악취는 사람마다 느끼는 정도가 다르므로 법적 배출허용농도 이내로 배출된다고 하더라도 민원 발생 시 사회적으로 이슈화가 되는 특징이 있다. 본 연구는 산업공정에서 발생된 악취중의 아세트알데히드를 경제적으로 제거하기 위해 Mn-Cu 금속산화물 촉매의 실용화 가능성에 관한 연구이며, 실험실에서 성능평가를 통해 아세트알데히드 제거를 위한 최적 운전인자를 도출하였고, 파일럿 규모의 Scale-up을 통한 현장 실험으로 실제규모 시설에 적용하여 성능을 검증하였다. 지금까지 연구되어진 금속산화물 촉매의 운전온도는 최소 $220^{\circ}C$ 근방에서 아세트알데히드 제거효율이 50% 이하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서 Mn-Cu 금속산화물 촉매를 사용하여 실험한 결과 공간속도(GHSV)가 6,000 $hr^{-1}$ 이하일 때 최적의 제거효율을 보였으며, 촉매제어 온도가 $120^{\circ}C$일 때 평균 제거효율은 61.2%, $160^{\circ}C$에서는 93.3%, $180^{\circ}C$에서는 94.9%로 높은 제거효율을 보였다. 촉매의 비표면적은 사용 전 $200m^2/g$이었으나 24개월 경과 시 $47.162m^2/g$으로 나타나 비표면적은 시간이 지남에 따라 줄어들지만 성능에는 큰 영향이 없었고, 황화합물과 산성가스 등과 같은 피독물질이 유입되지 않는 현장에서 Mn-Cu 금속산화물 촉매장치를 2년 이상 운전한 결과 90% 이상의 제거효율이 유지되고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study investigated the long-term durability of catalyst(Pd or Fe)-infiltrated solid oxide cells for $CO_2$/steam co-electrolysis. Fuel-electrode supported solid oxide cells with dimensions of $5{\times}5cm^2$ were fabricated, and palladium or iron was subsequently introduced via wet infiltration (as a form of PdO or FeO solution). The metallic catalysts were employed in the fuel-electrode to promote $CO_2$ reduction via reverse water gas shift reactions. The metal-precursor particles were well-dispersed on the fuel-electrode substrate, which formed a bimetallic alloy with Ni embedded on the substrate during high-temperature reduction processes. These planar cells were tested using a mixture of $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ to measure the electrochemical and gas-production stabilities during 350 h of co-electrolysis operations. The results confirmed that compared to the Fe-infiltrated cell, the Pd-infiltrated cell had higher stabilities for both electrochemical reactions and gas-production given its resistance to carbon deposition.

Pt-Ru and Pt-Ni bimetallic catalysts were prepared and tested for heavy hydrocarbon reforming. Metals were supported on CGO($Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{2.0-x}$) by incipient wetness method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by Temperature programmed reduction(TPR). Oxidative steam reforming of n-dodecane was conducted to compare the activity of the catalysts. The reforming temperature was varied from $500^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ at fixed $O_2$/C of 0.3, $H_2O$/C of 3.0 and GHSV of 5,000/h.Reduction peaks of metal oxide, surface CGO and bulk CGO were detected. Reduction temperature of metal oxide decreased over the bi-metallic catalysts. It is considered that interaction between metals leads to decrease interaction between metal and oxygen. On the other hands, reduction temperatures of surface CGO were dectected in the order of Pt-Ru > Pt-Ni > Pt. low reduction temperatures of surface CGO indicates the low activation energy for oxygen ion conduction to metal. Oxygen ion conduction is known as de-coking mechanism of ionic conducting supports such as CGO. In activity test, fuel conversion was in the same order of Pt-Ru > Pt-Ni > Pt. Especially, 100% of fuel conversion was obtained over Pt-Ru catalysts at $500^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 탄화수소가스 중에서 가장 발화온도가 높은 메탄을 대상으로 전이금속 촉매의 산화반응 특성을 수행하였다. 망간의 경우 MnO, $MnO_2$, $Mn_2O_3$, $Mn_3O_4$, $Mn_4O_5$와 같이 다양한 산화가를 나타내므로 산화망간을 선택하여 메탄산화반응실험을 실시하였다. 메탄의 산화를 위한 전이금속 촉매중 망간을 산화물형태로 $Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$에 담지하였으며, 조촉매로는 Ni, Co 등을 이용하여 활성능과 수명의 향상을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 촉매 제조는 과잉용액 함침법을 사용하였다. 촉매의 활성화에너지, $T_{50}$, $T_{90}$을 계산하기 위하여 온도와 공간속도에 대한 전환율을 측정하였다. Mn-Co, Mn-Ni의 두성분의 전이금속촉매의 수명이 망간촉매에 비하여 10%이상 증가하고 활성은 약간 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

The performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is directly related to the electrocatalytic activity of composite electrodes in which triple phase boundaries (TPBs) of metallic catalyst, oxygen ion conducting support, and gas should be three-dimensionally maximized. The distribution morphology of catalytic nanoparticle dispersed on external surfaces is of key importance for maximized TPBs. Herein in situ grown nickel nanoparticle onto the surface of fluorite oxide is demonstrated employing gadolium-nickel co-doped ceria ($Gd0.2-xNixCe0.8O2-{\delta}$, GNDC) by reductive annealing. GNDC powders were synthesized via a Pechini-type sol-gel process while maximum doping ratio of Ni into the cerium oxide was defined by X-ray diffraction. Subsequently, NiO-GNDC composite were screen printed on the both sides of yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) pellet to fabricate the symmetrical half cells. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that the polarization resistance was decreased when it was compared to conventional Ni-GDC anode and this effect became greater at lower temperature. Ex situ microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy after the reductive annealing exhibited the exsolution of Ni nanoparticles on the fluorite phases. The influence of Ni contents in GNDC on polarization characteristics of anodes were examined by EIS under H2/H2O atmosphere. Finally, the addition of optimized GNDC into the anode functional layer (AFL) dramatically enhanced cell performance of anode-supported coin cells.

A deep understanding of the metallic silver catalysts formation process on oxide support and the formation mechanism is of great scientific and practical meaning for exploring better catalyst preparing procedures. Herein the thermal decomposition process of supported silver catalyst with silver oxalate as the silver precursor in the presence of ethylenediamine and ethanolamine is carefully investigated by employing a variety of characterization techniques including thermal analysis, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The formation mechanism of supported silver particles was revealed. Results showed that formation of metallic silver begins at about $100^{\circ}C$ and activation process is essentially complete below $145^{\circ}C$. Formation of silver was accompanied by decomposition of oxalate group and removal of organic amines. Catalytic performance tests using the epoxidation of ethylene as a probe reaction showed that rapid activation (for 5 minutes) at a relatively low temperature ($170^{\circ}C$) afforded materials with optimum catalytic performance, since higher activation temperatures and/or longer activation times resulted in sintering of the silver particles.

In this study, Fe-Ni bimetallic catalyst supported on kaolin is prepared by a wet impregnation method. The effects of mass of kaolin support, pre-calcination time, pre-calcination temperature and stirring speed on catalyst yields are examined. Then, the optimal supported Fe-Ni catalyst is utilised to produce multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) method. The catalysts and MWCNTs prepared using the optimal conditions are characterized using high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), high-resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM), electron diffraction spectrometer (EDS), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD/EDS patterns of the prepared catalyst confirm the formation of a purely crystalline ternary oxide ($NiFe_2O_4$). The statistical analysis of the variance demonstrates that the combined effects of the reaction temperature and acetylene flow rate predominantly influenced the MWCNT yield. The $N_2$ adsorption (BET) and TGA analyses reveal high surface areas and thermally stable MWCNTs. The HRTEM/HRSEM micrographs confirm the formation of tangled MWCNTs with a particle size of less than 62 nm. The XRD patterns of the MWCNTs reveal the formation of a typical graphitized carbon. This study establishes the production of MWCNTs from a bi-metallic catalyst supported on kaolin.

고압 반응시스템에서 요소와 메탄올로부터 메틸카바메이트(MC) 및 디메틸카보네이트(DMC)의 제조에 관한 금속산화물촉매와 이온성액체의 영향을 고찰하였다. 고립계에서 요소와 메탄올로부터 MC 수율은 촉매를 사용하지 않고도 $150^{\circ}C$ 이상의 반응온도에서 거의 100%를 나타내었으나, DMC 수율은 반응온도와 무관하게 1.5% 이하로 매우 낮은값을 나타내었다. 또한 MC와 메탄올로부터 DMC 수율은 $ZnCl_{2}$ 촉매를 사용한 경우에 가장 우수하였으며, 최적조건에서 16.3% 정도를 나타내었다. DMC 수율은 반연속식 실험에서 나노 크기의 촉매와 이온성액체를 함께 적용한 경우에 좀 더 향상되었다.

Ultrathin oxide encapsulated metal-oxide hybrid nanocatalysts have been fabricated by a soft chemical and facile route. First, SiO2 nanoparticles of 25~30 nm size have been synthesized by modified Stobber's method followed by amine functionalization. Metal nanoparticles (Ru, Rh, Pt) capped with polymer/citrate have been deposited on functionalized SiO2 and finally an ultrathin layer of TiO2 coated on surface which prevents sintering and provides high thermal stability while maximizing the metal-oxide interface for higher catalytic activity. TEM studies confirmed that 2.5 nm sized metal nanoparticles are well dispersed and distributed throughout the surface of 25 nm SiO2 nanoparticles with a 3-4 nm TiO2 ultrathin layer. The metal nanoparticles are still well exposed to outer surface, being enabled for surface characterization and catalytic activity. Even after calcination at $600^{\circ}C$, the structure and morphology of hybrid nanocatalysts remain intact confirm the high thermal stability. XPS spectra of hybrid nanocatalyst suggest the metallic states as well as their corresponding oxide states. The catalytic activity has been evaluated for high temperature CO oxidation reaction as well as photocatalytic H2 generation under solar simulation. The design of hybrid structure, high thermal stability, and better exposure of metal active sites are the key parameters for the high catalytic activity. The maximization of metal-TiO2 interface interaction has the great role in photocatalytic H2 production.

CuO의 함량이 반응활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 CuO(x)/0.3Al-0.7Ce (x = 2~20 wt%) 촉매를 함침법으로 제조하고 저온 CO 산화반응을 수행하였다. CuO(10)/0.3Al-0.7Ce 촉매가 반응물 중 수분의 존재 유무에 관계없이 가장 우수한 반응활성을 나타내었다. 수분의 존재는 활성점에 CO와의 경쟁흡착으로 활성점이 감소하여 50% CO 전환율 온도인 $T_{50%}$가 약 $50^{\circ}C$ 고온으로 이동되어 관찰되었다. $N_2O$-적정실험으로 구한 구리 표면적과 CO-펄스 실험으로 계산된 격자산소의 양은 CuO의 함량 증가에 따라 증가하였고, CuO(10)/0.3Al-0.7Ce 촉매에서 최대화되었다. 이러한 특성 분석결과는 사용된 촉매의 CO 산화반응에 대한 $T_{50%}$의 경향과 잘 일치하였다. 위의 특성분석 결과로부터, CuO(x)/0.3Al-0.7Ce 촉매의 CO 산화반응에 대한 반응성은 구리 표면적과 격자산소의 양과 밀접하게 관련된다고 결론지을 수 있다.
