Waseda Frontline Research Feature Vol.19 : Exploring Undiscovered Potential of Catalysts (3/4)

Professor Yasushi Sekine was the first to establish a catalytic reaction for creating hydrogen by applying an electric field that exerts a slight electric force, and explained its mechanism. The results of his research can also be applied to methods of generating ammonia, a substance that stores and transports hydrogen. This time, he talks about his research and development of a “hydrogen carrier,” essential for the realization of a hydrogen society, focusing on ammonia and organic hydride as keywords.  ＜More＞
