본 연구는 자외선 영역의 흡수로 전자 정공의 전하쌍을 생성함으로써 광전압 및 전류를 일으키는 티타니아 물질을 금속지지체 표면에 양극산화로 튜브형 $TiO_2$(anodized tubular $TiO_2$; ATT)로 제조한 후 나노크기의 금속 혹은 $WO_3$입자를 담지하여 광감응 재료로 활용하였다. 이는 기존의 입자나 콜로이드 형태로 광촉매 물질을 고정화하여 사용한 재료의 탈리현상 및 효율저하를 극복하기 위함이다. ATT는 전해질 내에 전기화학적 에칭율과 화학적 용해율의 비율에 의해 나노튜브 길이 성장에 영향을 미치는데 이를 유기 전해질과 불산 전해질을 사용하여 정전압 혹은 정전류의 조건에서 다양한 길이의 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브를 제조하였다. 여기에 전기분해담지(electrolytic deposition; ELD)를 통하여 정전류 조건에서 다양한 금속(Pt, Pd, Ru)을 나노크기의 형태로 담지하여 광촉매 내 생성된 전자 정공의 재결합을 줄이고자 하였고 $WO_3$의 담지를 통하여 가시광 감응을 높이고자 하였다. 제조된 여러 조건의 시료는 SEM과 EDAX를 통하여 형태와 길이, 담지량을 확인 하고 XRD를 이용하여 열처리 온도에 따른 결정화상태를 확인하였으며 광전류 측정 및 Cr(VI)의 광환원과 MB의 광분해를 통하여 광효율을 관찰하였다. 금속이 도핑되었을 경우 순수 ATT보다 보통 3배의 흡착률과 UV광원 아래 2배의 광효율을 관찰할 수 있었는데 이 중 Pt의 담지가 가장 효율이 좋았으며 흡착률에서는 담지량의 증가에 따른 증가선을 관찰 할 수 있었으나 광원 사용시 3%담지율에서 최적을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 $TiO_2$외 가시광감응 활성을 높이기 위한 다양한 광촉매제조가 진행 중에 있다.

In photocatalytic reaction, the doping of metal matter can alter the titania surface properties. As such the metal matter can increase the rate of the reaction. The influence of metal doping and calcination condition of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst was investigated at the batch-type photoreactor. Several metal matters were doped to the $TiO_2$ catalyst to improve photodegradation efficiency. During the experiments, water content was 3wt%, and reactor temperature was $40^{\circ}C$. Palladium-doped $TiO_2$ was found to be the best, where as platinum or tungsten-added also showed good results. Additional doping of platinum or tungsten on Pd/$TiO_2$ had no increase on the removal efficiency. To obtain proper calcination condition, various experiments about calcination temperature and time were carried out. As a result, the optimum calcination condition was temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, time of 1 hour.

A basic objective is the preparation and surface studies of supported molten salt catalysts because molten salts can stay as the liquid phase in the range of the ordinary reaction temperature. Many kinds of metal salt mixtures for the formation of molten salt phase are appliable but CuCl and KCl were selected in this study because Cu is considered catalytically reactive in many reactons. The loading of the molten salt was selected as 25 vol% of the total pore volume of ${\gamma}-alumina$ to provide reasonable exposed surface area. The surface structure of catalysts containing molten salts in the ${\gamma}-alumina$ was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). CuCl and KCl were added into the ${\gamma}-alumina$ using concentrated hydrochloric acid solution by the impregnation technique. The surfaces of the prepared catalysts before and after heat treatments were compared and they suggested that the heat treatment of catalysts helped the formation of molten-salt although the surface compositions of CuCl and KCl were not uniform.

Oak wood based activated carbon was modified with surface impregnation of $Fe^{3+}$ and $Al^{3+}$ metal ions mixture for enhancements of phosphate adsorption capacity in aqueous solution. The phosphate adsorption capacity of the prepared metal impregnated carbon (MC) was about 8 times higher than that of the original activated carbon (OC). Adsorption equilibrium capacities of the phosphate increased with increasing system temperature. The adsorption equilibrium isotherm of phosphate on the prepared MC could be represented by the Langmuir equation. Thermodynamic parameters also indicated that adsorption system was spontaneous and endothermic reaction. The internal diffusion coefficient was measured to analyze the adsorption behavior and kinetic rate. To determine the internal diffusion coefficient, pore diffusion model (PDM) was employed and the result was in good agreement with experimental data.

In this study HDS(hydrodesulfurization) of thiophene was researched over nickel catalysts added with small amounts of neodymium which were prepared by different methods such as unsupported coprepricipitated NdNi catalysts, unsupported intermetallic $NdNi_5$ catalysts, and carbon supported NdNi catalyst. The HDS activity was remarkably increased when a small amounts of neodymium was added to unsupported coprecipitated Ni catalysts. Thus it was known that the role of Nd is important in HDS of thiophene of Ni catalysts. For the case of unsupported intermetallic $NdNi_5$, the intermetallic crystallinity was destroyed to oxide and sulfide after calcination and presulfidation respectively. The HDS activity of thiophene can be explained by surface area of unsupported catalysts. And Nd acts like as structural promoter keeping the high surface area of unsupported catalysts. The HDS activity was increased by each ten times based on 1 gr. of nickel in the order of unsupported intermetallic $NdNi_5$, unsupported coprecipitated NdNi, and carbon supported NdNi catalysts according to different preparation method of catalysts.

In this study, two different methods were studied to prepare Pt-Pd catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells in order to enhance the electrochemical efficiency. The catalysts were compared with simultaneously deposited Pt-Pd and sequentially deposited Pt-Pd. The electrocatalysts contained 20 wt% of metal loading on carbon black and 1 : 2 of Pt : Pd atomic ratio. Electrochemical properties of the catalysts were compared by measuring cyclic voltammetries and average sizes and lattice parameters were measured by transmission electron microscopy images and x-ray diffraction. As a result, sequentially deposited Pt-Pd/C catalysts showed better electrochemical properties than those of simultaneously deposited Pt-Pd/C catalysts.

본 연구에서는 양극산화된 $TiO_2$ 전극(anodized tubular $TiO_2$ electrode, ATTE)을 수소제조용 PEC(Photoelectrochemical)시스템에서 광어노드와 기존의 백금전극을 대체하고 $H^+$ 환원능을 향상시키기 위하여 엔자임(Pyrococcus furiosus, Pfu)을 고정화한 후 캐소드로 동시에 활용하였으며, 엔자임 고정을 위한 crosslinker 종류 및 금속담지 여부, ATTE 길이를 통한 수소발생양에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. ATTE 표면과 엔자임의 amine group의 연결을 위하여 heterobifunctional crosslinker로써 사슬 길이가 상대적으로 짧은 Sulfo-SDA가 유리하였으며, 금속담지의 경우 짧은 튜브의 경우 1% 내에서 효과가 증진되었으나 긴 튜브의 경우는 오히려 광전류 및 궁극적으로 수소발생속도에 불리하게 작용하였다. 또한, 튜브 길이가 긴 ATTE가 짧은 ATTE 보다 수소발생양에서 더욱 효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 텅스텐산화물 담지의 가시광감응에의 담지 효과는 예비 실험 결과로 나타나지 않아, 추가적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the bulk polymerizations of L-lactide were carried out with triethylaluminium (TEAL), which was supported inside of the nanopore of silica. The feed amount of TEAL in the feed, the immobilization time and temperature were changed to observe the effect of immobilization condition on the polymerization performance with the silica- supported TEAL. As the feed amount of TEAL increased, the conversion of polymerization increased. The highest molecular weight (MW) was achieved at 8 mmol/g-silica of TEAL. Hexane and toluene as solvents were employed to investigate the effect of temperature on the immobilization. Hexane showed better efficiency of immobilization TEAL and the immobilization temperature at $50^{\circ}C$ showed the highest conversion and MW.

In hydrogen production for fuel cell by reforming city-gas, sulfur compounds, odorant in city-gas, are detrimental to reforming catalyst and fuel cell electrodes. We prepared metal salt impregnated ${\beta}-zeolite(BEA)$ to remove sulfur compound in city-gas by adsorption. The sulfur breakthrough adsorption capacity was changed depending on the concentration and species of metal salt. $AgNO_3$ impregnated BEA showed the highest sulfur breakthrough capacity among adsorbents used in this experiment(41.1 mg/g). But metal salt impregnated BEA such as $Ni(NO_3)_2/BEA$, $Fe(NO_3_)_3/BEA$, $Co(NO_3)_2/BEA$ showed a certain amount of sulfur adsorption capacity comparable to $AgNO_3/BEA$. Adsorption temperature effect, desorption study, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that the dominant interaction between metal impregnated adsorbent and sulfur compounds was not chemisorption but physisorption.
