Fabrication of heterogeneous catalysts using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) has recently been attracting attention of surface chemists and physicists. In this talk, I will present recent results about structures and chemical activities of various catalysts prepared by ALD, particularly focusing on Ni-based catalysts. Ni has been considered as potential catalysts for $CO_2$ reforming of methane (CRM); however, Ni often undergoes rapid decrease in catalytic activity with time, and therefore, application of Ni as catalysts for CRM has been regarded as difficult so far. Deactivation of Ni catalysts during CRM reaction is from either coke formation on Ni surface or sintering of Ni particles during reaction. Two different strategies have been used for enhancing stability of Ni-based catalysts; $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were deposited on micrometer-size Ni particles by ALD, which turned out to reduce coke formation on Ni surfaces. Ni nanoparticles deposited by ALD on mesoporous silica showed high activity and long-term stability from CRM without coke deposition and sintering during CRM reaction. Ni-based catalysts have been also used for oxidation of toluene, which is one of the most notorious gases responsible for sick-building syndrome. It was shown that onset-temperature of Ni catalysts for toluene oxidation is as low as $120^{\circ}C$. At $250\circ}C$, total oxidation of toluene to $CO_2$ with a 100% conversion was found.

본 연구에서는 $Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매의 수증기 개질반응 및 표면 특성을 조사하였다. 조촉매로써 선정된 Mo를 담지하여 제조한 Ni-Mo계 촉매를 Ni계 촉매와 반응활성 비교결과 효율증진 인자를 확인할 수 있다. $H_2$-TPR 및 XPS 분석을 통하여 효율이 저하되는 특성을 확인하였다. 수증기 개질반응 long run 실험 후 촉매표면에 침적된 carbon의 침적특성 및 결합구조, 기화특성을 확인하기 위하여 $O_2$-TPO 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 수증기 개질반응에서 Ni과 강한 상호작용으로 결합하여 촉매의 반응활성 저하를 일으키는 graphitic carbon 종 형성을 억제함으로 Ni-Mo계 촉매에서 내구성이 증진됨을 확인할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 소량의 네오디뮴이 첨가된 니켈 촉매에 대하여 티오펜 탈황 반응을 조사하였으며, 촉매 제조 방법에 따라, 공침법으로 제조된 비담지 NdNi 촉매, 비담지 금속간 화합물 $NdNi_5$ 촉매, 활성탄에 담지된 NdNi 촉매 등이 연구되었다. 공침법으로 제조된 비담지 NdNi 촉매의 경우 소량의 네오디뮴이 첨가되면 티오펜 탈황 반응성이 급격히 증가하여 니켈 촉매에서 네오디뮴의 역할이 아주 큼을 알 수 있다. 비담지 금속간 화합물 $NdNi_5$ 촉매는 소성, 황화 처리의 과정을 거치면서 금속간 화합물이 파괴되고 산화물, 황화물로 각각 변하였다. 비담지 촉매의 경우 티오펜 탈황 반응성은 촉매의 표면적으로 설명이 가능하고 네오디뮴의 역할은 니켈 촉매의 표면적을 높게 유지시키는 구조 촉진제(structural promoter)로 작용한다. 니켈의 분산도가 다른, 금속간 화합물 $NdNi_5$ 촉매, 공침법으로 제조된 NdNi 촉매, 활성탄에 담지 된 NdNi 촉매 순으로 니켈을 기준으로 할 때 티오펜 탈황 반응활성이 각각 10배씩 증가하였다.

Steam reforming (SR) of glycerol, a main by-product of manufacturing process of bio-diesel, for the production of hydrogen was investigated over the Ni-based catalysts. The Ni-based catalysts were prepared by an impregnation method, and characterized by $N_2$ physisorption, CO chemisorption, XRD and TEM techniques. It was found that the Ni/${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed higher conversion and catalytic stability for the carbon formation than the other catalysts in the steam reforming of glycerol under the tested conditions. The results suggest that the steam reforming of glycerol over modified Ni/${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst minimized carbon formation can be applied in hydrogen station for fuel-cell powered vehicles and fuel processor for stationary and portable fuel cells.

Nickel-based bimetallic catalysts were investigated for use in direct borohydride/hydrogen peroxide fuel cells. For anode and cathode, PdNi and AuNi catalysts were used, respectively. Nickel-based bimetallic catalysts have been investigated through various methods, such as inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The performance of the catalysts was evaluated through fuel cell tests. The maximum power density of the fuel cell with nickel-based bimetallic catalysts was found to be higher than that of the fuel cell with the monometallic catalysts. The nickel-based bimetallic catalysts also exhibited a stable performance up to 60 minutes.

CO2 reforming of methane (CRM) based on Ni catalysts was studied using temperature programmed reaction (TPR). The onset temperature of the CRM reaction was increased in a repeated TPR experiments. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy showed formation of graphite structures on Ni during CRM reaction, which deactivate Ni-surfaces. Attempts were made for inhibiting deactivation of Ni surfaces and reducing onset-temperature of the CRM reaction by various surface modification techniques, which will be presented in this poster.

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 $Ce^{3-}$.

공액 리놀레산 메틸에스테르는 불균일계 촉매인 니켈 담지 제올라이트계 촉매를 이용하여 리놀레산 메틸에스테르의 이성질화를 통해 합성할 수 있다. 니켈 담지 제올라이트계 촉매는 HY 제올라이트로부터 KCl 수용액을 이용해 이온교환하여 KY 제올라이트를 합성한 뒤 함침법을 통해 니켈을 담지하여 합성하였다. 합성된 촉매는 수소를 이용하여 전처리하여 공액화 반응에 사용하였다. 그 결과 낮은 온도에서 HY 촉매는 높은 전환율을 나타내었지만 공액화 반응에 대해 낮은 선택도를 나타내었다. KY 촉매는 낮은 온도에서 상대적으로 낮은 전환율을 나타내었으나 높은 온도에서 HY 촉매와 유사한 전환율을 보였으며, 낮은 온도에서도 공액화 반응에 대해 높은 선택도를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 반응 온도 $220^{\circ}C$에서 4 wt% Ni/KY720을 이용하여 가장 높은 63.4%의 수율을 얻었다.

$Mo/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3catalysts$ 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.

$TiO_2$-Ni inverse catalysts were prepared using atomic layer deposition (ALD) process and catalytic $CO_2$ reforming of methane (CRM) reaction over catalysts (either bare Ni or $TiO_2$ coated-Ni particles) were performed using a continuous flow reactor at $800^{\circ}C$. $TiO_2$-Ni inverse catalyst showed higher catalytic reactivity at initial stage of CRM reactions at $800^{\circ}C$ comparing to bare Ni catalysts. Moreover, catalytic activity of $TiO_2$/Ni catalyst was kept high during 13 hrs of the CRM reactions at $800^{\circ}C$, whereas deactivation of bare Ni surface was started within 1hr under same conditions. The results of surface analysis using SEM, XPS, and Raman showed that deposition of graphitic carbon was effectively suppressed in a presence of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles on Ni surface, thereby improving catalytic reactivity and stability of $TiO_2$/Ni catalytic systems. We suggest that utilizing decoration effect of metal catalyst with oxide nanoaprticles is of great potential to develop metal-based catalysts with high stability and reactivity.
