Deepening of the Precise Reaction Field
in Solution Plasma and Development of
Advanced Carbon Catalyst
In order to establish the precise synthesis field through solution plasma, we will construct a novel spectroanalysis method and identify the excited species and active species. In this reaction field, we synthesize novel carbon materials from aromatic compounds including hetero atoms such as nitrogen, boron, and phosphorus. These materials with tuned electric structure work as a catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction by tuning the electric structure. The catalyst will be realized as a cathode material for metal-air battery. Finally, we aim to establish the fundamental on solution plasma for molecular technology.
