• What actions have been taken in Japan to overcome global
warming? Is there anything suitable to do in Indonesia?
– We are trying the followings in Japan:
• Developing new technologies to use renewable energy,
i.e., solar energy, including photosynthesis especially
for H2 production.
• Developing carbon free technologies such automobile
with fuel cells.
• Promoting recycle of materials.
• Energy saving in our daily life.
– Similar ways can be promoted also in Indonesia.

Less crystal defects,
less recombination between electrons and holes
Fine crystal structure with facets,
good separation of electrons and holes
clear separation of the reaction fields

Photothermal conversion?
• Light increased the catalytic activity at each temperature.
• The cell surface temperature was 501 K in the light when
the outside temperature (with a heater) was 473 K.

Photothermal DRM
1. The metal catalyst, Rh/Al2O3 and Ni/Al2O3, showed high
catalytic activity for dry reforming of methane (DRM) at low
temperature under visible and NIR light irradiation.
2. Rh catalysts exhibited higher catalytic activity than Ni
catalysts.
3. Operand dispersive XAFS analysis revealed that the light
irradiation increases the temperature of Rh nanoparticles
(photothermal conversion) and their catalytic performance.
4. Larger NPs can be more easily heated
than smaller NPs although low dispersion
resulted in the lower production rate.
