Outline

We are aimed at developing high-performance catalysts which convert naturally abundant methane and/or carbon dioxide into valuable carbon-resources including alcohols and/or hydrocarbons (C1 conversions). Tailored nanophase-separation structures of alloy materials act as efficient catalytic centers (nanophase-separation catalysts) which realize enhanced C1-conversion yields and improved tolerance to carbon precipitation.
