University team develops molybdenum catalyst for nitrogen immobilization reaction at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure

The groups of Yoshiaki NISHIBAYASHI at the University of Tokyo and of Kazunari YOSHIZAWA of Kyushu University have jointly developed a molybdenum PCP type pincer complex which produced ammonia catalytically by reacting atmospheric nitrogen gas with a reducing agent and a proton source at room temperature. The molybdenum nitrogen catalyst showed catalytic activity even after […]

NGK Spark Plug Co. develops combined power generation system from fuel cell and gas turbine

Under a NEDO contract, the device uses a combination of a micro gas turbine from Nippon Triarium Co. and of a cylindrical solid oxide fuel cell. As SOFC have a high power generation efficiency at high temperature, contributing to reduction of environmental burden, combined power generation with a micro gas turbine is expected to increase […]
