The photocatalytic degradation of TCE using solar energy in POFR was studied. The use of solar energy was investigated in plastic optica fiber photocatalytic reactor (POFR). In POFR, the main parameters of photocatalytic degradation of TCE were lihgt intensity, thickness of $TiO_2$-coated film on plastic fiber core, the same of total $TiO_2$-coated surface area with changed length. We studied the apparent photonic efficiency and photocatalytic degradation rate of TCE in POFR. The apparent photonic efficiency of various light intensities was decreased by an incresed intensities. The photocatalytic activities of $TiO_2$-coated optical fiber reactor system depended on the coating thickness, and total clad-stripped surface area of POF. Photocatalytic degradation of trichloroethylene ($C_2HCl_3$, TCE) in the gas-phase was elucidated by using $TiO_2$-coated plastic optical fiber reactor. In TCE degradation, in-situ FTIR measurement resulted in mineralization into $CO_2$.

Steam reforming of methane using Xe-arc solar simulator was studied for the application of concentrated solar energy into chemical reaction. The reactor, a volumetric absorber, consisted of a porous ceramic foam disk coated with commercial reforming catalyst. Operating temperature was in the range of $450\;-\;550^{\circ}C$ and the excess steam ratio to methane was from 3.0 to 5.0. At the steady-state condition, the conversion of methane Increased with temperature in the range of 15 % - 30 % and the experimentally determined conversion was found to be close to theoretical equilibrium conversion. It was also found that the CO selectivity slightly decreased with excess steam ratio. Finally, the conversion of methane decreased significantly with space velocity of reactants.

The reaction of steam reforming of methane with commercial catalysts was conducted for thermochemical heat storage. The reaction conditions were investigated for temperature range of 700 to $900\;^{\circ}C$ and steam to carbon mole ratios between 3.0 and 5.0. The reactor was made of stainless steel and it's dimension was 12 cm inside diameter and 6cm long. The effects of space velocity and reactants mole ratio and temperature on the methane conversion and CO selectivity were examined. Optimum reaction condition was determined. There was not a significant difference of methane conversion and CO selectivity compared to conventional reactor.

To develope chemical heat pump using available energy sources, solar heat and other kinds of waste thermal energy, we have studied the heat transfer rate in cylindrical bed reactor packed with calcined Dolomite. Two dimensional (radial and circumferential) Partial differential equations, concerning heat and mass transfer in packed bed of calcined Dolomite, are solved numerically to describe the characteristics of the reaction of calcined Dolomite and heat transfer. The results obtained by numerical analysis about two dimensional profiles of temperature and conversion of reactant in the packed bed reactor and the amount of exothermic heat released from the reactor are follows. It was found that all of calcined Dolomite packed bed kept the reaction temperature of about 750K throughout the entire part of the bed, immediately after the steam was introduced exothermic reaction of hydration was proceeded from the packed bed inpu to output and from wall side to center. The rate of thermochemical reaction depends on the temperature and concentration and it is also governed by the boundary conditions and heat transfer rate in the particle packed bed.

본 연구는 에너지 밀도와 승온효과가 큰 화학 열펌프시스템 개발을 위해 무기 수화물계인$Ca(OH)_2/CaO$ 원주형 충전층내 핀을 주입 전열 촉진한 경우에 있어서 반응촉진 효과의 이론적 평가를 행하였다. 그 결과 충전층내 수화 탈수 반응시 반응층내 시간에 따른 온도 분포변화 및 반응율 분포에 대한 수치 해석 결과 전열핀 주입에 따른 반응완결 시간이 절반이하로 줄일 수 있다고 한 실험결과와 잘 일치됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 해석결과 열화학 반응은 주로 온도 및 농도에 의존하였고 경계조건과 입자 충전층의 열전도에 의해 크게 좌우됨을 알 수 있었다.

The effectiveness of silicon nitride SiNx surface passivation is investigated and quantified. This study adopted single-layer antireflection (SLAR) coating of SiNx for efficiency improvement of solar cell. The silicon nitride films were deposited by means of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) in planar coil reactor. The process gases used were pure ammonia and a mixture of silane and helium. The thickness and the refractive index on the films were measured by ellipsometry and chemical bonds were determined by using an FT-IR equipment. This films obtained were analyzed in term of hydrogen content, refractive index for gas flow ratio $(NH_3/SiH_4)$, and efficiency of solar cell. The polycrystalline silicon solar cells passivated by silicon nitride shows efficiency above 12.8%.

Global sustainable energy needs and carbon neutrality goals make hydrogen a key future energy source. South Korea and Japan lead with proactive hydrogen policies, including South Korea's Hydrogen Law and Japan's strategy updates aiming for a hydrogen-centric society by 2050. A notable advance is the solar thermal chemical water-splitting cycle for green hydrogen production, spotlighted by Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) and Niigata University's joint initiative. This method uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, offering a carbon-neutral hydrogen production route. The study focuses on international collaboration in solar energy for thermochemical water-splitting and E-fuel production, highlighting breakthroughs in catalyst and reactor design to enhance solar thermal technology's commercial viability for sustainable fuel production. Collaborations, like ARENA in Australia, target global carbon emission reduction and energy system sustainability, contributing to a cleaner, sustainable energy future.

고온의 태양열을 저장하기 위한 한 방편으로 화학반응을 이용한 태양에너지의 화학에너지로의 변환공정을 고려하였다. 태양에너지의 저장은 메탄의 수증기 개질반응으로 선정하였으며, 이 흡열반응에서 메탄의 전화율에 영향을 미치는 조업변수의 영향을 살펴보았다. 반응기는 직경 0.635 cm 그리고 길이 30 cm인 스테인레스 관을 코일형태로 제작하였다. 메탄의 수증기 개질반응에서 반응물의 공간속도, 그리고 스팀/메탄 비율에 따라서 메탄의 전화율과 CO의 선택도가 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 이 실험을 통하여 최적의 수증기/메탄 비율을 확인하였다.
