Constructing and making highly active and stable nanostructured Pt-based catalysts with ultralow Pt loading are still electrifying for electrochemical applications such as water electrolysis and fuel cells. In this study, MoO₃ ribbons (RBs) of few micrometer in length is successfully synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis. Subsequently, 3-dimentional (3D)-silicate layer for about 10 to 15 nm is introduced via chemical deposition onto the pre-formed MoO₃ RBs; to setup the platform for Pt metaldots (MDs) deposition. In comparison with the bare MoO₃ RBs, the MoO₃-Si has served as a efficient solid-support for stabilizing and accommodating the uniform deposition of sub-2 nm Pt MDs. Such a structural design would effectively assist in improving the electronic conductivity of a fabricated MoO₃-Si-Pt catalyst towards MOR; the interfaced, porous and 3D silicate layer has assisted in an efficient mass transport and quenching the poisonous CO_ads species leading to a significant electrocatalytic performance for MOR in alkaline medium. Uniformly decorated, sub-2 nm sized Pt MDs has synergistically oxidized the MeOH in association with the MoO₃-Si solid-support hence, synergistic catalytic activity has been achieved. Present facile approach can be extended for fabricating variety of highly efficient Metal Oxide-Metal Nanocomposite for energy harvesting applications.

The characteristics of Brown gas was experimentally studied in view of efficiency and flame propagation. For this study, the Brown gas stack with 7 cells was manufactured following the Brown gas related patents and reports. All measuring equipments were re-tested and calibrated by Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) certified laboratories. Since the amount of produced gas is most crucial in determining the efficiency, we adopted two gas collecting methods such as bottle trap method and wet gas meter method. The energy efficiency of our own fabricated stack was measured to be 75%, which is comparable to general alkaline water electrolysis efficiency. In order to analyze the flame propagation characteristics of Brown gas, we measured the flame propagation pressure, velocity, and shape by using strain type pressure sensor, optical sensor, and high speed camera in conjunction with Schliren system, respectively. From the experimental results, it was found that the flame propagation behavior of Brown gas was almost the same as that of hydrogen and oxygen mixture gas in 2:1 molar ratio. Moreover, from the high speed camera analysis, we concluded that Brown gas flame exhibits explosion behavior as does mixture gas ($H_{2}:O_{2}=2:1$).

선박의 평형수처리장치 전해조 내부 용액은 해수를 전기분해 시 DSA(Dimension Stable Anode) 전극에서 생성되는 수산화물로 인하여 높은 알칼리성 분위기를 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 평형수처리장치 배관에 사용되어지는 PE 코팅 강관 배관의 취약성을 대체 가능한 복합재료로써 4가지 소재를 선정하였으며, 이들 BRE(Basalt fiber reinforced epoxy), BRP(Basalt fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester), GRE(Glass fiber reinforced epoxy), GRP(Glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester)를 강 알칼리성 NaOH 용액에 720시간 침지 후 마찰 및 마모 시험을 통하여 재료 마찰 깊이에 따른 마찰계수와 섬유와 수지 간 계면 결합 거동을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수지와 섬유 간의 게면 분리 현상에 대한 메커니즘을 도출하였다. 또한, 불포화폴리에스테르와 같이 상대적으로 낮은 계면 결합력의 갖는 소재의 경우, 알칼리성 용액에 침지 시간이 길어질수록 표면에서부터 시작된 열화가 내부로 급격하게 확산되어 마찰 계수의 감소로 이어지는 경향을 나타냈다.
