금속산화물 고분자 복합재료전극 제조기법을 수소이온 감응성이 높은 $RuO_2$에 적용하여 표면연마가 가능한 나노 $RuO_2$ 복합재료 pH전극을 제조하였다. $RuO_2$ 함량 53 wt%을 가지는 나노 $RuO_2$ 복합재료 전극의 경우 나노 $IrO_2$ 복합재료 전극과 비슷한 수소이온 감응특성을 나타내었다. pH 1~9의 범위에서 이론치에 가까운 -58.7 mV/pH의 감응기울기, 1초 이하의 감응속도, 평균 $-57.0{\pm}0.3mV/pH$ (n=5)의 표면재생성, 장기 안정성 등 제반 특성과 전기화학적으로 활성이 높은 화학종에 의한 방해효과도 비슷하게 나타났다. 그러나 pH 10 이상의 염기성 용액에서의 감응기울기와 감응속도는 나노 $IrO_2$ 복합재료전극에 비하여 현저히 떨어지는 결과를 보였으며 이는 복합재료 매질 속의 금속산화물 함량에 따른 물리적 성질 차이에 따른 것으로 추측된다.

Supercapacitor is attracting growing attention for a promising energy conversion and storage device because of its desirable electrochemical properties such as rapid charge-discharge rate, high power density and long cycle life. Three-dimensional (3D) metal nanostructure has been widely studied since it can provide efficient charge transport along the 3D network in many device applications. In this work, we fabricated well-ordered 3D nickel (Ni) nanostructures using 3D-arrayed polystyrene nano-opal substrates. We also fabricated half-cell supercapacitors by electrodepositing $RuO_2$ onto these nanostructured Ni current collectors and investigated their morphological and electrochemical properties.

The study on the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) using the noble metals has long been the interest subject and the recent progress in nanoscience provides the opportunity to develop new model systems of catalysts in this field. Of the noble metal catalysts, we selected ruthenium (Ru) as metal catalyst due to its unusual catalytic behavior. The size of colloid Ru NPs was controlled by the concentration of Ru precursor and the final reduction temperatures. For catalytic activity of CO oxidation, it was found that the trend is dependent on the size of Ru NPs. In order to explain this trend, the surface oxide layer surrounding the metal core has been suggested as the catalytically active species through several studies. In this poster, we show the influence of surface oxide on Ru NPs on the catalytic activity of CO oxidation using chemical treatments including oxidation, reduction and UV-Ozone surface treatment. The changes occurring to UV-Ozone surface treatment will be characterized with XPS and SEM. The catalytic activity before and after the chemical modification were measured. We discuss the trend of catalytic activity in light of the formation of core-shell type oxide on nanoparticles surfaces.

Since the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have extraordinary material properties, many researchers are trying to make a practical application in various fields [1]. In particular, the high surface area of CNTs was fascinated for nano-template on the catalytic system. $RuO_2$ coated CNTs are useful functional nano-composites in many applications, including super capacitors, fuel cells, biosensors, and field emitters. However, the research of interaction between CNTs and $RuO_2$ was not satisfied with various fields [2]. In this study, we will introduce the change of chemical and electrical state of $RuO_2$/CNTs at different temperatures by synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES). The t-MWCNTs used in this experiment were grown on the Ni/TiN/Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition. $RuO_2$ of 4-20 nm in thickness was deposited on the t-MWNTs by sputter. The SRPES measurements were carried out at the 4B1 beamline of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory in Korea. The result of XPS measurement indicates that the deposited $RuO_2$ on the CNTs was reduced into pure Ru at above $300^{\circ}C$. And we confirmed that the effective work function of $RuO_2$/CNTs was decreased with increasing temperature.
