본 발표에서는 DFT를 사용하여 개미산으로부터 수소 생산용 Pd 기반 합금 촉매의 합리적 설계를 다룰 것이다. 특히, 합금 촉매 효과 [ligand (electronic) 및 strain effect)]가 어떻게 개미산으로부터 수소 생산의 반응성과 선택도에 영향을 미칠 수 있는지를 조사하였다. 이러한 결과는 높은 촉매 성능을 달성하기 위해서 다성분 촉매의 표면 활성을 타당하게 제어하는 것이 얼마는 중요한지를 보여준다 [J. Phys. Chem. C, 118, 22254-22560 (2014), J. Nanosci. and Nanotech., 15, 8233-8237 (2015), ACS Catalysis 6 (1), 134-142 (2016)].

차세대 에너지로 연료전지가 각광을 받고 있는 현재, 세계 각국에서는 연료전지의 상용화를 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나 촉매분야에서 백금계 촉매의 사용량의 문제에 따른 매장량 한계점과 귀금속이라는 문제점이 존재하기 때문에 이에 대하여 대책강구가 필요한 시점이다. 이에 백금 촉매의 활성을 증대하고자 나노 크기의 제어 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한, 촉매의 구조적인 면에 따라 촉매의 활성이 달라지는 점을 착안하여 백금계의 나노 형상 조절 연구와 백금계 촉매를 대체할 비백금계의 촉매 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 백금계 촉매 중 Pd을 polyol process에 의한 나노 형상 조절을 통하여 단위 질량당(or 단위 부피당) 촉매의 활성을 높이고자 하였다. Polyol process에서는 환원제, 계면활성제, 온도, 시간, 기타 첨가제에 따라 나노 형상이 다르게 조절되는데, 이에 계면활성제로 PVP를 사용하고, 반응속도 및 형상조절을 위해 다양한 첨가제를 이용하여 polygonal Pd NPs을 형성하였다. 본 나노 형상 조절에서는 첨가제와 온도가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로 착안하여 그에 따른 polygoanl Pd NPs의 사이즈 조절을 통해 전기화학 특성이 차이의 연구에 중점을 두었다. 이에 따라 나노 형상 조절이 된 Pd촉매를 이용하여 상용화된 촉매(Pd/C(XC-72R))에 비하여 전기화학적인 특성의 차이와 Pd 촉매의 촉매적 특성의 효과를 보고자 한다.

Catalytic filter has many advantages for the industrial application owing to its bi-functional ability to treat nitrogen oxides and particulate simultaneously. The technical feasibility of using the catalytic filter in the flue gas treatment process will be more promoted if the high porous ceramic sheet filter is utilized. However, it is not easy to prepare the effective catalytic filter using sheet filter as it has less room for catalyst support due to its thin layer. In this study, catalytic filter using a domestic ceramic sheet filter element has been prepared and conducted the experimental evaluation for NO reduction performance. The current sheet filter element shows the low catalytic activity less than 92% conversion for NO concentration 700 ppm at the face velocity $0.02m\;s^{-1}$. This unexpected low catalytic activity seems to be caused by the present of extraordinary large pores from the lack of uniformity in the pore size distribution of the sheet filter. The large pore size of the sheet filter is reduced by composing the smaller powder as its raw material, which presents improvement in NO conversion more than 96%. More improvement is observed showing 98% NO conversion which is applicable to a commercial plant when the catalyst coating layer is expanded by adding the large $TiO_2$ particles during the catalyst preparation. Both of above two methods is regarded as that the broad gates of the larger pores in the coating layer are effectively filled with the proper catalyst. So these results encourage the utilization of sheet filter as a good catalytic filter material with its potential merit of high permeability.

Mg- and Zn-ferrites having spinel structure, a kind of complex oxides showing the advantageous properties of constituent single metal oxides, were selected to find a relationship between their catalytic activities in the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene to styrene and the catalytic properties. For the structural and physical analyses of ferrites, XRD, BET, TG/DTA, ESCA, TEM, and TPD methods were employed. The effects of Cr-substitution were intensively studied by the experimental methods mentioned above. Chromium which showed a preferential tendency to diffuse to the surface acted as a structural promoter by increasing surface area and stability of catalyst structure. In the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene, catalytic activity, and the effects of Cr-substitution were investigated. Oxygen mobility was decreased with the amount of Cr-substitution in $MgCr_xFe_{2-x}O_4$, which resulted in the increase of selectivity to styrene and the suppression of total oxidation.

An application of the optoacoustic detection method to investigate the catalytic effect of a perovskite, $Gd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$ (x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75) system, in the oxidation reaction of CO is described. The optoacoustic signals Of $CO_2$ produced from the oxidation reaction were measured for differing x values in $Gd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$. By monitoring optoacoustic signals with respect to the time, the concentration ratios of CO and $O_2$, and the temperature, the kinetic information on the catalytic properties of the perovskite for CO oxidation reaction can be obtained. The effect of Sr substitution in $Gd_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_{3-y}$ has been found to show the maximum catalytic effect at x = 0.25 and the substantial increase in catalytic activity at temperatures above 200$^{\circ}C$. It demonstrates that the optoacoustic detection method allows the investigation of the integrated catalytic effect not only for the oxidation reaction of CO, but also for many reactions, in general, by continuously and directly detecting the species associated with the reactions.

$V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems, bulk and deposited on different supports (five types of $\gamma$-aluminas, $\alpha$-alumina, silica-alumina, silica gel, magnesium oxide), have been tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of iso-butane. Catalytic performance of VSb oxides has shown to be highly dependent on the support and the nature of the support decreasing in a series: $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ > $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ > Si-Al-O > $SiO_2$ $\approx$ MgO $\gg$ unsupported. Variation of the V-Sb-O-loading in the studied range of coverage (0.5-2 theoretical monolayer) only slightly influences the catalysts' activity and selectivity. The best catalytic performance of $\gamma$-alumina-supported $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems can be explained by the optimal surface interaction between support and supported components resulting in the formation of well-spread amorphous active $VO_x$-component with vanadium in a high oxidation state.

고연소속도 HTPB/AP 추진제를 얻기 위하여 현재 각광받고 있는 3종의 철화합물 연소촉매를 선정하여 연소속도 증진효과와 기계적 특성, 공정성 및 노화특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 사용한 철 화합물은 HTPB 프리폴리머에 silicone-ferrocene이 그라프트된 $BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 과 결합제 역할을 하는 acylaziridinyl ferrocene(AAF), 그리고 입자크기가 30nm인 $NANOCAT^$\circledR$$ superfine iron oxide(SFIO)이었다. 이들 철 화합물을 추진제에 적용한 결과 공정성의 경우 $BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 은 혼합점도가 높았으나 pot life의 감소는 없었으며 AAF와 SFIO는 혼합점도는 비교적 낮은 반면 pot life가 현저히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 추진제의 노화거동은 연소촉매를 사용하지 않았을 때보다 저하되었으나 metal deactivating 산화방지제인 $PRO-TECH^$\circledR$$ 과 함께 사용할 경우 공정성 및 노화특성 모두 바람직한 수준으로 향상되었다. 기계적 특성은 SFIO를 제외하고는 저하되었으며 $BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 은 프리폴리머로서, AAF는 결합제로서의 기능이 다소 미흡하였다. 한편 연소촉매의 함량에 따른 촉매효과는 AAF>SFIO>$BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ 순이었고 철 함량 측면에서는 AAF>$BUTACENE^$\circledR$$ >SFIO 순이었다.

Electrochemical reduction of thionyl chloride has been carried out at glassy carbon and microelectrode that modified by macrocyclic compounds. The catalyst molecules of macrocyclic compounds were adsorbed on the electrode surface and reduced thionyl chloride resulting in a generation of oxidized catalyst molecules. The concentration of catalysts and electrode immersion time were found to affect the catalyst performance strongly. Significant improvements in cell performance have been noted in terms of both exchange rate constants of up to 10 times and power densities of up to 220% at glassy carbon electrode. The diffusion coefficients obtained at carbon microelectrode were slightly different from that determined at glassy carbon electrode.

The objective of this study was to depict the kinetic behavior of the platinum catalyst for the deep oxidation of VOCs and their mixture. The oxidation characteristics of VOCs, which were benzene, toluene, and styrene, was studies on a 0.5% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The reactivity increases in order benzene>toluene>styrene. In mixtures, remarkable effects on reaction rate and selectivity have been evident ; the strongest inhibiting effect was shown by styrene and increases in a reverse order with respect to that of reactivity. The reaction model reveals that there is a competition between the two reactants for the oxidized catalyst. Thus, the nontoxic catalytic oxidation process was suggested as the new VOCs control technology.
