PtRuW/C catalysts were prepared with the different molar ratios of Pt : Ru : W and their compositions were analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The uniform distribution of particles was observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An average crystalline size of 3.5~5.5 nm was calculated based on x-ray diffraction (XRD) data. The electrochemical properties such as electrochemically active surface areas, current densities, specific activities and poisoning rates, were analyzed via CO stripping, linear sweep voltammetry and chronoamperometry. From the analysis, we observed that ternary alloy catalysts, except $PtRu_2W_2/C$, have higher current densities, specific activities and stabilities than those of commercial binary catalysts. Among all in-house catalysts, Pt5Ru4W/C showed the highest specific activity of $121.05mA{\cdot}m^{-2}$ and the lowest poisoning rate of $0.01%{\cdot}s^{-1}$.

RuOx thin films were fabricated by the method of liquid delivery MOCVD using Ru(C$_{8}$ $H_{13}$ $O_2$)$_3$ as the precursor and their thermal effects and conductivity were investigated. Ru films deposited at 25$0^{\circ}C$ were annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 1min with Ar, $N_2$ or N $H_3$ ambient. The changes of the micro-structure, the surface morphology and the electrical resistivity of the Ru films after annealing were studied. Ar gas was more effective than $N_2$ and N $H_3$ gases as an ambient gas for the post annealing of the Ru films, because of smaller resistivity and denser grains. The X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate that the Ru $O_2$ phase and the silicidation are not observed regardless of the ambient gases. The minimum resistivity of the Ru film is found to have the value of 26.35 $\mu$Ω-cm in Ar ambient. Voids were formed at Ru/TiN interface of the Ru layer after annea1ing in $N_2$ ambient. The $N_2$ gas generated due to the oxidation of the TiN layer accumulated at the Ru/TiN interface, forming bubbles; consequently, the stacked film may peel off the Ru/TiN interface.e.

RuO2 thin film has reasonably good conductivity and stiffness and it is thought to substitute for the cantilever beam made up of Pt and Si3N4 double layers in microactuators. Therefore, anisotopic Si etching was performed using RuO2 thin film as a mask layer in 25 wt. % TMAH water solution. In the etching temperature ranging from 6$0^{\circ}C$ to 75$^{\circ}C$, the etch rates of all the crystallographic directions increased linearly as the etching temperature increased. The etch rate ratio(selectivity) of [111]/[100] which varied from 0.08 to 0.14, was not sensitive to temperature. The activation energies for [110] direction, [100] direction and [111] direction were 0.50, 0.66 and 1.04eV, respectively. RuO2 cantilever beam with a clean surface was formed at the etching temperatures of 6$0^{\circ}C$ and $65^{\circ}C$. But the damages due to formation of pin holes on RuO2 surface were observed beyond 7$0^{\circ}C$. The tensile stress of RuO2 thin films caused the cantilever bending upward. As a result, it was demonstrated that the formation of conducting oxide RuO2 cantilever beam which can replace the role of an electrode and supporting layer could be possible by TMAH solution.

SiC는 wide bandgap 물질로서 그 material properties로 인하여, high tmperature, high power, high frequency영역으로의 사용이 기대되는 물질이다. 따라서 SiC에 대한 기본적인 연구와 더불어, 그 소자 제작 및 응용에의 연구가 절실한 시점이다. 이에, SiC 기본적인 소자중 하나인 Schottky diode에 대해 연구하였다. 본 논문은 Schottky contact 물질로써 현재까지 연구가 미비한 Ru을 사용하였다. Ru은 Pt 계열물질로써, 다른 metal에 비하여 열역학적으로 안정하며, 또한 그의 산소 화합물인 RuO2는 다른 oxide에 비하여 전도성 이 높은 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 Ru-SiC diode는 이러한 측면에서 연구할 만한 가치가 있다.

Electrodes using for the anode electrode of direct methanol fuel cell with Pt/C and Pt/Ru/C catalyst were prepared and characterized by SEM, TEM, thermal analysis and electrochemical analysis. The half cell tests were carried out with 1 M $H_2SO_4$ electrolyte and 1 M $CH_3OH$ in order to evaluate the electrode performance. The employed electrochemical methods were cyclic vol-tammetry and potentiodynamic polarization experiments. It was found that 20 w% polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content in catalyst showed the best performance due to the best platinum utilization on PTFE-containing catalyst layer. It was found that Pt/Ru/C binary catalyst inhibited the poisoning of anode electrode showing improved performance compared to the Pt/C catalyst by the adsorption of oxygen containing species on the electrode surface at same time. The apparent activation energy for methanol oxidation on the Pt/Ru/C and Pt/C catalyst layer was 11.60 kJ/mol and 26.85 kJ/mol, respectively.

용액분무법으로 RuO2 박막을 석영 기판위에 성장시켰다. RuO2 박막의 결정구조는 정방 구조이 며 격자상수 a0=4.508 A, c0=3.092 A 이였다. RuO2 박막은 금속성 전도성을 나타냈다. RuO2박마의 광흡 수도는 후열처리함에 따라 증가하였고 박막의 광흡수도의 최소값은 후열처리 온도에 의존하지 않으며 에너지로 환산하면 ∼2.0eV로 거의 일정하였다. RuO2 박막의 후열처리의 온도와 후열처리 분위기가 기 판위에 성장된 RuO2 박막의 표면형태 grain 크기 grain 경계폭 전기적특성등에 영향을 미쳤다. RuO2 박 막이 실험실내의 공기중에 노출됨으로서 시료의 표면에 S와 C가 물리 흡착되었으며 sputtering 시간이 증가함에 따라 Ar+ 이온 빔의 충겨으로 RuO2가 부분적으로 환원되어 O원자의 피크 대 피크 높이가 감 소하여 O/Ru 의피크 높이의 비가 낮게 관측되었다.

The paramagnetic organoruthenium(III) complexes $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuCl_2(PR_3) (PR_3 = PMe_3,\;PEt_3,\;PiPr_3,\;PCy_3,\;PMe_2Ph,\;PMePh_2,\;PPh_3,\;P(p-C_6H_4CH_3)_3$, DPPE, DPPB, Py) (2a∼2k) were synthesized by the reaction of $[({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuCl_2]_2$ (1) with 1 equivalent of the corresponding phosphines $(PR_3)$. The effective magnetic moment ((${\mu}_{eff} = 1.65∼2.07 B.M.$)) derived from the magnetic susceptibility measurements of the complexes (2a∼2k) were consistent with the presence of a "single" unpaired electron in the molecule. Treatment of dichlororuthenium (III) complex ({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuCl_2(PR_3)$ (2) (i) with KBr in acetone afforded the dibromoruthenium (III) complex $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuBr_2(PR_3) (PR_3 = PPh_3)$, (ii) with sodium amalgam in diethylether led to the bis(phosphine) derivatives $({eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuCl(PR_3)_2 (PR_3 = PMe_3,\;PMePh_2)$, and (iii) with carbonmonoxide gave to the carbonyl derivatives $({\eta}^5-C_5Me_5)RuCl(PR_3)(CO) (PR_3 = PMe_3,\;PPh_3)$.

The electrocatalytic oxidation of CO was studied using carbon-supported 20 wt% PtRu (PtRu/C) catalysts, which were prepared with different Pt : Ru atomic ratios from 7 : 3 to 3 : 7 using a colloidal method combined with a freeze-drying procedure. The bimetallic PtRu/C catalysts were characterized by various physicochemical analyses, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). CO stripping voltammetry measurements indicated that the addition of Ru with a Pt catalyst significantly improved the electrocatalytic activity for CO electrooxidation. Among the tested catalysts, the $Pt_5Ru_5/C$ catalyst had the lowest onset potential (vs.Ag/AgCl) and the largest CO EAS. Structural modification via lattice parameter change and electronic modification in the unfilled d band states for Pt atoms may facilitate the electrooxidation of CO.
