Benefits of technology

The catalyst and electrochemical treatment described in this patent can effectively produce carbon monoxide or formic acid from CO2 at low concentrations. This means that these chemicals can be produced from waste gases generated by facilities like thermal power stations or ironworks, which are using fossil fuels. This helps to reuse energy and reduce CO2 emissions.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, people are facing serious problems of global warming and exhaustion of carbon resources.
CO2 is, however, an end product of oxidation of carbon compounds, and hence is both physically and chemically very stable and has very low reactivity.

Re(CO)5Br

[0200]Four (4) mL of bromine was added in a dropwise manner to dichloromethane (8 mL) containing Re2(CO)10 (4.71 g, 7.21 mmol), and the resultant was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. A white solid thus separated was filtered off.

The method for producing carbon monoxide or formic acid by electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide of the present invention includes (a) reacting carbon dioxide with a metal complex represented by formula (1), and (b) applying a voltage to a reaction product of the carbon dioxide and the metal complex represented by formula (1):

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method for electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide or formic acid, and relates to a catalyst used therefor.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Currently, people are facing serious problems of global warming and exhaustion of carbon resources. As means for solving these problems, a catalyst for converting light energy into chemical energy is attracting attention. It is expected that these problems should be solved all at once if carbon dioxide (CO2) could be converted into a useful compound using inexhaustible solar energy. CO2 is, however, an end product of oxidation of carbon compounds, and hence is both physically and chemically very stable and has very low reactivity.[0003]Recently, some techniques for converting CO2 into a useful compound through reduction have been reported. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes a method for obtaining formic acid by reacting CO2 and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, and Pat...
