Nanometer-sized noble metals can trap and guide sunlight for enhanced absorption of light based on surface plasmon that is beneficial for generation of hot electron flows. A pulse of high kinetic energy electrons (1-3 eV), or hot electrons, in metals can be generated after surface exposure to external energy, such as in the absorption of light or in exothermic chemical processes. These energetic electrons are not at thermal equilibrium with the metal atoms. It is highly probable that the correlation between hot electron generation and surface plasmon can offer a new guide for energy conversion systems [1-3]. We show that hot electron flow is generated on the modified gold thin film (<10 nm) of metal-semiconductor (TiO2) Schottky diodes by photon absorption, which is amplified by localized surface plasmon resonance. The short-circuit photocurrent obtained with low energy photons (lower than bandgap of TiO2, ~3.1-3.2 eV) is consistent with Fowler's law, confirming the presence of hot electron flows. The morphology of the metal thin film was modified to a connected gold island structure after heating to 120, 160, 200, and 240$^{\circ}C$. These connected island structures exhibit both a significant increase in hot electron flow and a localized surface plasmon with the peak energy at 550-570 nm, which was separately characterized with UV-Vis [4]. The result indicates a strong correlation between the hot electron flow and localized surface plasmon resonance with possible application in hot electron based solar cells and photodetectors.

본 연구에서는, HCHO를 상온에서 제거하기 위한 귀금속계열의 촉매 연구를 수행하였다. 제조된 촉매들은 XRD, FT-IR, CO-chemisorption을 이용하여 특성분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, Pt와 Pd를 활성금속으로 하여 제조한 환원촉매가 상온조건에서 우수한 HCHO 산화 능력을 보였으며, 지지체의 경우 환원성지지체로 잘 알려진 $TiO_2$를 이용하여 촉매를 제조하였을 때 높은 반응활성을 나타냈다. 또한, 환원시간이 길어짐에 따라 활성금속의 응집현상으로 인해 반응활성의 저하를 나타내었으며 환원촉매의 경우 상온조건에서 HCHO 흡착 및 탈착 특성이 우수함을 확인하였다.

The prepartion of various metal oxide nanostructures via hydrothermal method, hydrolysis, thermal evaporation and electrospinning and their applications to chemoresistive sensors have been investigated. Hierarchical and hollow nanostructures prepared by hydrothermal method and hydrolysis showed the high response and fast responding kinetics on account of their high gas accessibility. Thermal evaporation and electrospinning provide the facile routes to prepare catalyst-loaded oxide nanowires and nanofibers, respectively. The loading of noble metal and metal oxide catalyst were effective to achieve rapid response/recovery and selective gas detection.

In order to estimate the wettability of the borosilicate glasses with different composition on the noble metals of gold and silver, the measurements of the contact angle between the solid and the liquid were made at various temperatures and holding times using the sessil-drop method. The wetting behavior and the adhesion of the phases were strongly influenced by the thermal or the physical characteristics of the materials. The dependence of wetting angle ($\theta$) on the holding time (t) could be represented by the relation of $\theta$=a.tb, whereby the wettability of the systems was quantitatively compared. Also with increasing content of borosilicate glass in the glass-gold matrix composite, the tensile strength was decreased whereas the elastic modulus was increased.

Ternary (Mo-Ru-Pd) and binary (Mo-Ru, Mo-Pd) alloys have been prepared using an Ar arc melting furnace. Mo and the noble metals, Ru and Pd, are the constituents of metallic insoluble residues, which were found in the early days of post-irradiation studies on uranium oxide fuels. In the present study, the structure of the alloys was evaluated using a powder X-ray diffractometer. Unit cell parameters were determined by least squares refinements of powder X-ray diffraction data. Scanning electron microscopic analyses of the surface of the alloys indicated that surface morphology was dependent on the crystallographic structure as well as its composition. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of the alloys showed evidence of superconducting transition from 3 to 9.2 K. Among the ternary and binary alloys, the ${\sigma}-phase$ showed the highest superconducting transition temperature,~9.2 K.

Roll bonding (RB) process of bi-metal laminates as a new noble method of bonding has been widely used in the production of bimetal laminates. In the present study, asymmetric roll bonding process as a new noble method has been presented to produce Al/Cu bimetallic laminates with the thickness reduction ratios 10%, 20% and 30% together with mismatch rolling diameter ($\frac{R_2}{R_1}$) ratio 1:1, 1:1.1 and 1:1.2. ABAQUS as a finite element simulation software was used to model the deformation of samples. The main attention in this study focuses on the bonding properties of Al/Cu samples. The effect of the $\frac{R_2}{R_1}$ ratios was investigated to improve the bond strength. During the simulation, for samples produced with $\frac{R_2}{R_1}=1:1.2$, the vertical plastic strain of samples was reach the maximum value with a high quality bond. Moreover, the peeling surface of samples after the peeling test was investigated by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

최근 수소 저장물질로서 금속-유기 골격체(metal-organic frameworks; MOFs)가 주목을 받고 있으나 상온에서의 수소 저장성능이 낮은 문제점을 가지고 있어 이를 개선하기 위한 노력들이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 MOF-5 및 제올라이트 Y로부터 합성된 마이크로다공성 카본을 합성하여 상온 및 약 80 bar에서 수소 저장성능을 측정하였으며, 그 결과 이들의 수소 저장성능은 각각 0.77 및 0.59 wt%였다. 이에 두 물질의 수소 저장성능을 향상시키기 위하여 5 wt% 백금을 각각의 물질에 담지시켜 백금이 없는 물질에 비하여 1.21 내지 1.25배의 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편 수소 spillover 현상을 활용하기 위하여 MOF-5 및 Pt/마이크로다공성 카본을 sucrose와 함께 탄화시킨 결과, 최종 하이브리드 물질이 상온 및 약 82 bar에서 0.93 wt%의 수소 저장성능을 보였으며, 이는 백금에 의하여 흡착된 수소 원자가 MOF-5 및 마이크로다공성 카본으로 이동하여 저장되는 것으로 해석된다.

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.

KAERI에서는 파이로프로세싱에서 발생하는 금속폐기물의 부피 및 무게 감량을 위해 고방사성 장반감기 핵종을 포함하는 anode sludge내 NM의 고화매질로써 폐피복관과 첨가금속을 재활용하는 연구를 진행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Cr 함량을 조절한 Zr-17Cr-8NM, Zr-22Cr-8NM, Zr-27Cr-8NM 합금을 유도용융을 통해 제조하였고, 전기화학적 부식시험을 실시하여 부식특성을 평가하였다. 모든 조성에서 기존 연구 중인 Zr계 합금고화체 조성보다 우수한 부식특성을 나타냈다. 또한 Zr-22Cr-8NM 시편의 부식시험 후 침출용액 조성 분석 결과, 500 mV 전압 조건 이하에서는 NM 침출이 없었고 이를 통해 우수한 화학적 안정성을 갖는 합금고화체 조성을 확보하였다.
