The catalytic yields of POM to hydrogen over M(1)-Ni(5)/AlCeO₃ (M = La, Ce, Y) were investigated using a fixed bed flow reactor under atmosphere. The crystal phase behavior of reduced La(1)-Ni(5)/AlCeO₃ catalysts before and after the reaction were studied via XRD analysis. FESEM and EDS analyses were further performed to show the uniformed distribution of La, Ni, and Ce metal particles on the catalyst surface. XPS results showed O^2-, O₂^2- species and metal ions such as Ce³⁺, Ce⁴⁺, La³⁺ and Ni²⁺ etc. were on the catalyst surface. When 1 wt% of La was added to Ni(5)/AlCeO₃ catalyst, Ni2p_3/2 and Ce3d_5/2 increased 52.7 and 6.3%, respectively. The yield of hydrogen on the La(1)-Ni(5)/AlCeO₃ catalyst was 89.1%, which was much better than that of M(1)-Ni(5)/AlCeO₃ (M = Ce, Y). As Ce⁴⁺ ions of CeO₂ produced by the reaction of AlCeO₃ with oxygen were substitute to La³⁺, it made oxygen vacancies in the lattice and further improved the hydrogen yield by increasing the dispersion of Ni atoms with strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) effect.

The effect of alloy compositions of the bond coating on the plasma sprayed-thermal barrier coatings was investigated. The performance of the coating composed of Rene80/NiCrAl/ZrO$_2$-CeO$_2$-Y$_2$O$_3$ and Rene80/CoNiCrAlY/ZrO$_2$-CeO$_2$-Y$_2$O$_3$was evaluated by isothermal and thermal cyclic test in an ambient atmosphere at 115$0^{\circ}C$. The failure of Rene80/NiCrAl/ZrO$_2$-CeO$_2$-Y$_2$O$_3$ coatings was occurred at the bond coating/ceramic coating interface while Rene80/CoNiCrAlY/ZrO$_2$-CeO$_2$-Y$_2$O$_3$ coating was failed at the substrate/bond coating interface after thermal cyclic test. The lifetime of Rene80/NiCrAl/ZrO$_2$-CeO$_2$-Y$_2$O$_3$coatings was longer than Rene80/CoNiCrAlY/ZrO$_2$-CeO$_2$-Y$_2$O$_3$coating. The oxidation rate of the NiCrAl bond coating examined by TGA was lower than CoNiCrAlY bond coatings. In summary, these results suggest that Rene80/CoNiCrAlY/ZrO$_2$-CeO$_2$-Y$_2$O$_3$system as thermal barrier coating be not suitable considering the durability of the coating layer for high temperature oxidation and thermal stress.

The catalytic activity of precious metals(Rh, Pd, Pt) and nickel catalysts supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3\;and\;CeO_2$ in the partial combustion of methane(PCM) to syngas was investigated based on the product distribution in a fixed bed now reactor under atmospheric condition and also on analysis results by SEM, XPS, TPD, BET, and XRD. The activity of the catalysts based on the syngas yield increased in the sequence $Rh(5)/CeO_2{\geq}Ni(5)/CeO_2>>Rh(5)/Al_2O_3>Pd(5)/Al_2O_3>Ni(5)/Al_2O_3$. Compared to the precious catalysts, the syngas yield and stability of the $Ni(5)/CeO_2$ catalyst were almost similar to $(5)/CeO_2$ catalyst, and superior to these of any other catalysts. The syngas yield of $Ni(5)/CeO_2$ catalyst was 90.66% at 1023 K. It could be suggested to be the redox cycle of the successive reaction and formation of active site, $Ni^{2-}$ and the lattice oxygen, $O^{2-}$ produced due to reduction of $Ce^{4-}$ to $Ce^{3-}$.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the Ce_xZr_1-xO₂ (CZ) addition onto Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts on the catalytic performance in methane steam reforming. In the reaction results, the CZ-added Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst showed higher CH₄ conversion and H₂ yield under the same reaction conditions than Ni/Al₂O₃. From the characterization data, the two catalysts had similar support porosity and Ni dispersion, confirming that the two properties could not determine the catalytic performance. However, the oxygen vacancy over the CZ-added Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst induced an efficient steam activation at low reaction temperatures, resulting in an increase in the catalytic activity and H₂ yield.

메탄의 수증기-이산화탄소 복합개질반응에서 니켈 촉매의 탄소 침적 저항성에대한 Ce 증진 효과를 살펴보기 위해, Ni-Ce/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 제조하였다. Ce/Ni 비율 변화에 따른 촉매 비표면적, Ni 입자 분산도 및 촉매 활성 변화를 살펴보았고, Ce 첨가량을 최적화 할 수 있었다. Ce/Ni 비율 증가에 따라 NiO 결정크기가 감소하고 표면적과 Ni 분산도는 증가하였다. 특히, Ce/Ni=0.5 첨가 시, 촉매는 가장 넓은 비표면적과 Ni 분산도를 가졌으며, 우수한 촉매 활성 및 높은 탄소 침적 저항성을 보였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 Ni과 Ce 담지 방법에 따른 Ni 분산도 향상과 Ni과 Ce간의 접촉 면적 극대화를 통한 활성산소 공급 향상에 대한 영향을 함께 살펴보았다. Ni과 Ce를 동시 함침법과 연속 함침법으로 담지하여 비교한 결과, 동시 함침법으로 제조한 Ni-Ce/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ (Ce/Ni=0.5) 촉매가 가장 우수한 촉매 성능 및 높은 탄소 침적 저항성을 보였다. 이는 동시 함침법으로 고분산된 Ni 입자와 담체간의 강한 상호작용 형성과 원활한 활성 산소 공급에 기인한 것이다.

A dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor packed with $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst was used for the dry ($CO_2$) reforming of propane (DRP) to improve the production of syngas (a mixture of $H_2$ and CO) and the catalyst stability. The plasma-catalytic DRP was carried out with either thermally or plasma-reduced $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst at a $C_3H_8/CO_2$ ratio of 1/3 and a total feed gas flow rate of $300mL\;min^{-1}$. The catalytic activities associated with the DRP were evaluated in the range of $500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. Following the calcination in ambient air, the ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ impregnated with the precursor solution ($Ni(NO_3)_2$ and $Ce(NO_3)_2$) was subjected to reduction in an $H_2/Ar$ atmosphere to prepare $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The characteristics of the catalysts were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), temperature programmed reduction ($H_2-TPR$), temperature programmed desorption ($H_2-TPD$, $CO_2-TPD$), temperature programmed oxidation (TPO), and Raman spectroscopy. The investigation revealed that the plasma-reduced $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst exhibited superior catalytic activity for the production of syngas, compared to the thermally reduced catalyst. Besides, the plasma-reduced $Ni-CeO_2/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst was found to show long-term catalytic stability with respect to coke resistance that is main concern regarding the DRP process.

(Ni-22Cr-10Al-1Y)와 ($ZrO_2-25CeO_2-2.5Y_2O_3$)로 구성되는 금속/세라믹 복합코팅을 대기용사(ASP; air plasma spay)으로 철 기판위에 1:3, 2:2, 3:1의 무게비로 혼합하여 제조하였다. 용사된 코팅은 금속이영지역과 세라믹잉여지역으로 구별되고, 용사중에 NiCrAlY중의 Al이 선택적으로 산화되어 Al2O3가 계면에 존재하였다. 복합코팅은 $NaCl-Na_2SO_4$ 용융염에서 $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, 50시간 동안 부식실험을 실시하였다. 부식생성물은 NiO, $Cr_2O_3$, ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$가 생성되는데, 부식이 진행되면서 용해되었다. 용융염 부식이 진행되는 동안에 Cr, Al이 외방확산하였고, Na, Cl, S는 내부로 확산되었다. 시간 및 온도뿐만 아니라 금속의 양이 증가할수록 코팅의 내식성은 저하되었다.

Catalytic gasification of mandarin waste residue was carried out using direct and indirect catalyst-contact methods for the first time. In the indirect method, non-catalytic reaction in a reactor was followed by catalytic upgrading of vapor product in another reactor. Two different catalysts, $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ and $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$, were employed. $CeO_2-ZrO_2$ support was prepared using hydrothermal synthesis in supercritical water. The catalysts were characterized by $H_2$-temperature programmed reduction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analyses. Under the condition of equivalent ratio (ER) = 0, the indirect catalyst-contact method led to a higher gas yield than the direct method. Under ER = 0.2, the yield of biogas obtained over $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ was higher than that obtained over $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Also, the coke formation of $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ was lower than that of $Ni/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Such results were attributed to the higher reducibility and better lattice oxygen mobility of $Ni/CeO_2-ZrO_2$, which were advantageous for partial oxidation reaction.

Hydrogen production via steam reforming of liquefaction liquid from marine algae over hydrothermal liquefaction was carried out at 873 ~ 1073 K with a commercial catalyst and Ni based $K_2Ti_xO_y$ added catalysts. Liquefaction liquid obtained by hydrothermal liquefaction (503 K, 2 h) was used as a reactant and comparison studies for catalytic activity over different catalysts (FCR-4-02, $Ni/K_2Ti_xO_y-Al_2O_3$, $Ni/K_2Ti_xO_y-SiO_2$, $Ni/K_2Ti_xO_y-ZrO_2/CeO_2$ and Ni/$K_2Ti_xO_y$-MgO), reaction temperature were performed. Experimental results showed Ni/$K_2Ti_xO_y$ based catalysts ($Ni/K_2Ti_xO_y-Al_2O_3$, $Ni/K_2Ti_xO_y-SiO_2$, Ni/$K_2Ti_xO_y-ZrO_2$/ $CeO_2$ and Ni/$K_2Ti_xO_y$-MgO) have a higher activity than commercial catalyst (FCR-4-02) and In particular, a product composition was different depending on support materials. An acidic support ($Al_2O_3$) and a basic support (MgO) led to a higher selectivity for CO while a neutral support ($SiO_2$) and a reducing support ($ZrO_2/CeO_2$) resulted in a higher $CO_2$ selectivity due to water gas shift reaction.
