Pt-Ni 합금의 질서-무질서 상전이 현상과 {111}표면에서의 편석현상을 Ising 형태의 해밀토니안 을 이용한 몬테 카를로 시뮬레이션으로 연구하였다. 표면 편석 현상을 질서-무질서 상전이 현상과 연관 시켜 고려함으로서 기존의 편석과 질서에 관한 실험 결과들을 좀 더 구체적으로 이해하게 하였다. PtxNi1-x{111} 의 경우 표면편석 현상은 덩어리의 상전이 온도 이전에서부터 나타나며 이는 표면이 덩어 리의 단면 형태의 질서와는 다른 화학적 질서를 갖는 특징에 기인하는 것임을 보았다. 표면 근방에만 한정된 진동하는 형태의 표면 편석현상을 보았고 이는 실험결과들과도 잘 일치하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

최근 WGS반응용 Pt 촉매의 성능 향상을 위한 다양한 담체 및 조촉매(Promotor) 개발에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 선행 연구결과, 입방(Cubic)구조를 가지는 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 담체는 정방 입계(Tetragonal)구조를 가지는 $Ce_{0.2}Zr_{0.8}O_2$ 담체 또는 혼합산화물(Mixed oxide)구조를 가지는 $Ce_{0.5}Zr_{0.5}O_2$ 담체 보다 높은 활성과 안전성을 가진다. 이것은 촉매의 성능 향상이 Ce-$ZrO_2$의 결정구조에 의존한다는 것을 나타낸다. 따라서 WGS 반응에서 Ce/Zr 비에 따라 변화된 담체 특성이 Pt 촉매의 활성에 영향이 있을 것으로 예상되며 실험결과 1% Pt/$CeO_2$ 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 Pt/Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매의 성능 향상을 위해 Ce-$ZrO_2$ 담체에 조촉매인 Ni을 첨가하여 촉매적 활성을 비교하여 보았다. 촉매는 2%의 Pt과 15%의 Ni로 고정하였고 Ce/Zr 비를 제조변수로 하였다. 제조된 모든 담체는 공침법(Co-precipitation)을 사용하여 제조하였으며 $500^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 소성하였다. Pt 촉매는 함침법 (Incipient wetness impregnation)으로 담지 시켰다. 2% Pt/Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매와 2% Pt/15% Ni-Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매는 저온영역($200^{\circ}{\sim}320^{\circ}C$)에서 비슷한 CO 전환율을 나타내었으나 고온영역($360^{\circ}C{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)에서는 2% Pt/15% Ni-Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매가 더 높은 CO의 전환율을 나타내었다. 이것은 Ni의 영향으로 고온에서 부반응인 메탄화 반응(Methanation reaction)이 생긴 것으로 판단되어 메탄($CH_4$)의 선택도를 살펴본 결과 2% Pt/15% Ni-Ce-$ZrO_2$ 촉매가 고온영역($360^{\circ}{\sim}400^{\circ}C$)에서 급격하게 증가하는 것으로 나타나 메탄화 반응이 일어난 사실을 증명한다.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the thermal durability characteristics of the Pt catalyst and additives used in a catalytic combustor. The catalyst used in the experiment was based on Pt (3 wt%), and a total of 12 types were prepared using a combination of additives (Ni, La, Ce, Fe, and Co). From the results, In the fresh state, the two types of combination catalysts with the highest C₃H₈ conversion were Pt_Ce (79.9%) at 500℃, and in the three types of combination catalysts, Pt_La_Ni (93.4%) at 500℃ had the best performance. Among aged catalysts at 850℃ and 8 hours, Pt-La-Ni and Pt-Ni-Ce catalysts showed the highest C₃H₈ conversion of about 71% at 500℃.

The effects of oxidation on the order-disorder transition in NiPt bimetallic alloy crystal have been investigated using in-situ synchrotron x-ray scattering technique. The temperature dependence of the crystal structure and the order parameter were measured during in-situ heating and cooling under vacuum and oxygen environments. The order-disorder transition temperature of NiPt alloy crystals in vacuum was between $615^{\circ}C$ and $627^{\circ}C$. On the other hand under oxygen environment, the transition temperature decreases by about $31^{\circ}C$ after the oxidation. The change of the transition temperature can be explained by the formation of NiO crust on the surface of NiPt crystal, which alters the composition of the Ni and Pt atoms. Since the transition temperature depends sensitively on the Ni-Pt composition, the transition temperature changes as Ni atoms diffuse out to form NiO.

We study the diffusion of Ag based bimetallic nanoclusters supported on graphite. Using a molecular dynamics simulation, we reveal that the Ag clusters show rapid diffusion because of their hexagonal bottom layer. In order to decrease the rate of diffusion, we added Pt and Ni to distort the structure of the alloy cluster (i.e., the alloying method). We expected Pt to provide a stronger force on Ag atoms, and Ni to shorten the bond length and thereby change the structure of Ag cluster. However, the attempt was unsuccessful, because Pt and Ni atoms formed cores inside the Ag clusters. We therefore designed a collision system where large Ag clusters collide with small Pt or Ni clusters. Upon collision with Pt clusters, the diffusion showed little change, because Pt atoms are substituted at the Ag atomic site and form a perfectly ordered structure. The collision with Ni, however, deforms the bottom layer as well as the overall cluster structure and decreases diffusion. This outcome appoints toward the possibility of further application to the manufacture of durable nanocatalysts.

The dc magnetron sputter deposited (Pt/Co/Pt/Ni) multilayers which exhibited Curie temperatures in the range of 150-$300^{\circ}C$ were studied as possible alternative multilayers for magneto-optical recording to the widely studied Co/Pt, whose Curie temperatures are in the range of 200~$400^{\circ}C$. The Coercivities of these multilayers were between 450 Oe and 800 Oe. These multilayers exhibited comparable magnetic and magneto-optical properties to Co/Pt multilayers with enhancement of the Kerr rotation at lower wavelengths and negligible Kerr ellipticity over a wide range of the spectrum (4000~7000$\AA$ ).

In this research, we investigate electrical performance and electrochemical properties of graphene supported Pt (Pt/G) and PtM (M = Ni and Y) alloy catalysts (PtM/Gs) that are synthesized by modified polyol method. With the PtM/Gs that are adopted for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), their catalytic activity and ORR performance and electrical performance are estimated and compared with one another. Their particle size, particle distribution and electrochemically active surface (EAS) area are measured by TEM and cyclic voltammetry (CV), respectively. On the other hand, regarding ORR activity and electrical performance of the catalysts, (i) linear sweeping voltammetry by rotating disk electrode and rotating ring-disk electrode and (ii) PEMFC single cell tests are used. The TEM and CV measurements demonstrate particle size and EAS of PtM/Gs are compatible with those of Pt/G. In case of PtNi/G, its half-wave potential, kinetic current density, transferred electron number per oxygen molecule and $H_2O_2$ production % are excellent. Based on data obtained by half-cell test, when PEMFC singlecell tests are carried out, current density measured at 0.6V and maximum power density of the PEMFC single cell employing PtNi/G are better than those employing Pt/G. Conclusively, PtNi/Gs synthesized by modified polyol shows better ORR catalytic activity and PEMFC performance than other catalysts.

The electrocatalystic prperties of Pt-Co and Pt-Ni with heteropolyacids (HPAs) entrapped in covalently cross-linked sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (CL-SPEEK)/HPA membranes were investigated for water electrolysis. The HP As, including molybdophosphoric acid (MoPA), and tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) were both used as membrane additives and electrocatalysts. The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) was prepared by a nonequilibrium impregnation-reduction (I-R) method. $Pt(NH_3)_4Cl_2$, $NiCl_2$ and $CoCl_2$ as electrocatalytic materials and $NaBH_4$ as reducing agent were used. I order to enhance electrocatalytic activity, the catalyst layer prepared above was electrodeposited (Dep) with HP A. Surface morphologies and physico-chemical properties of MEA were investigated by means of SEM, EDX and XRD. The electrocatalytic properties of composite membranes such as the cell voltage and coulombic charge in CV were in the order of magnitude: CL-SPEEK/MoPA40 (wt%) > CL-SPEEK/TPA30 > Nafion117. In the optimum cell applications for water electrolysis, the cell voltage of Pt/CL-SPEEK-MoPA40/Pt-Co (Dep-MoPA) and Pt/CL-SPEEK-TPA30/Pt-Co (Dep-TPA) was 1.75 Vat $80^{\circ}C$ and $1\;A/cm^2$ and voltage efficiency was 87.1%. Also, the observed activity of Pt-Co (84:16 atomic ratio by EDX) is a little higher than that of Pt-Ni (86: 14). The current density peak of electrodeposited electrodes were better a little than those of unactivated electrodes based on the same membranes.

We have synthesized $Pt_xNi_y$ alloy nanodendrites by a thermal decomposition method. The structure and composition of the as-prepared samples were characterized by field-emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The growth mode of the $Pt_xNi_y$ alloy samples synthesized as a function of an intended atomic fraction of Ni was likely to be strongly affected by and reduction (or oxidation) potentials and surface energy.
