Hydrogen is known to be a clean fuel which does not generate a green house gas during the combustion. However, about 8 kg of carbon dioxide is generated during the course of producing 1 kg of hydrogen through reforming, water gas shift reaction and pressure swing adsorption in order to obtain a high purity hydrogen over 99.999% by volume. In this work, carbon dioxide generation is estimated according to four kinds of natural gas compositions supplied by Korea Gas Corporation and regarding natural gas as pure methane. For the simulation of the modeling, PRO/II with PROVISION V10.2 at AVEVA was utilized and Peng-Robinson equation of state with Twu's alpha function was selected.

In order to introduce the hydrogen economy and increase supply, research in the field of hydrogen production is being actively conducted. Among the hydrogen production methods, the method of steam reforming from natural gas and producing it currently accounts for about 50% of the global hydrogen production. In the method of steam reforming process, hydrogen can be produced by adding a reformer to an existing natural gas supply pipe. Because of these advantages, it is evaluated as a realistic production method at present in Korea, where the city gas supply chain is well established. But there is concern in that it is highly likely to be installed in downtown areas and residential spaces. In this study, the risk of the process of steam reforming to produce hydrogen was reviewed.

이산화주석은 Rutile 구조를 갖는 Oxygen-Deficient n-type 반도체 물질로서, $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$ 등의 가스 분자가 표면에 흡착되면 전기저항이 변하는 특성을 가지고 있고, 이러한 성질을 활용하면 다양한 가스의 감지가 가능하기 때문에 가스센서로 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 나노구조물의 경우 Bulk 상태보다 체적 대비 표면적비가 높기 때문에 기체의 흡착이 유리하고, 가스 센서의 성능이 향상될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Thermal CVD 공정을 이용하여 SnO Nanoplatelet을 Si 기판위에 Dense하게 성장시켰다. 기상 수송 방법(Vapor Transport Method)으로 성장된 SnO 나노구조물을 Thermal CVD System을 이용하여 산소분위기에서 $830^{\circ}C$ 및 $1030^{\circ}C$에서 열처리(Post-Annealing)하여 $SnO_2$ 상(Phase)을 갖도록 하였다. 열처리 과정동안 쳄버의 압력을 4.2 Torr로 일정하게 유지시켰다. 열처리 된 SnO 나노구조물의 결정학적 특성을 Raman Spectroscopy 및 XRD 분석을 통하여 확인하였고, 형태학적 변화를 주사전사현미경(Scanning Electron Microscopy)을 통하여 확인하였다. 분석결과 SnO 나노구조물은 열처리 과정을 통하여 $SnO_2$ 나노구조물로 상변환 되었다.
