Structural Control of Alloy Nanoparticles Aiming at Generation of Novel Functionalities for Hydrogen Technology
(Associate Professor, Hokkaido University, Catalysis Research Center)

Chemical interactions between hydrogen and transition metals are key points toward practical use of hydrogen as an energy resource. In this study, alloy nanoparticles, which have high Reactivity with hydrogen, large freedom of atomic arrangements, and high designability, are noticed as a novel functional material for hydrogen technology. Alloy nanoparticles of which structure and metal composition are properly designed for hydrogen purification, hydrogen sensing and hydrogen storage under mild condition are produced by bottom-up synthesis on the basis of chemical reduction. image
