In this study, we investigated the effect of temperature on specific surface area and electrochemical properties when lignin-based porous carbon (LBPC) with potassium hydroxide (KOH) is activated. After preparing LBPCs using lignin-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) copolymer, which was synthesized by graft polymerizing lignin and acrylonitrile as a precursor, activated LBPCs (KA-LBPC-6, 7, 8, 9) were manufactured by activating LBPC with KOH at 600℃, 700℃, 800℃ and 900℃. To identify the surface characteristics of KA-LBPC, observations were made with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the pore characteristics were identified via specific surface area analysis. The electrochemical properties were analyzed using a three-electrode system. The experiment has shown that micropores formed by activation can be observed in SEM images. KA-LBPC-7 had the best pore characteristics among KA-LBPCs, with a specific surface area of 2480.1 m²/g, a micropore volume of 0.64 cm³/g, and a mesopore volume of 0.76 cm³/g. KA-LBPC-7 showed the best electrochemical properties with a specific capacitance of 151.3 F/g at the scan rate of 2 mV/s.

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are non-microporous materials with a high surface area ($100{\sim}200m^2/g$) and high purity. Therefore, the material has a high potential for use as catalyst support. Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) are of increasing concern with regard to the levels of toxic air pollutants emitted from high-technology industry. Rayon-based CNFs and ACFs was subjected to thermal oxidation under a wide variety of temperature and air conditions to modify the surface properties. Rayon-based CNFs and ACFs were prepared by using thermal chemistry. CNFs were synthesized at temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$ in an air atmosphere and grew with increased temperature and air conditions. After heating at $800^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr, carbonized rayon with ACFs had $2,662m^2/g$ (BET) of surface area and $1.41cm^3/g$ of pore volume. The resulting ACFs had a 99% surface area in which pore size was 10 nm or less, and a 60 % surface area in which pore size was 2 nm or less.

본 연구에서는 공냉(空冷)된 화력발전소 바닥재의 입도분포, 화학조성, 광물상 등 기초 특성과 압축강도비에 의해 포졸란 반응성을 측정하였다. 바닥재의 주요 성분은 $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3,\;Fe_2O_3$로 이들의 합계가 91.2wt.%였으며, 주요 광물상은 mullite, quartz, cristobalite, tridymite, hematie 등이었다. 입도별 화학조성 변동은 거의 없었으나, 입도가 커짐에 따라 $SiO_2$는 quartz에서 cristobalite로 존재하는 비율이 증가하였다. 분쇄된 바닥재(blame 비표면적 $7,540cm^2/g$)의 양생 28일에서의 활성도 지수는 101을 나타내었다.

This study aims to investigate the application possibility on natural gas in relation to the catalytic combustion of methane on Pd/cordierite catalyst which is currently used as an automobile converter catalyst. The surface area of the catalyst tested was determined to be about 18.7㎡/g and to keep stable condition in structure at mid-high temperatures. The activation energy for methane combustion reaction was estimated to be 19.2 kcal/mol and a hysterisis on the catalyst activity was observed in terms of the catalyst deactivation as the reaction temperature was varied for the methane combustion. On Pd/cordierite catalyst, The characteristics of methane combustion were studied as functions of space velocity and air/fuel ratios below 700$^{\circ}C$.

탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotubes)의 우수한 전기적, 물리적 특성으로 인해 트랜지스터, 태양전지, 고감도 센서, 나노 섬유, 고분자-탄소나노튜브 고기능 복합체 등 다양한 분야에서 이를 응용하려는 노력이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 흥미롭게도 탄소나노튜브는 구조적인 특성 (직경, 밀도, 벽의 수)에 따라 각기 다른 비표면적, 열 전도성, 전기 전도성, 접촉각, 전계방출 특성을 지닌다고 보고되고 있다. 따라서 다양한 분야의 응용을 위해서는 구조적인 특성 제어가 핵심적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 열화학기상증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition)을 이용하여 수직 정렬된 탄소나노튜브를 합성 하였다. 합성과정에서 압력의 변화가 탄소나노튜브의 밀도와 길이에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였고, 이러한 현상을 이해하기 위해 두 가지의 가능성을 고려하였다. 첫째는 압력의 변화에 따른 촉매의 형성 변화 가능성이며, 둘째는 탄화수소가스의 유입양의 변화에 따른 영향이다. 분석 결과, 동일한 압력에서 탄화수소가스의 부분압을 변화시켜 실험한 결과로부터 탄화수소의 유입양의 변화가 합성된 탄소나노튜브의 밀도에 큰 영향을 미치고 밀도가 높은 경우 길이가 긴 탄소나노튜브가 합성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

LaAlO3d single phase used as the butter layer on Si wafer for YBa2Cu3O7-$\delta$ superconductor application were prepared by solid state reaction method and by self-sustaining combustion process. The microstructure and crystallity of synthesiszed LaAlO3 powder studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer(XRD), specific surface area and sintering characteristics fo powder were investigated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method and dilatometer respectively. In solid state reaction method, it is difficult to obtain LaAlO3 single phase up to 150$0^{\circ}C$ period. However, in self-sustaining combustion process, it is to easy to do it only $650^{\circ}C$. Based on the results of analysis of dilatometer it is easier to obtain high sintering density (98.87%) in self-sustaining combustion process than in the solid state reaction method. This reason is that the average particle size prepared by self-sustaining combustion process is nano crystal size and has high specific surface are value(56.54 $m^2$/g) compared with that by solid state reaction method. Also, LaAlO3 layer on the Si wafer has been achieved by screen printing and sintering method. Even though the sintering temperature is 130$0^{\circ}C$, the phenomena of silicon out diffusion in LaAlO3/Si interphase are not observed.

MnO₂ was prepared by a hydrothermal process method in the range of 120-200 ℃ and 0.5-5 h, calcined at 300 ℃ after induction of precipitation using KMnO₄ and MnCl₂･4H₂O, and its catalytic activity was compared for CO oxidation. The catalysts were characterized using by X-ray diffraction, N₂-sorption, scanning electron microscopy, and temperature programmed reduction of H₂ or CO. The crystalline structure of pure α-MnO₂ or hybrid α/β-MnO₂ was controlled by the preparation conditions. The pure α-MnO₂ showed better catalytic activity and thermal stability than hybrid α/β-MnO₂. Especially, α-MnO₂ prepared at 150 ℃ for 1 h has the highest specific surface area 214 m² g^-1, reducibility and labile lattice oxygen species analyzed by H₂, CO-TPR, respectively. It also showed the best CO oxidation activity in both conditions of temperature programmed and isothermal reaction. The results came from the physicochemical properties of catalysts like the crystalline structure, specific surface area, reducibility and lattice oxygen species, and which are correlated with catalytic performance.

The nanocrystalline zirconia powder with anisotropic shapes was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of the tetragonal zirconia prepared by aging the zirconium hydroxide precipitate, which was obtained from the reaction between $ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ and KOH solutions under the fixed pH of 13.5, at $100^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. With increasing the hydrothermal reaction temperature and time, the fraction of tetragonal phase with spherical zirconia decreased, whereas, relatively the fraction of monoclinic phase with spindle-like and rod shape zirconia increased. As increased concentration of the NaOH solution it promoted the particle size to become larger and the crystalline phase to transform tetragonal to monoclinic. However, the specific surface area at the early stage of the reaction increased and subsequently decreased because of grain growth in powder with longer reaction time.

카올린에서 추출된 황산알루미늄 용액으로부터 촉매담체용 r-AI2O3분말 합성에 대하여 연구하였다. 황산알루미늄 용액을 교반중의 에탄올(ethanol)에 적하하여 단일상(single phase)의 AI2(So4)3 18H2O석출물을 제조하고 이 석출물의 하소로부터 r-AI2O3분말을 합성하였다. 이 분말을 100$0^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 하소하였을 때 열적안정성을 보였으나, 120$0^{\circ}C$-2시간 하소에서 $\alpha$-AI2O3 로 전이하였다. r-AI2O3의 열적안정성에 미치는 BaO 첨가의 영향을 조사 연구하였다. 첨가량은 r-AI2O3에 대해서 1.0-6.0wt%로 하였다. BaO를 4.0wt%첨가한 시료는 AI2O3-BaO.6AI2O3(hexa-aluminate)혼합상생성으로 인하여 120$0^{\circ}C$에서 r-AI2O3의 전이를 방지하는데 효과적이었다. BaO를 4.0wt%첨가한 시료와 BaO를 첨가하지 않은 시료에 대하여 r-AI2O3$\longrightarrow$ $\alpha$-AI2O3전이에 따른 비표면적을 조사하여 보았다. 120$0^{\circ}C$-2시간에서 BaO 4.0wt% 첨가한 시료와 BaO를 첨가하지 않은 시료의 비표면적은 각각 95$m^2$/g과 50$m^2$/g을 유지하였다.
