Mesoporous $SiO_2$-supported Ni catalysts (Ni/$SiO_2$ and Ni/$TiO_2$/$SiO_2$) were fabricated by atomic layer deposition (ALD), and their catalytic activity and stability were investigated in carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CRM) reaction at $800^{\circ}C$ The Ni/$SiO_2$ catalysts showed high stability as a result of confinement of Ni particles with a mean size of ~10 nm within the pores of $SiO_2$ support. Besides, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that the Ni nanoparticles were partially buried inside the $SiO_2$ support. The strong interaction between Ni and the $SiO_2$ support could also be advantageous for long-term stability of the catalyst. In case of the Ni/$TiO_2$/$SiO_2$ catalyst, it was found that the catalytic activity of 10 nm-sized Ni nanoparticles was not much influenced by $TiO_2$ addition.

The studies on integrated operation of fuel cell with fuel processor are very essential prior to its commercialization. In this study, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) was operated with a fuel processor, which is mainly composed of two parts, methanol steam reforming reaction and preferential oxidation (PROX). In fuel processor, ICI 33-5 (CuO 50%, ZnO 33%, $Al_2O_3$ 8%, BET surface area: $66\;m^2g^{-1}$) catalyst and CuO-$CeO_2$ catalyst were used for methanol steam reforming, preferential oxidation (PROX) respectively. PEMFC was operated by hydrogen fuel generated from fuel processor. The resulting gas from PROX reactor is used to operate PEMFC equipped with our prepared anode and cathode catalyst. PtRu/C catalyst gives more tolerance to CO.

The results of the experiment that was conducted on the electron emission property and the long-term stability of the emission current in various carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-based field emitters with a CNT/catalyst/buffer/W-tip configuration are presented herein. CNT-based field emitters were fabricated by varying the (TiN, Al/Ni/TiN) buffer layer and the (Ni, Co) catalyst material. This study aimed to elucidate how the buffer layers and catalyst materials affect the structural properties of CNTs and the long-term stability of CNT emitters. Raman spectroscopy, field emission SEM, and high-resolution TEM were used to analyze the crystalline structure, surface morphologies, and nanostructures of all the grown CNTs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to monitor the chemical bonds of all the buffer layers and catalysts. Electron emission measurement and a long-term (up to 40h) stability test were carried out using a compactly designed field emission measurement system.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as high-temperature fuel cells, have various advantages. In some merits of SOFCs, high temperature operation can lead to the capability for internal reforming, providing fuel flexibility. SOFCs can directly use CH4 and CO as fuels with sufficient steam feeds. However, hydrocarbons heavier than CH4, such as ethylene, ethane, and propane, induce carbon deposition on the Ni-based anodes of SOFCs. In the case of the ethylene steam reforming reaction on a Ni-based catalyst, the rate of carbon deposition is faster than among other hydrocarbons, even aromatics. In the reformates of heavy hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, kerosene and JP-8), the concentration of ethylene is usually higher than other low hydrocarbons such as methane, propane and butane. It is importatnt that ethylene in the reformate is removed for stlable operation of SOFCs. A new methodology, termed post-reforming was introduced for removing low hydrocarbons from the reformate gas stream. In this work, activity tests of some post-reforming catalysts, such as CGO-Ru, CGO-Ni, and CGO-Pt, are investigated. CGO-Pt catalyst is not good for removing ethylene due to low conversion of ethylene and low selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation. The other hand, CGO-Ru and CGO-Ni catalysts show good ethylene conversion, and CGO-Ni catalyst shows the best reaction selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation.

A 20 wt % Pt/C is fabricated and characterized for use as the cathode catalyst in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). By using the polyol method, the fabrication process is optimized by modifying the carbon addition sequence and precursor mixing conditions. The crystallographic structure, particle size, dispersion, and activity toward oxygen reduction of the as-prepared catalysts are compared with those of commercial Pt/C catalysts. The most effective catalyst is obtained by ultrasonic treatment of ethylene glycol-carbon mixture and immediate mixing of this mixture with a Pt precursor at the beginning of the synthesis. The catalyst exhibits very uniform particle size distribution without agglomeration. The mass activities of the as-prepared catalyst are 13.4 mA/$mg_{Pt}$ and 51.0 mA/$mg_{Pt}$ at 0.9 V and 0.85 V, respectively, which are about 1.7 times higher than those of commercial catalysts.

The development of a low cost catalyst with high performance and small amount of carbon deposition on catalyst from toluene steam reforming were investigated by using coal ash as a support material. Ni-loaded coal ash catalyst showed similar catalytic activity for toluene steam reforming compared with the Ni/Al2O3. At 800 ℃, the toluene conversion was 77% for Ni/TAL, 68% for Ni/KPU and 78% for Ni/Al2O3. Ni/TAL showed similar toluene conversion to Ni/Al2O3. However, Ni/KPU produced higher hydrogen yield at relatively lower toluene conversion. Ni/KPU catalyst showed a remarkable ability of suppressing the carbon deposition. The difference in coke deposition and hydrogen yield is due to the composition of KPU ash (Ca and Fe) which increase coke resistance and water gas shift reaction. This study suggests that coal ash catalysts have great potential for the application in the steam reforming of biomass tar.

황이 포함된 중형기공성 탄소 담체(S-MC)에 화학적으로 고정화된 $H_5PMo_{10}V_2O_{40}$ ($PMo_{10}V_2$) 촉매를 제조하고, 이를 Benzyl alcohol 산화반응에 적용해보았다. 먼저 주형물질로 SBA-15, 탄소 전구체로 p-Toluenesulfonic acid를 이용하여 S-MC 지지체를 제조하였다. 이후, $PMo_{10}V_2$ 촉매가 화학적으로 고정화될 수 있는 위치를 제공하기 위해 S-MC 지지체의 표면이 양전하를 띠도록 개질시켰다. 전체적으로 음전하를 띠는 $[PMo_{10}V_2O4_{40}]^{5-}$를 이용함으로써 $PMo_{10}V_2$를 양이온을 띠는 S-MC 표면에 화학적으로 고정화하였다. 화학적 고정화를 통해 $PMo_{10}V_2$가 분자수준으로 균일하게 분산되었음을 확인하였다. Benzyl alcohol의 기상 산화반응에서 $PMo_{10}V_2$/S-MC 촉매는 무담지 상태의 $PMo_{10}V_2$보다 높은 전화율 및 수율을 나타냈다. $PMo_{10}V_2$/S-MC 촉매의 반응 활성이 향상된 이유는 화학적 고정화를 통해 $PMo_{10}V_2$이 S-MC 지지체에 고르게 분산되었기 때문이다.

이산화탄소를 이용하여 디메틸카보네이트(DMC)를 제조하는 반응은 지구온난화 현상의 주요 원인으로 지적되는 이산화탄소의 효율적 전환 방법의 하나로 주목 받고 있다. DMC는 유독한 포스겐과 디메틸슬페이트를 대체하는 반응 매개체, 가솔린 연료 첨가제, 폴리카보네이트 수지의 전구체 등으로 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 에틸렌카보네이트(EC)와 메탄올의 에스테르 교환반응에 의한 DMC의 제조 반응에 대하여 이온성 액체와 금속 촉매의 특성을 조사하였다. 촉매 스크리닝 실험 결과 [Choline][OH]와 [BMIm][OH]가 금속염인 MgO, ZnO, CaO보다 더 좋은 촉매 활성을 나타내었다. [Choline][OH] 촉매에 대해서 반응변수인 반응온도, MeOH/EC 몰비, 이산화탄소 압력이 반응에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 반응온도가 높고 MeOH/EC 몰비가 클수록 EC의 전화율이 증가하였다. 그러나 이산화탄소 압력의 영향에서는 1.34 MPa에서 최고의 DMC 수율을 나타내었고 그 이상의 압력에서는 DMC 수율이 오히려 감소하였다. $ZnCl_2$를 조촉매로 사용한 경우 각각 촉매의 활성보다 더 높은 활성을 나타내어 시너지 효과가 관찰되었으며, 이것은 혼합촉매의 산-염기적 특성에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) was successfully grown on Ni coated silicon wafer substrate by applying PECVD technique(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). As a catalyst, Ni thin film of thickness ranging from 15∼30nm was prepared by electron beam evaporator method. In order to find the optimum growth condition, the type of the gas mixture such as C$_2$H$_2$-NH$_3$was systematically investigated by adjusting the gas mixing ratio in temperature of 600$^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of 0.4 torr. The diameter of the grown CNTs was 40∼150nm. As NH$_3$etching time increased the diameters of the nanotubes decreased whereas the density of nanotubes increased. TEM images clearly demonstrated synthesized nanotubes was multiwalled. We investigated electrical properties for the application of FED.
