물리적 기상합성법인 부양증발가스응축법을 이용하여 분말 제조 장치 내 아르곤(Ar)가스와 메탄($CH_4$)의 비를 조정하여 니켈(Ni) 금속분말과 탄소가 니켈(Ni) 금속 표면에 코팅 된 Ni@C 나노분말을 제조하였다. 제조된 금속분말은 약 20 nm의 평균입도를 가지는 반면, 탄소막이 코팅된 경우 10 nm 정도의 평균 입도를 가지며, 2~3 nm 두께의 그라파이트 다층막(multi-shell graphite)이 표면에 코팅된 분말이 제조되었다. Ni@C는 1 T 가해준 상태에서도 자화값이 포화되지 못하였다. Ni의 경우 표면에 부동태 산화피막(NiO)이 존재한다. 제조된 나노입자를 심혈관 질환 치료제인 디하이드로미리미딘(3,4-dihydropyrimidine)의 제조시 촉매제로 반응시켰으며, 자성분말 특성을 이용하여 촉매제를 회수하였다. Ni의 경우 S-이성질체(en-antiomer)가 ${\Delta}{\sim}7.4%$ 더 생성 되었으며, Ni@C의 경우 ${\Delta}{\sim}19.6%$였다. 탄소막이 코팅 된 Ni은 재활용 시에도 3,4-DHPM 수득율(yield)이 68 %로 양호하였다.

Carbon-encapsulated Ni catalysts are synthesized by an electrical explosion of wires (EEW) method and applied for CO₂ methanation. We find that the presence of carbon shell on Ni nanoparticles as catalyst can positively affect CO₂ methanation reaction. Ni@5C that is produced under 5 % CH₄ partial pressure in Ar gas has highest conversions of 68 % at 350 ℃ and 70 % at 400 ℃, which are 73 and 75 % of the thermodynamic equilibrium conversion, respectively. The catalyst of Ni@10C with thicker carbon layer shows much reduced activity. The EEW-produced Ni catalysts with low specific surface area outperform Ni catalysts with high surface area synthesized by solution-based precipitation methods. Our finding in this study shows the possibility of utilizing carbon-encapsulated metal catalysts for heterogeneous catalysis reaction including CO₂ methanation. Furthermore, EEW, which is a highly promising method for massive production of metal nanoparticles, can be applied for various catalysis system, requiring scaled-up synthesis of catalysts.

Carbon-coated Ni, Cu and Sn nanocapsules were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a four-point probe device. All of these nanocapsules were prepared by an arc-discharge method, in which the bulk metals were evaporated under methane ($CH_4$) atmosphere. Three pure metals (Ni, Cu, Sn) were typically diverse in formation of the carbon encapsulated nanoparticles and their different mechanisms were investigated. It was indicated that a thick carbon layers formed on the surface of Ni(C) nanocapsules, whereas a thin shell of carbon with 1~2 layers covered on Cu(C) nanocapsules, and the Sn(C) nanocapsules was, in fact, a longger multi-walled carbon nanotubes partially-filled with metal Sn. As one typical magnetic/dielectric nanocomposite particles, Ni(C) nanocapsules and its counterpart of oxide-coated Ni(O) nanocapsules were compared in the electrically conductive behaviors for further applications as the electromagnetic materials.

Vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes are grown on silicon oxide substrate at 950$^{\circ}C$ by thermal chemical vapor deposition using $C_{2}H_2$. Three catalytic metals such as iron(Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel(Ni) are used as catalyst, we found that the growth rate of carbon nanotubes for three catalyst particles are in an order of Fe > Ni > Co. All carbon nanotubes are revealed to have bamboo structure with no encapsulated catalytic particles, the diameter of carbon nanotubes depend on the catalyst, the tip and the compartment sheets of bamboo structure also depend on the shape of catalytic particles.
