다양한 금속(Ru, Mn, Co, Fe)을 $Al_2O_3$와 $CeO_2$에 담지한 촉매를 이용하여 1,2-Dichlorobenzen (1,2-DCB) 제거를 위한 촉매산화 실험을 실시하였다. 이와 더불어 동시에 NOx 제거가 이루어져 단일 촉매층에서 산화/환원 이원 기능이 가능한 촉매를 연구하고자 하였다. 실험결과 1,2-DCB 산화제거효율은 Ru/Co/$Al_2O_3$, Mn-Fe/$CeO_{2}$, 상용촉매인 Cr/$Al_2O_3$ 순으로 나타났다. 또한 1,2-DCB 산화제거효율이 가장 우수하였던 Ru/Co/$Al_2O_3$는 Chlorobenzene (CB)의 분해실험에서도 VOC 제거에 있어서 잘 알려진 Pt-Pd/$Al_2O_3$ 보다 우수한 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 $Cl_2$와 같은 생성물에 의하여 활성의 저하 및 황에 대한 내피독성과 내구성에서 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. NOx 제거에 있어서도 $260^{\circ}C$에서 NOx 전환율이 70% 정도로 나타났다.

The bimodal porous carbons were synthesized by using imprinting method with templates of SBA-15 particle and silica sphere and applied as supporting materials for the electro-catalyst of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). The silica spheres with diameter size of 100 nm and SBA-15 particle having 200 nm -250 nm diameter and 700 nm -900 nm length were synthesized in this work. The bimodal porous carbons (S100) were prepared by using the silica spheres and SBA-15 as templates and mesophase pitch as a carbon source. The PtRu nanoparticle of ca. 1.9 nm were supported on the bimodal porous carbon support and the resulting PtRu/S100 catalysts was tested by the cyclic voltammetry. The use of bimodal porous carbon showed in comparable electro-catalytic activities with commercial catalyst. Though unclear effects of bimodal porosity of supports could be obtained in the scope of this study, morphological advantage in electrical conductivity can be considered on the electro-catalytic activity.

Alloying degree is an important structural factor of PtRu catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). In this work, carbon supported PtRu catalysts were synthesized by reduction method using anhydrous ethanol as a solvent and $NaBH_4$ as a reducing agent. Using anhydrous ethanol as a solvent resulted in high alloying degree and good dispersion. The morphological structure and crystallanity of synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). CO stripping and methanol oxidation reaction were measured. Due to high alloying degree catalyst prepared in anhydrous ethanol, exhibited low onset potential for methanol oxidation and negative peak shift of CO oxidation than commercial sample. Consequently, samples, applying ethanol as a solvent, exhibited not only enhanced CO oxidation, but also increased methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) activity compared with commercial PtRu/C (40 wt%, E-tek) and 40 wt% PtRu/C prepared in water solution.

With the emerging importance of catalysts for water electrolysis, developing efficient and inexpensive electrocatalysts for water electrolysis plays a vital role in renewable hydrogen energy technology. In this study, a 1nm thickness of TiC-supported Ru catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been successfully fabricated using an electron (E)-beam evaporator and thermal decomposition of gaseous CH₄ in a furnace. The prepared Ru/TiC catalyst exhibited an outstanding performance for alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction with an overpotential of 55 mV at 10 mA cm^-2. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the outstanding HER performance of Ru/TiC was attributed to the high surface area of the support and the metal-support interaction.

KIER has been developing a Ru-based preferential oxidation catalysts and a novel fuel processing system to provide hydrogen rich gas to residential PEMFCs system. The catalytic activity of Ru-based catalysts was investigated at different Ru loading amount and different support structure. The obtained result indicated that 2 wt% loaded Ru-based catalyst supported on ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ showed high activity in low temperature range and suppressed the methanation reaction. The developed prototype fuel processor showed thermal efficiency of 78% as a HHV basis with methane conversion of 92%. CO concentration below 10 ppm in the produced gas is achieved with separate preferential oxidation unit under the condition of $[O_2]/[CO]=2.0$. The partial load operation have been carried out to test the performance of fuel processor from 40% to 80% load, showing stable methane conversion and CO concentration below 10 ppm. The durability test for the daily start-stop and 8 h operation procedure is under investigation and shows no deterioration of its performance after 50 start-stop cycles. In addition to the system design and development.

For both oxygen reduction (ORR) and hydrogen oxidation reactions (HOR) of proton electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), alloying Pt with another transition metal usually results in a higher activity relative to pure Pt, mainly due to electronic modification of Pt and bifunctional behaviour of alloy surface for ORR and HOR, respectively. However, activity and stability are closely related to the preparation of alloy nanoparticles. Preparation conditions of alloy nanoparticles have strong influence on surface composition, oxidation state, nanoparticle size, shape, and contamination, which result from a large difference in redox priority of metal precursors, intrinsic properties of metals, increasedreactivity of nanocrystallites, and interactions with constituents for the synthesis such as solvent, stabilizer, and reducing agent, etc. Carbon-supported Pt-Ni alloy nanoparticles were prepared by the borohydride reduction method in anhydrous solvent. Pt-Ru alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon black were also prepared by the similar synthetic method to that of Pt-Ni. Since electrocatalytic reactions are strongly dependent on the surface structure of metal catalysts, the atom-leveled design of the surface structure plays a significant role in a high catalytic activity and the utilization of electrocatalysts. Therefore, surface-modified electrocatalysts have attracted much attention due to their unique structure and new electronic and electrocatalytic properties. The carbon-supported Au and Pd nanoparticles were adapted as the substrate and the successive reduction process was used for depositing Pt and PtM (M=Ru, Pd, and Rh) bimetallic elements on the surface of Au and Pd nanoparticles. Distinct features of the overlayers for electrocatalytic activities including methanol oxidation, formic acid oxidation, and oxygen reduction were investigated.

Copper (Cu)-based catalysts have been widely used in a methanol steam reforming (MSR) reaction for hydrogen production for air-independent propulsion (AIP) applications and their good catalytic activities have attracted much attention. However, the agglomeration of the catalytic active site Cu causes deteriorating the catalytic performance and suppression of Cu agglomeration is a crucial issue in the AIP applications that the MSR system is typically operated at 250-300℃ for a long time. R. Sakai et al. recently showed a computational study on the anchoring effect that reduces an agglomeration of active sites by doping in a supporter. In order to present the anchoring effect on 𝛾-Al₂O₃ supported Cu-based catalysts, in this study, the adsorption energies of Cu on X-doped (X=ruthenium, phosphorus, silicon) 𝛾-Al₂O₃ were calculated and Cu adsorption energy decreased due to a change of the electronic structure originated from doping, thereby proving the anchoring effect.

탄화수소 선택적 촉매환원공정에서 ${\gamma}$-알루미나에 지지된 금속 산화물 촉매의 크기 및 형태에 따른 질소산화물 ($NO_x$) 저감 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 환원촉매로는 Ag, Cu 및 Ru를 사용하였으며, n-heptane을 환원제로 사용하였다. Ag/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 경우 온도범위 $250{\sim}400^{\circ}C$에서 20 nm>50 nm>80 nm 순으로 Ag의 크기가 작을수록 $NO_x$ 전환효율이 높게 나타났다. 금속 산화물 촉매의 형태에 따른 영향은 구형과 선형에 대해 살펴보았다. Ag와 Cu는 동일한 조건에서 선형이 구형보다 $NO_x$ 전환효율이 높은 것으로 나타났으나, Ru의 경우에는 형태에 따른 영향이 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 사용된 금속산화물 촉매 중에서 Ag를 사용했을 때 $NO_x$ 저감효율이 가장 높았으며, 선형의 Ag를 사용했을 때 $300^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 대부분의 $NO_x$를 제거할 수 있었다. Cu와 Ru 촉매상에서는 NO가 환원되기보다는 $NO_2$로의 산화반응이 우세하여 전체적으로 $NO_x$ 저감효율이 낮게 나타났다.

희분식 고온/고압 미분반응기를 이용하여 습식산화 반응시 대표적 난분해성 중간 산화물질로 알려진 아세트산을 산화반응 기질로 하여 여러 가지 담체 및 촉매의 조합에 대한 산화반응성을 실험하였다. 사용된 담체는 다공성 실리카($SiO_2$), 티타니아($TiO_2$), 지르코니아($ZrO_2$), $ZrSiO_4$, $ZrO_2(10wt%)/TiO_2$ 등이었으며 촉매활성성분온 크게 Ru, Mn, Ce의 세 가지로서 단독 혹은 조합사용(2성분계 및 3성분계)시의 산화활성에 대하여 조사하였다. 이를 통하여 일차척인 활성이 우수한 것으로 나타난 $Mn(2.8)-Ce(7.2wt%)/TiO_2$ 혹은 $Ru(0.5)-Mn(2.7)-Ce(6.8wt%)/TiO_2$ 기준촉매의 활성증진을 위하여 p-type 반도체 물질(CoO, SnO 및 $Ag_2O$)를 첨가제로 소량 사용함으로써 이에 따른 습식산화 반응 상대 활성실험을 수행하였다. 우선, $Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ 기준촉매에 있어서, p-type 반도체 물질(CO, Sn Ag)을 첨가한 경우, 모두 활성증진효과를 보이며 크기 정도는 Co> Ag >Sn순이었다. 특히, $Mn(2.7)-Ce(6.8)-Co(0.5wt%) /TiO_2$에 있어서는 약 2.6배의 높은 활성상승이 나타났다. 이의 가시적인 주원인은 표면적 증가 및 시너지 효과에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. $Ru-Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ 기준 촉매에 있어서는 $Ru(O.5)-Mn(2.4)-Ce(6.1)-Co(1.0wt%)/TiO_2$에서만 활성증진효과를 보였으며 그 이외의 다른 경우에 있어서는 표면적 및 활성감소가 일어났다.
