Ammonia would be formed in natural gas containing small amount of nitrogen reforming process in the process natural gas, which might damage the Pt catalyst and Prox catalyst. In the article, the effect of nitrogen contents on the formation of ammonia in the reforming process has been studied. In the experiments, Ru based and Ni based catalysts were used and the concentration of ammonia in the reformate gas at various gas hourly space velocity was measured. Experimental result shows that relatively higher ammonia concentration was measured with Ru based catalyst than with Ni based catalyst. It also shows that the concentration of ammonia increased rapidly after most of the methane converted into hydrogen. Based on the experimental results to reduce ammonia concentration it might be better to finish methane conversion at the exit position of the reforming reactor to minimize the contact time of catalyst and nitrogen with high concentration of hydrogen.

본 연구에서는 Ni metal foam 플레이트의 수증기 개질반응 및 표면 특성을 조사하였다. 전처리를 통하여 Ni의 산화상태를 변화시킬 수 있었으며, 활성 site로서 표면에 노출된 metallic Ni 종은 수증기 개질 반응활성에 중요한 역할을 한다. 또한 Ni metal foam 플레이트의 기공제어 및 촉매 기능을 부여하기 위하여 Ni metal foam 플레이트와 Ni-YSZ 촉매를 혼합하여 다공성 촉매 분리막을 제조하였다. SEM 분석 결과 metal foam 플레이트의 기공을 제어할 수 있었으며, 표면에 Ni-YSZ 촉매는 고르게 잘 분포되어 있었다. Ni 기반 다공성 촉매 분리막은 공간속도에 상관없이 상용촉매와 유사한 수증기 개질 활성을 가진다.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the thermal durability characteristics of the Pt catalyst and additives used in a catalytic combustor. The catalyst used in the experiment was based on Pt (3 wt%), and a total of 12 types were prepared using a combination of additives (Ni, La, Ce, Fe, and Co). From the results, In the fresh state, the two types of combination catalysts with the highest C₃H₈ conversion were Pt_Ce (79.9%) at 500℃, and in the three types of combination catalysts, Pt_La_Ni (93.4%) at 500℃ had the best performance. Among aged catalysts at 850℃ and 8 hours, Pt-La-Ni and Pt-Ni-Ce catalysts showed the highest C₃H₈ conversion of about 71% at 500℃.

Ni/MgAl 촉매상에서 LPG의 수증기 개질반응을 반응온도 $700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$, 공간속도 $20,000h^{-1}$, 수증기/탄소 비율 $1.0{\sim}3.0$인 조건으로 대기압하에서 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 촉매들은 공침법으로 제조하였으며, 하이드로탈사이트 구조에서 Ni-MgO 구조로 변환되는 과정에서 활성금속인 니켈이 고분산되는 장점을 지니고 있다. 제조된 촉매는 함침법으로 제조된 촉매보다 활성이 잘 유지되었으며 탄소침적에 대한 내구성 또한 향상되었으나 완벽하게 해결되지는 못하였다. 따라서 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 귀금속이 modified된 Ni/MgAl 촉매를 제조하고 반응 특성을 비교하였다. Rh-Ni/MgAl 촉매는 LPG 수증기 개질 반응에서 1024시간동안 활성이 유지됨을 확인하였을 뿐만 아니라 탄소침적 또한 발생하지 않음을 확인하였다.

$Mo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3catalysts$ modified with Fe, Co, and Ni were prepared by impregnation method and catalytic activity for water gas shift reaction was examined. The optimum amount of Mo loaded for the reaction was 10 wt% $MoO_3$ to ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3.$ The catalytic activity of $MoO_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3was$ increased by modifying with Fe, Co, and Ni in the order of Co${\thickapprox}$ Ni > Fe. The optimum amounts of Co and Ni added were 3 wt% based on CoO and NiO to 10 wt% $MoO_3/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, restectively. The TPR (temperature-programmed reduction) analysis revealed that the addition of Co and Ni enganced the reducibility of the catalysts. The results of both catalytic activity and TPR experiments strongly suggest that the redox property of the catalyst is an important factor in water gas shift reaction on the sulfided Mo catalysts, which could be an evidence of oxy-sulfide redox mechanism.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) provide zero emission power sources for electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. Although significant progresses for the widespread application of electrochemical energy technology have been achieved, some drawbacks such as catalytic activity, durability, and high cost of catalysts still remain. Pt-based catalysts are regarded as the most efficient catalysts for sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). However, their prohibitive cost limits the commercialization of PEMFCs. Therefore, we proposed a NiCo@Au core shell structure as Pt-free ORR electrocatalyst in PEMFCs. NiCo alloy was synthesized as core to introduce ionization tendency and autoxidation reaction. Au as a shell was synthesized to prevent oxidation of core NiCo and increase catalytic activity for ORR. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical properties, and PEMFCs performance of the novel NiCo@Au core-shell as a catalyst for ORR in PEMFCs application. Based on results of this study, possible mechanism for catalytic of autoxidation core@anti-oxidation shell in PEMFCs is suggested.

Most of the reformer experiments have been conducted only in high-temperature operation conditions above 700℃. However, to design high efficiency solid oxide fuel cell, it is necessary to test actual reaction performance in mid-temperature (550℃) operation areas. In order to study the operation characteristics and performance of commercial reforming catalysts, a reforming performance experiment was conducted on mid-temperature. The catalysts used in this study are Ni-based FCR-4 and Ru-based RuA, RuAL. Experiments were conducted with a Steam-to-carbon ratio of 2.0 to 3.0 under gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) 2,000 to 5,000 hr-1. As a result, RuA and RuAL catalysts showed similar gas composition to the equilibrium regardless of the reforming temperature. However, the FCR-4 catalyst showed a lower hydrogen yield compared to the equilibrium under high GHSV conditions.

바이오매스 가스화 시 발생하는 타르의 개질 연구가 다양한 Ni 촉매를 이용하여 수행되었다. 바이오매스 타르의 주요 성분인 톨루엔을 이용하여 실험실 규모의 수증기개질을 수행하였다. 고정층 형태의 개질기를 이용하였고 반응온도 범위는 400-800 ℃로 변화시켰다. Ni 촉매에 증진제로 Ru (0.6 wt%)와 Mn 또는 K (1 wt%)를 적용하였다. Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 촉매가 Ni/Ru-Mn/Al₂O₃ 촉매보다 전반적으로 높은 톨루엔 개질 전환 성능을 보였으며, X-선 회절분석과 열중량분석을 통해 촉매의 안정성을 확인하였다. 실험실 규모 연구 결과를 바탕으로 모노리스와 펠렛 형태의 촉매를 제작하고 1 톤/일 규모의 바이오매스 가스화 시스템에 적용하였다. 모노리스 촉매의 경우 Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 촉매가 고온에서 특히 우수한 성능을 보였으며, Ni/Ru-Mn/Al₂O₃ 촉매는 운전 시간 경과에 의한 활성저하가 관찰되었다. 펠렛 촉매의 경우 Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 는 587 ℃에서 66.7%의 타르 전환율을 보였으며, 사용된 촉매의 재생 후 타르 개질 성능을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 촉매 중 Ni/Ru-K/Al₂O₃ 펠렛 촉매가 가장 우수한 촉매 활성과 안정성을 보였다.

Since catalyst technology is one of the promising technologies to improve the working performance of next generation energy and electronic devices, many efforts have been made to develop various catalysts with high efficiency at a low cost. However, there are remaining challenges to be resolved in order to use the suggested catalytic materials, such as platinum (Pt), gold (Au), and palladium (Pd), due to their poor cost-effectiveness for device applications. In this study, to overcome these challenges, we suggest a useful method to increase the surface area of a noble metal catalyst material, resulting in a reduction of the total amount of catalyst usage. By employing block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly and nano-transfer printing (n-TP) processes, we successfully fabricated sub-20 nm Pt line and cross-bar patterns. Furthermore, we obtained a highly ordered Pt cross-bar pattern on a Ni thin film and a Pt-embedded Ni thin film, which can be used as hetero hybrid alloy catalyst structure. For a detailed analysis of the hybrid catalytic material, we used scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), which revealed a well-defined nanoporous Pt nanostructure on the Ni thin film. Based on these results, we expect that the successful hybridization of various catalytic nanostructures can be extended to other material systems and devices in the near future.

A highly porous Ni@MIL-101catalyst for urea oxidation was synthesized by anchoring Ni into a Cr-based metal-organic framework, MIL-101, particles. The morphology, structure, and composition of as synthesized Ni@MIL-101 catalysts were characterized by X-Ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The electro-catalytic activity of the Ni@MIL-101catalysts towards urea oxidation was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. It was found that the structure of Ni@MIL-101 retained that of the parent MIL-101, featuring a high BET surface area of $916m^2g^{-1}$, and thus excellent electro-catalytic activity for urea oxidation. A $urea/H_2O_2$ fuel cell with Ni@MIL-101 as anode material exhibited an excellent performance with maximum power density of $8.7mWcm^{-2}$ with an open circuit voltage of 0.7 V. Thus, this work shows that the highly porous three-dimensional Ni@MIL-101 catalysts can be used for urea oxidation and as an efficient anode material for urea fuel cells.
