디젤엔진에 적합한 환경 친화적 연료로 평가받고 있는 디메틸에테르(DME)를 기존의 메탄올 탈수화에 의한 간접법 대신 합성 가스로부터 직접 합성법으로 제조하였다. 합성가스에서 메탄올을 합성하는 경우에 비해 화학 평형 상의 이점 때문에 DME를 합성하는 것이 경제적이며 이는 실험 결과와 일치하였다. 기상 반응기에서 메탄올 탈수촉매의 부가에 의한 메탄올 환산 생산량은 메탄올 합성촉매에 의한 생산량에 비해 두 배 이상의 증가를 보인다. 메탄올 탈수촉매를 Cu로 개질한 효과는 없었으며, 메탄올 탈수촉매로서 순수 감마알루미나가 가장 우수한 반응성을 보였다. 반응 조건이 25$0^{\circ}C$, 30atm일 때 고려된 GHSV 범위에서 촉매 적정 혼합비는 7:3, 합성 가스의 조성비는 $H_2$/CO=1일 때 가장 좋은 선택도와 수율을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서는 대기압 플라즈마의 처리 조건에 따른 ITO 필름의 접착력 향상을 위한 접촉각 및 표면에너지의 변화를 관찰하였다. 대기압 플라즈마의 처리 변수로는 반응 가스, 처리 속도 방전 전압 및 시료와 플라즈마 헤드 사이의 방전 캡이며, 측정된 접촉각을 이용하여 ITO 필름의 표면을 분석하였다. 그 결과는 방전 전압이 증가할수록 접촉각은 낮아졌으며, 시료와 플라즈마 헤드 사이의 방전 간격은 2.5[mm]에서 접촉각이 낮게 나타나 ITO 필름의 접착력 향상을 위한 친수성 물질로 표면 개질됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigated operating characteristics of the LNG burner for steam methane reforming. The developed LNG burner and catalytic reactor to supply an efficient heat transfer between the combustion gas and catalyst got a good response of various operating load within 5-7 minute and high efficiency for steam methane reforming as a conversion of methane over 90%. We calculated the volume of catalyst for $1Nm^3/hr$ steam LNG reforming as $211cc/(Nm^3/hr\;H_2)$ and got the operating condition and design data of the burner and steam reforming for LNG.

There are several methods for the hydrogen production such as steam reforming of natural gas, photochemical method, biological method, electrolysis and thermochemical method, etc. These days it has been widely studied for the hydrogen production method having low hydrogen production cost and high efficiency. In this paper, patents in the hydrogen production by steam reforming of natural gas were gathered and analyzed. The search range was limited in the open patents of USA(US), European Union(EP), Japan(JP), and Korea(KR) from 1996 to 2006. Patents were gathered by using key-words searching and extracted by filtering criteria. The trends of the patents was analyzed by the years, countries, companies, and technologies.

Performance of PEM fuel cell systems and hybrid systems combining a PEMFC with a gas turbine have been evaluated. Two different reforming methods(steam reforming and autothermal reforming) were considered. Performances of fuel cell systems with two reforming methods were compared and effects of various design parameters on the system performance were investigated. Configurations of PEM fuel cell systems with two reforming methods have been revised to accommodate a gas turbine, resulting in PEMFC/GT hybrid systems. Performance of the hybrid systems were analyzed and compared with those of PEM systems. Influences of major design parameters on the hybrid system performance were also investigated.

Hydrogen as an energy carrier in fuel cell offers perhaps the largest potential benefits of reduced emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. The generation of high-purity hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels is essential for efficient operation of fuel cell. Reduction of carbon monoxide to an acceptable level of 10ppm involves high temperature and low temperature water gas shift (WGS), followed by selective oxidation of residual carbon monoxide. The WGS reactor was designed and tested in this study to produce hydrogen-rich gas with CO to less than 5000 ppm. In the water gas shift operation, gas emerges from the reformer is taken through a high temperature shift (HTS) catalyst to reduce the CO concentration to about $2{\sim}4%$ followed to about 5000 ppm via a low temperature shift (LTS) catalyst.

The purpose of this study is to develop a highly-efficient and compact steam reformer for PEMFC changing the burner types. For the purpose some of the Can type flat burners were adopted and the results were compared with 'O' company's typical cylinderical flat burner. We used commercial STAR-CD tools for numerical calculation. We found the optimum Can type STR burner and this type of burner was highly efficient comparing with typical burner.

Commercial polyurethane film (PU) was modified with Ar plasma ionized in dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plate-type reactor under atmospheric pressure. We measured the change of the contact angle and the surface fee energy with respect to the plasma treatment conditions such as treatment time, RF-power, and Ar gas flow rate. We also optimized the plasma treatment conditions to maximize the surface peroxide concentration. At the plasma treatment time of 70 sec, the power of 120 W and the Ar gas flow rate of 5 liter per minute (LPM), the best wettability and the highest surface fee energy were obtained. The 1,1 diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method confirmed that the surface peroxide concentration was about 2.1 nmol/$\cm^{2}$ at 80 W, 30 sec, 6 LPM.

The Because of its high thermal efficiency, the direct injection (DI) diesel engine has emerged as a promising potential candidate in the field of transportation. However, the amount of nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) increases in the local high-temperature regions and that of particulate matter (PM) increases in the diffusion flame region during diesel combustion. In the de-$NO_x$ system the Lean $NO_x$ Trap (LNT) catalyst is used, which absorbs $NO_x$ under lean exhaust gas conditions and releases it in rich conditions. This technology can provide a high $NO_x$-conversion efficiency, but the right amount of reducing agent should be supplied to the catalytic converter at the right time. In this research, the emission characteristics of a diesel engine equipped with a micro-reformer that acts as a reductants-supplying equipment were investigated using an LNT system, and the effects of the exhaust-gas temperature were also studied.

염료감응형 태양전지의 효율 향상을 위한 다양한 방법들 중 $TiO_2$ 나노 파우더의 표면 개질 및 페이스트의 분산성 향상을 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 기존 나노 파우더의 표면 개질법으로는 액상 공정인 졸겔법이 있으나 표면 처리 공정에서의 응집현상은 아직 해결해야 할 과제 중 하나이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 진공증착방법인 ALD법을 이용하여 염료감응형 태양전지용 $TiO_2$ 나노 파우더의 $SiO_2$ 산화물 표면처리를 통한 분산특성을 파악하였다. 기존 ALD법의 경우 reactor의 온도가 $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 정도의 고온에서 공정이 이루어졌지만 본 실험에서는 2차 아민계촉매(pyridine)을 사용하여 reactor의 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$정도의 저온공정에서 $SiO_2$ 산화물을 코팅을 하였다. MO source로는 액체상태의 TEOS$(Si(OC_2H_5)_4)$를, 반응가스로는 $H_2O$를 사용하였고, 불활성 기체인 Ar 가스는 purge 가스로 각각 사용 하였다. ALD 공정에 의해 표면처리 된 $TiO_2$ 나노 파우더의 분산특성은 각 공정 cycle에 따라 FESEM을 통하여 입자의 형상 및 분산성을 확인하였으며 입도 분석기를 통하여 부피의 변화 및 분산 특성을 확인하였다. 공정 cycle 이 증가함에 따라 입자간의 응집현상이 개선되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 100cycles에서 응집현상이 가장 많이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 표면 처리된 $SiO_2$ 산화막은 XRD를 통한 결정 분석 및 EDX를 통한 정성 분석을 통하여 확인하였다.
