The catalytic activity of precious metals(Rh, Pd, Pt) and nickel catalysts supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3\;and\;CeO_2$ in the partial combustion of methane(PCM) to syngas was investigated based on the product distribution in a fixed bed now reactor under atmospheric condition and also on analysis results by SEM, XPS, TPD, BET, and XRD. The activity of the catalysts based on the syngas yield increased in the sequence $Rh(5)/CeO_2{\geq}Ni(5)/CeO_2>>Rh(5)/Al_2O_3>Pd(5)/Al_2O_3>Ni(5)/Al_2O_3$. Compared to the precious catalysts, the syngas yield and stability of the $Ni(5)/CeO_2$ catalyst were almost similar to $(5)/CeO_2$ catalyst, and superior to these of any other catalysts. The syngas yield of $Ni(5)/CeO_2$ catalyst was 90.66% at 1023 K. It could be suggested to be the redox cycle of the successive reaction and formation of active site, $Ni^{2-}$ and the lattice oxygen, $O^{2-}$ produced due to reduction of $Ce^{4-}$ to $Ce^{3-}$.

$Fe_2O_3$ added Pb$(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3-PbZrO_3 $ (PNN-PT-PZ) ceramics were produced in order to use them as a bimoph acturator for energy harvesting. Especially, the 0.25 wt% $Fe_2O_3$ added 0.4PNN-0.357PT-0.243PZ, having the composition of morphotropic phase boundary, showed good piezoelectric properties of $d_{33}$ of 810 pC/N, $k_p$ of 77% and $Q_m$ of 55 along with a high Curie temperature of $210^{\circ}C$. A bimorph actuator, composed of the two piezoelectric layers bonded together with a phosphorous bronze layer as a central metallic electrode, was successfully fabricated. The bimorph actuator, vibrated with a 1.3 mm amplitude at 68 Hz, produced high electric power of approximately 60 mW.

M(S-S,ph)(N-N,H) (M = Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II); (S-S,ph) = 1,2-diphenylethylenedithiolate; (N-N,H)=1,10-phenanthroline) 착물의 친전자성 및 친핵성 리간드 반응을 조사하였다. norbornadiene과의 반응성은 중심금속의 역결합의 정도에 의존하며 2,5-dithia-3,4-diphenyl-tricyclo[4,4,1,0]-undeca-3,8-diene을 생성하였다. methyl iodide와의 반응은 (N-N,H) 리간드의 이탈 능력에 지배되며 메틸화된 $M(S-S,ph)_2$ 착물을 생성하였다. 이 반응의 주생성무리은 열 분해에 의해 얻어진 ${\alpha},{\alpha}{\prime}$,-bismethylthiostibene $(CH_3S-SCH_3,ph)$의 구조로부터 M(S-S,CN)(N-N,H)((S-S,CN) = 1,2-dicyanoethylenedithiolate)의 새로운 혼합 리간드 착물을 합성하였다.

Application of fuel cell to produce renewable energy for commercial purpose is limited by the high cost of Pt based electrode materials. Development of inexpensive, high energetic electrode is the need of the hour to produce pollution free energy using bio-fuel through a fuel cell. Ni-Cu and Ni-CeO₂-Cu electrode materials, electro synthesized by pulse current have been developed. The surface morphology of the electrode materials is controlled by different deposition parameters in order to produce a high current from the electro-oxidation of the fuel, the ethanol. The developed materials are electrochemically characterized by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Chronoamperometry (CA) and Potentiodynamic polarization tests. The results confirm that the high current is due to their enhanced catalytic properties viz. high exchange current density (i₀), low polarization resistance (R_p) and low impedance. It is worthwhile to mention here that the addition of CeO₂ to Ni-Cu has outperformed Pt as far as the high electro catalytic properties are concerned; the exchange current density is about eight times higher than the same on Pt surface. The morphology of the electrode surface examined by SEM and FESEM exhibits that the grains are narrow and sub spherical with 3D surface, containing vacancies in between the elongated grains. The fact has enhanced more surface area for electro oxidation of the fuel, giving rise to an increase in current. Presence of Ni, CeO₂, and Cu is confirmed by the XRD and EDXS. Fuel cell fabricated with Ni-CeO₂-Cu material electrode is expected to produce clean electrical energy at cheaper rates than conventional one, using bio fuel the derived from biomass.

본 연구의 목적은 martensitic (M-NiTi), austenitic (A-NiTi) 및 thermodynamic nickel-titanium wire (T-NiTi)의 물리적 특징과 상전이 정도를 평가하는 것이다. 재료는 $0.016\;{\times}\;0.022$ inch의 M-NiTi (Nitinol Classic, NC), A-NiTi (Optimalloy, OPTI)와 T-NiTi (Neo-Sentalloy, NEO)이었으며, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), 3점굽힘실험, X-ray diffraction (XRD), 미세구조 분석을 시행하였으며, ANOVA test로 통계처리하였다. DSC분석 결과 OPTI와 NEO는 heating curve에서 2개의 peak, cooling curve에서 1개의 peak를 보였고, NC는 heating과 cooling curve에서 1개의 넓고 약한 peak를 보였다. Austenite finishing ($A_f$) 온도는 OPTI $19.7^{\circ}C$, NEO $24.6^{\circ}C$, NC $52.4^{\circ}C$였다. 3점굽힘실험 결과 NC, OPTI, NEO 모두 residual deflection을 보였으며, NC와 OPTI의 load range가 NEO보다 컸다. XRD와 미세구조 분석결과 OPTI와 NEO는 Martensite finishing ($M_f$)에서 martensite와 austenite가 섞여 있음이 관찰되었다. NEO와 OPTI는 NC보다 개선된 물리적 특징과 상전이 행태를 보였다. NiTi 호선의 물리적, 온도에 따른 행태는 예상되었던 상전이 정도에 의해 완벽하게 설명되지 않았으며, 그 이유는 복잡한 martensite variants의 존재와 열과 stress에 의해 유도된 독립적인 상전이에 기인한다고 생각된다.

Potential energy curves and internuclear (M-X) distance variations for dissociation reactions of $[MX_4]^{2-}$ into ($[MX_3]^-$ + $X^-$) have been calculated using ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF), second order M$\ddot{o}$ller-Plesset perturbation (MP2), and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods with a triple zeta plus polarization (TZP) basis set. The equilibrium geometrical structures of $[MX_4]^{2-}$ are optimized to tetrahedral geometry for $[NiX_4]^{2-}$ and square planar geometry for ($[PdX_4]^{2-}$ and $[PtX_4]^{2-}$). The bond (M-X) distances of $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$, $[NiBr_4]^{2-}$, $[PdCl_4]^{2-}$, $[PdBr_4]^{2-}$, $[PtCl_4]^{2-}$, and $[PtBr_4]^{2-}$ at the DFT level are 2.258, 2.332, 2.351, 2.476, 2.367, and 2.493 $\AA$, respectively. The dissociation energies for the bond dissociation of ($[MX_3]^-$${\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}$$X^-$) at the DFT level are found to be 4.73 eV for $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$, 4.89 eV for $[NiBr_4]^{2-}$, 4.93 eV for $[PdCl_4]^{2-}$, 5.57 eV for $[PdBr_4]^{2-}$, 5.44 eV for $[PtCl_4]^{2-}$, and 5.87 eV for $[PtBr_4]^{2-}$. As the (M${\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}$X) distance of ($[MX_3]^-$${\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}$$X^-$) increases, the distance variation (Rt) of trans (M-X) bond at the trans-position is shorter than those (Rc) of two cis (M-X) bonds at the cisposition. Simultaneously the atomic charge variation of trans-X atom is more positive than those of equilibrium $[MX_4]^{2-}$ structures, while the variation of leaving X group is more positive.

This work was carried out to improve the performance of anodic electrocatalysts in direct ethanol fuel cell(DEFC). PtRu and $Pt_5Ru_4M$(M= Ni, Sn, Mo and W) electrocatalysts were prepared by using a $NaBH_4$ reduction method. Alloy crystal structure and particle size of electrocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The XRD analysis of the electrocatalysts revealed that the face-centered cubic(fcc) peaks shifted to slightly higher diffraction angles when third metals were added. Average size of the uniform particles was observed to be approximately $3{\sim}3.5\;nm$ from the TEM image. The electrochemical measurements were carried out in the solution 1M $H_2SO_4$ and 1M $C_2H_5OH$ at room temperature. Cyclic-voltammogram results showed that $Pt_5Ru_4W$ electrocatalyst exhibited much higher current density for ethanol oxidation of $2.73\;mA/cm^2$ than PtRu electrocatalyst of $0.73\;mA/cm^2$.

20nm이하의 얇은 박막에서도 높은 보자력이 요구되는 Ti/CoCrPt 수직자기기록박막의 보자력 향상을 위해 Al, Cu, Ni, Cr, Ag, Mg, Fe, Co, Pd, Au, Pt, Mo, Hf등의 여러 하지층과 제조조건이 보자력에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다 이들 중 Ag과 Mg하지층은 Ti/CoCrPt박막의 보자력을 향상시켰으며 특히 2nm Ag 하지층을 사용할 경우 10nm CoCrPt 박막에서 2200 Oe의 높은 보자력을 보일뿐 아니라 $\alpha$값을 낮추는 효과가 있었다. 그러나 Ag를 하지층으로 사용하면 기대와는 달리 Ti(002)면의 우선배향 성장이 전혀 일어나지 않아 보자력 증대에 다른 기구가 작용하는 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 표면의 거칠기가 큰 기판에서는 보자력뿐만 아니라 역자구생성자계도 감소하였다.

0.2 mo1% La doped BaTiO3 samples were prepared by a wet chemical process (Pechini process) and electrical conductivity were measured from annealing temperatures(800-110$0^{\circ}C$) to room temperature continuously. 2 probe I-V characteristics showed that Pt electrodes were non-ohmic below about 80$0^{\circ}C$ for Ladoped sample. I-V curves showed varistor behavior and breakdown voltages showed PTC-like behavior. AC complex impedance of 0.2 La and 0.05 Mn mo1% doped BaTiO3 samples with three different electrodes (electroless Ni, Pt, Ag electrodes) were measured with temperature variation. Complex impedance plots showed that the samples with electroless Ni electrodes have negligible electrode resistance. Samples with Ag or Pt paste electrodes showed large electrode resistance. PTC effect, which is defined as the ratio of maximum resistance to minimum resistance, was found to be less than 10 for 0.2 mo1% La doped dense sample however greater than 105 with codoping of 0.05 mo1% Mn and 0.2 mol% La.
