The case of four classrooms analyzed in this study point to many commonalities in the challenges of reforming mathematics teaching in Korea and the U. S. In both national contexts we have seen the need fur a clear distinction between implementing new student-centered social practices in the classroom, and providing significant new loaming opportunities for students. In particular, there is an important need to distinguish between attending to the social practices of the classroom and attending to students conceptual development within those social practices. In both countries, teachers in the less successful student-centered classes tended to abdicate responsibility fur sense making to the students. They were more inclined to attend to the literal statements of their students without analyzing their conceptual understanding (Episodes KA5 and UP 2). This is easy to do when the rhetoric of reform emphasizes student-centered social practices without sufficient attention to psychological correlates of those social practices. The more successful teachers tended to monitor the understanding of the students and to take proactive measures to ensure the development of that understanding (Episodes KO5 and UN3). This suggests the usefulness of constructivism as a model (or successful student-centered instruction. As Simon(1995) observed, constructivist teachers envision a hypothetical learning trajectory that constitutes their plan and expectation for students learning from the particular if the trajectory is being followed. If not, the teacher adjusts or supplements the task to obtain a more satisfactory result, or reconsider her or his assumptions concerning the hypothetical learning trajectory. In this way, the teacher acts proactively to try to ensure that students are progressing in their understanding in particular ways. Thus the more successful student-centered teacher of this study can be seen as constructivist in their orientation to student conceptual development, in comparison to the less successful student-centered teachers. It is encumbant on the authors of reform in Korea and the U. S. to make sure that reform is not trivialized, or evaluated only on the surface of classroom practices. The commonalities of the two reform endeavores suggest that Korea and the U. S. have much to share with each other in the challenges of reforming mathematics teaching for the new millennium.

In this talk, I will briefly review recent results of my group related to application of atomic layer deposition (ALD) for fabricating environmental catalysts and organic solar cells. ALD was used for preparing thin films of TiO2 and NiO on mesporous silica with a mean pore size of 15 nm. Upon depositing TiO2 thin films of TiO2 using ALD, the mesoporous structure of the silica substrate was preserved to some extent. We show that efficiency for removing toluene by adsorption and catalytic oxidation is dependent of mean thickness of TiO2 deposited on silica, i.e., fine tuning of the thickness of thin film using ALD can be beneficial for preparing high-performing adsorbents and oxidation catalysts of volatile organic compound. NiO/silica system prepared by ALD was used for catalysts of chemical conversion of CO2. Here, NiO nanoparticles are well dispersed on silica and confiend in the pore, showing high catalytic activity and stability at 800oC for CO2 reforming of methane reaction. We also used ALD for surface modulation of buffer layers of organic solar cell. TiO2 and ZnO thin films were deposited on wet-chemically prepared ZnO ripple structures, and thin films with mean thickness of ~2 nm showed highest power conversion efficiency of organic solar cell. Moreover, performance of ALD-prepared organic solar cells were shown to be more stable than those without ALD. Thin films of oxides deposited on ZnO ripple buffer layer could heal defect sites of ZnO, which can act as recombination center of electrons and holes.

Nb-doped $TiO_2$(NTO) coated NiCrAl alloy foam for hydrogen production is prepared using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis deposition(USPD) method. To optimize the size and distribution of NTO particles based on good physical and chemical stability, we synthesize particles by adjusting the weight ratio of the Nb precursor solution(5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt%). The morphological, chemical bonding, and structural properties of the NTO coated NiCrAl alloy foam are investigated by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy(XPS), and Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy(FESEM). As a result, the samples of controlled Nb weight ratio exhibit a common diffraction pattern at ${\sim}25.3^{\circ}$, corresponding to the(101) plane, and have chemical bonding(O-Nb=O) at 534 eV. The NTO particles with the optimum weight ratio of N (10 wt%) show a uniform distribution with a size of ~18.2-21.0 nm. In addition, they exhibit the highest corrosion resistance even in the electrochemical stability estimation. As a result, the introduction of NTO coated NiCrAl alloy foam by USPD improves the chemical stability of the NiCrAl alloy foam by protecting the direct electrochemical reaction between the foam and the electrolyte. Thus, the optimized NTO coating can be proposed for excellent protection of NiCrAl alloy foam for hydrocarbon-based steam methane reforming(SMR).

The hydrogen has been recognized as a clean, nonpolluting and unlimited energy source that can solve fossil fuel depletion and environmental pollution problems at the same time. Water electrolysis has been the most attractive technology in a way to produce hydrogen because it does not emit any pollutants compared to other method such as natural gas steam reforming and coal gasification etc. In order to improve efficiency and durability of the water electrolysis, comprehensive studies for highly active and stable electrocatalysts have been performed. The platinum group metal (PGM; Pt, Ru, Pd, Rh, etc.) electrocatalysts indicated a higher activity and stability compared with other transition metals in harsh condition such as acid solution. It is necessary to develop inexpensive non-noble metal catalysts such as transition metal oxides because the PGM catalysts is expensive materials with insufficient it's reserves. The optimization of operating parameter and the components is also important factor to develop an efficient water electrolysis cell. In this study, we optimized the operating parameter and components such as the type of AEM and density of gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the temperature/concentration of the electrolyte solution for the anion exchange membrane water electrolysis cell (AEMWEC) with the transition metal oxide alloy anode and cathode electrocatalysts. The maximum current density was $345.8mA/cm^2$ with parameter and component optimization.

Ru이 첨가된 $Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매 상에서의 메탄 수증기 개질 반응을 수행하였다. 반응 전에 $H_2$를 사용한 전처리가 필요한 $Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매에 비해, $Ru/Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매는 별도의 전처리 과정이 없이도 우수한 반응 활성을 나타내었다. $CH_4-TPR$과 반응 후 촉매에 대한 $H_2-TPR$ 결과, 메탄의 분해반응에 의한 $RuO_x$의 환원이 저온($220^{\circ}C$)에서부터 진행되며, 환원된 Ru이 NiO의 환원을 촉진하게 되어 자발적인 환원이 일어나게 된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 금속 입자의 분산도를 높이기 위하여 $Ru/Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 $45^{\circ}C$에서 2 h 동안 $7M\;NH_4OH$ 수용액에 담근 후 소성하여 반응을 수행하였다. $NH_4OH$ 수용액으로 처리한 $Ru/Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매는 상대적으로 더 높은 반응 활성을 나타내었으며, $H_2$-화학흡착과 XRD, XPS 분석 결과로부터 입자크기가 감소하고 금속의 분산도가 향상되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. $NH_4OH$ 수용액에 의한 촉매의 고분산을 이용하여 Ru의 함량을 감소시켜 소량의 첨가로 높은 반응 활성을 보이고자 하였다.

고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC)에서 Ni/YSZ 음극 촉매를 이용한 내부 개질 반응 시 코크 형성에 의한 촉매 비활성화 문제점을 개선하기 위해 음극에 여러가지 조촉매(Ce, Co, Cu, Cr, Mn, Pd, K, $K_2Ti_2O_5$)들을 첨가하여 그 영향을 조사하였다. $H_2O/CH_4=1.5$ 몰비, 800의 반응 조건하에서 수증기 개질 반응을 행한 결과 전이금속산화물들은 코크형성을 억제하는 효과가 없었고 메탄전환율도 오히려 감소하였다. Potassium을 담지한 Ni/YSZ의 경우는 초기에는 뚜렷한 코크형성 억제 효과가 있었으나 반응 후 42시간이 지나면 휘발에 의한 Potassium함량 감소로 급격한 촉매활성의 저하가 일어났다. 격자 구조에 Potassium이 내장된 $K_2Ti_2O_5$를 5% 혼합한 Ni/YSZ의 경우에는 장기간 운전에도 반응 활성이 줄어들지 않아서 음극 촉매의 코크 억제용 첨가제로 적용될 수 있음을 알았다. 반응시간에 따른 촉매의 비활성화는 촉매 표면에서의 graphidic carbon의 생성 때문으로 밝혀졌다.

수소는 친환경 에너지원으로 주목 받고 있으며 미래 화석연료의 고갈에 대비할 수 있는 물질이다. 수전해는 natural gas steam reforming 또는 coal gasification 같은 방법에 비해 공해 물질의 방출이 없어 미래지향적인 기술로 간주된다. 저온형 수전해는 크게 알칼리 수전해와 고분자 전해질막 수전해로 구분되며 각각의 기술은 장단점을 가지고 있다. 알칼리 수전해는 비백금계 물질을 촉매로 사용할 수 있는 이점이 있으나 알칼리 용액으로 인한 부식, 높은 과전압에 의한 효율저하 그리고 간헐적인 사용에 적합하지 않다. 고분자 전해질막 수전해는 간헐적인 사용이 용이하고 높은 에너지 밀도를 가지지만 산성분위기로 인한 백금계 촉매를 사용해야 하므로 수소 생산 비용이 증가하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리 수전해와 고분자 전해질막 수전해 방식의 이점을 최대한 이용하고 단점을 극복하기 위한 방법으로 음이온 교환막(anion exchange membrane, AEM)을 적용한 셀 구조를 소개한다. 본문에서는 AEM 수전해 단위 셀의 구성요소들인 AEM 종류, 가스 확산층의 밀도와 운전조건인 알칼리 수용액 농도, 온도의 조건을 다르게 하여 최상의 구성 요소 조건 및 운전조건을 알아보았다.

Fabrication of heterogeneous catalysts using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) has recently been attracting attention of surface chemists and physicists. In this talk, I will present recent results about structures and chemical activities of various catalysts prepared by ALD, particularly focusing on Ni-based catalysts. Ni has been considered as potential catalysts for $CO_2$ reforming of methane (CRM); however, Ni often undergoes rapid decrease in catalytic activity with time, and therefore, application of Ni as catalysts for CRM has been regarded as difficult so far. Deactivation of Ni catalysts during CRM reaction is from either coke formation on Ni surface or sintering of Ni particles during reaction. Two different strategies have been used for enhancing stability of Ni-based catalysts; $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were deposited on micrometer-size Ni particles by ALD, which turned out to reduce coke formation on Ni surfaces. Ni nanoparticles deposited by ALD on mesoporous silica showed high activity and long-term stability from CRM without coke deposition and sintering during CRM reaction. Ni-based catalysts have been also used for oxidation of toluene, which is one of the most notorious gases responsible for sick-building syndrome. It was shown that onset-temperature of Ni catalysts for toluene oxidation is as low as $120^{\circ}C$. At $250\circ}C$, total oxidation of toluene to $CO_2$ with a 100% conversion was found.

A microwave plasma torch at the atmospheric pressure by making use of magnetrons operated at the 2.45 GHz and used in a home microwave oven has been developed. This electrodeless torch can be used to various areas, including industrial, environmental and military applications. Although the microwave plasma torch has many applications, we in the present work focused on the microwave plasma torch operated in pure steam and several applications, which may be used in future and right now. For example, a high-temperature steam microwave plasma torch may have a potential application of the hydrocarbon fuel reforming at one atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the radicals including hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide molecules are abundantly available in the steam torch, dramatically enhancing the reaction speed. Also, the microwave plasma torch can be used as a high-temperature, large-volume plasma burner by injecting hydrocarbon fuels in gas, liquid, and solid into the plasma flame. Finally, we briefly report treatment of soils contaminated with oils, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, etc., which is an underway research in our group.
