WGS reaction over Mo2C and ceria based catalysts was investigated to develop an alternative commercial Cu-Zn/Al2O3 catalyst for fuel processor and hydrogen station. The Mo2C catalysts were prepared by a temperature programmed method and the various metal supported cerium oxide catalysts were prepared by an Impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by the N2 physisorption, Co chemisorption, XRD, TEM and TPR. It was found that Mo2C and 0.2wt% Pt-40wt%, Ni/CeO2 catalysts had higher activity and stability than the Cu-Zn/Al203 above $260^{\circ}C$. Moreover, CO conversion of more than 85% was observed at $280{\sim}300^{\circ}C$. But all catalysts were deactivated during the thermal cycling runs. The results suggest that these catalysts are an attractive candidate for the alternative Cu-Zn/Al2O3 catalyst for fuel processor and hydrogen station applications.

In this study, feedback logic using dual O₂ sensor values were developed to increase the purification capability of a three-way catalyst (TWC) in a compressed natural gas (CNG) engine. A heavy-duty inline 6-cylinder engine was used and the CNG was supplied to the engine through a mixer. This study consists of two main parts, namely, the proportional integral (PI) control with a front O₂ sensor and the feedback control with dual O₂ sensors. In the PI control experiment, effects of various parameters, such as P gain, I gain, and lean delay, on the TWC capability were identified. Based on the results of the PI control experiment, the feedback logic using dual O₂ sensor values were developed. In both cases, the nitrogen oxides (NO_X) emissions were nearly zero. However, the carbon monoxide (CO) emissions were reduced significant in the feedback logic with dual O₂ sensors than in the PI control with the front O₂ sensor.

Naphtha cracking bottom oil was reformed with heat treatment and then spun at $310^{\circ}C$. These pitch-based carbon fibers were carbonized at $1000^{\circ}C$ after oxidation at $280^{\circ}C$, for 90 min. These fibers were chemically activated with molar ratio of KOH/CF (1 : 1) at different temperatures ($250{\sim}900^{\circ}C$) for 1 hr. The process of activation was characterized with DTA, TGA, BET surface area and pore size distribution. The activation of fibers by KOH was performed by several process. One is the reduction process that carbon fiber was reacted with $K_2O$ produced from dehydration process above $400^{\circ}C$. The other is the process that $K_2CO_3$ was directly reacted with carbon fiber. At $800^{\circ}C$, the activation was performed by catalyzed mechanism that $K_2O$ was obtained from the reaction of metal potassium with $CO_2$, then was changed to $K_2CO_3$. At $870^{\circ}C$, the activation was also observed that activation mechanism was promoted by metal catalyst with $CO_2$ from decomposition of $K_2CO_3$. The specific surface area of prepared activated carbon fibers was dependent on the activation mechanism. The specific surface area was in the range of $1519{\sim}2000\;cm^3/g$ and was the largest prepared at $870^{\circ}C$. The pores developed were mostly micropores which was very narrow and uniform. The total pore volume was $0.58{\sim}0.77\;cm^3/g$.

DME is acronym of dimethyl ether, which is spotlighted as an ideal fuel to produce hydrogen due to its high hydrogen/carbon ratio, high energy density and easiness to carry. In this research, we calculated thermodynamic hydrogen (or syngas) yield from DME autothermal reforming and compared to other fuels. The reforming efficiency was about 80% above $700^{\circ}C$. Lower OCR has higher reforming efficiency but, it requires additional heat supply since the reactions are endothermic. SCR has no significant effect on the reforming efficiency. The optimized condition is $700^{\circ}C$, SCR 1.5, OCR 0.45 without additional heat supply. Comparing to other commercial gaseous fuels (methane and propane), DME has higher selectivity of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ than the others due to the oxygen atom in the molecule. To apply DME autothermal reforming to real system, a proper catalyst is required. Therefore, it is performed the experiment comparing various novel metal catalysts based on CGO. Experiments were performed at calculated condition. The composition of product was measured and reforming efficiency was calculated. The catalysts have similar efficiency at high temperature(${\sim}800^{\circ}C$) but, CGO-Ru has the highest efficiency at low temperature ($600^{\circ}C$).

This paper describes the fabrication and characterization of graphene based carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) gas sensors. Graphene was synthesized by thermal decomposition of SiC. The resistivity $CO_2$ gas sensors were fabricated by pure graphene and graphene decorated Au nanoparticles (NPs). The Au NPs with size of 10 nm were decorated on graphene. Au electrode deposited on the graphene showed Ohmic contact and the sensors resistance changed following to various $CO_2$ concentrations. Resulting in resistance sensor using pure graphene can detect minimum of 100 ppm $CO_2$ concentration at $50^{\circ}C$, whereas Au/graphene can detect minimum 2 ppm $CO_2$ concentration at same at $50^{\circ}C$. Moreover, Au NPs catalyst improved the sensitivity of the graphene based $CO_2$ sensors. The responses of pure graphene and Au/graphene are 0.04% and 0.24%, respectively, at $50^{\circ}C$ with 500 ppm $CO_2$ concentration. The optimum working temperature of $CO_2$ sensors is at $75^{\circ}C$.

We report the development of a room-temperature hydrogen ($H_2$) gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) yarn. To detect $H_2$ gas in room temperature, a highly ordered CNT yarn was placed on a substrate from a spin-capable CNT forest, followed by the deposition of a platinum (Pt) layer on surface of the CNT yarn. To examine the effect of the Pt-layer on the response of the CNT sensor, a comparative sensing performance was characterized on both the Pt deposited and non-deposited CNT yarn at room temperature. The Pt-CNT yarn yielded high response, whereas the non-deposited CNT yarn showed negligible response for $H_2$ detection at room temperature. Pt is a reliable and efficient catalyst that can substantially improve the detection of $H_2$ gas by chemical sensitization via a "spillover" effect. It can be efficiently utilized to increase the sensitivity and selectivity as well as to obtain fast response and recovery times.

카본블랙을 이용한 프로판 분해는 메탄보다 분해가 용이하여 효과적인 수소생산방법으로 알려졌다. 특히, 프로판 직접 분해 반응에 의한 수소생산은 CO나 $CO_2$와 같은 부산물이 생성되지 않으므로 환경친화적인 수소 생산기술이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 상용화되어 시판되고 있는 활성탄 및 카본블랙을 탄소계 촉매로 사용하여 프로판 직접 분해반응특성을 조사하였다. 프로판의 직접 분해반응은 대기압 하, $500{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$ 온도영역에서 실험이 수행되었으며, 프로판 분해반응에 의한 생성물로 수소뿐만 아니라 메탄, 에틸렌, 에탄, 프로필렌 등의 부산물의 생성이 확인되었다. 이러한 부산물들은 고온으로 갈수록 줄어들어 상대적으로 수소 수율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 다양한 상용촉매를 프로판 분해 반응에 적용하여 본 결과로서 DCC N330을 촉매로 이용하였을 경우, $750^{\circ}C$에서 22.47％의 수소 수율을 얻었다.
