The trend of poisoning of reforming catalyst along with the position of anodic catalyst bed was studied. Keeping the conditions that steam to carbon ratio was 2.5, operating voltage was 0.75 V, current density was $140mA/cm^2$, the unit cell was operated during 24 hrs at a steady state. And then the cell was stopped, the catalysts packed in the position of inlet, middle and outlet were sampled individually and then the amount of carbon, Li and K poisoned were analysed. After 100 hrs operated, the catalysts at the same positions were analysed at the same manner. The result of this experiment was as followings. After 24 hrs operated, the poisoning amounts of Li and K in the catalyst were 0.27 wt% at inlet, 0.23 wt% at middle and the highest value 1.59 wt% at outlet. After 100 hrs, the amount of poisoning is the highest in the catalyst packed at the inlet of unit cell. The performance simulation of unit cell explained these trends of poisoning catalysts. The simulation told that the catalyst in the region of the inlet of unit cell treated the 90% of initial methane flow rate and the highest electrochemical reaction happened in this region. So the catalysts of this region were the most poisoned with carbon, Li and K and also the rate of poisoning is faster than that of the catalyst at other regions. The temperature at the region of outlet of unit cell was $30^{\circ}C$ higher than that of other regions, so more Li, and K vaporized than at other regions and little reforming reaction at this region made the catalysts poisoning rate low.

The synthesis and characterization of catalysts supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). $Pt/Au/TiO_2$ is added to a CNTs(cabon nano tube) carbon support to improve the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell. XRD and SEM showed that uniform anatase $TiO_2$ and Pt/Au particles were about 200 nm and 20${\sim}$25 nm in diameter. The composite catalyst activities were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV), demonstrating that it is more promising for use in fuel cells.

As abnormal climatic event occur frequently due to global warming, many nations have proclaimed their commitment to achieving carbon neutrality and are actively pursuing a transition toward a hydrogen economy. At this time, ammonia has garnered significant attention not only as a high-capacity hydrogen carrier but also as a promising candidate as a carbon-free fuel. In particular, anion exchange membrane fuel cells offer the advantage of directly supplying ammonia to the fuel cell, eliminating the necessity for separate ammonia decomposition or hydrogen purification. Therefore, in this study, the operation principle and research trend of the anion exchange membrane fuel cell are reviewed, and several research using ammonia as a fuel in anion exchange membrane fuel cell are also investigated.

Porous carbon nanofibers(CNF) were synthesized via NaOH activation at 700~$900^{\circ}C$, and the porous CNF-supported PtRu catalysts were evaluated for the anode in direct methanol fuel cells. The change of surface characteristics by NaOH activation was examined by analyses of the specific surface area and pore size distribution. The morphological and structural modification was investigated under scanning electron microscopy. The activity of catalysts supported on porous CNFs was examined by cyclic voltammograms and single cell tests. The pore formation on CNF by the NaOH activation was discussed, concerning the catalyst activity, when they were applied as catalyst supports.

Nickel-based bimetallic catalysts were investigated for use in direct borohydride/hydrogen peroxide fuel cells. For anode and cathode, PdNi and AuNi catalysts were used, respectively. Nickel-based bimetallic catalysts have been investigated through various methods, such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The performance of the catalysts was evaluated through fuel cell tests. The maximum power density of the fuel cell with nickel-based bimetallic catalysts was found to be higher than that of the fuel cell with the monometallic catalysts. The nickel-based bimetallic catalysts also exhibited a stable performance up to 60 minutes.

Cryogel and aerogel Pt-Ru/C were synthesized by the sol-gel process for the electrooxidation of methanol. From XRD analysis, it was found that the catalysts had highly dispersed Pt-Ru alloys on carbon support although high temperature treatments have been conducted. Electrocatalytic activities of 3 type aerogel catalysts were investigated in half cell experiments by cyclic voltammetry. Among them, Phloroglucinol-Formaldehyde(PF) type catalyst shows the highest activity. From the results of deactivation test for each catalysts, the aerogel catalysts are found to have excellent durability compared with those prepared by colloidal method.

최근 화석연료 고갈 문제를 해결하기 위해 대체에너지 개발과 다양한 형태의 에너지 개발에 관한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 특히, supercapacitor는 high energy density, high power density, longer life-time과 같은 특성으로 인해 에너지 저장 소자로 각광 받고 있다. Supercapacitor는 석유를 대체할 수 있으며 이산화탄소 배출이 없는 친환경 에너지인 태양광, 풍력, 수소연료전지 등의 신재생에너지 저장장치로써 큰 비중을 차지한다. Supercapacitor의 종류인 electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) 는 전극과 전해질 사이에 발생하는 전기 이중층에 축적되는 전하를 이용하여 에너지를 저장하는 반응 메커니즘을 가지며 전극 재료로는 탄소 소재를 사용한다. 탄소 소재는 환경 오염이 적고 가격이 저렴하며 넓은 표면적이라는 장점이 있다. 하지만 기존 탄소 소재는 이러한 장점을 가지지만 supercapacitor로써의 효율이 좋지 않게 나온다. 이런 문제를 개선하기 위하여 그래핀 나노플레이트(Graphene nanoplate, GNP) 위에 직접 탄소나노튜브(Carbon nanotube, CNT)를 성장 시킴으로써 GNP-CNT 하이브리드 탄소 소재를 제조하여 전극으로 사용하였다. 이 GNP-CNT 하이브리드 탄소 소재는 다차원 구조를 가짐으로써 기존 탄소 소재들보다 분산이 잘되고 전해질과의 작용하는 비표면적이 넓다. 전극을 제작하여 Cyclic voltammetry(CV)와 galvano를 측정한 결과는 기존 탄소나노튜브보다 5배 정도의 정전용량(Capacitance)를 가졌다. 이 전극의 구조적 특성을 관찰하기 위해 SEM, TEM 등을 측정하였다.
