Li-air cell is an exotic type of energy storage and conversion device considered to be half battery and half fuel cell. Its successful commercialization highly depends on the timely development of key components. Among these key components, the catalyst (i.e., the core portion of the air electrode) is of critical importance and of the upmost priority. Indeed, it is expected that these catalysts will have a direct and dramatic impact on the Li-air cell's performance by reducing overpotentials, as well as by enhancing the overall capacity and cycle life of Li-air cells. Unfortunately, the technological advancement related to catalysts is sluggish at present. Based on the insights gained from this review, this sluggishness is due to challenges in both the commercialization of the catalyst, and the fundamental studies pertaining to its development. Challenges in the commercialization of the catalyst can be summarized as 1) the identification of superior materials for Li-air cell catalysts, 2) the development of fundamental, material-based assessments for potential catalyst materials, 3) the achievement of a reduction in both cost and time concerning the design of the Li-air cell catalysts. As for the challenges concerning the fundamental studies of Li-air cell catalysts, they are 1) the development of experimental techniques for determining both the nano and micro structure of catalysts, 2) the attainment of both repeatable and verifiable experimental characteristics of catalyst degradation, 3) the development of the predictive capability pertaining to the performance of the catalyst using fundamental material properties. Therefore, under the current circumstances, it is going to be an extremely daunting task to develop appropriate catalysts for the commercialization of Li-air batteries; at least within the foreseeable future. Regardless, nano materials are expected to play a crucial role in this field.

본 연구에서는 DME 직접 합성을 위한 혼성촉매가 두 가지 방법으로 제조되었으며, 이들의 촉매적 활성이 조사되었다. DME 합성을 위한 혼성촉매는 메탄올 합성과 메탄올 탈수반응에 촉매적 활성을 가진 성분들로 제조되었다. 메탄올 합성촉매는 Cu와 Zn이 함유된 전구물질로부터 합성되었으며, 메탄올 탈수촉매는 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$를 이용하였다. 두 촉매는 물리혼합법과 침전법에 의해서 혼성촉매로 제조되었다. 물리혼합법은 두 촉매를 분말상태에서 혼합하는 것이며, 침전법은 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매상에 Cu-Zn 또는 Cu-Zn-Al 성분을 퇴적시키는 방법이다. 제조된 촉매의 물리적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 X선 회절법에 의한 결정구조, 질소흡착에 의한 BET 표면적, $N_2O$ 화학흡착에 의한 Cu의 표면적 그리고 주사전자현미경에 의한 표면형상 등이 조사되었다. 또한 이들 혼성촉매의 촉매적 활성은 여러 가지 반응조건을 변화시키면서 조사되었다. 이때 반응온도는 $250{\sim}290^{\circ}C$, 반응압력은 30~70 atm, $[H_2]/[CO]$ 몰비는 0.5~2.0, 그리고 공간속도는 $1,500{\sim}6,000 h^{-1}$ 촉매활성이 조사되었다. 반응성 실험 결과로부터 침전법으로 제조된 혼성촉매(CP-CZA/D)가 물리혼합법으로 제조된 혼성촉매(PM-CZ+D)보다 우수한 반응성을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 반응 온도, 압력, $[H_2]/[CO]$ 비, 공간속도가 각각 $260^{\circ}$, 50 atm, 1.0, $3,000h^{-1}$인 조건에서 침전법에 의해 제조된 촉매의 CO 전화율이 72%로 물리혼합법으로 제조된 촉매보다 약 20% 이상 높았다. $N_2O$ 화학흡착실험으로부터 Cu 표면적을 측정한 결과, PM-CZ+D 혼성촉매보다 CP-CZA/D 혼성촉매의 Cu 표면적이 더 높았다. 그러므로 침전법으로 제조된 혼성촉매상의 Cu입자가 더 잘 분산되었기 때문에 촉매의 활성이 개선된 것으로 판단된다.

The synthesis of Fischer-Tropsch oil is the catalytic hydrogenation of CO to give a range of products, which can be used for the production of high-quality diesel fuel, gasoline and linear chemicals. Our cobalt based catalyst was prepared Co/alumina, silica and titania by the incipient wet impregnation of the nitrates of cobalt and promoter with supports. Cobalt catalysts was calcined at $350^{\circ}C$ before being loaded into the FT reactors. After the reduction of catalyst has been carried out under $450^{\circ}C$ for 24hrs, FT reaction of the catalyst has been carried out at GHSV of 4,000/hr under $200^{\circ}C$ and 20atm. From these test results, we have obtained the results as following ; in case of 12wt% Co-supported $Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ catalysts, maximum activities of the catalysts were appeared at the promoters of Mn, Mo and Ce respectively. The activity of 12wt% $Co/Al_2O_3$ added a Mn promoter was about 3 times as high as that of 12wt% $Co/Al_2O_3$ catalyst without promoters. When it has been the experiment at the range of reaction temperature of $200{\sim}220^{\circ}C$ and GHSV of 1,546~5,000/hr, the results have shown generally increasing the activities with the increase of reaction temperature and GHSV.

본 연구에서는 시차주사열량계시험, 반응열시험, 접착전단시험을 통해 자가치료제의 열분석 특성과 접착 특성을 평가하였다. 자가치료제는 DCPD와 ENB의 혼합비에 따라 D1E0, D3E1, D1E1, D1E3, D0E1을 고려하였다. 촉매는 Grubbs' catalyst를 자가치료제의 종류에 따라 0.1 wt%에서 1.5 wt%까지 적용하였다. DCPD의 경우는 촉매 양이 많을수록 중합반응이 빠르고 안정화된 접착강도가 높아지지만 많은 양의 촉매가 요구된다. ENB의 경우 촉매와의 반응성이 우수하여 적은 양의 촉매로도 빠른 중합반응을 얻을 수 있지만 반응열이 높게 나타난다. DCPD와 ENB의 혼합비를 변화시키면 자가치료제의 열분석 특성 및 접착 특성을 조절할 수 있으며 본 연구에서 고려한 자가치료제 중 D3E1가 최대접착강도, 최대접착강도에 도달하는 시간, 안정화된 접착강도, 반응열 측면에서 자가치료제로 가장 유리함을 알 수 있다.

With the aim of achieving half the regulated value of EURO-3 Emission Regulations, an ultra low emission motorcycle has been developed based on a motorcycle with an 1800 $cm^3$, horizontal opposed 6-cylinder engine. For the fuel supply system, an electronically controlled fuel injection system was applied. For the emission purification system, three-way catalysts, a feedback control system with a LAF(Linear Air-Fuel ratio) sensor, and a secondary air induction system were applied. To reduce CO and HC emissions during cold starting, an early catalyst activation method combining RACV(Rotary Air Control Valve) and retarded ignition timing was applied. After the catalyst activation, air-fuel ratio was controlled to maximize the purification ratio of the catalyst according to vehicle speed. For the air-fuel ratio control system, the LAF sensor was used. Furthermore, fine adjustment by the LAF feedback control reduced torque fluctuation due to the air-fuel ratio change. As a result, smooth ride feeling was maintained. Owing to these technologies, half the regulated value of EURO-3 has been achieved without any negative impact to the large-scaled motorcycles' drivability. This paper presents the developed ultra low emission technologies including the control method using an LAF sensor.

Carbon dioxide reforming of methane on Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was studied. A new 10 wt% Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalyst prepared by the liquid phase oxidation method (L10O) exhibited much higher activity as well as resistances to both sintering and coke formation during the reaction than the catalyst prepared by the conventional impregnation method (D10). The electrically strong attractive interaction between nickel and support during the liquid phase oxidation process and the resultant high nickel dispersion made the L10 have superior activity and stability to the D10. To elucidate the results, the experiments with nickel catalysts on the other supports as well as 7-AI203 were performed. The effect of sodium as a promoter was also studied.

본 연구에서는 자가손상보수에 적용되는 Grubbs' catalyst의 열안정성과 자가치료제와의 반응성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 제조사에서 공급된 4종류를 고려하였으며 제조사에서 공급받은 상태와 기계적으로 분쇄시킨 상태로 시험하였다. 자가치료제는 Dicyclopentadiene (DCPD)과 5-ethylidene-2-norbonene (ENB)을 적절한 비율로 혼합한 4종류를 고려하였다. 촉매의 열안정성을 조사하기 위해 시차주사 열량측정장치를 통해 온도에 따른 열흐름 변화를 측정하였다. 자가치료제와의 반응성을 평가하기 위해 촉매와 혼합된 자가치료제의 반응열을 측정하였다. 이때 촉매는 자가치료제와 반응할 때의 최대온도와 최대온도 도달시간을 고려하여 Fluka Chemika Grubbs' catalyst를 적용하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 촉매는 제조사에 따라 다른 형상을 나타내며 입자의 크기가 작은 촉매가 자가치료제와 높은 반응성을 나타내었다. ENB의 혼합비가 높은 자가치료제가 촉매와 혼합되면 최대온도는 증가하고 최대온도 도달시간은 빨라졌다. 또한 촉매의 양이 많을수록 최대온도는 높아지고 최대온도 도달시간은 빨라졌다. 촉매의 열안정성과 자가치료제와의 반응성을 고려할 때 0.5 wt% 촉매와 D3E1 자가치료제가 자가손상보수를 위한 최적 조건임을 알 수 있었다. 마지막으로 노출된 분위기 온도에 따라 촉매에 열분해가 발생할 수 있기 때문에 촉매가 열안정성을 갖는 온도보다 높은 온도에 노출되지 않도록 하여야 한다.

Antagonists of the d -opioid receptor are effective in overcoming resistance against analgesic drugs such as morphine. To identify novel antagonists of the d -opioid receptor that display high potency and low resistance, we performed 3D-QSAR analysis using chemical feature-based pharmacophore models. Chemical features for d -opioid receptor antagonists were generated using quantitative (Catalyst/HypoGen) and qualitative (Catalyst/HipHop) approaches. For HypoGen analysis, we collected 16 peptide and 16 non-peptide antagonists as the training set. The best-fit pharmacophore hypotheses of the two antagonist models comprised identical features, including a hydrophobic aromatic (HAR), a hydrophobic (HY), and a positive ionizable (PI) function. The training set of the HipHop model was constructed with three launched opioid drugs. The best hypothesis from HipHop included four features: an HAR, an HY, a hydrogen bond donor (HBD), and a PI function. Based on these results, we confirm that HY, HAR and PI features are essential for effective antagonism of the d -opioid receptor, and determine the appropriate pharmacophore to design such antagonists.
