수소에너지 생산을 위한 물분해 시스템의 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는, 수소발생반응 (HER)과 산소발생반응(OER) 각각에서 촉매로 인한 전기화학적 반응에서의 높은 과전압의 감소가 수반되어야 한다. 그 중에서도 전이금속 기반의 화합물(수산화물, 황화물 등)은 현재 상용되고 있는 백금 등의 귀금속을 대체할 촉매 재료로써 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 저렴한 금속 다공성 소재인 Ni foam을 지지체로 사용하고, 수열합성 공정을 통해 β-Ni(OH)₂ 마이크로결정을 합성하고자 하였다. 또한 전기화학적 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 Fe을 도핑하여 합성된 β-Ni(OH)₂ 마이크로 결정의 형상, 결정구조 및 물분해 특성의 변화를 관찰하였으며, 상용 수전해 시스템의 촉매로서의 적용가능성을 검토하였다.

Due to the rapidly diminishing energy sources and higher energy production cost, the interest in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) has been increasing dramatically in recent years. A typical DSSC is constructed of wide band gap semiconductor electrode such as $TiO_2$ or ZnO that are anchored by light-harvesting sensitizer dyes and surrounded by a liquid electrolyte with a iodide ion/triiodide ion redox couple. DSSCs based on one-dimensional nano-structures, such as ZnO nanorods, have been recently attracting increasing attention due to their excellent electrical conductivity, high optical transmittance, diverse and abundant configurations, direct band gap, absence of toxicity, large exiton binding energy, etc. However, solar-to-electrical conversion performances of DSSCs composed of ZnO n-type photo electrode compared with that of $TiO_2$ are not satisfactory. An important reason for the low photovoltaic performance is the dissolution of $Zn^{2+}$ by the adsorption of acidic dye followed by the formation of agglomerates with dye molecules which could block the I-diffusion pathway into the dye molecule on the ZnO surface. In this paper, we prepared the DSSC with the ZnO electrode using the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method under low temperature condition (< $100^{\circ}C$). It was demonstrated that the ZnO seed layers played an important role on the formation of the ZnO nanostructures using CBD. To achieve truly low-temperature growth of the ZnO nanostructures on the substrates, a two-step method was developed and optimized in the present work. Firstly, ZnO seed layer was prepared on the FTO substrate through the spin-coating method. Secondly, the deposited ZnO seed substrate was immersed into an aqueous solution of 0.25M zinc nitrate hexahydrate and 0.25M hexamethylenetetramine at $90^{\circ}C$ for hydrothermal reaction several times.

본 연구에서는 ALC의 물리적 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 다양한 인자 중 규석 종류를 검토하였으며, 이때 회수슬러리를 재활용하였다. 규석은 문경 및 금평 규석을 사용하였으며, 규석 분말 입수분도 실험하였다. 규석의 XRD 분석과 광물상 분석을 통해 문경 규석의 주요 광물은 석영과 운모로, 금평 규석은 석영으로 구성되어 있음을 확인하였다. 더불어 금평 규석에 존재하는 석영의 결정성이 좀 더 양호하다는 것도 알 수 있었다. ALC의 밀도와 기공특성은 규석별 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나, 압축강도 및 A-수는 문경 규석보다 금평 규석 사용시에 양호한 특성을 발현하였다. 이러한 현상은 규석에 존재하는 주요 광물 결정종의 차이, 석영입자 결정성 및 미량성분 함량 차이 등의 영향으로 추정되었다.

Ga-MFI was synthesized by a hydrothermal process at atmospheric pressure. The effect of mole ratios of reactants on crystallization was also investigated thoroughly. The characteristics of synthesized Ga-MFI was compared with ZSM-5. The synthesis of Ga-MFI was carried out with five different mole-compositions of $\underline{a}SiO_2-\underline{b}Ga_2O_3-\underline{c}Na_2O-\underline{d}TPA_2o-\underline{e}H_2O$. The synthesized Ga-MFI and ZSM-5 were characterized by XRD and FT-IR. The inorganic cation ($Na^+$) and water played an important role in crystallinity and the organic cation ($TPA^+$) as a template played a great influence on yields. With the increase in the amount of $Ga^{3+}$, crystallization time was increased. With a fixed $SiO_2/Ga_2O_3$ ratio of 400, the optimum reaction condition was obtained at $H_2O/SiO_2$=30${\sim}$35, $Na_2O/SiO_2$=0.5${\sim}$0.6, and $TPA_2O/Na_2O$=1${\sim}$1.25. In these cases, the crystallinity and yield were more than 95% and 90%, respectively. By comparing IR spectrum of Ga-MFI with those of ZSM-5 and silicalite, it was found that Ga-MFI showed a unique peak at 970 $cm^{-1}$, which may be used to identify Ga-MFI from ZSM-5 and silicalite.

본 연구는 반도체 크린룸에서 VOC(volatile organic compound)과 수분을 제거하기 위한 흡착로타에 관한 것이다. 흡착로타는 세라믹 페이퍼 허니컴 기질에 NaX 제올라이트와 TS-1 제올라이트로 만들어졌다. NaX 제올라이트는 수열합성법으로 합성되어졌으며, NaX 제올라이트 결정(2∼3 ㎛)을 seed로 합성 조성에 3∼5 wt%까지 첨가하여 5 ㎛의 균일한 NaX 제올라이트를 성장시켰다. Seed의 첨가는 seed를 첨가하지 않은 합성용액과 비교하여 결정의 크기가 크며, 균일한 NaX 제올라이트 결정을 성공적으로 합성하였다. TS-1 제올라이트는 초기 반응액의 pH를 변화시켜 합성하였다. 반응물의 pH는 10.0에서 11.5 까지의 범위를 가지며, PH 10.4에서 큰 기공(8∼10 (equation omitted))을 가진 TS-1 제올라이트(ETS-10)가 합성되는 반면 pH가 11.5에서는 작은 기공 (3∼5 (equation omitted))을 갖는 TS-1 제올라이트(ETS-4)가 합성되었다.

Constructing and making highly active and stable nanostructured Pt-based catalysts with ultralow Pt loading are still electrifying for electrochemical applications such as water electrolysis and fuel cells. In this study, MoO₃ ribbons (RBs) of few micrometer in length is successfully synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis. Subsequently, 3-dimentional (3D)-silicate layer for about 10 to 15 nm is introduced via chemical deposition onto the pre-formed MoO₃ RBs; to setup the platform for Pt metaldots (MDs) deposition. In comparison with the bare MoO₃ RBs, the MoO₃-Si has served as a efficient solid-support for stabilizing and accommodating the uniform deposition of sub-2 nm Pt MDs. Such a structural design would effectively assist in improving the electronic conductivity of a fabricated MoO₃-Si-Pt catalyst towards MOR; the interfaced, porous and 3D silicate layer has assisted in an efficient mass transport and quenching the poisonous CO_ads species leading to a significant electrocatalytic performance for MOR in alkaline medium. Uniformly decorated, sub-2 nm sized Pt MDs has synergistically oxidized the MeOH in association with the MoO₃-Si solid-support hence, synergistic catalytic activity has been achieved. Present facile approach can be extended for fabricating variety of highly efficient Metal Oxide-Metal Nanocomposite for energy harvesting applications.

Minute boehmite crystals with high aspect rations, which were hydrothermally synthesized from gibbsite in $Ba(OH)_2$ solution, occluded Ba with the Ba/Al molar ratio of about 0.03 in their interlayers. Their surface areas were about 14$\m^2$/g. The Ba-intercalated bohemite samples were partly used for producing $BaAl_{12}O){19}$ with low sinterability by externally supplementing $Ba(OH)_2$, and for forming transient aluminas. The surface area of $BaAl_{12}O){19}$ obtained by firing at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 3 h was 5.3$\m^2$/g, which was significantly lower than 12$\m^2$/g of the sol-gel origin. While a mixture ${\gamma}$-alumina and BaO is known to from $BaAl_{12}O){19}$ at $1200^{\circ}C$, solid state reaction between η-alumina transformed from the Ba-intercalated boehmite and BaO formed from $Ba(OH)_2$ deposited on the boehmite started above $1300^{\circ}C$. This suggests that large sized $Ba^{2+}$ ion occluded in η-alumina considerably suppresses the diffusion of $Al^{3+}$ ion. The surface area of the Ba-intercalated boehmite fired at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 3h was as high as 14$\m^2$/g indicative of its potential applicability to combustion catalysts. But it was decreased to 5.0$\m^2$/g after firing at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 3 h, accompanied by abrupt formations of $\alpha$-alumina and $BaAl_{12}O){19}$ as main products. The suppression of $\alpha$-alumina formation up to $1400^{\circ}C$ also suggests the significant blocking effect of $Ba^{2+}$ ion on the diffusion of the component ions.

The effects of a Ni coating on the sensing properties of nano ZnO:Ni based gas sensors were studied for $CH_4$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gases. Nano ZnO sensing materials were prepared by the hydrothermal reaction method. The Ni coatings on the nano ZnO surface were deposited by the hydrolysis of zinc chloride with $NH_4OH$. The weight % of Ni coating on the ZnO surface ranged from 0 to 10 %. The nano ZnO:Ni gas sensors were fabricated by a screen printing method on alumina substrates. The structural and morphological properties of the nano ZnO : Ni sensing materials were investigated by XRD, EDS, and SEM. The XRD patterns showed that nano ZnO : Ni powders with a wurtzite structure were grown with (1 0 0), (0 0 2), and (1 0 1) dominant peaks. The particle size of nano ZnO powders was about 250 nm. The sensitivity of nano ZnO:Ni based sensors for 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas was measured at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air with that in target gases. The highest sensitivity of the ZnO:Ni sensor to $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas was observed at Ni 4 wt%. The response and recovery times of 4 wt% Ni coated ZnO:Ni gas sensors were 14 s and 15 s, respectively.
