Electrically-induced strain and polarization studies of the (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbZrO3 crystalline solutions have been done. Dielectric constants with temperature were investigated for 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.95. With increasing PbZrO3 content the transition maxima were found to move to higher temperature region and DPT (Diffused Phase Transition) properties were decreased for x$\leq$0.60. Phase transition between ferroelectric states and antiferroelectric states was confirmed for 0.93$\times$10-3 for 0.4

Sinterability and stability of TZP ceramics co-stabilized by 12 mol% CeO2 and divalent or trivalent oxides less than 1 mol% were investigated. Divalent and trivalent oxides increased stability of tetragonal ZrO2. 100% tetragonal ZrO2 phase was obtained by doping 12 mol% CeO2 and 0.2 mol% CaO and MgO respectively when sintering was carried out at 1500$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Divalent and trivalent oxides improved sinterability and inhibit grain growth of ZrO2. And it was found that CaO was the most effective sintering aid and grain growth inhibitor for ZrO2 in this study. Incorporation of divalent and trivalent oxides into 12Ce-TZP increased the strength of 12Ce-TZP and particulary 12Ce, 0.4Ca-TZP exhibited a flexural strength of about twofold greater than 12Ce-TZP.

The interest in water gas shift (WGS) reaction has grown significantly, as a result of the recent advances in fuel cell technology and the need to develop small-scale fuel processors. Recently, researchers have tried to overcome the disadvantages of the commercial WGS catalysts. As a consequence, supported Pt catalysts have attracted a lot of researchers due to high activity and stability for WGS at low temperatures. In this study, $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts with various Ce/Zr ratio have been applied to WGS at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of $45,515h^{-1}$. According to TPR patterns of $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts, the reducibility increases with decreasing the $ZrO_2$ content. As a result, Cubic structure $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts exhibited higher CO conversion than tetragonal structure $Pt-Na/Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ catalysts. Expecially, Pt-Na/$CeO_2$ exhibited the highest CO conversion as well as 100% selectivity to $CO_2$. Moreover, Pt-Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst showed relatively stable activity with time on stream. The high activity of cubic structure Pt-Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst was correlated to its higher oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of $CeO_2$ and easier reducibility of Pt/$CeO_2$.

본 연구에서는 투광성 0.085Ba(L $a_{1}$2/N $b_{1}$2/) $O_{3}$- 0.915Pb(Z $r_{y}$ $Ti_{1-y}$) $O_{3}$(0.45.leq.y.leq.0.70)세라믹을 2단 소성법으로 제작한 후, PbZr $O_{3}$조성 및 온도에 따른 구조적, 강유전적특성을 측정하였다. XRD측정 결과, PbZr $O_{3}$조성이 감소할수록 결자상수 및 단위격자 체적은 감소하였으며 시편의 결정구조는 입방정계에서 능면체정계, 정방정계로 변화되었다. 8.5/60/40시편의 경우 포화분극, 잔류분극 및 항전계가 각각 33.28[.mu.C/$cm^{2}$], 4.15[kV/cm]로 전형적인 메모리 특성을 나타내었으며 PbZr $O_{3}$조성이 증가함에 따라 강유전 이력곡선은 slim loop특성을 나타내었다. 잔류분극은 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며 특히 PE-FE상경계 부근에 위치한 조성의 경우, 상전이 온도 이하의 온도에서 급격히 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.다.

The major drawback of zirconia-based materials, in view of their applications as targets for minor actinide transmutation, is their poor thermal conductivity. The addition of MgO, which has high thermal conductivity, to zirconia-based materials is expected to improve their thermal conductivity. On these grounds, the present study aims at phase characterization and thermophysical property evaluation of neodymium-substituted zirconia (Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9; using Nd₂O₃ as a surrogate for Am₂O₃) and its composites with MgO. The composite was prepared by a solid-state reaction of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9 (synthesized by gel combustion) and commercial MgO powders at 1773 K. Phase characterization was carried out by X-ray diffraction and the microstructural investigation was performed using a scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy. The linear thermal expansion coefficient of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9 increases upon composite formation with MgO, which is attributed to a higher thermal expansivity of MgO. Similarly, specific heat also increases with the addition of MgO to Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9. Thermal conductivity was calculated from measured thermal diffusivity, temperature-dependent density and specific heat values. Thermal conductivity of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9-MgO (50 wt%) composite is more than that of typical UO₂ fuel, supporting the potential of Zr_0.8Nd_0.2O_1.9-MgO composites as target materials for minor actinides transmutation.

Particulate composites of Al2O3/SiC, Al2O3/ZrO2 and Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC have been fabricated to investigate their R-curve behaviors and toughening mechanisms. Al2O3 containing 30 vol% SiC particles of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ showed rising R-curve behavior owing to the strong crack bridging by SiC particles. The fracture toughness reached 9.1 MPa {{{{ SQRT {m} }} at the crack length of 1000${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. On the other hand, ZrO2-toughened Al2O3 had a high flat R-curve since it rose steeply in the short crack region due to the well known transformation toughening. For Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC composites, the R-curve behavior was similar to that of Al2O3/SiC but with slightly higher toughness. The SiC particles in this composite decreased the amount of transformable tetragonal phase to reduce the effect of transformation toughening by 50%. It was also found that the fracture toughness of this composite with two different toughening mechanisms was markedly lower than that estimated by the simple addition of two contributions.

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.

Ba(Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/) $O_3$-Sr(Zn$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/) $O_3$계에 대하여 소결 온도 변화와 Zr $O_2$첨가량에 따른 마이크로파 유전특성을 조사하였다. 동일 조성에서 소결 온도가 증가함에 따라 밀도가 향상되고 공진 주파수의 온도계수($ au$$_{f}$)는 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 유전상수(K)와 품질계수(Q$\times$f)는 커다란 변화가 없었다. 또한 Zr $O_2$첨가량이 증가함에 따라 소결 시편의 밀도가 향상되었고 더불어 유전상수, 품질계수가 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 공진 주파수의 온도계수가 감소하는 우수한 특성이 나타났다. 특히, 소결온도 1575$^{\circ}C$, 0.6 wt% Zr $O_2$를 첨가했을 때 유전상수가 최대($\varepsilon$$_{r}$=41)로 나타났으며, 공진 주파수의 온도계수는 1.0wt% Zr $O_2$를 첨가했을 때 최소($\tau$$_{f}$=+0.8ppm/$^{\circ}C$)로서 양호한 값을 얻을 수 있었다.었다.

All the $Ni-Co-Ce-ZrO_2$ mixed oxides are prepared by co-precipitations methods. Methanation of CO and $H_2$ reaction is screened tested over different fractions of cerium (2, 4, 7 and 12 wt.%) over $Ni-Co/ZrO_2$ bimetallic catalysts are investigated. The mixed oxides are characterized by XRD, CO-Chemisorption, TGA and screened methanation of CO and $H_2$ at $360^{\circ}C$ for 3000 min on stream at typical ratio $CO:H_2=1:1$. In $Ni-Co/CeZrO_2$ series 2 wt.% Ce loading catalyst shows most promising catalyst for $CH_4$ selectivity than $CO_2$, which directs more stability with less coke formation. The high activity is attributed to the better bimetallic synergy and the well-developed crystalline phases of NiO, $ZrO_2$ and $Ce-ZrO_2$. Other bimetallic mixed oxides NCoZ, $NCoC^{4-12}Z$ has faster deactivation with low methanation activity. Finally, 2 wt.% Ce loading catalyst was found to be optimal coke resistant catalyst.

중저온 영역에서 작동 가능한 고체산화물연료전지(SOFC)의 전해질 재료를 탐색하기 위해 $Sc_2O_3$와 $CeO_2$를 동시에 첨가하여 안정화시킨 $CeO_2$의 상안전성과 전기적 물성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 $Sc_2O_3$와 $CeO_2$를 동시에 첨가하여 안정화시킨 $ZrO_2$는 $1350^{Circ}C∼1550^{Circ}C$까지의 열처리과정중 다른 상전이 없이 상온에서 안정한 입방정상을 유지하였으며 넓은 온도영역($300∼^{Circ}C$)에서 기존의 YSZ보다 훨씬 높은 전기전도도값을 나타냈다. 또한 $Sc_2O_3$와 $CeO_2$가 동시에 첨가된 $ZrO_2$는 기존의 Sc-$ZrO_2$계 전해질 물질보다 훨씬 향상된 장기안정성을 나타내 중저온형 고체산화물 연료전지의 전해질재료로 적합함을 알 수 있었다.
