Highly conductive oxide films of BaRuO$_3$ have been grown heteroepitaxially on (100) LaAlO$_3$ single crystalline substrates by using pulsed laser deposition. The films are c-axis oriented with an in-plane epitaxial relationship of <010><100>BaRuO$_3$ // <110>LaAlO$_3$. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) observation shows that they consist of a fine-arranged network of grains and have a mosaic microstructure. Generally temperature-dependent resistivity shows the transition from metallic curve to semiconductor-metallic twofold curve by the deposition conditions for Ru oxide based materials like SrRuO$_3$, CaRuO$_3$, BaRuO$_3$, etc.. This twofold curve comes from the structural similarity of Ru oxide based materials including BaRuO$_3$. We find that the distance of Ru-Ru bonding in the unit cell of BaRuO$_3$ as well as the grain boundary scattering could be the two important causes of these interesting conductive properties.

Steam reforming of tar produced from biomass gasification was conducted using several Ni-based catalysts. In labscale, the catalytic steam reforming of toluene which is a major component of biomass tar was studied. A fixed bed reactor was used at various temperatures of 400-800 ℃. Ru (0.6 wt%) and Mn or K (1 wt%) were applied as a promoter in Ni based catalysts. Generally, Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ catalyst shows higher performance on steam reforming of toluene than Ni/Ru-Mn/Al₂O₃ catalyst. Used catalysts were analyzed by XRD and TGA to detect sintering and carbon deposition. Base on the lab-scale studies, the monolith and pellet type catalysts were tested in 1 ton/day scale biomass gasification system. Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ monolith catalyst shows high tar reforming performance at high temperature. In addition, Ni/Ru-Mn/Al₂O₃ monolith catalyst was showed deactivation with operation time. Reforming performance of Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ pellet catalyst which showed 66.7% tar conversion at 587 ℃ was compared to regenerated one. Overall, Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ pellet catalyst shows higher stability and performance than other used catalysts.

The objective of this study is to prepare lead-free thick film resistor (TFR) paste compatible with AlN substrate for hybrid microelectronics. For this purpose, CaO-ZnO-$B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass system was chosen as a sintering aid of $RuO_2$. The effects of the weight ratio of CaO to ZnO in glass composition, the glass content and the sintering temperature on the electrical properties of TFR were investigated. $RuO_2$ as a conductive and glass powder were dispersed in an organic binder to obtain printable paste and then thick-film was formed by screen printing, followed by sintering at the range between $750^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$ for 10 min with a heating rate of $50^{\circ}C$/min in an ambient atmosphere. The addition of ZnO to glass composition and sintering at higher temperature resulted in increasing sheet resistance and decreasing temperature coefficient of resistance. Using $RuO_2$-based resistor paste containing 40 wt%glass of CaO-20.5%ZnO-25%$B_2O_3$-7%$Al_2O_3$-15%$SiO_2$ composition, it is possible to produce thick film resistor on AlN substrate with sheet resistance of $10.6\Omega/\spuare$ and the temperature coefficient of resistance of 702ppm/$^{\circ}C$ after sintering at $850^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 기존 니켈 활성성분만의 알루미나담지 촉매에 비해 고온에서의 수소를 사용한 환원 전처리 과정을 거치지 않고도 높은 반응활성을 나타내며, 반응 중 탄소침적에 대한 촉매 저항성에서도 우수한 결과를 나타낸 루테늄-니켈 촉매에 대해보고 하고자 한다. 메탄 수증기 개질 반응을 통해, 루테늄을 최종적으로 담지한 알루미나 담지니켈계 촉매는 별도의 전처리과정 없이 $650^{\circ}C$에서부터 높은 반응성을 보였으며, 루테늄과 니켈을 동시에 담지한 경우보다 더 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. Ru의 담지량을 달리한 실험에서는$RU(0.5)/Ni(20)/Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. $H_2-TPR$ 분석 결과, $Ru(0.5)/Ni(20)/A1_2O_3$촉매의 경우 세 가지 환원 피크가 나타났으며, $Ni(20)/A1_2O_3$촉매와 비교해 볼 때, 저온(<$130^{\circ}C)$에서 환원가능한 $RUO_2$의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. 담지된 RU은 분산도가 높아, XRD분석 결과에서 Ru이나 $RuO_2$의 특성 피크가 존재하지 않았다. 또한 $650^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 개질반응 후 얻어진 촉매에 대해 $O_2-TGA$를 분석한 결과, $Ni(20)/Al_2O_3$촉매는 $-7.2wt\%$ 정도의 큰 무게 감소를 보였으며, 이는 촉매 표면에 생성된 carbon tube에 의한 것임을 SEM 분석을 통해 알 수 있었다 이에 반해, $Ru(0.5)/Ni(20)/Al_2O_$ 촉매는 $O_2-TGA$시 $0.3wt\%$ 정도 무게 증가에 그쳤으며, SEM 분석상 carbon tube의 생성이 크게 억제되었음을 알 수 있었다.

Abstract: The effect of lead free glass frit compositions on the properties of thick film conductor and resistor pastes were investigated. Two types lead free frits, HBF-A(without $Bi_2O_3$) and HBF-B(with $Bi_2O_3$) were made from $SiO_2$, $B_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$, CaO, MgO, $Na_2O$, $K_2O$, ZnO, MnO, $ZrO_2$, $Bi_2O_3$. And Ag based conductor pastes and $RuO_2$ based resistor paste were prepared by mixed with these frits and functional phase(Ag and $RuO_2$), and organic vehicle. The properties of thick film conductor and resistor sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ were studied after printing on $Al_2O_3$ substrate. The morphology of the sintered films surface were SEM and EDS were carried out to analysis the chemical composition on resistor surface and state of Ru atom in frit matrix.

The catalytic steam reforming of toluene, a major component of biomass tar, was studied using several catalysts at various temperatures $400-800^{\circ}C$, kind of metal, and metal loading content. Ru and K promoted Ni-base catalyst were prepared, and used for steam reforming of toluene with steam/toluene molar ratio of 25. Concentration of toluene in reactant flow is $30g/Nm^3$ that is usual content of tar from biomass gasifier. The result from experiments showed that $H_2$ content in product gas and toluene conversion increased with temperature. Where in high temperature range, CO and $CO_2$ content in product gas were affected mainly by Boudouard reaction. Ni/Ru-K(3wt%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed best performance on steam reforming of toluene than used catalysts in this study at whole temperature. Catalysts have been characterized by XRD, TG. XRD analysis displayed that Ni particle size on Ni/Ru-K (3wt%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was 29.4nm. Activation energy of Ni/Ru-K (3wt%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was calculated 36.8kJ/mol by Arrhenius plot.

The volatile organic compounds(VOCs) have been recognized as a major contributor to air pollution. The catalytic oxidation is one of the most important processes for VOCs destruction due to getting high efficiency at low temperature. In this study, monometallic Pt and bimetallic Pt-Ru, Pt-Ir were supported to ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Xylene, toluene and MEK were used as reactants. The monometallic or bimetallic catalysts were prepared by the excess wetness impregnation method and were characterized by XRD, XPS, TEM and BET analysis. As a result, Pt-Ru, Pt-Ir bimetallic catalysts showed higher conversion than Pt monometallic catalyst. Pt-Ir bimetallic catalyst showed the highest conversion on the ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ support. In the VOCs oxidation, Pt-Ru, Pt-Ir bimetallic catalyst had multipoint active sites, so it improved the range of Pt metal state. Therefore, bimetallic catalysts showed higher conversion of VOCs than monometallic ones. In this study, the use of small amount of Ru, Ir to Pt promoted oxidation conversion of VOCs.

미량의 Ru을 증진제로 첨가하여 니켈 촉매의 반응 활성을 증진시킴으로써, 저온 환원성과 장시간 반응에 대한 안정성을 확보하고자 하였다. Ni의 담지량은 12 wt%로 고정하였으며 이에 Ru을 각각 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 wt%로 변화시켜 2차 담지하였다. 메탄의 수증기/이산화탄소 복합 개질 반응에 있어 니켈 촉매에 Ru을 2차 담지 한 촉매는 800 $^{\circ}C$, GHSV(gas hourly space velocity) 265,000 $h^{-1}$ 하에서 100 %에 가까운 $CH_{4}$ 전환율을 보였으며, GHSV 1,060,000 $h^{-1}$ 일 때에도 10시간 동안 90 %의 $CH_{4}$ 전환율을 기록하였다. 또한 이 중 0.3 wt%의 Ru를 담지한 경우가 1,060,000 $h^{-1}$의 조건하에서도 95 %이상으로 가장 높은 $CH_{4}$ 전환율로 유지되었다. $H_{2}-TPR$ 분석 결과, Ni(12)/$MgAl_{2}O_{4}$ 와 비교해 볼 때 Ru(0.5)/Ni(12)/$MgAl_{2}O_{4}$와 Ru(0.3)/Ni(12)/$MgAl_{2}O_{4}$ 촉매의 경우 150 $^{\circ}C$에서 저온 환원이 가능한 $RuO_{2}$의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다.
