Fossil fuels have been main energy source to people. However, enormous amount of CO₂ was emitted over the world , resulting in global climate crisis today. Recently, solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) is getting attention as an effective way for producing H₂, a clean energy resource for the future. Also, SOEC could be applicable to reverse water-gas shift reaction process due to its high-temperature operating condition. Here, SOEC system was utilized for both H₂ production and CO₂ reduction process, allowing product gas composition change by controlling operating conditions.

Reverse-Water-Gas-Shift reaction (RWGSR) was carried out over the ZnO, $Al_2O_3,\;and\;ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalysts at the temperature range from 400 to 700 ℃. The ZnO showed good specific reaction activity but this catalyst was deactivated. All the catalysts except the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst (850 ℃) showed low stability for the RWGSR and was deactivated at the reaction temperature of 600 ℃. The $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at 850 ℃ was stable during 210 hrs under the reaction conditions of 600 ℃ and 150,000 GHSV, showing CO selectivity of 100% even at the pressure of 5 atm. The high stability of the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst (850 ℃) was attributed to the prevention of ZnO reduction by the formation of $ZnAl_2O_4$ spinel structure. The spinel structure of $ZnAl_2O_4$ phase in the $ZnO/Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at 850 ℃ was confirmed by XRD and electron diffraction.

이 연구는 환원 온도 변화가 코발트-망간(CM) 기반 촉매의 구조와 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하며, 이산화탄소(CO₂)의 직접 수소화 반응에서 촉매의 역할에 중점을 두고 있다. CM 촉매는 350 ℃의 환원 온도에서 CO₂를 장쇄 탄화수소로 성공적으로 전환하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이러한 효율은 촉매의 코어-쉘 구조가 제공하는 최적의 조건에 기인하며, 이는 역수성가스전환(Reverse Water-Gas Shift, RWGS)과 피셔-트롭쉬(Fischer-Tropsch, FT) 반응을 모두 효과적으로 반응한다. 그러나 환원 온도가 섭씨 600 ℃까지 상승하면 이러한 효과적인 반응 과정이 방해받아 메탄으로 선택성이 전환된다. 이러한 변화는 고온에서 촉매의 표면이 과도하게 환원되어 RWGS 부위가 감소하고 결과적으로 CO 생성이 억제되기 때문에 발생한다. 이러한 연구 결과는 코발트 기반 촉매의 설계 및 최적화에서 환원 온도를 제어하는 것이 중요하다는 점을 강조하며 환원 온도조절을 통한 RWGS와 FT 반응 간의 균형 잡힌 상호 작용을 유지하는 것이 중요하다.

다양한 조촉매가 첨가된 $Pt/TiO_2$ 촉매 및 순수 Pt계 촉매의 RWGS 반응에 대한 특성과 성능에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 지지체 및 활성금속 종류에 의해 RWGS 반응 성능이 크게 영향 받음을 확인하였고, $Pt/TiO_2$ 촉매가 가장 우수한 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다. $CO_2$ 주입 농도별 실험 및 열역학적 평형 전환율 평가를 통해 $Pt/TiO_2$ 촉매의 성능을 객관적으로 평가할 수 있었고, 상용촉매 대비 우수한 성능을 보임을 관찰하였다. 조촉매로 첨가한 Ca와 Na는 촉매성능을 증진시킬 수 있었으며, XPS 분석을 통해 표면 활성점의 전자밀도가 성능과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 확인하였다.

Kinetic and effectiveness factors for methanol steam reforming using commercial copper-containing catalysts in a plug flow reactor were investigated over the temperature ranges of $180-250^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. The selectivity of $CO_2$/$H_2$ was almost 100%, and CO products were not observed under reaction conditions employed in this work. It was indicated that $CO_2$ was directly produced and CO was formed via the reverse water gas shift reaction after methanol steam reforming. The intrinsic kinetics for such reactions were well described by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model based on the dual-site mechanism. The six parameters in this model, including the activation energy of 103kJ/mol, were estimated from diffusion-free data. The significant effect of internal diffusion was observed for temperature higher than $230^{\circ}C$ or particle sizes larger than 0.36mm. In the diflusion-limited case, this model combined with internal effectiveness factors was also found to be good agreement with experimental data.

High temperature co-electrolysis of H₂O-CO₂ mixtures using solid oxide cells has attracted attention as promising CO₂ utilization technology for production of syngas (H₂/CO), feedstock for E-fuel synthesis. For direct supply to E-fuel production such as hydrocarbon and methanol, the outlet gas ratio (H₂/CO/CO₂) of co-electrolysis should be controlled. In this work, current voltage characteristic test and product gas analysis were carried out under various reaction conditions which could attain proper syngas ratio.

Methyl alcohol is one of the basic intermediates in the chemical industry and is also being used as a fuel additive and as a clean burning fuel. In this study, conversion of carbon dioxide to methyl alcohol was investigated using catalytic chemical methods. Ceramic monoliths (M) with $400cell/in^2$ were used as catalyst supports. Monolith-supported CuO-ZnO catalysts were prepared by wash-coat method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by using ICP analysis, TEM images and XRD patterns. The catalytic activity for carbon dioxide hydrogenation to methyl alcohol was investigated using a flow-type reactor under various reaction temperature, pressure and contact time. In the preparation of monolith-supported CuO-ZnO catalysts by wash-coat method, proper concentration of precursors solution was 25.7% (w/v). The mixed crystal of CuO and ZnO was well supported on monolith. And it was known that more CuO component may be supported than ZnO component. Conversion of carbon dioxide was increased with increasing reaction temperature, but methyl alcohol selectivity was decreased. Optimum reaction temperature was about $250^{\circ}C$ under 20 atm because of the reverse water gas shift reaction. Maximum yield of methyl alcohol over CuO-ZnO/M catalyst was 5.1 mol% at $250^{\circ}C$ and 20 atm.
