This research project focused on the production of hydrogen through ammonia decomposition reactions while investigating how the reactivity of this process varies when employing different catalysts. Several metal oxide supports (Al₂O₃, La₂O₃, CeO₂) were utilized as catalysts, with active metals from both the transition metal group (Co, Ni, Fe, Cr, Cu) and the noble metal group (Ru, Rh, Pd, Pt) impregnated onto these supports. Furthermore, the study examined how the reactivity evolves with changes in reaction temperature when employing the prepared catalysts. Additionally, the research delved into the distinctive activation energies associated with each of the catalysts. In this research, In the noble metal catalyst system, the order of high activity for ammonia decomposition reaction to produce hydrogen is Ru > Rh > Pt ≈ Pd. In the transition metal catalyst system, the order of high activity is Co > Ni > Fe > Cr > Cu.

고분자전해질 연료전지는 $60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ 운전 온도에서 개질 가스에 약간의 일산화탄소만 있어도 백금 표면에 CO가 강하게 흡착하여 촉매기능을 방해한다. 본 연구에서는 일산화탄소를 산화시키기 위해 Ru/C 층(CO 필터)을 Pt/C 층과 가스 확산층(GDL) 사이에 위치 시켰다. Ru/C 필터는 PEMFC anode가 좋은 CO 내성을 갖게 했으나 Ru/C 필터 두께로 인한 물질전달 저항과 전하 전달 저항증가에 의한 단위전지 성능저하가 0.6 V에서 약 10% 있었다. 고분자막의 열화는 PEMFC 수명을 단축시키는 주요 원인이 되고 있다. 막 내구성은 전극의 촉매 종류에 영향을 받을 수 있다. 가속실험결과 Ru/C 촉매가 불소유출 속도를 향상시킴을 보임으로써 Ru/C 촉매 첨가가 PEMFC 수명을 단축시킬 수 있음을 보였다.

The bimodal porous carbons were synthesized by using imprinting method with templates of SBA-15 particle and silica sphere and applied as supporting materials for the electro-catalyst of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). The silica spheres with diameter size of 100 nm and SBA-15 particle having 200 nm -250 nm diameter and 700 nm -900 nm length were synthesized in this work. The bimodal porous carbons (S100) were prepared by using the silica spheres and SBA-15 as templates and mesophase pitch as a carbon source. The PtRu nanoparticle of ca. 1.9 nm were supported on the bimodal porous carbon support and the resulting PtRu/S100 catalysts was tested by the cyclic voltammetry. The use of bimodal porous carbon showed in comparable electro-catalytic activities with commercial catalyst. Though unclear effects of bimodal porosity of supports could be obtained in the scope of this study, morphological advantage in electrical conductivity can be considered on the electro-catalytic activity.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as high-temperature fuel cells, have various advantages. In some merits of SOFCs, high temperature operation can lead to the capability for internal reforming, providing fuel flexibility. SOFCs can directly use CH4 and CO as fuels with sufficient steam feeds. However, hydrocarbons heavier than CH4, such as ethylene, ethane, and propane, induce carbon deposition on the Ni-based anodes of SOFCs. In the case of the ethylene steam reforming reaction on a Ni-based catalyst, the rate of carbon deposition is faster than among other hydrocarbons, even aromatics. In the reformates of heavy hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, kerosene and JP-8), the concentration of ethylene is usually higher than other low hydrocarbons such as methane, propane and butane. It is importatnt that ethylene in the reformate is removed for stlable operation of SOFCs. A new methodology, termed post-reforming was introduced for removing low hydrocarbons from the reformate gas stream. In this work, activity tests of some post-reforming catalysts, such as CGO-Ru, CGO-Ni, and CGO-Pt, are investigated. CGO-Pt catalyst is not good for removing ethylene due to low conversion of ethylene and low selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation. The other hand, CGO-Ru and CGO-Ni catalysts show good ethylene conversion, and CGO-Ni catalyst shows the best reaction selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation.

Agglomeration of catalysts is known as one of the major degradation mechanisms. Reforming of liquid fuel, which requires high temperature over $800^{\circ}C$, accelerates agglomeration of catalysts. In this work, The effects of agglomeration on catalysts activity in partial oxidation reforming conditions were investigated. Metal supported catalysts(Pt-CGO, Ru-CGO) were compared to perovskite-structured catalysts(NECS-P1, NECS-P2). High thermal stability of perovskite-structured catalysts was reported. Micro-reactor installed in electric furnace was used. its Temperature was raised from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ to accelerate agglomeration effect. To measure rate of agglomeration, BET analysis and CO pulse chemisorption were conducted on catalysts exposed to $1100^{\circ}C$. Metal supported catalysts showed degradation at $1000^{\circ}C$ and The rates were different according to metal supported. On the other hand perovskite-structured catalysts showed no degradation at $1000^{\circ}C$.

Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) have gained much attention as promising energy conversion devices due to their ability to utilize alcohol as a fuel source. In this regard, Molybdenum-based electrocatalysts (Mo-ECs) have emerged as a substitution for expensive Pt and Ru-based co-catalyst electrode materials in DAFCs, owing to their unique electrochemical properties useful for alcohol oxidation. The catalytic activity of Mo-ECs displays an increase in alcohol oxidation current density by several folds to 1000-2000 mA mg_Pt^-1, compared to commercial Pt and PtRu catalysts of 10-100 mA mg_Pt^-1. In addition, the methanol oxidation peak and onset potential have been significantly reduced by 100-200 mV and 0.5-0.6 V, respectively. The performance of Mo-ECs in both acidic and alkaline media has shown the potential to significantly reduce the Pt loading. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the bifunctional mechanism involved in the oxidation of alcohols and factors affecting the electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohol, such as synthesis method, structural properties, and catalytic support materials. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of Mo-ECs for DAFCs anode materials are discussed. This in-depth review serves as valuable insight toward enhancing the performance and efficiency of DAFC by employing Mo-ECs.

알루미나에 담지한 귀금속 촉매를 이용하여 1.2-dichloroethane의 산화분해반응을 수행하였다. 실험결과 전환율은 Ru > Pt > Pd $${\sim_=}$$ Rh 순으로 높게 나타났으나, 완전산화 반응이 일어날 때의 주생성물인 $CO_2$로의 전환율 및 선택도를 기준으로 활성을 비교할 때 Pt/alumina가 Ru/alumina보다 활성이 높게 나타났다. $CO_2$ 및 vinyl chloride가 반응 주생성물로 검출되었는데, 반응 생성물 분포로부터 1.2-dichloroethane의 분해반응 경로는 1단계로 dehydrochlorination에 의해 vinyl chloride가 생성된 후 2단계로 vinyl chloride가 $CO_2$로 oxidation됨을 알 수 있었다. 염소를 포함하고 있는 반응 주생성물인 HCl의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 반응물에 HCl을 첨가하여 반응을 수행하였는데 $300^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 HCl이 촉매 표면에 흡착함에 따라 표면의 산도를 증가시켜 1.2-dichloroethane의 전환율은 증가하지만 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 HCl과 촉매 표면과의 상호작용이 약해져 전환율에는 큰 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 촉매 표면에 가역적으로 흡착된 HCl은 1.2-dichloroethane의 $CO_2$로의 완전산화 반응을 방해함을 확인하였다.

PtRu catalyst is most widely used as anode catalyst for a direct methanol fuel cell(DMFC). To promote the efficiency of the catalysts, it Is important to increase the triple phase boundary. In this study, we have tried to increase the triple phase boundaries in preparing electrocatalysts of the fuel cells, based on the process of grafting a proton-conducting agent onto the catalyst This grafted proton-conducting agent can act as an ionomer like Nafion, currently widely used ionomer. First, we have prepared the 80wt% PtRu/Ketjen Black electrocatalyst by an improved colloidal method. And, we have grafted methylsulfonate groups $(-CH_2SO_3H)$ into the catalyst as proton-conducting agents. As results of cyclic voltammety and single cell test of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), we can conclude that the activity of the grafted electrocatalysts is superior to that of conventional ones, in performance of DMFCs. For our further study, we will investigate the optimum ratio of catalyst/grafted proton conduct Ing agent with maximum performance of a DMFC.

추진제로써 아산화질소를 활용하기 위해 아산화질소의 촉매 분해 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 아산화질소 분해 반응을 위한 고성능 촉매를 선정하기 위해 Pt, Ir, Ru 촉매를 합성하였다. 촉매 합성을 위해 각각의 촉매 전구체를 함침법을 이용하여 $Al_2O_3$ 지지체에 담지하였다. 제조된 촉매는 관형 반응기를 사용하여 공간속도와 반응온도에 따른 $N_2O$ 전환율을 가스 분석을 통해 측정하였다. 또한 촉매 내구성을 판단하기 위해 $800^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 반응한 후 촉매 유실량을 측정하였다. $N_2O$ 전환율은 공간속도가 낮을수록 반응온도가 높을수록 높았고, Ru/$Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 낮은 온도에서 가장 높은 $N_2O$ 전환율을 보였고 내구성도 가장 우수하였다.
