PEMFC(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells)에서 PtCo/C 합금 촉매가 성능이나 내구성에서 우수하여 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 높은 전압에서(1.0~1.5 V) 평가되는 촉매 지지체 내구성에 관한 연구는 별로 보고 되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 PtCo/C 촉매와 Pt/C 촉매에 촉매 지지체 가속 열화 프로토콜을 적용한 후 내구성을 비교하였다. 1.0↔1.5V 전압 변화 사이클 반복 후에 촉매 비활성도(Mass activity)와 전기화학적 활성면적(ECSA), 전기이중층 용량(DLC), Pt 용해와 입자 성장 등을 분석하였다. 전압변화 2,000 사이클 후 PtCo/C 촉매는 Pt/C 촉매에 비해 0.9 V에서 촉매 무게당 전류밀도가 1.5배 이상 감소하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 PtCo/C 촉매의 카본지지체의 열화 속도가 Pt/C 촉매보다 높기 때문이었다. Pt/C 촉매는 PtCo/C 촉매보다 촉매층의 ECSA 감소가 1.5배 이상 높았지만 Pt/C 촉매의 카본 지지체 부식이 작아 I-V 성능 감소가 작았다. PtCo/C 촉매의 고전압 내구성 향상을 위해서는 카본 지지체 내구성 향상이 필수적임을 보였다.

Physical and electrochemical qualities were analyzed after KOH activation of a direct methanol fuel cell using needle coke as anode supporter. The results of research on support loaded with platinum-ruthenium suggest that an activated KOH needle coke container has the lowest onset potential and the highest degree of catalyst activity among all commercial catalysts. Through an analysis of the CO stripping voltammetry, we found that KOH activated catalysis showed a 21% higher electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), with a value of 31.37 m² /g, than the ECSA of deactivated catalyst (25.82 m² /g). The latter figure was 15% higher than the value of one specific commercial catalyst (TEC86E86).

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) are grown by using Co catalyst metal. CNTs fabricated by PECVD(plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method are studied in terms of surface reaction and surface structure by TEM and Raman analysing method and ate analysed in its electrical field emission characteristics with variation of space between anode and cathode. Acetylene(C$_2$H$_2$) gas is used as the carbon source, while ammonia and hydrogen gas are used as catalyst and dilution gas. The CNTs grown by hydrogen(H$_2$) gas plasma indicates better vortical alignment, lower temperature process, and longer tip, compared to that grown by ammonia(NH$_3$) gas plasma. The CNTs fabricated with Co(cobalt) catalyst metal and PECVD method show the multiwall structure in mid-circle type in tip-end and the inner vacancy of 10nm. Emission properties of CNTs indicate the turn-on field to be 2.6 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ We suggest that CNTs can be possibly applied to the emitter tip of FEDs and high brightness flat lamp because of low temperature CNTs growth, low turn-on field.

In water-cooled power reactor, hydrogen is generated in case of steam zirconium reaction during severe accident condition and later on in addition to hydrogen; CO is also generated during molten corium concrete interaction after reactor pressure vessel failure. Passive Autocatalytic Recombiners (PARs) are provided in the containment for hydrogen management. The performance of the PARs in presence of hydrogen and carbon monoxide along with air has been evaluated. Depending on the conditions, CO may either react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2) or act as catalyst poison, reducing the catalyst activity and hence the hydrogen conversion efficiency. CFD analysis has been carried out to determine the effect of CO on catalyst plate temperature for 2 & 4% v/v H₂ and 1-4% v/v CO with air at the recombiner inlet for a reported experiment. The results of CFD simulations have been compared with the reported experimental data for the model validation. The reaction at the recombiner plate is modelled based on diffusion theory. The developed CFD model has been used to predict the maximum catalyst temperature and outlet species concentration for different inlet velocity and temperatures of the mixture gas. The obtained results were used to fit a correlation for obtaining removal rate of carbon monoxide inside PAR as a function of inlet velocity and concentrations.

For $CO_2-free$ hydrogen production and better utilization of the produced carbon, catalytic decomposition of methane over rubber-grade carbon blacks manufactured from coal tar was carried out. The catalytic activities of several domestic carbon blacks were compared. A pelletized carbon black exhibited considerably lower activity and activation energy than the fluffy( loose) carbon black of the same grade. This difference is considered due to the binder that was added during pelletization. For pelletized carbon blacks, a tendency was observed that the activity per unit mass of catalyst increased with the specific surface area of the carbon black. Another tendency was also observed that the activation energy increased with the primary particle size or decrease of the specific surface area.

Understanding the exact structure and surface characteristics of carbon materials is very important for design, synthesis, and utilization of the best carbon form with particular functions and high performance for practical applications such as selective adsorption adsorbents, energy storage materials, catalysts or catalyst supports, etc. This review paper focuses on carbon surface properties and the interaction between gaseous or liquid substances and carbon surface. Catalytic functions of carbon materials are reviewed including recent progress in synthesis and applications of nano-carbons.

인산형 연료전지용 전극촉매로 많이 사용되고 있는 고가의 백금촉매의 이용가치를 높이기 위하여 촉매 담지시 백금촉매의 미립화가 매우 중요하다. 따라서 카본블랙상에 고분산화된 촉매의 제조를 위하여, 고전적 함침법, pressing & soaking법, 무전해 도금법 및 콜로이드법의 여러 가지 촉매담지방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 그리고 각 촉매담지방법에 대하여 카본블랙상 백금촉매의 담지수율 및 백금촉매 입자크기를 비교하였다. 담지수율은 DCP로 확인하였으며 입자의 크기는 XRD 및 TEM으로 관찰하였다. 결과 콜로이드방법이 백금촉매를 $30{\AA}$ 이하로 미립화할 수 있는 가장 우수한 촉매담지 방법이었으며 카본 담체에 대한 백금촉매의 담지수율은 99% 이상이었다.

Automobile Shredder Residue (ASR) is very appropriate in a gasification melting system. Gasification melting system, because of high reaction temperature over than $1,350^{\circ}C$, can reduce harmful materials. To use the gasification processes for hydrogen production, the high concentration of CO in syngas must be converted into hydrogen gas by using water gas shift reaction. In this study, the characteristics of shift reaction of the high temperature catalyst (KATALCO 71-5M) and the low temperature catalyst (KATALCO 83-3X) in the fixed - bed reactor has been determined by using simulation gas which is equal with the syngas composition of gasification melting process. The carbon monoxide composition has been decreased as the WGS reaction temperature has increased. And the occurrence quantity of the hydrogen and the carbon dioxide increased. When using the high temperature catalyst, the carbon monoxide conversion ratio ($1-CO_{out}/CO_{in}$) rose up to 95.8 from 55.6. Compared with average conversion ratio from the identical synthesis gas composition, the low temperature catalyst was better than the high temperature catalyst.
