Zeolite HY is wet impregnated with Ni (0.1, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 wt%), Pt (0.1 wt%) and reduced in presence of hydrogen to form nanosized particles of Ni and Pt. All the catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM, ESCA, NH₃-TPD, Pyridine adsorbed FT-IR and BET. Characterization results confirm that the Ni and Pt fractions effectively rehabilitated the physio-chemical properties of the zeolite HY catalysts. Further, all the reduced catalyst were screened with hydroisomerization of m-xylene at LHSV = 2.0 h^-1 in the temperature range 250-400 ℃ in steps of 50 ℃ in hydrogen atmosphere (20 ml/g). The addition of Ni to Pt catalyst increases hydroisomerization conversion, as well as maximizes p-xylene selectivity by restricting the pore size. The increasing trend in activity continues up to 0.3 wt% of Ni and 0.1 wt% Pt addition over zeolite HY. The increasing addition of Ni increases the total number of active metallic sites to exposed, which increases the metallic sites/acid sites ratio towards the optimum value for these reactions by better balance of synergic effect for stable activity. The rate of deactivation is pronounced on monometallic catalysts. The results confirm the threshold Ni addition is highly suitable for hydroisomerization reaction for product selectivity over Ni-Pt bimetallic/support catalysts.

Activity of manganese oxide supported on ${\nu}-Al_2O_3$ was increased when cerium was added. Also, cerium-added manganese oxide on ${\nu}-Al_2O_3$ was more effective in oxidation of toluene than that without cerium. XRD result, it was observed that $MnO_2+CeO_2$ crystalline phases were present in the samples. For the used catalyst, a prominent feature has increased by XPS. TPR/TPO profiles of cerium-added manganese oxide on ${\nu}-Al_2O_3$ changed significantly increased at a lower temperature. The activity of $18.2 wt{\%}\;Mn+ 10.0 wt{\%}\;Ce/{\nu}-Al_2O_3$ increased at a lower temperature. The cerium added on the manganese catalysts has effects on the oxidation of toluene.

Combined temperature programmed reaction (TPR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopic studies for Fischer- Tropsch reaction have been performed over Ru/SiO2 and Ru-Ag/SiO2 supported catalysts. Reaction of linearly absorbed CO with hydrogen starts at 375 K over Ru/SiO2 catalyst and reaches maximum at 420 K accompanied with an intensity decrease of linear CO absorption. The reaction with bridged absorbed CO peaks around 510-535 K. Addition of Ag yields mixed Ru-Ag bimetallic sites while it suppresses the formation of bridged bonded CO. Formation of methane on this modified surface occurs at 390 K and reaches maximum at 444 K. Suppression of hydrogen on the Ag-doped surface also occurs resulting in the formation of unsaturated hydrocarbons and of CHx intermediates not observed with Ru/SiO2 catalyst. Such intermediates are believed to be the building blocks of higher hydrocarbons during the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Linearly absorbed CO is found to be more reactive as compared to bridged CO. The Ag-modified surface also produces CO2 and carbon. On this surface, hydrogenation of CO begins at 390 K and reaches maximum at 494 K. The high temperature for hydrogenation of absorbed CO and C over Ru-Ag/SiO2 catalyst as compared to Ru/SiO2 catalyst is due to the formation of Ru-Ag bimetallic surfaces impeding hydrogen adsorption.

Among the combination of 4 different second metals and 3 different noble metals, Ni 10%-Pd 1%/hematite (Ni(10)-Pd(1)/H) showed best tetrachloroethylene (PCE) removal (75.8%) and production of non-toxic products (39.8%) in closed batch reactors under an anaerobic condition. The effect of environmental factors (pH, contents of Ni and Pd in catalyst, and hydrogen gas concentration) on the reductive dechlorination of PCE by Pd-Ni/hematite catalysts was investigated. PCE was degraded less at the condition of Ni(5)/H (13.7%) than at the same condition with Ni(10)/H (20.6%). Removals of PCE were rarely influenced by the experimental condition of different Pd amounts (Pd(1)/H and Pd(3)/H). Acidic to neutral pH conditions were favorable to the degradation of PCE, compared to the alkaline condition (pH 10). Increasing Ni contents from 1 to 10% increased the PCE removal to 89.8% in 6 hr. However, the removal decreased to 74.2% at Ni content of 20%. Meanwhile, increasing Pd contents to 6% showed no difference in PCE removal at Pd content of more than 1%. Increasing H2 concentration increased the removal of PCE until 4% H2 which was maximumly applied in this study. Chlorinated products such as trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride were not observed while PCE was transformed to acetylene (24%), ethylene (5%), and ethane (11%) by Ni(10)-Pd(1)/H catalyst in 6hr.

This study has been focused on the partial oxidation(POX) of n-octane over Rh-containing catalysts supported on alumina. The catalysts for this reaction were prepared by incipient wetness(IW) and co-gel(CG) methods, followed by the calcination at $900{\circ}C$ or $1,200{\circ}C$. When applied to the POX of n-octane carried out at $600{\circ}C$ with C/O=3 and GHSV=3,450/h, the catalyst prepared by the CG method and calcined at $1,200{\circ}C$ showed the best activity, yielding 42% syngas($H_2$+CO) with the $H_2$/CO ratio of $2{\sim}2.4$. To enhance the activity and stability of catalysts, bimetallic catalysts were synthesized by the CG method. As a result, the performance of Rh-Ni/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was superior to that of Rh/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst in terms of the catalyst stability, due to the retarding effect on the Rh-to-$Rh_2O_3$ transition by the addition of Ni. This result was confirmed by XRD, TEM, and TPR characterizations.

순수한 아나타제 구조로 이루어진 DT51D $TiO_2$에 $CrO_x,\;FeO_x,\;MnO_x,\;LaO_x,\;CoO_x,\;NiO_x,\;CeO_x,\;CuO_x$와 같은 단일 산화물 촉매를 각각 5 wt.% 담지하여 모델반응으로 선택한 기상 TCE 제거반응을 수행하였으며, 이로부터 얻어진 결과를 바탕으로 $CrO_x/TiO_2$-based 복합 산화물 촉매상에서 TCE 산화반응을 연구함으로써 유해 중금속의 사용량을 최소화하기 위한 최적의 촉매 디자인 방법을 도출하고자 하였다. DT51D $TiO_2$에 담지된 여러 단일 금속 산화물들 중에서 기상 TCE 제거반응에 대하여 $CrO_x$가 가장 우수한 촉매활성을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 반응온도의 함수로 얻어진 TCE 제거반응의 활성은 $CrO_x$의 담지량에 의존하였다. 5 wt.% $CrO_x$-based 복합 산화물 촉매는 10 wt.% $CrO_x$만으로 이루어진 단일 산화물 촉매와 거의 동일한 수준의 TCE 제거반응 활성을 보였을 뿐만 아니라 이 복합 산화물 촉매들은 10 wt.% $CoO_x,\;MnO_x,\;FeO_x,\;NiO_x$ 등과 같은 단일 산화물 촉매들보다 높은 반응활성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 단일 산화물 촉매의 반응활성과 비교하였을 때 5 wt.% $CrO_x$-based 복합 산화물 촉매상에서 TCE 제거반응 동안에 얻어지는 반응활성의 증가 정도는 $420^{\circ}C$ 이하의 반응온도 기준으로 약 $10{\sim}80%$ 이상이었다. 따라서, CVOCs 제거반응을 위하여 널리 사용되고 있는 단일 $CrO_x/Al_2O_3$ 촉매보다는 $CrO_x$의 사용량을 최소화하면서도 우수한 반응활성을 얻을 수 있는 $CrO_x/TiO_2$-based복합 산화물 촉매가 보다 바람직하며 하나의 대안적인 촉매 디자인 방법으로 응용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, Ni, Ni-Cu and Ni/Cu catalysts were deposited onto C-fiber textiles via the electrophoretic deposition method, and the growth characteristics of carbon nanofibers on the deposited catalyst/C-fiber textiles were investigated. The catalyst deposition onto C-fiber textiles was accomplished by immersing the C-fiber textiles into Ni or Ni-Cu mixed solutions, producing the substrate by post-deposition of Ni onto C-fiber textiles with pre-deposited Cu, and passing it through a gas mixture of $N_2$, $H_2$ and $C_2H_4$ at $700^{\circ}C$ to synthesize carbon nanofibers. For analysis of the characteristics of the synthesized carbon nanofibers and the deposition pattern of catalysts, SEM, EDS, BET, XRD, Raman and XPS analysis were conducted. It was found that the amount of catalyst deposited and the ratio of Ni deposition in the Ni-Cu mixed solution increased with an increasing voltage for electrophoretic deposition. In the case of post-deposition of Ni catalyst onto substrates with pre-deposited Cu, both bimetallic catalyst and carbon nanofibers with a high level of crystallizability were produced. Carbon nanofibers yielded with the catalyst prepared in Ni and Ni-Cu mixed solutions showed a Y-shaped morphology.

Controlled electrodeposition of dendritic nano-structured gold-platinum (AuPt) alloy onto an electrochemically pretreated carbon paper substrate was conducted in an attempt to improve catalyst utilization and to secure an electronic percolation network toward formic acid (FA) fuel cell application. The AuPt catalysts were obtained by potentiostatic deposition. AuPt catalysts synthesized as bimetallic alloys with 60% Au content exhibited the highest catalytic activity towards formic acid electro-oxidation. The origin of this high activity and the role of Au were evaluated, in particular, by XPS analysis. Polarization and stability measurements with 1 mg $cm^{-2}$ AuPt catalyst (only 0.4 mg $cm^{-2}$ Pt) showed 52 mW $cm^{-2}$ and sustainable performance using 3M formic acid and dry air at $40^{\circ}C$.
