The effect of Ce promotion over 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on the CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity was investigated in preferential CO oxidation (PrOx) to reduce the CO concentration less than 10 ppm in excess $H_2$ stream for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the loading amount of Pt was fixed at 1wt%. The content of Ce promoter which has excellent oxygen storage and transfer capability due to the redox property was adjusted from 0 to 1.5wt%. Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts exhibit high CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ due to the improvement of reducibility of surface PtOx species compared with the 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst without Ce addition. When Ce content was more than 1wt%, the catalytic activity was decreased at over $160^{\circ}C$ in PrOx because of competitive $H_2$ oxidation. As a result, 0.5wt% Ce is optimal content not only to achieve high catalytic activity and good stability at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ but also to minimize the $H_2$ oxidation at high temperatures.

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.

온실가스로 알려진 $N_2O$의 촉매 분해는 최소한 670 K 이상의 온도가 요구되는 난해한 공정으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 CO 환원제와 더불어 473 K의 저온에서도 $N_2O$를 전량 분해될 정도로 높은 활성을 나타내는 혼합금속산화물(mixed metal oxide: MMO) 촉매에 Ce을 첨가함으로서 나타나는 $N_2O$ 분해활성에의 영향을 검토하기 위하여 수행되었다. MMO 촉매는 Co 및 Al 외에 Rh과 Pd을 사용하고, 여기에 Ce을 미량 첨가하여 공침전법으로 제조하였으며, 결과적으로 Ce 함량이 증가함에 따라 촉매 표면적은 감소하고 $N_2O$의 직접분해 활성이 감소하는 현상이 나타났다. 그러나 CO 환원제의 분위기 하에서는 이러한 활성 감소를 상쇄하고도 남을 정도의 높은 $N_2O$ 분해활성을 나타냈으며 Ce 첨가비율에 따른 활성저하도 줄일 수 있어서 MMO 촉매의 물리적 안정성 증대를 위해 Ce을 첨가할 경우 CO 환원제에 의한 $N_2O$ 환원 반응계의 활성 안정성도 유지될 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

환경오염과 인체의 유해성 및 지구온난화로 인하여 자동차의 파워트레인의 변화가 심화되고 있으며 전기자동차의 시장점유율이 상승하고 있다. 또한, 화석연료를 기반으로 하는 내연기관 자동차의 엄격한 배기가스규제를 충족시키기 위해 자동차와 선박용 후처리장치의 비중이 점차로 증가하고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 CNG 버스에서 배출되는 유독성 가스를 저감하는 NGOC의 $CH_4$와 NOx 저감 능력 향상을 위하여 조촉매 $CeO_2$ 담지량에 영향을 파악하는 것이다. 3종의 천연가스산화촉매(NGOC)를 Fresh 조건과 $700^{\circ}C$ 12hr 열적 열화 조건으로 촉매를 제조한 후 유해가스 저감 성능을 평가하였다. $CeO_2$는 일반적으로 산화 환원반응성이 좋아 촉매활성에 좋다고 알려져 왔으며, 안정적인 물질인 $CH_4$와 NOx 저감 능력에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 것은 의의가 있다. 6wt% $CeO_2$가 담지된 Fresh $1Pt-3Pd-1Rh-3MgO-6CeO_2/(Al+Z)$ NGOC는 $CH_4$에 대한 선택도가 큰 Pd의 분산도가 제일 높았고 유해가스 저감 성능도 향상되었다. $700^{\circ}C$ 12hr 고온조건에서 내구성이 낮은 지지체 zeolite의 화합물 결정이 일부 파괴되면서 zeolite의 결정체인 $Al_2O_3$가 떨어져 나와 응집되었다. 6wt% $CeO_2$가 담지된 NGOC는 귀금속의 분산도 저하가 가장 작았고, $CeO_2$의 열적인 내구성으로 인하여 유해가스 저감 성능이 가장 높았다.

Ceria(CeO2) stabilized zirconia(CeSZ) sol was synthesized with zirconium n-butoxide Zr(OC4H9)4 and cerium nitrate hexahydrate Ce(NO3)3.6H2O as precursors and ethylacetoacetate(EAcAc) as a chelating agent under atmosphere. CeSZ films were deposited on AISI 304 stainless steel using the prepared polymeric sol by dipcoating and the coating characteristics were investigated by XRD, ellipsometry, scratch test and SEM. The CeSZ film began to crystallize from amorphous to tetragonal phase at 40$0^{\circ}C$ and it was not converted into monoclinic phase up to 100$0^{\circ}C$ by the addition of 16mol% CeO2 as a stabilizer which could suppress phase transformation of zirconia. The CeSZ films were prepared by varying the EAcAc contents and the cncentration of CeSZ sol and measured the thickness and refractive index. From these results, it was found that the EAcAc contents and concentration of CeSZ coating sol evidently affect the densification of CeSZ film. The CeSZ film coated with 0.4M CeSZ sol and heat-treated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 10min had thickness of 50nm and 17% porosity. The CeSZ film on 304 stainless steel effectively acted as a protective layer against oxidation up to 80$0^{\circ}C$ and had superior corrosion resistance in 25% H2SO4 solution for 4.5 hrs.

The oxygen flux of SDC ($Sm_2O_3\;doped\;CeO_2$) solid electrolyte membranes with electronic and oxygen ion-ic conductivities has been investigated as a basic research in order to develop the conversion process of na-tural gas to syngas using the ceramic membrane reactor. Tube type membranes(1 mm thickness) were fa-bricated by slip casting of SDC powders prepared by the oxalate coprecipitaion method. Dense oxygen per-meation membranes(0.1 mm thickness) could be synthesized via sintering at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 2h and their re-lative density was over 95% The oxygen flux through SDC membranes doped 20mol% $Sm_15$ was about $1.13{\times}10^{-5}\;mol/m_2{\cdot}sec$ at low temperature around $800^{\circ}C$. In addition the SDC membranes showed a good thermaal stability for a long period of service.

$La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ as air electrode for soild oxide fuel cell was synthesized by a citrate process and its cathodic polarization was determinated by the current interruption method on the Gd-doped ceria as electrolyte. The addition of citric acid increased the exothermic heat for the formation of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ perovskite oxide. The degree of the initial particle agglomeration was affected by the exothermic heat. Also the increase of cal-cination temperature enlarged the particle size and the higher sintering temperature accelerated the den-sification of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ layer after its being painted on $Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{1.9}$ electrolyte. In this study $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}MnO_{3-\delta}$ synthesized by citrate process of which the molar ratio of citric acid to metal nitrate was 2 calcined at $650^{\circ}C$ for 2hr and sintered at 1100 at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs after slurry coating on Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 electrlyte showed the lowest cathodic polarization.

0.03Pb$(Sb_{0.5}Nb_{0.5})O_{3}-0.03Pb(Mn{1/3}Nb{2/3)O_{3}-(0.94-x)PbTiO_{3}-xPbZrO_{3}$ ceramics doped with $CeO_{2}$ were synthesized by conventional bulk ceramic processing technique. Phases analysis, microstructures and piezoelectric properties were investigated as a function of $CeO_{2}$ content (0.03, 0.05, 0.1 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 wt%). Microstructures and phases information were characterized using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Mechanical quality factor ($Q_{m}$) and coupling factor(kp) were obtained from the resonance measurement method. Both $Q_{m}$ and $k_{p}$ were shown to reach to the maximum at 0.1 wt% $CeO_{2}$. In order to evaluate the stability of resonance frequency and effective electromechanical coupling factor ($K_{eff}$) as a function of $CeO_{2}$, the variation of resonance and anti-resonance frequency were also measured using a high voltage frequency response analyzer under various alternating electric fields from 10 V/mm to 80 V/mm. It was shown that the stability of resonance frequency and effective electromechanical coupling factor were increased with increasing the $CeO_{2}$ contents.

CeO₂ nanoparticles, employed in a lot of fields due to their excellent oxidation and reduction properties, are synthesized through a solvothermal process, and a high specific surface area is shown by controlling, among various process parameters in the solvothermal process, the type of solvent. The synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles are about 11~13 nm in the crystallite size and their specific surface area is about 65.38~84.65 ㎡/g, depending on the amount of ethanol contained in the solvent for the solvothermal process; all synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles shows a fluorite structure. The dispersibility and microstructure of the synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles are investigated according to the species of dispersant and the pH value of the solution; an improvement in dispersibility is shown with the addition of dispersants and control of the pH. Various dispersing properties appear according to the dispersant species and pH in the solution with the synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles, indicating that improved dispersing properties in the synthesized CeO₂ nanoparticles can be secured by applying dispersant and pH control simultaneously.
