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.

An inexpensive and efficient catalyst system has been developed for the N-arylation of phenylurea including a variety of aryl halides. This simple protocol uses $Cu_2O$ as the catalyst, microwave assisted, solvent- and ligand-free, $K_3PO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ as the base.

To remove NO from flue gas, a direct decomposition method to $N_2$ and $O_2$ was investigated by using copper / zeolite catalyst. The copper ion-exchanged HY type zeolite has high activity on NO decomposition. The decomposition activity was increased with the increase of ion-exchange level, contacting time and reaction temperature in the range of 30$0^{\circ}C$ -50$0^{\circ}C$ , and decreased with the oxygen addition.

여러가지 조성비로 만든 Cu/ZnO계 촉매로 이산화탄소를 수소화시켜 메탄올을 합성하였다. 촉매제조시 각 성분의 조성비가 촉매활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 반응촉매에 대하여 표면적 측정(BET), 주사전자현미경 측정(SEM), X선회절분석(XRD), X선광전자분석(XPS) 등을 실시하여, 각 촉매의 촉매특성을 조사하고 촉매활성과의 연관성을 연구하였다. 반응생성물은 메탄올과 일산화탄소 뿐이었는데 메탄올의 생성은 CuO의 함량이 증가하면 그에 따라 점차 증가하였으나 CuO:ZnO의 조성비율이 30:70일 경우에 최대이었고, CuO가 70 이상이면 급격하게 감소하였다. 촉매에 대한 SEM 측정과 BET 측정결과에서 확인된 바와 같이 이점은 미세결정크기가 증가되고 표면적이 감소하는 점과 일치되었다. 또 XPS 측정결과에서 촉매표면상에서의 Cu의 농도는 Cu/Cu+Zn(atomic ratio)을 비교할 때 CuO의 함량이 50% 이상인 경우에서 현저히 감소하였다. 그리고 각 촉매들의 $Cu(2P^3)$에 대한 결합에너지의 수치상의 값은 거의 같았으나 환원된 상태의 $Cu(2P^3)$의 결합에너지는 소성된 상태의 것과 비교하여 낮아졌고, 표면에 분포된 Cu 는 대부분 $Cu^{\circ}$로 확인되었으며 CuO:ZnO의 조성이 30:70인 경우에서 최대가 되었다. 이것은 또한 CuO의 조성비율이 30인 때에 메탄올생성이 최대라는 실험결과와도 잘 일치하였다. 그리고 환원된 각각의 촉매로 펄스(pulse)형태의 반응기에서 이소프로판올을 분해시킨 결과 아세톤의 생성율이 프로필렌보다 컸음으로 이들은 염기성이 상대적으로 강한 촉매라고 추측하였다.

Graphene has attracted an increasing attention due to its extraordinary electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties. Especially, the two dimensional (2D) sheet of graphene with an extremely high surface to volume ratio has a great potential in the preparation of multifunctional nanomaterials, as 2D supports to host metal nanoparticles (NPs). Copper oxide is widely used in various areas as antifouling paint, p-type semiconductor, dry cell batteries, and catalysts. Although the copper oxide(II) has been well known for efficient catalyst in C-N cross-coupling reaction, copper oxide(I) has not been highlighted. In this research, CuO and Cu2O nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on the surface of grapehene oxide (GO) have been synthesized by impregnation method and their morphological and electronic structures have been systemically investigated using TEM, XRD, and XAFS. We demonstrate that both CuO and Cu2O on graphene presents efficient catalytic performance toward C-N cross coupling reaction. The detailed structural difference between CuO and Cu2O NPs and their effect on catalytic performance are discussed.

액체 암모니아와 p-diiodobenzene (PDIB)을 반응물로, Cu계 화합물을 촉매로 사용하는Aromatic amination을 이용하여 p-phenylenediamine (PPD)을 합성하였다. 촉매의 종류와 양, 환원제의 종류, 암모니아의 양, 반응 온도가 생성물의 분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Cu(I) 화합물과 Cu 분말은 촉매로서 작용한 반면 Cu(II) 화합물은 촉매로서 작용하지 않았다. 촉매의 양이 증가할수록 반응속도는 빨라지지만 부반응물인 aniline의 생성량도 증가하였다. Aniline 생성량은 또한 사용한 암모니아의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 촉매 사용량을 줄이기 위해 환원제인 ascorbic acid, hydrazine, dihydroxyfumaric acid를 조촉매로 사용하면 반응속도가 크게 향상되었으나 부반응물인 aniline의 생성량 또한 증가하였다. 사용한 조촉매 중에서는 ascorbic acid와 dihydroxyfumaric acid를 사용하였을 경우가 hydrazine을 사용하였을 경우보다 반응속도가 빨랐고, dihydroxyfumaric acid를 사용하였을 경우 가장 적은 양의 aniline이 생성되었다.

This study reports on the synthesis of carbon nanofibers via chemical vapor deposition using Co and Cu as catalysts. In order to investigate the suitability of their catalytic activity for the growth of nanofibers, we prepared catalysts for the synthesis of carbon nanofibers with Cobalt nitrate and Copper nitrate, and found the optimum concentration of each respective catalyst. Then we made them react with Aluminum nitrate and Ammonium Molybdate to form precipitates. The precipitates were dried at a temperature of $110^{\circ}C$ in order to be prepared into catalyst powder. The catalyst was sparsely and thinly spread on a quartz tube boat to grow carbon nanofibers via thermal chemical vapor deposition. The characteristics of the synthesized carbon nanofibers were analyzed through SEM, EDS, XRD, Raman, XPS, and TG/DTA, and the specific surface area was measured via BET. Consequently, the characteristics of the synthesized carbon nanofibers were greatly influenced by the concentration ratio of metal catalysts. In particular, uniform carbon nanofibers of 27 nm in diameter grew when the concentration ratio of Co and Cu was 6:4 at $700^{\circ}C$ of calcination temperature; carbon nanofibers synthesized under such conditions showed the best crystallizability, compared to carbon nanofibers synthesized with metal catalysts under different concentration ratios, and revealed 1.26 high amorphicity as well as $292m^2g^{-1}$ high specific surface area.

Hydrogen gas and carbon nanotubes along with nanocarbon were produced from commercial natural gas using fixed bed catalyst reactor system. The maximum amount of carbon (491 g/g of catalyst) formation was achieved on 25% Ni, 3% Cu supported catalyst without formation of CO/CO2. Pure carbon nanotubes with length of 308 nm having balloon and horn type shapes were also formed at 673 K. Three sets of catalysts were prepared by varying the concentration of Ni in the first set, Cu concentration in the second set and doping with K in the third set to investigate the effect on stabilization of the catalyst and production of carbon nanotubes and hydrogen by copper and potassium doping. Particle size analysis revealed that most of the catalyst particles are in the range of 20-35 nm. All the catalysts were characterized using powder XRD, SEM/EDX, TPR, CHN, BET and CO-chemisorption. These studies indicate that surface geometry is modified electronically with the formation of different Ni, Cu and K phases, consequently, increasing the surface reactivity of the catalyst and in turn the Carbon nanotubes/H2 production. The addition of Cu and K enhances the catalyst dispersion with the increase in Ni loadings and maximum dispersion is achieved on 25% Ni: 3% Cu/Al catalyst. Clearly, the effect of particle size coupled with specific surface geometry on the production of hydrogen gas and carbon nanotubes prevails. Addition of K increases the catalyst stability with decrease in carbon formation, due to its interaction with Cu and Ni, masking Ni and Ni:Cu active sites.
