METAL-CONTAINING CLUSTER CATALYST, ELECTRODE FOR CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION USING SAME, AND CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION DEVICE

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a metal-containing cluster catalyst which is capable of promoting/controlling a reduction reaction of carbon dioxide with high catalytic activity and selectivity; an electrode for carbon dioxide reduction, which uses this metal-containing cluster catalyst; and a carbon dioxide reduction device.A metal-containing cluster catalyst according to the present invention is used for the purpose of reducing carbon dioxide; and this catalyst is a cluster that contains one metal atom (M) selected from among gold, silver, copper, platinum, rhodium, palladium, nickel, cobalt, iron, manganese, chromium, iridium and ruthenium.
