸着材およびCO₂変換触媒の開発

抄録

CO₂ capture as well as thermocatalytic and electrocatalytic CO₂ conversions provide promising ways for achieving global carbon neutrality, and the development of corresponding advanced adsorbents and catalysts is important but challenging. Hollow-structure carbon materials with striking features, including a unique cavity structure, good permeability, large surface area, good electrical conductivity and an easily readily functionalized surface, are flexible platforms for designing high-performance adsorbents and catalysts. This review describes the author's recent research work ranging from the development of CO₂ adsorbents to thermocatalytic and electrocatalytic CO conversion catalysts that take advantage of the interesting physicochemical properties of hollow-structure carbon materials.
