Functional Coordination Chemistry (Yamauchi) Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that uses metal complex catalysts to explore reactions of water and carbon dioxide.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring reactions of water and CO2 with metal complex catalysts.
The Functional Coordination Chemistry (Kosei Yamauchi) Lab uses metal complexes as catalysts to study reactions that drive water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction.
Centered on metal complexes, the lab studies hydrogen evolution catalysts, oxygen evolution catalysts, and the splitting of water with visible light.
Associate Professor Yamauchi belongs to the Institute for Advanced Study, and is also introduced as a member of the Coordination Chemistry Lab in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science.
Key terms
- Metal complex
- A compound in which molecules or ions are bound to a metal ion. This lab uses metal complexes as catalysts to drive reactions.
- Overall water splitting
- A reaction that splits water into both hydrogen and oxygen.
- Carbon dioxide reduction
- A reaction that gives electrons to carbon dioxide to convert it into other substances.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research themes are overall water splitting and carbon dioxide reduction using metal complex catalysts. Its research covers catalysts that produce hydrogen and oxygen, visible-light water splitting, hydrogen energy, and related topics.
