In this study, the effect of physical properties of $Pt/TiO_2$ on $NH_3$-selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) reaction at $200{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ was investigated. CO-chemisoption and BET analysis were carried out to verify physical properties of $Pt/TiO_2$. By characterizing physical properties of $Pt/TiO_2$ with respect to the Pt loading, the metal dispersion degree decreased as a function of the Pt loading amount. Also, the catalyst having a higher metal dispersion showed an excellent conversion efficiency of $NH_3$ to $N_2$. Since the specific surface area of the support affects the metal dispersion, $Pt/TiO_2$ catalysts were prepared using $TiO_2$ with different physical properties. As a result, it was confirmed that the catalyst having a wide specific surface area exhibited a excellent conversion of $NH_3$ to $N_2$.

In this study, the study of the selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) for controlling the $NH_3$ at $200{\sim}350^{\circ}C$ range was investigated. Physicochemical properties of the catalysts were determined using XRD and XPS analysis. In the case of catalytic activity according to thermal treatment condition, the reduction catalyst showed better activity than that of using the calcination catalyst. It was confirmed that the valence state of reduction catalyst was mainly $Pt^{2+}$ and $Pt^0$ as analyzed by XPS. Also, when comparing the reaction activities of $Pt/TiO_2$ catalysts according to the reduction temperature, the $NH_3$ conversion of the catalyst reduced at $700^{\circ}C$ showed the most excellent activity. However, the best activity of $NH_3$ conversion to $N_2$ was obtained for the catalyst reduced at $600^{\circ}C$.

In this study, the effect of $Pt/TiO_2$ catalysts on the CO oxidation reaction at room temperature was investigated using various $TiO_2$ supports with different physical properties to compare and evaluate $Pt/TiO_2$ catalysts. Physicochemical properties of the catalyst were alanyzed using XPS, CO-chemisorption, BET, and CO-TPD. As a result, when the active particle diameter was smaller, while the metal dispersion and surface area were larger, the CO room temperature oxidation reaction was better. These physical properties increased the number of active sites, causing the target material to increase the adsorption amount of CO. In addition, when the $O_2$-consumption increased, the CO-room temperature oxidation reaction activity increased due to the excellent oxygen-transferring ability.

Simultaneous removal reaction for NOx, soot over Pt catalysts using various $TiO_2$ as support was studied. The catalytic tests ware carried out injectin NO, soot, NO and soot simultaneously on each catalysts. As results, it showed different NOx removal efficiency and soot oxidation rate according to various kinds of $TiO_2$. Onset temperature of soot oxidation has a correlation to $NO_2$ generated for the independently performed NOx. It was investigated that NO to $NO_2$ oxidation was intimately related to crystallite size and surface area, and it has a tremendous impact on Pt aggregation on the catalyst surface and catalyst' reducibility. Therefore, we concluded that major index of the reaction was physico-chemical properties of catalyst' supports.

In this work, thermal shock and simultaneous removal reaction for NOx, soot over Pt catalysts using $TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ as support were studied. The catalytic reaction test for NOx and soot were also performed independently and simultaneously, as a result, it showed different NOx removal efficiency and soot oxidation rate according to support and phase, and the onset temperature of soot oxidation has correlation to NOx removal efficiency for the catalyst. The onset temperature of soot oxidation shifted to lower temperature by generated $NO_2$ at the simultaneous reaction for NOx and soot. Also Pt/$TiO_2$ catalyst is more affected than Pt/$Al_2O_3$ on NOx removal efficiency caused by thermal shock while Pt sintering effect induced to reduce the performance on soot oxidation rate for all catalysts.

In order to increase the usability of H₂-SCR, the NOx removal characteristics with catalyst powder of PtNi/CeO₂-W-TiO₂ using Ce as a co-catalyst was synthesized and coated on a porous metal structure (PMS) were evaluated. Catalyst powder of PtNi/CeO₂-W-TiO₂(PtNi nanoparticles onto W-TiO₂, with the incorporation of ceria (CeO₂) as a co-catalysts) was synthesized and coated onto a porous metal structure (PMS) to produce a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst. H₂-SCR with CeO₂ as a co-catalyst exhibited higher NOx removal efficiency compared to H₂-SCR without CeO₂. Particularly, at a 10wt% CeO₂ loading ratio, the NOx removal efficiency was highest at 90℃. As the amount of catalyst coating on PMS increased, the NOx removal efficiency was improved below 90℃, but it was decreased above 120℃. When the space velocity was changed from 4,000 h^-1 to 20,000 h^-1, the NOx removal efficiency improved at temperatures above 120℃. It was expected that the use of the catalyst could be reduced by applying the PMS with excellent specific surface area as a support.

The effect of Pt addition over $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ catalyst supported on PRO-66 was investigated for NO reduction in order to develop the catalytic filter working at low temperature. Catalytic filters, $Pt-V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2/PRD$, were prepared by co-impregnation of Pt, V, and W precursors on $TiO_2$-coated ceramic filter named PRD (PRD-66). Titania was coated onto the pore surface of the ceramic filter using a vacuum aided-dip coating method. The Pt-loaded catalytic filter shifted the optimum working temperature from $260-320^{\circ}C$(for the catalytic filter without Pt addition) to $190-240^{\circ}C$, reducing 700 ppm NO to achieve the $N_x$ slip concentration($N_x\;=\;NO+N_2O+NO_2+NH_3$) less than 20 ppm at the face velocity of 2 cm/s. $Pt-V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$ supported on PRD showed the similar catalytic activity for NO reduction with that supported on SiC filter as reported in a previous study, which implies the ceramic filter itself has no considerable interaction for the catalytic activity.

Carbon supports for dispersed platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are being continuously developed to improve electrochemical performance and catalyst stability. However, carbon supports still require solutions to reduce costs and improve catalyst efficiency. In this study, we prepare well-dispersed Pt electrocatalysts by introducing titanium dioxide (TiO₂) into biomass based nitrogen-doped carbon supports. In order to obtain optimized electrochemical performance, different amounts of TiO₂ component are controlled by three types (Pt/TNC-2 wt%, Pt/TNC-4 wt%, and Pt/TNC-6 wt%). Especially, the anodic current density of Pt/TNC-4 wt% is 707.0 mA g^-1_pt, which is about 1.65 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C (429.1 mA g^-1_pt); Pt/TNC-4wt% also exhibits excellent catalytic stability, with a retention rate of 91 %. This novel support provides electrochemical performance improvement including several advantages of improved anodic current density and catalyst stability due to the well-dispersed Pt nanoparticles on the support by the introduction of TiO₂ component and nitrogen doping in carbon. Therefore, Pt/TNC-4 wt% may be electrocatalyst a promising catalyst as an anode for high-performance DMFCs.

Pt has been widely used as catalyst for fuel cell and exhausted gas clean systems due to its high catalytic activity. Recently, there have been researches on fabricating composite materials of Pt as a method of reducing the amount of Pt due to its high price. One of the approaches for saving Pt used as catalyst is a core shell structure consisting of Pt layer on the core of the non-noble metal. In this study, the synthesis of Pt shell was conducted on the surface of $TiO_2$ particle, a non-noble material, by applying ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Anatase $TiO_2$ particles with the average size of 20~30 nm were immersed in the ethanol dissolved with Pt precursor of $H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}6H_2O$ and exposed to UV irradiation with the wavelength of 365 nm. It was confirmed that Pt nano-particles were formed on the surface of $TiO_2$ particles by photochemical reduction of Pt ion from the solution. The morphology of the synthesized Pt@$TiO_2$ nano-composite was examined by TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy).

This work investigated the catalytic reaction characteristics of $H_2$ SCR applied at low temperature ($80{\sim}150^{\circ}C$) using Pt catalyst supported on $TiO_2$. The experiments were performed in terms of $H_2O$, $O_2$ in reaction gas, calcination temperature of the Pt catalyst, $H_2$/NOx mole ratio, space velocity. $H_2O$ was an inhibitor of reaction on $H_2$ SCR using Pt catalyst, catalytic performance increased as $O_2$ concentration decreased. Nevertheless, $NH_3$ slip generated by the reaction between NOx and $H_2$ in the absence of $O_2$. While it was effective to calcine less than $600^{\circ}C$ by phase transition and the catalytic performance increased as $H_2$/NOx mole ratio increased. However, $H_2$ slip was not observed at that increase mole ratio by $H_2$ oxidation to $H_2O$.
