본 연구에서는 팔라듐 (Pd) 나노선으로 구성된 센서의 고감도 수소검지능력에 대해서 조사하였다. 팔라듐 나노선은 알루미늄 양극 산화막 (AAO : anodic aluminum oxide) 채널에 전기도금법을 이용하여 성장시켰으며, 수산화나트륨 수용액을 이용하여 나노선을 분리한 후 포토 리소그래피와 전자빔 리소그래피 공정 및 리프트오프 공정을 사용하여 금속나노선 수소센서를 제작하였다. 2%의 수소에서는 1.92% 의 민감도가, 0.1% 의 수소에서는 0.18% 의 민감도가 변하는 고감도 특성을 얻었으며, 이는 팔라듐 나노선의 저항은 수소의 흡착과 탈착에 의존하기 때문이다. 따라서 상온에서 고감도 수소 가스 검출을 위하여 팔라듐 나노선이 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Solvothermal treatment of late transition metal acetylacetonates in a novel medium composed either of pure acetophenone or acetophenone mixtures with amino alcohols offers a general approach to uniform hydrophilic metal nanoparticles with high crystallinity and low degree of aggregation. Both pure metal and mixed-metal particles can be accesses by this approach. The produced materials have been characterized by SEM-EDS, TEM, FTIR in the solid state and by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis in solutions. The chemical mechanisms of the reactions producing nanoparticles has been followed by NMR. Carrying out the process in pure acetophenone produces palladium metal, copper metal with minor impurity of $Cu_2O$, and NiO. The synthesis starting from the mixtures of Pd and Ni acetylacetonates with up to 20 mol% of Pd, renders in minor yield the palladium-based metal alloy along with nickel oxide as the major phase. Even the synthesis starting from a mixed solution of $Cu(acac)_2$ and $Ni(acac)_2$ produces oxides as major products. The situation is improved when aminoalcohols such as 2-aminoethanol or 2-dimethylamino propanol are added to the synthesis medium. The particles in this case contain metallic elements and pairs of individual metals (not metal alloys) when produced from mixed precursor solutions in this case.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods were grown on a palladium (Pd) activated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber where Pd activation was carried out in advance by the following dry process: palladium(II) bis(acetylacetonate), $Pd(acac)_2$ was sublimed, penetrated into the surface of PAN fiber and spontaneously reduced to Pd nanoparticles at $180^{\circ}C$ for various times under a nitrogen atmosphere. ZnO nanorod morphology was observed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the elemental composition was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The crystalline structure of ZnO nanorods was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showing Wurtzite structure consisting of hexagonal lattice. Sulfur removal characteristics were evaluated.

Downsizing electronics requires precision position control with an accuracy of sub-micron order, which demands development of ultra-fine displacive devices. Piezoelectric transducer is one of devices transferring electric field energy into mechanical energy and being capable for fine displacement control. The transducer has been widely used as fine Position control device Multilayer piezoelectric actuator, one of typical piezo-transducer, is fabricated by stacking alternatively ceramic and electrode layers several hundred times followed by cofiring process. Electrode material should be tolerable in the firing process maintaining at ceramic-sintering temperatures up to $1100{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$. Ag-Pd can be used as stable electrode material in heat treatment above $960^{\circ}C$. Besides, adding small quantity ceramic powder allow the actuator to be fabricated in a good shape by diminishing shrinkage difference between ceramic and electrode layers, resulting in avoidance of crack and delamination at and/or nearby interface between ceramic an electrode layers. This study presents synthesis of nano-oxide-added Ag/Pd powders and its feasibility to candidate material tolerable at high temperature. The powders were formed in a co-precipitation process of Ag and Pd in nano-oxide-dispersed solution where Ag and Pd precursors are melted in $HNO_3$ acid.

PdO-doped $BaZr_{0.85}Y_{0.15}O_{3-\delta}$ (BZPY) proton conductors have been proposed as applicable for intermediate temperature electrolytes for protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) because the PdO doping is effective for improving the proton conductivity of $BaZr_{0.85}Y_{0.15}O_{3-\delta}$ (BZY) with high affinity for hydrogen. In order to further improve the conductivity of BZPY, two-phase composite electrolytes consisting of a BZPY and molten carbonate were designed. Dense BZPY-based composite electrolytes were fabricated after sintering at $670^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, since molten carbonates fill the grain boundary of the porous BZPY matrix. Furthermore, BZPY/$(Li-0.5Na)_2CO_3$ composites show a significantly enhanced protonic conductivity at intermediate temperatures. This may be because easy proton transport is possible through the interface of the carbonate and oxide phase.

Nanomaterials have considerable potential to solve several key challenges in various electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells. However, the use of nanoparticles in high-temperature devices like solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is considered problematic because the nanostructured surface typically prepared by deposition techniques may easily coarsen and thus deactivate, especially when used in high-temperature redox conditions. Herein we report the synthesis of a self-regenerated Pd metal nanoparticle on the perovskite oxide anode surface for SOFCs that exhibit self-recovery from their degradation in redox cycle and $CH_4$ fuel running. Using Pd-doped perovskite, $La(Sr)Fe(Mn,Pd)O_3$, as an anode, fairly high maximum power densities of 0.5 and $0.2cm^{-2}$ were achieved at 1,073 K in $H_2$ and $CH_4$ respectively, despite using thick electrolyte support-type cell. Long-term stability was also examined in $CH_4$ and the redox cycle, when the anode is exposed to air. The cell with Pd-doped perovskite anode had high tolerance against re-oxidation and recovered the behavior of anodic performance from catalytic degradation. This recovery of power density can be explained by the surface segregation of Pd nanoparticles, which are self-recovered via re-oxidation and reduction. In addition, self-recovery of the anode by oxidation treatment was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

N2O has been found from experimental and theoretical considerations to bind on-top to the Pd(110) surface in a tilted end-on fashion via its terminal N atom. We use a frontier orbital description of the bonding interactions in the Pd-N2O system to obtain molecular insight into the catalytic mechanism of the activation of N2O by the Pd(110) surface giving rise to the formation of N2 and O on the surface. For the tilted end-on N2O binding mode, the LUMO 3π of N2O has good overlap with the Pd dσ and dπ orbitals which can serve as the electron donors. The donor-acceptor orbital overlap is favorable for electron transfer from Pd to N2O and is expected to dominate the surface reaction pathway of N2O decomposition.

In this study, ink-jet technology is applied to the emitter fabrication for surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED). The general emiiter material of SED, palladium oxide (PdO), is prepared by calcination the mixture of solvent and precursors of platinum chlorine and platinum nitrate. With controlling the precursors and solvents, the PdO is formed below $400^{\circ}C$ which is required for SED process.

고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC)는 크게 음극(anode), 양극(cathode), 전해질(electrolyte)로 구성되 있으며 연결자를 통해 직렬 또는 병렬로 연결된 형태로 발전장치 등에 활용되고 있다. 이중 연료의 산화반응을 담당하고 있는 연료전지의 음극으로 지금까지 Cobalt, Platinum, Palladium 등의 전이금속 또는 귀금속들이 사용되었지만 현재는 Nickel 또는 Nickel을 함유한 물질들 특히, Ni-YSZ 복합체가 주로 사용되고 있다. Ni-YSZ 복합체는 가격과 성능 등 여러가지 면에서 SOFC의 음극으로 사용하기에 가장 적합한 물질인데 특히 전지의 지지체 역할과 동시에 전극으로서의 역할도 병행해야하는 음극 지지형 SOFC의 경우 Ni-YSZ 복합체의 효용성을 더욱 커지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SOFC의 음극물질로 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 Ni-YSZ 복합체를 core shell 형태로 만들어 전도 path를 효율적으로 하고 그 특성을 최적화하기 위한 미세구조 및 소결 거동, 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

Modifications of graphenes have been studied for catalytic applications due to their advantages such as high surface area, conductivity and thermal stability. In this research, individual graphene oxide (GO) sheets were exfoliated from graphite using Hummers and Offeman method. Pd nano-particles were deposited on the GO surface using Pd2+ ion exchange where hydroxyl groups on the GO act as nucleation sites of Pd nanoparticles and their dispersions. The thermal treatments of the Pd-GO in H2 flow produced Pd-Graphene nanocomposites. Their catalytic performances in Sonogashira reaction were investigated. Morphological and chemical structures of the GO, Pd-GO, and Pd-Graphene were investigated using FT-IR, XRD, TEM, STEM, and XPS. The catalytic performances have been investigated using microwave reactor.
