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.

피셔-트롭쉬 합성반응은 CO와 H2의 혼합가스로 이루어진 합성가스를 부가가치가 높은 탄화수소 제품으로 변환시킨다. 본 논문에서는 저온 피셔-트롭쉬 합성반응과 단일, 다중 마이크로채널 반응기에 패킹시킨 촉매를 기반으로 강화된 반응조건의 열전달을 고려하여 전산유체역학 기반의 시뮬레이션을 진행하고 분석하였다. 단일채널모델을 통하여 CO 전환률이 ~65% 이상, $C_{5+}$ 선택도가 ~74% 이상을 달성하면서도 Co 기반의 super-active 촉매를 통해 GHSV를 $30000hr^{-1}$을 달성할 수 있음을 보였다. 다중 마이크로채널 반응기모델에서는 열전달 시뮬레이션을 동시에 해석하여, 3가지의 다른 반응기구조에 대해서, 직교류 wall boiling 냉매를 사용시 ${\Delta}T_{max}$가 23 K였으며 평행유동 subcooled 냉매와 평행유동 wall boiling 냉매의 경우 각각 15 K와 13 K의 ${\Delta}T_{max}$를 보였다. 반응기 전체적으로 498 - 521 K에서 온도제어가 가능했으며 계산된 사슬성장 가능성은 저온 피셔-트롭쉬 합성에 적합한 것으로 보인다.

In polymer precursor based activated carbon, the structure of starting material is likely to have profound effect on the surface properties of end product. To investigate this aspect phenolic resins of different types were prepared using phenol, mcresol and formaldehyde as reactants and $Et_3N$ and $NH_4OH$ as catalyst. Out of these resins two resol resins PFR1 and CFR1 (prepared in excess of formaldehyde using $Et_3N$ as catalyst in the basic pH range) were used as raw materials for the preparation of activated carbons by both chemical and physical activation methods. In chemical activation process both the resins gave activated carbons with high surface areas i.e. 2384 and 2895 $m^2/g$, but pore size distribution in PFR1 resin calculated from Horvath-Kawazoe method, contributes mainly in micropore range i.e. 84.1~88.7 volume percent of pores was covered by micropores. Whereas CFR1 resin when activated with KOH for 2h time, a considerable amount (32.8%) of mesopores was introduced in activated carbon prepared. Physical activation with $CO_2$ leads to the formation of activated carbon with a wide range of surface area (503~1119 $m^2/g$) with both of these resins. The maximum pore volume percentage was obtained in 3-20 ${\AA}$ region by physical activation method.

Octahedral $Co_3O_4$/carbon nanofiber (CNF) composites are fabricated using electrospinning and hydrothermal methods. Their morphological characteristics, chemical bonding states, and electrochemical properties are used to demonstrate the improved photovoltaic properties of the samples. Octahedral $Co_3O_4$ grown on CNFs is based on metallic Co nanoparticles acting as seeds in the CNFs, which seeds are directly related to the high performance of DSSCs. The octahedral $Co_3O_4$/CNFs composites exhibit high photocurrent density ($12.73mA/m^2$), superb fill factor (62.1 %), and excellent power conversion efficiency (5.61 %) compared to those characteristics of commercial $Co_3O_4$, conventional CNFs, and metallic Co-seed/CNFs. These results can be described as stemmnig from the synergistic effect of the porous and graphitized matrix formed by catalytic graphitization using the metal cobalt catalyst on CNFs, which leads to an increase in the catalytic activity for the reduction of triiodide ions. Therefore, octahedral $Co_3O_4$/CNFs composites can be used as a counter electrode for Pt-free dye-sensitized solar cells.

We perform density functional theory calculations to study the CO and $O_2$ adsorption chemistry of Pt@X core@shell bimetallic nanoparticles (X = Pd, Rh, Ru, Au, or Ag). To prevent CO-poisoning of Pt nanoparticles, we introduce a Pt@X core-shell nanoparticle model that is composed of exposed surface sites of Pt and facets of X alloying element. We find that Pt@Pd, Pt@Rh, Pt@Ru, and Pt@Ag nanoparticles spatially bind CO and $O_2$, separately, on Pt and X, respectively. Particularly, Pt@Ag nanoparticles show the most well-balanced CO and $O_2$ binding energy values, which are required for facile CO oxidation. On the other hand, the $O_2$ binding energies of Pt@Pd, Pt@Ru, and Pt@Rh nanoparticles are too strong to catalyze further CO oxidation because of the strong oxygen affinity of Pd, Ru, and Rh. The Au shell of Pt@Au nanoparticles preferentially bond CO rather than $O_2$. From a catalysis design perspective, we believe that Pt@Ag is a better-performing Pt-based CO-tolerant CO oxidation catalyst.

Analysis model for the two-phase catalytic reactor is presented. With the progress in development of micro thermofluidic devices, needs fur understanding of the phenomena in two phase reaction in cm scale has been arisen. To investigate thermal and reactive performance of down scaled two phase reactor simple analysis model that is a kind of lumped flow model is proposed. Analysis model presented is based on the experiment on mm scale model reactor. Target experiment is catalytic decomposition of 70wt％ hydrogen peroxide with existence of perovskite L $a_{0.8}$S $r_{0.2}$Co $O_3$ catalyst. It is composed of balance equations of mass and energy. Each phase is considered to be a species fur the simplicity. Axial diffusion and transversal distribution of properties are neglected. Two phase catalytic reaction is modeled as successive gasification of liquid lump around catalyst and reaction in gas phase. Heat transfer is modeled by model function ofNu number. Modeled Nu is expressed as Nu=N $u_{0}$ (1＋ $a_1$( $a_2$ $T^{-}$ $a_3$)exp( $a_4$ $T^{-1}$)exp( $a_{5}$ z). Transfer coefficients are determined by the comparison of experimental results. With the model, heat transfer characteristics are investigated. Also by the mass transfer coefficient, characteristics in mass transfer is investigated. With the result basic understanding on design and analysis of mm scale two-phase reactive device is obtained. Also it can be further applied to micro scale reactive device fabricated by micromachining.ing..

Performance tests on $Ni/Ce-ZrO_2/Al_2O_3$ catalysts with additives (MgO, $La_2O_3$) were investigated in the combined reforming processes (SCR, ATR, TRM) in order to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide (it is called "syngas".). The catalyst characterization was conducted using the BET surface analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TPR and TGA. The combined reforming process was developed to adjust the syngas ratio depending on the synthetic fuel (methanol, DME and GTL) manufacturing processes. Ni-based catalysts supported on alumina has been generally recommended as a combined reforming reaction catalyst. It was found that both free NiO and complexed NiO species were responsible for the catalytic activity in the combined reforming of methane conversion, and the $Ce-ZrO_2$ binary support employed had improved the oxygen storage capacity and thermal stability. The additives, MgO and $La_2O_3$, also seemed to play an important role to prevent the formation of the carbon deposition over the catalysts. The experimental results were compared with the equilibrium data using a commercial simulation tool (PRO/II).

수소의 화학반응 에너지를 직접 전기 에너지로 변환하는 Polymer electolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs)는 친환경 미래 운송수단 에너지원의 한 종류이다. PEMFCs의 내부에 산소 환원 반응이 매우 느리고 고가의 백금을 사용하기 때문에 이를 대체하려는 연구가 국내외에서 매우 활발히 연구되고 있다. 하지만 백금이외에 값싼 재료를 이용한 촉매의 경우 여전히 성능이 매우 상이하며 활성 향상에 대한 지표 등이 다양하다. 이에 본 총설은 non-precious metal catalyst (NPMC)의 활성 지표 등을 정리하고 최근 5년간의 자료를 요약하였다. 이를 통해 촉매재료의 선별, 합성시 주안점, 조촉매 등을 설명하며, 촉매 활성에 대한 연구의 필요성을 상기 시킬 수 있다. 이를 통해 귀금속 촉매가 널리 사용되는 분야에 적용할 수 있는 NPMC의 연구 및 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 또한 향후 연구개발의 최종적인 목표를 기술한다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 증진제에 따른 $CH_4-SCR$ 반응특성을 확인하기 위하여 $Pt/Al_2O_3$를 기본으로 한 촉매에 알칼리, 알칼리 토류 금속을 담지하여 습식함침법으로 제조한다. 본 연구를 통해 $Pt/Al_2O_3$ 촉매에 Na를 담지시킬 경우 Pt와 Na 원자간 electronegative gap의 발생으로 Pt의 valence state 변화를 일으키며, 금속상 Pt의 비율이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있다. 또한 Na 첨가를 최적화시켜 제조한 촉매의 금속상 Pt종은 촉매표면에서 NO species 흡착 증진과 환원제로 사용되는 $CH_4$의 $CO_2$로의 산화를 억제시킨다. 이때, Na/Pt의 mole ratio는 4.0이 최적화이며, $CH_4-SCR$ 효율이 가장 우수하다.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used in various fields because they make it easy to control porous structures according to combinations of metal ions and organic linkers. In addition, ZIF (zeolitic imidazolate framework), a type of MOF, is made up of transition metal ions such as Co²⁺ or Zn²⁺ and linkers such as imidazole or imidazole derivatives. ZIF-67, composed of Co²⁺ and 2-methyl imidazole, exhibits both chemical stability and catalytic activity. Recently, due to increasing need for energy technology and carbon-neutral policies, catalysis applications have attracted tremendous research attention. Moreover, demand is increasing for material development in the electrocatalytic water splitting and metal-air battery fields; there is also a need for bifunctional catalysts capable of both oxidation/reduction reactions. This review summarizes recent progress of bifunctional catalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting and metal-air batteries using ZIF-67. In particular, the field is classified into areas of thermal decomposition, introduction of heterogeneous elements, and complex formation with carbon-based materials or polyacrylonitrile. This review also focuses on synthetic methods and performance evaluation.
