Abstract

This chapter discusses future prospects on the role of molecular catalysts in the energy conversion technology in various fields of applications. New concepts of the molecular design are presented. In the future “hydrogen energy society,” a closed cycle consisting of hydrogen generation, storage, transmission and usage that are driven by a solar energy as the energy source is to be established. For such purpose, water photo-electrolysis, photosynthesis from CO2 to bio-energy, electrochemical solar cells and fuel cells should be the most promising options for hydrogen utilization. In this chapter, a dream of humans toward sustainable energy society will be discussed to stimulate the earliest realization of hydrogen economy using molecular catalysts for energy conversion systems.
