리튬-공기전지 공기극으로서 탄소 상에 직접 수열합성법으로 망간산화물을 생성한 탄소지지 망간산화물 촉매를 합성하였다. 각 수열합성 조건에 따라서 만들어진 복합체에 대한 XRD, FE-SEM 분석을 통하여, 복합체의 결정구조, 형태, 크기 등을 확인하였는데 특히, 수열합성 온도 및 시간이 각각 $170^{\circ}C$, 12시간인 조건에서 만들어진 산화망간은 길이가 40-50 nm인 막대 모양을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 합성된 복합체를 사용하여 만든 공기극과 리튬금속을 음극으로 하는 코인셀 형태의 리튬-공기전지를 만들어 전기화학적 특성을 조사한 결과 초기 방전 용량이 3,852 mAh/g으로 높았고 충 방전 횟수가 4회 정도 발현되었다.

단일벽 탄소나노튜브의 표면 위에 동력학적 전위법으로 산화루테늄($RuO_2$)의 석출 및 루테늄-코발트 혼합산화물(Ru-Co mixed oxide)의 공석출에 의해 산화환원 수퍼커페시터용 복합전극을 제조하였다. 루테늄 성분이 13.13 wt%, 코발트 성분이 2.89 wt%가 석출된 Ru-Co 혼합산화물 전극은 낮은 전위 스캔속도($10\;mV\;s^{-1}$)에서는 $RuO_2$ 전극과 유사한 비용량(${\sim}620\;F\;g^{-1}$)을 나타내지만, 높은 스캔속도($500\;mV\;s^{-1}$)에서는 $RuO_2$ 전극보다 큰 비용량을 보인다. 높은 스캔 속도에서 Ru-Co 혼합산화물 전극이 비용량의 증가를 나타내는 것은 Ru 성분을 통한 전기전도성을 Co 성분이 구조적으로 지지해주기 때문이다.

탄소나노튜브의 응집력을 완화하기 위한 표면 개질과 고분자 소재와의 상용성을 유도하기 위하여, 친수성 고분자를 도입하는 연구를 진행하였다. 산처리를 통한 표면 기능화를 시행하였으며, 카복실기 도입 탄소나노튜브를 thionyl chloride을 사용하여 acyl chloride로 치환한 후 저분자량의 아민 말단 poly(ethylene oxide)를 공유결합으로 도입하였다. TGA를 통하여 탄소나노튜브 표면에 도입된 고분자의 함량을 계산하였으며, 탄소나노튜브 표면에 도입된 고분자의 표면 형상을 SEM과 TEM을 통하여 직경이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Nickel oxide(NiO) thin films, nanorods, and carbon nanotube(CNT)/NiO core-shell nanorod structures are fabricated by sputtering Nickel at different deposition time on alumina substrates or single wall carbon nanotube templates followed by oxidation treatments at different temperatures, 400 and $700^{\circ}C$. Structural analyses are carried out by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. NiO thinfilm, nanorod and CNT/NiO core-shell nanorod structurals of the gas sensor structures are tested for detection of $H_2S$ gas. The NiO structures exhibit the highest response at $200^{\circ}C$ and high selectivity to $H_2S$ among other gases of NO, $NH_3$, $H_2$, CO, etc. The nanorod structures have a higher sensing performance than the thin films and carbon nanotube/NiO core-shell structures. The gold catalyst deposited on NiO nanorods further improve the sensing performance, particularly the recovery kinetics.

Poly(arylene ether phosphine oxide)(PEPO)로 코팅된 탄소섬유의 계면접착력을 microdroplet 시험으로 측정하였으며, 이 결과를 poly(arylene ether sulfone) (PES), Udel$^{\circledR}$ P-1700 and Ultem$^{\circledR}$ 1000으로 코팅된 탄소섬유의 결과와 비교하였다. 또한 코팅에 사용된 고분자와 탄소섬유와의 계면접착력을 탄소섬유와 고분자의 접착 메카니즘을 규명하기 위하여 측정하였다. PEPO로 코팅된 탄소섬유가 가장 높은 계면접착력을 보였으며, Udel, PES 그리고 Ultem 고분자 코팅 순으로 감소하였다. 고분자와 탄소섬유의 계면접착력 또한 비슷한 경향을 보였다. SEM 분석결과 PEPO로 코팅된 탄소섬유에서는 비닐에스터 수지 내에서 파괴가 일어난 것으로 보여지나, 다른 고분자로 코팅된 탄소섬유에서는 계면 또는 계면에서 가까운 곳에서 파괴가 일어난 것으로 판단된다. PEPO 코팅에 의한 계면접착력 향상은 PEPO내에 존재하는 P=O 때문으로 사료된다.

We report on the NO gas sensing properties of Al-doped zinc oxide-carbon nanotube (ZnO-CNT) wire-like layered composites fabricated by coaxially coating Al-doped ZnO thin films on randomly oriented single-walled carbon nanotubes. We were able to wrap thin ZnO layers around the CNTs using the pulsed laser deposition method, forming wire-like nanostructures of ZnO-CNT. Microstructural observations revealed an ultrathin wire-like structure with a diameter of several tens of nm. Gas sensors based on ZnO-CNT wire-like layered composites were found to exhibit a novel sensing capability that originated from the genuine characteristics of the composites. Specifically, it was observed by measured gas sensing characteristics that the gas sensors based on ZnO-CNT layered composites showed a very high sensitivity of above 1,500% for NO gas in dry air at an optimal operating temperature of $200^{\circ}C$; the sensors also showed a low NO gas detection limit at a sub-ppm level in dry air. The enhanced gas sensing properties of the ZnO-CNT wire-like layered composites are ascribed to a catalytic effect of Al elements on the surface reaction and an increase in the effective surface reaction area of the active ZnO layer due to the coating of CNT templates with a higher surface-to-volume ratio structure. These results suggest that ZnO-CNT composites made of ultrathin Al-doped ZnO layers uniformly coated around carbon nanotubes can be promising materials for use in practical high-performance NO gas sensors.

Aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) nanofibers were treated thermally under an ammonia ($NH_3$) gas stream balanced by nitrogen to form a thin aluminum nitride (AlN) layer on the nanofibers, resulting in the enhancement of thermal conductivity of $Al_2O_3$/epoxy nanocomposites. The micro-structural and morphological properties of the $NH_3$-assisted thermally-treated $Al_2O_3$ nanofibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AEM), respectively. The surface characteristics and pore structures were observed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Zeta-potential and $N_2$/77 K isothermal adsorptions. From the results, the formation of AlN on $Al_2O_3$ nanofibers was confirmed by XRD and XPS. The thermal conductivity (TC) of the modified $Al_2O_3$ nanofibers/epoxy composites increased with increasing treated temperatures. On the other hand, the severely treated $Al_2O_3$/epoxy composites showed a decrease in TC, resulting from a decrease in the probability of heat-transfer networks between the filler and matrix in this system due to the aggregation of nanofiber fillers.

Emission characteristics of nitric oxides and carbon monoxide from a porous media combustor has been experiment studied. The relationship between the change of flame shape and emission has also been examined. As the equivalence ratio decreases, the flame shape on the ceramic matrix plate changes from a diffusion flame, R(radiant)-type flame, to B(Blue)-type flame. With large fuel flow rate, R-type flame turns to be two dimensional R-II type flame around the equivalence of 0.7. Carbon monoxide emission increases very rapid with decreasing equivalence ratio. It changes a lot from some 10 ppm to 100-10,000 ppm with the change of flame type from R-I to R-II type. Nitric oxide emission from the premixed burner is less than 25 ppm over all range of fuel flow rate, which is less than 20% of NOx emission from conventional gas burners.

We have developed an efficient method to generate highly active Pd and PdO nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed on graphene and graphene oxide (GO) by an impregnation method combined with thermal treatments in $H_2$ and $O_2$ gas flows, respectively. The Pd NPs supported on graphene (Pd/G) and the PdO NPs supported on GO (PdO/GO) demonstrated excellent carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions under a solvent-free, environmentally-friendly condition. The morphological and chemical structures of PdO/GO and Pd/G were fully characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We found that the remarkable reactivity of the Pd/G and PdO/GO catalysts toward the cross-coupling reaction is attributed to the high degree of dispersion of the Pd and PdO NPs while the oxidative states of Pd and the oxygen functionalities of graphene oxide are not critical for their catalytic performance.
