Direct methanol fuel cell based on a proton-exchange membrane electrolyte was investigated. 60% Pt-Ru/C and 60%Pt/C catalysts were employed for methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction, respectively. Morphologies of the catalysts were investigated by x-ray power diffraction, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and transmission microscopy. Electrochemical characteristics of the catalysts were tested by using cyclic voltametry technique. I-V characteristics of the fuel cell were tested by changing methanol concentration, temperature, and Nafion type as a proton-exchange membrane electrolyte. AC impedance technique was used to investigate the electrochemical performance of the fuel cell. The performance of single cell was enhance with increasing cell temperature. High operation temperature attributed to the combined effects of the reduction of ohmic resistance and polarization. High cell voltage was obtained from the concentration of 205M methanol. With Nafion 112, a current density of $230mA/cm^2$ at 0.55V was obtained from the concentration of 2.5M methanol.

Pt-loaded carbon black for the catalyst of a PEM fuel cell was synthesized with different molar ratios of polyvinylpyrrolidone and $H_2PtCl_6$ solution to improve the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles on carbon black and decrease the size of Pt nanoparticles. From transmission electron microscopy results, Pt nanoparticles of a size of approximately 2 nm were highly dispersed when the polyvinylpyrrolidone concentration was 10mM. The electrochemical activity of the synthesized Pt/C catalysts was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, showing that the as-synthesized Pt-loaded carbon black catalyst had the best activity at a polyvinylpyrrolidone concentration of 10 mM.

Pt/C 촉매 (20, 40 wt% Pt/C)를 사용하여 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 MEA를 제조하고 각각의 촉매에서 최적의 나피온 이오노머 함량을 알아보았다. 나피온 함량에 따른 MEA의 전기화학적인 성능변화는 단위전지 성능평가, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry(CV)을 통해서 분석하였다. 나피온의 함량에 따라 전지의 활성화 분극, 옴 저항, 물질전달 저항 등의 변화가 나타났다. 이는 전극의 촉매층 내에서 발생되는 전기/이온 전도도 사이의 'trade-off'와 물질전달(물 배출과 반응가스 확산)에 의한 것이며, 대부분 활성화 분극과 물질전달 저항의 변화로 나타났다. 20 wt% Pt/C와 40 wt% Pt/C 촉매에서 최적의 나피온 함량은 각각 35 wt%와 20 wt%로 나타났다. 이는 Pt 중량비에 따른 Pt 입자간의 거리 및 촉매의 비표면적의 차이 때문에 나타난 결과이며 서로 다른 나피온 함량에서 최적의 삼상계면이 형성되는 것으로 판단된다.

다양한 비율의 Pt와 Bi를 carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R)에 담지시킨 Pt-Bi/C 촉매를 환원법을 이용하여 합성하였다. Pt와 Bi의 전구체로는 염화백금산($H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}xH_2O$)과 비스무스트리질산($Bi(NO_3)_3{\cdot}5H_2O$) 수용액을 각각 사용하였으며, 금속을 carbon에 담지하기 전, 금속물질의 분산도를 높여주기 위해 열처리와 산처리를 수행한 carbon black을 사용하였다. XRD (X-ray Diffraction) 분석과 XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 Pt-Bi/C 촉매 내에 Pt와 Bi가 소성시키기 전에는 BiPt 혹은 $Bi_2Pt$로 존재하지만 $500^{\circ}C}$에서 소성을 한 후에는 Pt 격자구조 안으로 Bi가 침투하여 alloy을 형성하는 것을 확인하였다. 합성한 전극의 메탄올 산화반응은 전기화학분석장치(Potentiostat; Princeton applied research, VSP)를 사용하여 0.5 M $CH_3OH$와 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$의 혼합수용액에서 순환전압법(cyclic voltammetry, CV)을 이용해 측정하였다. 메탄올 산화에 대한 전기화학적 촉매 활성을 평가한 결과 적절한 양의 Bi를 첨가한 경우, 메탄올 산화반응에 대한 높은 촉매활성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 메탄올 산화에 대한 활성은 전극과 전해질 사이의 안정성과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 정전압법(Chronoamperometry, CA)을 이용하여 전극의 안정성을 평가한 결과 메탄올 산화반응에 높은 활성을 나타내는 촉매일수록 전극의 안정성도 높은 것을 확인하였다.

The present work has been devoted to the catalytic reduction of $N_2O$ by $H_2$ with $Pt/SiO_2$ catalysts at very low temperatures, such as $110^{\circ}C$, and their nanoparticle sizes have been determined by using $H_2-N_2O$ titration, X-ray diffraction(XRD) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) measurements. A sample of 1.72% $Pt/SiO_2$, which had been prepared by an ion exchange method, consisted of almost atomic levels of Pt nanoparticles with 1.16 nm that are very consistent with the HRTEM measurements, while a $Pt/SiO_2$ catalyst possessing the same Pt amount via an incipient wetness technique did 13.5 nm particles as determined by the XRD measurements. These two catalysts showed a noticeable difference in the on-stream $deN_2O$ activity maintenance profiles at $110^{\circ}C$. This discrepancy was associated with the nanoparticle sizes, i.e., the $Pt/SiO_2$ catalyst with the smaller particle size was much more active for the $N_2O$ reduction. When repeated measurements of the $N_2O$ reduction with the 1.16 nm Pt catalyst at $110^{\circ}C$ were allowed, the catalyst deactivation occurred, depending somewhat on regeneration excursions.

The effect of Ce promotion over 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on the CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity was investigated in preferential CO oxidation (PrOx) to reduce the CO concentration less than 10 ppm in excess $H_2$ stream for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation method and the loading amount of Pt was fixed at 1wt%. The content of Ce promoter which has excellent oxygen storage and transfer capability due to the redox property was adjusted from 0 to 1.5wt%. Ce-promoted 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts exhibit high CO conversion and $CO_2$ selectivity at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ due to the improvement of reducibility of surface PtOx species compared with the 1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst without Ce addition. When Ce content was more than 1wt%, the catalytic activity was decreased at over $160^{\circ}C$ in PrOx because of competitive $H_2$ oxidation. As a result, 0.5wt% Ce is optimal content not only to achieve high catalytic activity and good stability at low temperatures below $150^{\circ}C$ in the presence of $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ but also to minimize the $H_2$ oxidation at high temperatures.

본 연구에서는 산성을 갖는 Fe-ZSM5를 담체로 활용하여 Pd, Pt 등 귀금속을 담지한 후, 제조 촉매의 암모니아의 선택적 산화반응 활성을 평가하였다. 이들 중 Pt/Fe-ZSM5가 Pd/Fe-ZSM5 보다 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 또한 Pt/Fe-ZSM5 촉매에서 ZSM5 구조체 내 Fe의 이온교환량을 달리한 촉매의 실험을 수행하여, 암모니아의 선택적 산화반응에 가장 우수한 활성을 보이는 최적 조성비를 탐색하였다. 그 결과, Fe의 이온교환량이 적을수록 반응 활성이 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 저온 영역인 $250^{\circ}C$에서 100%의 암모니아 전환율을 나타냈다. 이와 같이 암모니아의 선택적 산화반응에 효과적인 Fe-ZSM5 담체에 대하여, ICP-AES, BET, XRD, $NH_3$-TPD 등과 같은 특성 분석을 수행하여 제조 촉매의 구조와 물성이 반응활성에 미치는 영향을 검토해보았다.

This study is concerned with the oxidation of carbon monoxide on platinum and platinum-palladium catalysts. Catalysts were made by the impregnation method and flow reactor was used in the catalytic reaction. As for the mixed gases, carbon monoxide concentration varied from 1 to 4% and that of oxygen from 1 to 4%. $N_2$ was used as carrier gas and GHSV varied from 24, 000 $h^{-1} to 60, h^{-1}$. The temperature range was from 200 to $600^\circ$C. It was also taken into consideration that the heat and mass transfer resistance of our catalysts was negligible in the study. Experimental results showed that platinum-palladium catalyst was about 1.5-3.9% superior to platinum catalyst in conversion yield. When we used platinum-palladium catalyst, we observed that carbon monoxide oxidation was found to be 1 st order with respect to carbon monoxide concentration. Activation energy of the catalyst was 23.5 kcal/mol.

Na promoted Pt/$CeO_2$ catalysts with various Na amounts (1, 2, and 3wt%) have been applied to water gas shift reaction (WGS) at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 45515 $h^{-1}$. 1wt%Pt-2wt%Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst exhibited the highest WGS activity at $240^{\circ}C$ among the catalysts prepared in this study. In addition, 1wt%Pt-2wt%Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst showed relatively stable activity with time on stream. The high activity/stability of 1wt%Pt-2wt%Na/$CeO_2$ catalyst was correlated to its easier reducibility and higher oxygen storage capacity (OSC). As a result, 2wt% Na promoted Pt/$CeO_2$ can be a promising candidate catalyst for the single stage WGS, which requires high intrinsic activity at very high GHSV.
