PtRu alloy and $PtRu-WO_3$ nanocomposite thin-film electrodes for methanol electrooxidation were fabricated by means of a sputtering method. The structural and electrochemical properties of well-defined PtRu alloy thin-film electrodes were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical measurements. The alloy thin-film electrodes were classified as follows: Pt-based and Ru-based alloy structure. Based on structural and electrochemical understanding of the PtRu alloy thin-film electrodes, the well-controlled physical and (electro)chemical properties of $PtRu-WO_3$, showed superior specific current to that of a nanosized PtRu alloy catalyst, The homogeneous dispersion of alloy catalyst and well-formed nanophase structure would lead to an excellent catalytic electrode reaction for high-performance fuel cells. In addition, the enhanced catalytic activity in nanocomposite electrode was found to be closely related to proton transfer in tungsten oxide using in-situ electrochemical transmittance measurement.

The combustion characteristics of the hybrid catalytic(catalytic+thermal) combustor with a lean methane-air mixture on platinum catalyst were investigated numerically using a 2-D boundary layer model with detailed homogeneous and heterogeneous chemistries. for the more accurate calculations, the actual surface site density of monolith coated with platinum was decided by the comparison with experimental data. It was found that the homogeneous reactions in the monolith had little effect on the change of temperature profile, methane conversion rate and light off location. However, the radicals such as OH and CO were produced rapidly at exit by homogeneous reactions. The effect of operation conditions such as equivalence ratio, temperature, velocity, pressure and diameter of the monolith channel at the entrance were studied. In thermal combustor, the production of N$_2$O was more dominant than that of NO due to the relative importance of the reaction N$_2$+O(+M)→N$_2$O(+M). Finally the productions of CO and NOx by amount of methane addition were studied.

The steam reformer for hydrogen production from methane is studied by a numerical method. Langmuir- Hinshelwood model is incorporated for catalytic surface reactions, and the pseudo-homogeneous model is used to take into account local equilibrium phenomena between a catalyst and bulk gas. Dominant chemical reactions are Steam Reforming (SR) reaction, Water-Gas Shift (WGS) reaction, and Direct Steam Reforming (DSR) reaction. The numerical results are validated with experimental results at the same operating conditions. Using the validated code, parametric study has been numerically performed in view of the steam reformer performance. As increasing a wall temperature, the fuel conversion increases due to the high heat transfer rate. When Steam to Carbon Ratio (SCR) increases, the concentration of carbon monoxide decreases since WGS reaction becomes more active. When increasing Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV), the fuel conversion decreases due to the heat transfer limitation and the low residence time. The reactor shape effects are also investigated. The length and radius of cylindrical reactors are changed at the same catalyst volume. The longer steam reformer is, the better steam reformer performs. However, system energy efficiency decreases due to the large pressure drop.

An optimum route to synthesize $Al_2O_3$-based composite powders with homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. CNTs/Metal/$Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite powders were fabricated by thermal chemical vapor deposition of $C_2H_2$ gas over metal/$Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite catalyst prepared by selective reduction of metal oxide/$Al_2O_3$ powders. The FT-Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed that the CNTs have single- and multi-walled structure. The CNTs with the diameter of 25-43 nm were homogeneously distributed in the metal/$Al_2O_3$ powders, and their characteristics were strongly affected by a kind of metal catalyst and catalyst size. The experimental results show that the composite powder with required size and dispersion of CNTs can be realized by control of synthesis condition.

𝛽-Patchoulene (𝛽-PAE) is a tricyclic sesquiterpene which performed many potential bioactivities and can be found in patchouli oil but in very low concentration. This study aimed to obtained 𝛽-PAE in high concentration by conversion of patchouli alcohol (PA) in patchouli oil under acid catalyzed reaction. Patchouli oil was fractinated by vacuum distillation at 96 kPa to get the fraction with the highest PA content. H₂SO₄ and ZnCl₂ were used respectively as homogeneous and heterogeneous acid catalysts in the conversion reaction of the selected fraction. Patchouli oil, the fractions and the products were analysed by using GC-MS and FTIR instruments. Moreover, the interaction of 𝛽-PAE to COX-2 protein was studied to understand the antiinflammation activity of 𝛽-PAE. The results showed that patchouli oil contains 25.3% of PA. The selected fraction which has the highest PA content (70.3%) was distilled at 151 - 152 ℃. The application of ZnCl₂ catalyst in conversion reaction did not succeed. In contrast, H₂SO₄ as a catalyst in acetic acid solvent succeeded in converting the overall fraction of PA to 𝛽-PAE. Furthermore, the molecular docking study of 𝛽-PAE against COX-2 enzyme showed van der Waals and alkyl-alkyl stacking interactions on ten amino acid residues.

알켄 또는 알킨의 산화 반응이 루테늄 지르코니아 불균일 촉매에 의해 매우 선택적이며 효율적으로 전환되었다. 절단반응을 통해, C-C 이중 결합은 알데히드 관능기로, 삼중 결합은 다이케톤 또는 카르복시산으로 전환되었는데, 다양한 기질들이 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $PhI(OAc)_2$ 산화제와 dichloromethane 및 물(각각 5 mL와 0.5 mL)의 혼합 용매 조건에서 반응이 수행되었다. 사용된 촉매 $Ru(OH)_x/ZrO_2$는 이 절단 반응에 대해 기존의 다른 루테늄 기반 불균일 또는 균일 촉매들보다 더 좋은 활성과 선택성을 보였다. 반응이 진행되는 동안, 제조된 촉매의 기계적인 물성은 안정적이었고, 금속의 침출은 전혀 보이지 않았다. 불포화된 탄화수소들의 산화적 절단에 대해, 합성된 촉매는 여러 번 재사용해도 그 촉매의 성능을 그대로 유지하였다.

Homogeneous and monolithic TiO2-SiO2 binary aerogels were prepared by supercritical drying. Optical transparency was increased with adding acid catalyst during two step hydrolysis and with decreasing water content. These differences in optical transparency were related to microstructures of gel network formed through polycondensation reaction during supercritical drying process, rather than the final composition of aerogel.

A two dimensional pseudo-homogeneous model for the methanol reforming reaction was developed and its steady and dynamic states were studied by a computer simulation. The reactor tube diameter, the catalyst density in the fixed bed, the feed flow rate, the feed temperature and the external temperature were chosen to be adjusted to determine the length of the reactor. The dynamics of the reactor showed that the system was highly nonlinear and sensitive to the feed disturbances.

본 연구에서는 촉매로 Co-Mn-Br계를 사용하고, 상대적으로 온화한 반응조건에서 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene(DMN)의 산화 반응 특성과 촉매가 반응에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 이를 위해 $2{\ell}$의 회분식 반응기를 이용하여 촉매의 농도를 조절하며 실험하였다. 먼저 반응시간에 따른 반응중간생성물의 농도변화를 분석하여 반응경로를 확인하였고, 그 결과 2-formyl-6-naphthoic acid, 2-methyl-6-naphthoic acid, 그리고 2-hydroxymethyl-6-methylnaphthalene이 반응중간물임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid(NDA)의 수율은 Co와 Br의 농도에 많은 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었고, 제품의 품질 척도 중 하나인 color-b는 Mn의 농도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 용매연소는 Mn과 Br의 농도조절로 줄일 수가 있었다. 조촉매로 Ce/Cu 화합물을 첨가함으로 NDA의 수율을 증가시키고 용매연소를 줄이는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
