HI decomposition reaction requires a catalyst for the efficient production of hydrogen as a key reaction for hydrogen production in sulfur-iodine thermochemical water-splitting (SI) cycle. As a catalyst used in the reaction, the performance of platinum catalyst is excellent. While, the platinum catalyst is not economical. Therefore, studies of a nickel catalyst that could replace platinum have been carried out. In this study, the characteristics of the catalytic HI decomposition on the amount of loaded nickel (Ni = 0.1, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10 wt%) were investigated. As the supported Ni amount increased up to 3 wt%, HI decomposition was found to increase in linear proportion. However, the conversion of $Ni/Al_2O_3$ catalyst loaded above 3 wt% was not linear. It was thought that the different HI decomposition characteristics was caused in the size and metal dispersion of Ni particles of catalyst. The physical property of catalyst before and after HI decomposition reaction was characterized by BET, chemisorption, XRD and SEM analysis.

The new process in order to fabricate of Ni catalyst with high activity by the mechanochemical(MC) method which was combined the mechanical alloying(MA) and the chemical treatment process. The microstructure and characterization of mechanically alloyed Ni-5-wt% Al powder and Ni catalyst gained by alkali leaching were investigated byt he various analysis such as XRD, SEM-EDS, HRTEM and laser particle analyzer. The steady state powder with 1~2$\mu\textrm{m}$ mean particle size was obtained after 30hr milling with the PCA of 2 wt% stearic acid under the condition of grinding stainless steel ball to powder ratio of 60:1 and rotating speed fo 300rpm. According to result of HRTEM diffraction pattern, MA powder of the steady state was nanocrystalline $Al_3$$Ni_2$ intermetallic compound. Ni catalyst was obtained after KOH leaching of the steady state powder was about 20nm nanocrystalline which contained about 8 wt % Al.

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of the various synthesis methods that have been employed for carbon nanotube (CNT) growth. In particular, Ren et al reported that large areas of vertically aligned multi-wall carbon nanotubes could be grown using a direct current (dc) PECVD system. The synthesis of CNT requires a metal catalyst layer, etchant gas, and a carbon source. In this work, the substrates consists of Si wafers with Ni-deposited film. Ammonia $NH_3$) and acetylene ($C_2H_2$) were used as the etchant gases and carbon source, respectively. Pretreated conditions had an influence on vertical growth and density of CNTs. And patterned growth of CNTs could be achieved by lithographical defining the Ni catalyst prior to growth. The length of single CNT was increased as niclel dot size increased, but the growth rate was reduced when nickel dot size was more than 200 nm due to the synthesis of several CNTs on single Ni dot. The morphology of the carbon nanotubes by TEM showed that vertical CNTs were multi-wall and tip-type growth mode structure in which a Ni cap was at the end of the CNT.

HY 제올라이트에 담지된 Ni 촉매 및 Mg, Ca, K 그리고 Mn 등이 조촉매로 함께 담지된 Ni/HY 촉매상에서 메탄의 건식 개질 반응을 수행하였다. 촉매는 초기 함침법으로 제조하였으며 제조된 촉매는 XRD, BET, SEM 및 TGA 분석을 통하여 반응 전후 의 촉매 변화를 고찰하였다. Ni의 담지량이 증가함에 따라 메탄의 전환율 및 생성물의 수율이 증가하였으며 Ni의 담지량이 13 wt% 일 때 메탄의 전환율이 최대를 나타내었다. Mg를 조촉매로 함께 담지하였을 때 촉매의 탄소에 대한 저항성이 크게 증가하였으며 이에 따라 촉매의 장기 안정성이 크게 향상되었다. 이는 조촉매로 담지된 Mg가 Ni의 입자 크기를 작게 하여 Ni의 분산도를 향상시키고 촉매의 비활성화를 방지하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.

기존 건식 개질 반응에 사용되는 니켈 기반 촉매 공정은 활성화 온도가 높고, 촉매 표면의 활성점에 탄소 침착 및 금속 소결 현상 등의 문제점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 촉매공정에 DBD 플라즈마 공정이 결합된 촉매+플라즈마 공정을 이용하여 뷰테인 건식 개질 반응 특성을 조사하고 기존 촉매 공정과 비교 분석하였다. 촉매의 특성을 파악하기 위해 비표면적 분석기, XRD, SEM 및 TEM 등을 사용하여 물리 화학적 특성을 조사 하였다. $580^{\circ}C$에서 $10%Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$촉매를 사용한 경우 촉매+플라즈마 공정의 경우 촉매 단독 공정에 비해 이산화탄소와 뷰테인 전환율이 각각 27%, 39%향상되었다. 촉매+플라즈마 공정의 경우 플라즈마에 의해 생성된 다양한 활성종의 영향으로 이산화탄소와 뷰테인 전환율 및 생성되는 수소 농도가 증가하였으며, 뷰테인 건식 개질 반응 과정에서 플라즈마에 의해 니켈 촉매의 크기가 감소하고 분산도가 증가하여 반응 효율이 향상되는 것으로 판단되었다.

The dependency of the rate of $CO_2$ reforming of methane on the catalyst loading and the reactor size was examined at a fixed temperature of $750\;^{\circ}C$ and a fixed GHSV of 18000 mL(STP)/$g_{cat}.h$. The conversion of methane in $CO_2$reforming decreased with increase in the reactor size. The catalyst was severely deactivated with increase in the catalyst amount. The amount of carbonaceous species combustible below $550\;^{\circ}C$, determined by TPO experiments with the used catalyst samples increased with increase in the catalyst amount, which was again confirmed by XRD and TEM experiments. The increase of the carbonaceous species combustible below $550\;^{\circ}C$ may be due to the suppression of the reverse Boudouard reaction, since the $CO_2$ reforming of methane, a highly endothermic reaction, resulted in lowering the reaction temperature.

As rechargeable metal-air batteries will be ideal energy storage devices in the future, an active cathode electrocatalyst is required with bi-functionality on both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) during discharge and charge, respectively. Here, a class of perovskite cathode catalyst with a micro-tubular structure has been developed by controlling bi-functionality from different Ru and Ni dopant ratios. A micro-tubular structure is achieved by the activated carbon fiber (ACF) templating method, which provides uniform size and shape. At the perovskite formula of $LaCrO_3$, the dual dopant system is successfully synthesized with a perfect incorporation into the single perovskite structure. The chemical oxidation states for each Ni and Ru also confirm the partial substitution to B-site of Cr without any changes in the major perovskite structure. From the electrochemical measurements, the micro-tubular feature reveals much more efficient catalytic activity on ORR and OER, comparing to the grain catalyst with same perovskite composition. By changing the Ru and Ni ratio, the $LaCr_{0.8}Ru_{0.1}Ni_{0.1}O_3$ micro-tubular catalyst exhibits great bi-functionality, especially on ORR, with low metal loading, which is comparable to the commercial catalyst of Pt and Ir. This advanced catalytic property on the micro-tubular structure and Ru/Ni synergy effect at the perovskite material may provide a new direction for the next-generation cathode catalyst in metal-air battery system.

The catalytic steam reforming of toluene, a major component of biomass tar, was studied using several catalysts at various temperatures $400-800^{\circ}C$, kind of metal, and metal loading content. Ru and K promoted Ni-base catalyst were prepared, and used for steam reforming of toluene with steam/toluene molar ratio of 25. Concentration of toluene in reactant flow is $30g/Nm^3$ that is usual content of tar from biomass gasifier. The result from experiments showed that $H_2$ content in product gas and toluene conversion increased with temperature. Where in high temperature range, CO and $CO_2$ content in product gas were affected mainly by Boudouard reaction. Ni/Ru-K(3wt%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed best performance on steam reforming of toluene than used catalysts in this study at whole temperature. Catalysts have been characterized by XRD, TG. XRD analysis displayed that Ni particle size on Ni/Ru-K (3wt%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was 29.4nm. Activation energy of Ni/Ru-K (3wt%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was calculated 36.8kJ/mol by Arrhenius plot.

본 연구에서는 탄소나노튜브의 성장특성을 결정짓는 여러 요소 중 한가지인 촉매층 두께의 변화에 따라서 형성되어지는 탄소 나노튜브의 형태 변화를 관찰하였다. Ni 촉매층은 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 증착하였으며, Ni 촉매층의 두께는 $20{\sim}80\;nm$의 범위에서 설정하였다. 두께에 따른 Ni 촉매층 기판을 hot-filament 플라즈마 화학기상 증착(HF-PECVD) 장치를 이용하여 탄소나노튜브를 합성하였으며, 성장되어진 탄소나노튜브의 성분분석은 에너지 분산형 X-선 측정기(EDS)를 통해 분석하였고, 고배율 투과전자현미경(HRTEM) 분석과 전계방사 주사전자현미경(FESEM) 분석을 통해 성장된 탄소나노튜브 성장 형태를 관찰하였다. 그 결과로써, 고배율 투과전자현미경(TEM) 분석을 통해서는 탄소나노튜브는 내부가 비어있으며, 다중벽으로 구성되어 있는 것을 관찰하였고, 탄소나노튜브 상부에 니켈 금속이 포함된 것을 확인하였다. 이것은 분산형 X-선 측정을 통해 탄소나노튜브의 구성성분이 접착층인 Ti, 촉매층인 Ni 그리고 탄소(C)로 이루어졌음을 다시한번 확인하였으며. 성장형태에서도 알 수 있듯이 탄소나노튜브 성장 전에 행해여지는 전처리는 촉매층의 입자를 변화시키고 변화된 촉매층의 표면은 다른 형태의 탄소나노튜브를 성장시킴을 알 수 있었다. 결과적으로, 40 mn의 촉매층을 지니는 기판에서 가장 좋은 형태를 나타내는 탄소 탄소나노튜브가 성장되었음을 알 수 있다.
