The lack of homogeneously sized single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) hinders their many applications because properties of SWNTs, in particular electrical conduction, are highly dependent on the diameter and chirality. Therefore, the preferential growth of SWNTs with predetermined diameters is an ultimate objective for applications of SWNTs-based nanoelectronics. It has been previously emphasized that a catalyst size is the one crucial factor to determine the CNTs diameter in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, giving rise to several attempts to obtain size-controllable catalyst by diverse methods, such as solid supported catalyst, metal-containing molecular nanoclusters, and nanostructured catalytic layer. In this work, diameter-controlled CNTs were synthesized using a nanostructured catalytic layer consisting of Fe/Al2O3/Si substrate. The CNTs diameter was controlled by structural modification of Al2O3 supporting layer, because Al2O3 supporting layer can affect agglomeration phenomenon induced by heat-driven surface diffusion of Fe catalytic nanoparticles at growth temperature.

본 연구에서는 금속을 담지한 alumina bead 촉매를 이용하여 ammonium dinitramide (ADN)기반 단일액상추진제 분해 성능 분석을 수행하였다. Alumina bead를 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 소성한 후, 회전 증발기를 이용하여 과량 용액 함침법 (Excess water impregnation)으로 alumina bead에 Pt 및 Cu 를 담지하였다. 자체 제작한 batch 반응기에서 ADN기반 단일액상추진제 분해 온도($T_{dec}$)를 측정하였다. Cu/$Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 Pt/$Al_2O_3$ 촉매에 비해 분해 온도가 더 낮게 나타났으며, $T_{dec}$ 는 약 $130^{\circ}C$이었다.

2-propanol/acetone/hydrogen 계 화학반응 열펌프 시스템은 발전소의 폐열 등을 이용하기 위한 가장 적합한 반응계로 알려져 있다. 솔-젤법을 이용하여 2-propanol 탈수소화 반응용 5 wt% Pt-alumina 촉매를 다양한 형태로 제조하여 각각의 특성을 알아보았고 각각의 반응성을 비교하였다. Pt-alumina xerogel 촉매는 기존의 담지촉매보다 우수한 반응성을 보였으며 또한 지속성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, Pt-alumina aerogel 촉매가 반응속도 면에서 가장 우수한 결과를 보였다. Aerogel 촉매의 지속성을 유지시키기 위해서는 충분한 시간의 숙성과정이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며 이 과정을 통해서 높은 반응성은 물론 안정적인 지속성도 얻을 수 있었다. Pt-alumina aerogel 촉매의 가장 큰 특징은 높은 반응성은 물론, 일반적으로 반응전에 필수적으로 거쳐야하는 고온의 열처리가 전혀 필요 없다는 것으로서 이는 경제적으로 큰 이점을 가진다. 또한 alumina xerogel에 초기함침법으로 Pt를 담지시킨 촉매는 기계적 강도 및 반응성 면에서 우수한 성능을 보였으며 이를 통하여 alumina xerogel은 금속촉매의 지지체로서도 이용할 수 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

The electrochemical deposition of Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supports and their catalytic activities for methanol electro-oxidation were investigated. Pt catalysts of 4~12 nm average crystalline size were grown on supports by potential cycling methods. Electro-plating of 12 min time by potential cycling method was sufficient to obtain small crystalline size 4.5 nm particles, showing a good electrochemical activity. The catalysts' loading contents were enhanced by increasing the deposition time. The crystalline sizes and morphology of the Pt/support catalysts were evaluated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical behaviors of the Pt/support catalysts were investigated according to their characteristic current-potential curves in a methanol solution. In the result, the electrochemical activity increased with increased plating time, reaching the maximum at 12 min, and then decreased. The enhanced electroactivity for catalysts was correlated to the crystalline size and dispersion state of the catalysts.

Platinum is a transition metal that is very resistant to corrosion. It is used as catalyst for converting methyl alcohol to formaldehyde, as catalytic converter in cars, for hydrocracking of heavy oils, in Fuel Cell devices etc. Moreover, Platinum compounds are important ingredient for cancer chemotherapy drugs. The nano forms of Platinum due to its unique physico-chemical properties that are not found in its bulk counterpart, has been found to be of great importance in electronics, optoelectronics, enzyme immobilization etc. The stability of Platinum nanoparticles has supported its use for the development of efficient and durable proton exchange membrane Fuel Cells.

Catalytic effects of various Schiff base metal(II) complexes on the reduction of thionyl chloride at glassy carbon electrode are evaluated by determining the kinetic parameters from cyclic voltammetry technique. The charge transfer process is affected strongly by the concentration of catalysts during the reduction of thionyl chloride. The catalytic effects are shown by both a shift of the reduction potential for thionyl chloride toward more positive direction and an increase in peak current. The diffusion coefficient value, Do, of the 8.17 ${\times}$ 10-9 $cm^2/s$ was observed at the bare glassy carbon electrode, whereas larger values (0.9-1.09 ${\times}$ 10-8 $cm^2/s$) were observed at the catalyst supported glassy carbon electrode. Significant improvements in the cell performance have been noted in terms of both exchange rate constants and current densities at glassy carbon electrode.

VOC는 대기오염의 주원인으로서 인식되어왔다. 촉매산화는 저온에서 높은 효율을 나타내기 때문에 VOCs 제거를 위한 가장 중요한 처리기술중 하나이다. 이 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 담체에 Pt, Ir 그리고 Pt-Ir을 담시지켜 촉매를 제조하였다. 금속 분산에 따르면 $H_2O-H_2$ 처리방법이 사용되었고, 반응물로서 Xylene,Toluene 그리고 MEK을 사용하였다. 단일 또는 두 가지 이상의 촉매들은 함침법에 의해 준비하였고, XRD, XPS, TEM 분석을 통하여 특성화하였다. 그 결과 Pt 촉매는 Ir 촉매에 비해 더 높은 전환율을 나타내었고, Pt-Ir 촉매는 가장 높은 전환율을 나타내었다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리한 촉매들은 처리하지 않은 것보다 VOCs 전환율이 높았다. VOCs 산화에서, Pt-Ir 촉매는 다양한 활성점을 나타내었고 그것은 Pt의 metal 영역을 강화시켰다. 따라서 두 가지 금속으로 이루어진 촉매가 단일 금속으로 이루어진 촉매에 비해 VOCs 전환율이 더 높았다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리가 Pt 입자의 분산에서 형태에 영향을 미쳤다. 동역학적으로 VOCs 산화는 1차 반응이다. $H_2O-H_2$ 처리한 촉매들의 활성화에너지가 처리하지 않은 것들보다 낮았다. 이 연구에서 Pt에 Ir을 소량첨가함으로써 VOCs 산화반응에 효과적이었다.

대기 중 이산화탄소의 재활용 기술과 재생에너지에 의한 물 분해 기술의 접목이 최근 가능해지면서 메탄올은 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 경제성이 유리하도록 메탄올 경제를 실현하기 위해서는 고활성 메탄올 합성 촉매를 제조하여야 하며, 이를 위해서는 논리적인 접근법이 필요하다. 공침법을 통해 제조하는 Cu/ZnO 기반의 촉매는 침전, 숙성, 여과, 세척, 건조, 소성, 환원 등의 복잡한 단계로 제조되며, 100년의 역사를 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 최근에야 침전 화학과 촉매 나노구조에 대한 기초적인 이해가 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 고에서는 단계별로 합성 변수가 침전, 소성, 환원상태 물질의 물성에 미치는 영향에 대한 최근 결과들을 리뷰하고, 화학적 기억 효과라고 부르는 이들 물성들과 최종 촉매의 활성 사이의 관련성을 논의하였다. 제조 변수별 설명은 메탄올 합성을 위한 Cu/ZnO 기반 고활성 촉매를 제조하는 방법에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 논의된 합성 전략은 공침법을 기반으로 하는 타 금속 또는 금속 산화물 담지 촉매의 제조에 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Pt-Ru and Pt-Ni bimetallic catalysts were prepared and tested for heavy hydrocarbon reforming. Metals were supported on CGO($Ce_{0.8}Gd_{0.2}O_{2.0-x}$) by incipient wetness method. The prepared catalysts were characterized by Temperature programmed reduction(TPR). Oxidative steam reforming of n-dodecane was conducted to compare the activity of the catalysts. The reforming temperature was varied from $500^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ at fixed $O_2$/C of 0.3, $H_2O$/C of 3.0 and GHSV of 5,000/h.Reduction peaks of metal oxide, surface CGO and bulk CGO were detected. Reduction temperature of metal oxide decreased over the bi-metallic catalysts. It is considered that interaction between metals leads to decrease interaction between metal and oxygen. On the other hands, reduction temperatures of surface CGO were dectected in the order of Pt-Ru > Pt-Ni > Pt. low reduction temperatures of surface CGO indicates the low activation energy for oxygen ion conduction to metal. Oxygen ion conduction is known as de-coking mechanism of ionic conducting supports such as CGO. In activity test, fuel conversion was in the same order of Pt-Ru > Pt-Ni > Pt. Especially, 100% of fuel conversion was obtained over Pt-Ru catalysts at $500^{\circ}C$.

Fischer Tropsch reaction is one of the interesting topic for renewable and clean energy. Polymerization of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide with hydrogen over metal supported catalyst can produce long chain hydrocarbons. Synthetic liquid hydrocarbons are promising alternative to fossil fuels. This research work has been focused on the synthesis of Fe based catalyst for Fischer Tropsch reaction. Mesoporous silica (MS) support prepared by a precipitation method using two different washing solution, distilled water (DW) and acid in ethanol solution (ET), and different calcination temperature. Then, Fe/MS was prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation method. All of samples were systematically characterized using various physical and chemical techniques. TEM and XRD analysis were used to ensure that the cubic Ia3d mesostructure is stable after calcination. FTIR spectra are useful to ascertain the existence of template in the support. TPR studies were also used to understand the nature of Fe species and their reducibility. The results reveal that washing the support with distilled water and calcination at $550^{\circ}C$ can efficiently remove the triblock copolymer templates. The existence of template in the support affects the textural properties of all catalyst investigated.
