Metal-containing cluster catalyst, carbon dioxide reduction electrode and carbon dioxide reduction apparatus using the same

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a metal-containing cluster catalyst capable of promoting / controlling the reduction reaction of carbon dioxide with high catalytic activity and selectivity, as well as an electrode for carbon dioxide reduction and a carbon dioxide reduction device using the same. A metal-containing cluster catalyst is a catalyst used to reduce carbon dioxide, the catalyst comprising gold, silver, copper, platinum, rhodium, palladium, nickel, cobalt, iron, manganese, chromium, iridium and ruthenium. It is a cluster comprising one selected metal atom (M).
