상용 발전소에서 LNG를 제외한 대부분의 연료 연소시 SO₂의 배출은 필연적이며, 이는 NOx 저감용 SCR촉매의 내구성에 영향을 미치므로 저온영역에서 SO₂에 대한 내구성과 NOx 저감 성능이 우수한 SCR촉매 개발을 목적으로 Sb₂O₃의 함침량을 달리하여 metal foam 지지체에 코팅하여 촉매를 제조하였다. 실험실 규모의 상압반응기를 이용하여 NOx 저감 성능 시험을 수행하였고, 제조된 촉매의 특성은 Porosimeter, BET, SEM (scanning electron microscope), EDX (energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) 기기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 촉매의 특성분석결과 비표면적은 Sb₂O₃의 함침량에 따라 증가하였고, NOx 전환활성 효율은 Sb₂O₃를 2 wt% 함침한 촉매가 가장 우수한 것으로 측정되었다. 또한 Sb₂O₃를 첨가한 촉매는 SO₂에 장시간 노출 시켰을 경우에도 NOx 전환활성 효율이 유지되는 것으로 나타났고, 활성온도영역과 SO₂의 존재 유무에 따라 Sb₂O₃ 함량을 조절함으로써 효율적인 촉매의 제조가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Syngas and hydrogen from the $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ coated foam devices were investigated under simulated solar radiation. The $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ coated SiC, Ni and Cu foam device were prepared using drop-coating method. Syngas production step was performed at $900^{\circ}C$, and hydrogen production process was performed for ten repeated cycles to compare the CeO2 conversion in syngas production step, $H_2$ yield in hydrogen production step and cycle reproducibility. The produced syngas had the $H_2$/CO ratio of 2, which was suitable for methanol synthesis or Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. In addition, syngas and hydrogen production process is one of the promising chemical pathway for storage and transportation of solar heat by converting solar energy to chemical energy. After ten cycles of redox reaction, the $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ was analyzed using XRD pattern and SEM image in order to characterize the physical and chemical change of metal oxide at the high temperature.

The three dimensional geometries of an aluminum open cell foam before and after uniaxial compressive loading were investigated using the X-ray micro CT(computed tomography). Aluminum 6101-T6 open cell foams of 10, 20, 40 ppi (pore per inch) were considered in this work. After the serial sectioning CT images of aluminum foams were obtained from non-destructive X-ray images, the exact 3D structure were reproduced and visualized with commercial image processing program. The relative density ratio was around the 7.0 to 9.0 range, the unit cells showed anisotropic shapes having the different dimensional ratios of 1.1 to 1.3 between the rise and the transverse directions. The yield stress increased with the relative density ratio and the volumetric strain increased proportionally with compressive strain. The plateau stress in the compressive stress-strain curve was caused by the buckling of ligaments.

The mechanism of the hydrogen gas pore formation was investigated in Lost Foam Casting of Al-alloy by reduced pressure test and real casting. The hydrogen gas pick-up was affected by the formed gas during the decomposition of polystyrene in addition to the liquid product. It depended on pouring temperature and a proper temperature of metal front gave the minimum hydrogen pick-up. At a low pouring temperature, the hydrogen went into the melt mainly from entrapped liquid product of polystyrene but pores were formed from the gas as well as the liquid product at a high pouring temperature. The mold flask evacuation down to 710torr decreased the gas porosity down by around 0.4% vol%. The entrapped decomposition product of polystyrene in the melt was observed through the visualization of filling behavior of Al alloy-melt with the high speed camera.

본 연구에서는 폐쇄형 발포금속의 인장 특성을 이해하기 위하여 수정된 단위모델을 제시하였다. 또한 발포금속의 밀도는 가우스 분포에 의거하여 확률적으로 분포한다고 가정하고 본 연구에서 제시된 수정 단위 모델을 조합하여 유한요소 모델을 제안하였다. 이 모델은 실제 인장 시험과 유사한 변형거동을 보이는 것을 확인하였고, 적절한 밀도 분포와 내부 기공을 고려하게 되면, 해석에서 구해진 최대 인장 강도가 근사적으로 실험결과와 일치하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한, 발포 알루미늄의 최대 인장 강도는 밀도 분포의 표준편차보다는 내부 기공 부피분율에 더 민감하게 변하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

In the present work, thermal buckling and post-buckling behaviors of imperfect graphene platelet reinforced metal foams (GPRMFs) doubly curved shells are examined. Material properties of GPRMFs doubly curved shells are presumed to be the function of the thickness. Reddy' shell theory incorporating geometric nonlinearity is utilized to derive the governing equations. Various types of the graphene platelets (GPLs) distribution patterns and doubly curved shell types are taken into account. The nonlinear equations are discretized for the case of simply supported boundary conditions. The thermal post-buckling response are presented to analyze the effects of GPLs distribution patterns, initial geometric imperfection, GPLs weight fraction, porosity coefficient, porosity distribution forms, doubly curved shell types. The results show that these factors have significant effects on the thermal post-buckling problems.

Due to the fact that the nonlinear low-velocity impact response of graphene platelets reinforced metal foams (GPLRMF) doubly curved shells have not been investigated in the existing works, this paper aims to solve this issue. Using Reddy's high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT), the nonlinear governing equations of GPLRMF doubly curved shells are obtained by Euler-Lagrange method, discretized by Galerkin principle, and solved by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to obtain the impact force and central deflection. The nonlinear Hertz contact law is applied to determine the contact force. Finally, the impacts of graphene platelets (GPLs) distribution pattern, porosity distribution form, porosity coefficient, damping coefficient, impact parameters (radius and initial velocity), GPLs weight fraction, pre-stressing force and different shell types on the low-velocity impact curves are analyzed. It can be found that, among the four shell structures, the impact resistance of spherical shell is the best, while that of cylindrical shell is the worst.

Due to its characteristics of light weight, high energy density, good safety, long service life, no memory effect, and environmental friendliness, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in various portable electronic products. The capacity and performance of LIBs largely depend on the performance of electrode materials. Therefore, the development of better positive and negative materials is the focus of current research. The application of metal organic framework materials (MOFs) derivatives in energy storage has attracted much attention and research. Using MOFs as precursors, porous metal oxides and porous carbon materials with controllable structure can be obtained. In this paper, rod-shaped Co-MOF-74 was grown on Ni Foam (NF) by hydrothermal method, and then Co-MOF-74/NF precursor was heat-treated to obtain rodshaped Co₃O₄/NF. Ni Foam was skeleton structured, which effectively relieved. The change of internal stress changes and destroys the structural volume of the electrode material and reduces the capacity attenuation. Co₃O₄/NF composite material has a specific discharge capacity of up to 1858 mA h/g for the first time, and a reversible capacity of up to 902.4 mA h/g at a current density of 200 mA/g, and has excellent rate and impedance performance. The synthesis strategy reported in this article opens the way to design high-performance electrodes for energy storage and electrochemical catalysis.

Recently, due to high theoretical capacitance and excellent ion diffusion rate caused by the 2D layered crystal structure, transition metal hydroxides (TMHs) have generated considerable attention as active materials in supercapacitors (or electrochemical capacitors). However, TMHs should be designed using morphological or structural modification if they are to be used as active materials in supercapacitors, because they have insulation properties that induce low charge transfer rate. This study aims to modify the morphological structure for high cycling stability and fast charge storage kinetics of TMHs through the use of nickel cobalt hydroxide [NiCo(OH)₂] decorated on nickel foam. Among the samples used, needle-like NiCo(OH)₂ decorated on nickel foam offers a high specific capacitance (1110.9 F/g at current density of 0.5 A/g) with good rate capability (1110.9 - 746.7 F/g at current densities of 0.5 - 10.0 A/g). Moreover, at a high current density (10.0 A/g), a remarkable capacitance (713.8 F/g) and capacitance retention of 95.6% after 5000 cycles are noted. These results are attributed to high charge storage sites of needle-like NiCo(OH)₂ and uniformly grown NiCo(OH)₂ on nickel foam surface.

In this paper, we present the design and fabrication of a new circularly polarized circular patch antenna. The antenna is realized using a plastic foam sheet, a Teflon substrate and a metal-coated film. The radiating element is a circular patch proximity-fed by a wide microstrip line. Two thins slots are introduced on the circular patch to obtain a circular polarized radiation. The antenna is optimized using a commercial software. The antenna has 18% impedance bandwidth, 4% axial-ratio band width and 9.12dBi gain.
