ELECTROCHEMICAL REDUCTION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDRIDE OF NITROGEN-CONTAINING-HETEROCYCLIC AROMATIC COMPOUND OR AROMATIC HYDROCARBON COMPOUND

摘要

In the present invention, an electrolytic cell (100) has an electrolytic membrane (110), a reduction electrode (120), and an oxygen-generating electrode (130). The electrolytic membrane (110) is formed from a material (ionomer) having ion conductivity. The catalytic metal used in the reduction electrode (120) contains Pt and/or Pd, and a conductive compound contains an oxide, nitride, carbide, oxynitride, carbonitride, or partial oxide of a carbonitride of one or more metals selected from Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, and W. The oxygen-generating electrode (130) contains a noble metal oxide catalyst such as RuO 2 , IrO 2 , or the like.
