Times Cited Count:8 Percentile:32.94(Chemistry, Physical)The safe decommissioning as well as decontamination of the radioactive waste resulting from the nuclear accident in Fukushima Daiichi represents a huge task for the next decade. At present, research and development on long-term safe storage containers has become an urgent task with international cooperation in Japan. One challenge is the generation of hydrogen and oxygen in significant amounts by means of radiolysis inside the containers, as the nuclear waste contains a large portion of sea water. The generation of radiolysis gases may lead to a significant pressure build-up inside the containers and to the formation of flammable gases with the risk of ignition and the loss of integrity. In the framework of the project "R&D on technology for reducing concentration of flammable gases generated in long-term waste storage containers" funded by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT), the potential application of catalytic recombiner devices inside the storage containers is investigated. In this context, a suitable catalyst based on the so-called intelligent automotive catalyst for use in a recombiner is under consideration. The catalyst is originally developed and mass-produced for automotive exhaust gas purification, and is characterized by having a self-healing function of precious metals (Pd, Pt and Rh) dissolved as a solid solution in the perovskite type oxides. The basic features of this catalyst have been tested in an experimental program. The test series in the REKO-4 facility has revealed the basic characteristics of the catalyst required for designing the recombiner system.

Times Cited Count:125 Percentile:93.57(Chemistry, Physical)In situ electrochemical X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements were performed at the Pt L and Ce L
edges of the Pt-CeO
/C catalyst, which was prepared by a combined process of precipitation and coimpregnation methods, as well as at the Pt L
edge of the conventional Pt/C catalyst in oxygen-saturated H
SO
solution to clarify the role of CeO
in the reduction of the overpotential for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the Pt-CeO
nanocomposite compared with the conventional Pt/C catalyst. XAFS measurements clearly show that the enhancement of ORR activity is attributed to the inhibition of Pt oxide formation by the CeO
layer, of which Ce
was oxidized to Ce
instead of Pt at the Pt oxide formation potential.

It is found that the magnetic chirality is proportional to the electric polarization and magnetic chirality can be switched by the polarity of the electric polarization in both the CM and LT-ICM phases. However, upon the transition from the CM to LT-ICM phase, the reduction of the electric polarization is not accompanied by any reduction of the magnetic chirality, implying that the CM and LT-ICM phases contain different mechanisms of the magnetoelectric coupling.

Multiferroic materials are known to show gigantic magnetoelectric effects. One of the microscopic models for polarization in such systems is based on spin chirality. We have perfoermed polarized neutron scattering experiments using HoMnO
single crystal to study correlation between the spin chirality and ferroelectric polarization. We found that the spin chirality is absent in the high temperature paraelectric HT-ICM phase whereas it appears in the ferroelectric LT-ICM phase. This fact demonstrates a strong coupling between the spin chirality and the ferroelctric polarization.
