NiO/YSZ(70 wt%NiO) composite powders were prepared by ball-milling of 8YSZ and NiO precursors, dried and then followed by calcination. The approach was to combine acidic $Ni(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and basic $2NiCO_3{\cdot}3Ni(OH)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ via acid-base reaction as a mixed NiO precursor. Their effects were studied in the aspects of DSC, microstructure, porosity, and electrical conductivity. Ni/YSZ composite of 1N9C (1 mole NiO from the nitrate and 9 moles of NiO from the carbonate) was prepared by consolidation at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, and then followed by reduction at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 3 h under flowing of 6% $H_2/N_2$. It showed a homogeneous microstructure with ${\sim}20%$ porosity and 1880 S/cm at $1000^{\circ}C$.

In the present study, $Ni-TiO_2$ composite coatings were electrodeposited in a sulfamate bath containing $TiO_2$ particles. The influence of the ultrasonic treatment on the co-deposition of $TiO_2$ particles in the coating and the hardness of the electrodeposited $Ni-TiO_2$ composite has been investigated. Three different ultrasonic treatments (pretreatment before the electrodeposition (pre-UT), pretreatment + applied during the electrodeposition (UT), and the electrodeposition without the ultrasonic treatment (w/o UT)) were performed. The $Ni-TiO_2$ composite coatings are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), image analyzer, and hardness tester. Comparison of results indicates that the volume fraction is more important factor than the agglomerated particle size in terms of the strength improvement, and the strength of the electrodeposited $Ni-TiO_2$ composite coatings is enhanced with pre-UT condition.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) enhances the stability of cathode materials via surface modification. Previous studies have demonstrated that an Ni-rich cathode, such as LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂, is a promising candidate owing to its high capacity, but is limited by poor cycle stability. In this study, to enhance the stability of the Ni-rich cathode, synthesized LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ was coated with Al₂O₃ using ALD. Thus, the surface-modified cathode exhibited enhanced stability by protecting the interface from Ni-O formation during the cycling process. The coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ exhibited a capacity of 176 mAh g^-1 at 1 C and retained up to 72% of the initial capacity after 100 cycles within a range of 2.8-4.3 V (vs Li/Li⁺. In contrast, pristine LiNi_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1O₂ presented only 58% of capacity retention after 100 cycles with an initial capacity of 173 mAh g^-1. Improved cyclability may be a result of the ALD coating, which physically protects the electrode by modifying the interface, and prevents degradation by resisting side reactions that result in capacity decay. The electrochemical impedance spectra and structural and morphological analysis performed using electron microscopy and X-ray techniques establish the surface enhancement resulting from the aforementioned strategy.

The methane reforming with $CO_2$ and steam for manufacture of synthesis gas over $Ni/ZrO_2$ catalyst was investigated. Mixed reforming carried out $CO_2$ dry reforming with $O_2$ and steam for development of DME process in pilot plant. To improve a catalyst deactivation by coke formation, the mixed reforming added carbon dioxide and steam as a oxidizer of the methane reforming was suggested. The result of experiments over commercial catalyst in $CO_2$ dry reforming has shown that the catalyst activity decrease rapidly after 20 hours. In case of $NiO-MgO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst, the deactivation of 20 percent after 30 hours was occurred. The activity of Ni/C catalyst still was not decreased dramatically after 100 hours. The effect of $H_2$ reforming with steam over $Ni/CO_2$ catalyst obtained the optimal conversion of methane and carbon dioxide, and could be produced synthesis gas at ratio of $H_2/CO$ under 1.5.

An optimum route to fabricate the ferrous alloy dispersed $Al_2O_3$ nanocomposites such as $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni and $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Co with sound microstructure and desired properties was investigated. The composites were fabricated by the sintering of powder mixtures of $Al_2O_3$ and nano-sized ferrous alloy, in which the alloy was prepared by solution-chemistry routes using metal nitrates powders and a subsequent hydorgen reduction process. Microstructural observation of reduced powder mixture revealed that the Fe-Ni or Fe-Co alloy particles of about 20 nm in size homogeneously surrounded $Al_2O_3$, forming nanocomposite powder. The sintered $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni composite showed the formation of Fe$Al_2O_4$ phase, while the reaction phases were not observed in $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Co composite. Hot-pressed $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni composite showed improved mechanical properties and magnetic response. The properties are discussed in terms of microstructural characteristics such as the distribution and size of alloy particles.

The catalyst Ni/MgO (Ni : 15 wt%) has been applied to methane reforming reactions, such as steam reforming of methane (SRM), partial oxidation of methane (POM), and oxy-steam reforming of methane (OSRM). It showed high activity and good stability in all the reforming reactions. Especially, it exhibited stable catalytic performance even in stoichiometric SRM (H2O/CH4 = 1). From TPR and H2 pulse chemisorption results, a strong interaction between NiO and MgO results in a high dispersion of Ni crystallite. Pulse reaction results revealed that both CH4 and O2 are activated on the surface of metallic Ni over the catalyst, and then surface carbon species react with adsorbed oxygen to produce CO.

우수한 전기화학적 특성을 갖는 $LiN_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$ 정극 활물질을 평균 $1{\mu}m$ 이하의 균일한 입자 분포를 얻을 수 있는 액상 반응법의 하나인 졸겔법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 제조된 $LiN_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$를 X선 회절과 TEM(transmission electron microscopy)분석을 통하여 미세구조를 분석하였다. 충방전 실험전과 실험후의 미세구조의 변화에 중점을 주어 실험하였으며, 그 결과 졸겔법으로 제조된$LiN_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$ 정극 활물질은 높은 가역 용량을 가지며 뛰어난 싸이클 특성을 가지고 있다 이는 졸겔법으로 제소함으로 인하여 Ni과 Co양이온의 균일한 화학조성을 가지고 있기 때문이라 생각된다. 특히 $LiCoO_2$에서 관찰되었던 cubic spinel disordering과 심각한 구조적 결함이 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 Al 치환으로 인하여 싸이클 특성을 좋아졌지만 용량은 감소하였다.

합성가스를 생산하기 위한 메탄의 부분산화반응 특성을 $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$, $Ni-Ru/CeO_2-ZrO_2$와 $Ni-Pd/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ 촉매체를 이용하여 조사하였다. 메탄의 부분 산화 개질 반응에서 촉매의 높은 활성과 안정성을 위하여 허니컴 구조의 금속모노리스 촉매 체를 적용하였다. 촉매분석은 XRD와 FE-SEM을 사용하였으며, 제조된 촉매들의 합성가스 제조 특성은 반응물 비(O/C), GHSV와 온도를 변화시키면서 연구하였다. 개질 실험에서 사용된 촉매 중에서 $Ni-Pd/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ 촉매 체가 가장 높은 활성을 보여 주었으며, $900^{\circ}C$, GHSV=10,000 $h^{-1}$과 O/C=0.55에서 99%의 메탄 전환율을 얻었다. O/C 비가 증가함에 따라 수소 yield는 증가되고, 반면에 CO yield는 거의 일정하게 유지됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 GHSV가 증가할수록 메탄의 전환율은 감소하였으며, 높은 메탄의 전환율을 얻을 수 있는 GHSV의 범위는 10,000 $h^{-1}$ 이하임을 알 수 있었다.

대표적인 비암모니아성 선택적 촉매환원반응기인 H₂-SCR의 활용성을 높이기 위하여 Ce를 조촉매로 활용한 PtNi/CeO₂-W-TiO₂의 촉매 분말을 합성하고 다공성 금속 구조(porous metal structure, PMS)에 코팅하여 선택적 촉매 환원에 의한 NOx 제거 특성을 평가하였다. CeO₂를 조촉매로 사용한 H₂-SCR은 CeO₂를 사용하지 않은 경우에 비해 더 높은 NOx 제거 효율을 나타내었으며, CeO₂ 담지율 10 wt%에서는 반응온도 90℃에서 가장 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 한편, 촉매구조체인 PMS의 촉매 코팅량이 증가함에 따라 NOx 제거효율은 90℃ 이하에서는 향상되었으나, 120℃ 이상에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였고 공간속도를 4,000 h^-1에서 20,000 h^-1로 변경한 경우, 120℃이상의 온도에서 NOx 제거 효율이 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
