본 연구에서는, NH₃-SCO (selective catalytic oxidation) 반응에서 RuTi 촉매 제조 시 소성온도에 따른 영향을 확인하였다. RuTi 촉매는 습윤 함침법을 이용하여 제조되었고, 공기 분위기에서 400~600 ℃로 4 h 동안 소성되었다. 촉매는 RuTi x00로 표기되었으며, x00는 소성온도를 의미한다. XRD, TEM, H₂-TPR 분석에 따르면, RuTi x00 촉매는 소성온도가 증가할수록 활성금속의 분산도가 감소하는 것을 나타내었다. XPS, NH₃-TPD 분석을 통하여, 낮은 분산도를 갖는 촉매는 표면 흡착 산소 종(O_β) 및 NH₃ 흡착량이 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다. 따라서 RuTi 400 촉매는 TiO₂ 표면에 활성금속이 가장 잘 분산되었으며, NH₃ 제거 효율이 가장 우수하였다.

In this work, ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were prepared by the conventional templating method using mesoporous silica (SBA-15) for Pt-Ru catalyst supports in fuel cells. The influence of surface modification on carbon supports on the electrochemical activities of Pt-Ru/OMCs was investigated with different pH. The neutral-treated OMCs (N-OMCs), base-treated OMCs (B-OMCs), and acid-treated OMCs (A-OMCs) were prepared by treating OMCs with 2 M $C_6H_6$, 2 M KOH, and 2 M $H_3PO_4$, respectively. The surface characteristic of the carbon supports were determined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical activities of the Pt-Ru catalysts had been enhanced when the OMCs supports were treated by basic or neutral agents, while the electrochemical activities had been decayed for the A-OMCs supported Pt-Ru.

Pt nanoparticle catalysts incorporated on $RuO_2$ nanowire support were successfully synthesized and their electrochemical properties, such as methanol electro-oxidation and electrochemically active surface (EAS) area, were demonstrated for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). After fabricating $RuO_2$ nanowire support via an electrospinning method, two different types of incorporated Pt nanoparticle electrocatalysts were prepared using a precipitation method via the reaction with $NaBH_4$ as a reducing agent. One electrocatalyst was 20 wt% Pt/$RuO_2$, and the other was 40 wt% Pt/$RuO_2$. The structural and electrochemical properties of the Pt nanoparticle electrocatalysts incorporated on electrospun $RuO_2$ nanowire support were investigated using a bright field transmission electron microscopy (bright field TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and cyclic voltammetry. The bright field TEM, XRD, and XPS results indicate that Pt nanoparticle electrocatalysts with sizes of approximately 2-4 nm were well incorporated on the electrospun $RuO_2$ nanowire support with a diameter of approximately 50 nm. The cyclic voltammetry results showed that the Pt nanoparticle catalysts incorporated on the electrospun $RuO_2$ nanowire support give superior catalytic activity in the methanol electro-oxidation and a higher electrochemically active surface (EAS) area when compared with the electrospun Pt nanowire electrocatalysts without the $RuO_2$ nanowire support. Therefore, the Pt nanoparticle catalysts incorporated on the electrospun $RuO_2$ nanowire support could be a promising electrode for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs).

Anodic $TiO_2$ nanotubes were simultaneously grown and doped with $RuO_2$ by single-step anodization in a negatively-charged $RuO_4{^-}$ precursor. Subsequently, a high positive voltage was imposed on the nanotubes in an $F^-$-based electrolyte (a process referred to as potential shock), which led to the formation of a through-hole $RuO_2$-doped $TiO_2$ nanotube membrane without significant loss of the $RuO_2$ catalyst. XPS results confirmed that the doped Ru metal was converted into $RuO_2$ as the potential shock voltage increased. Further increases in the potential shock voltage led to the formation of $RuO_x/Ru$ in the $TiO_2$ nanotubes. All of our results clearly showed that a through-hole catalyst-doped $TiO_2$ nanotube membrane can be produced by a sequence consisting of single-step anodization and the potential shock process.

Hydridonitrosyl complex의 촉매 활용 가능성과 반응 mechanism을 조사하기 위하여 $RuH(NO)(PPh_3)_3$와 RuH(NO)(etp)에 의한 ketone과 aldehyde의 수소화 반응을 연구하였다. 이 촉매들은 ketone과 aldehyde의 수소화 반응에 대하여 촉매 활성을 보이고 있으며, 활성은 기질의 입체장애 및 전자적 요인에 의존하고 있다. 즉, 입체 장애가 적을수록 촉매의 활성이 증가하며, 전자적 요인의 효과는 ketone의 경우 carbonyl carbon의 부분양전하의 양이 증가할수록, aldehyde의 경우는 carbonyl group의 double bond character가 강할수록 반응성이 증대되는 방향으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 결과는 ketone과 aldehyde의 반응 mechanism이 다름을 반영하고 있다. 한편, RuH(NO)(etp)와 과잉의 $PPh_3$ 존재하에서 $RuH(NO)(PPh_3)_3$가 촉매 활성을 보이고 있음은 NO ligand의 결합방식의 변화를 통한 반응경로가 존재함을 확인하고 있다. 과잉의 $PPh_3$는 촉매와의 몰비가 변함에 따라 작용의 변화(ligand의 해리 방지 ${\rightarrow}$ 염기 ${\rightarrow}$ ligand)가 나타나며 촉매 활성에 영향을 미치고 있다. 이러한 결과를 이해하기 위하여 각 촉매에 대한 반응 mechanism을 제시하였다. 한편, 동일한 기질에 있어서 RuH(NO)(etp)의 활성은 항상 $RuH(NO)(PPh_3)_3$에 비하여 낮았으며 이는 주로 착물의 구조차이에 기인한 것으로 해석되며, 경쟁반응에 있어서는 olefin의 수소화 반응이 carbonyl group의 수소화 반응보다 선택적으로 진행되고 있다.

PEM(proton exchange membrane) fuel cell have been receiving considerable interest as power source because of high-energy efficiency. However by using reforming hydrogen gas, CO poisoning occur in anode. To improve CO tolerance PtRu catalysts were prepared by galvanostatic pulse electrodeposition. The composition(atomic ratio) of catalysts are controllable by using different concentrations of PtRu solutions. Also, the particle sizes of PtRu on carbon are similar to about $3.5{\sim}4nm$ regardless of concentration.

In this paper, we characterized bimetallic Pt-Ru/C alloy catalysts having four different compositions and compared the catalytic activities of the prepared alloys for CO oxidation. ICP-AES, EDS, XRD, TEM, and XAS were used to investigate the composition, degree of alloying, particle size, and electronic structure of the prepared Pt-Ru/C catalysts. Those results indicated the synthesis of the alloy catalysts with intended composition and uniform size. The electrochemical study of the characterized alloys showed higher catalytic activity for CO oxidation than that of the commercial Pt/C (E-TEK, Inc., 20 wt %) catalyst. Especially, it was shown that the alloy catalyst with Ru composition of 50 atomic % gave the highest catalytic activity for CO oxidation.

Ruthenium catalysts modified by selenium have been introduced as alternative materials to Pt in Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). RuSe nano-particles were synthesized on the Vulcan XC72R carbon supports via polyol method. The prepared catalysts were electrochemically and physically characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV,) linear sweep voltammetry, methanol tolerance test, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energydispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Increasing the Se concentration up to 20 at % increased the electro-catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction. By increasing Se amount, Ru metallic form on the surface was increased. The $Ru_{80}Se_{20}$/C catalysts showed the highest oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and outstanding methanol tolerant property in half cell tests as well as single cell test.

Different oxidation treatments on CNTs using diluted 4.0 M $H_2SO_4$ solution at room temperature and or at $90^{\circ}C$ reflux conditions were investigated to elucidate the physical and chemical changes occurring on the treated CNTs, which might have significant effects on their performance as catalyst supports in PEM fuel cells. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope analyses were made for the acid treated CNTs to determine the particle size and distribution of the CNT-supported Pt-Ru nanoparticles. These CNT-supported Pt-based nanoparticles were then employed as anode catalysts in PEMFC to investigate their catalytic activity and single-cell performance towards $H_2$ oxidation. Based on PEMFC performance results, refluxed Pt-Ru/CNT catalysts prepared using CNTs treated at $90^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 h as anode have shown better catalytic activity and PEMFC polarization performance than those of the commercially available Pt-Ru/C catalyst from ETEK and other Pt-Ru/CNT catalysts developed using raw CNT, thus demonstrating the importance of acid treatment in improving and optimizing the surface properties of catalyst support.
