Performance tests on $Ni/Ce-ZrO_2/Al_2O_3$ catalysts with additives (MgO, $La_2O_3$) were investigated in the combined reforming processes (SCR, ATR, TRM) in order to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide (it is called "syngas".). The catalyst characterization was conducted using the BET surface analyzer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TPR and TGA. The combined reforming process was developed to adjust the syngas ratio depending on the synthetic fuel (methanol, DME and GTL) manufacturing processes. Ni-based catalysts supported on alumina has been generally recommended as a combined reforming reaction catalyst. It was found that both free NiO and complexed NiO species were responsible for the catalytic activity in the combined reforming of methane conversion, and the $Ce-ZrO_2$ binary support employed had improved the oxygen storage capacity and thermal stability. The additives, MgO and $La_2O_3$, also seemed to play an important role to prevent the formation of the carbon deposition over the catalysts. The experimental results were compared with the equilibrium data using a commercial simulation tool (PRO/II).

This study investigated the cathode catalyst of direct borohydride/hydrogen peroxide fuel cells for space exploration. Various catalysts such as Au, Ag, and Ni were supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Various techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were conducted to investigate the characteristics of the catalysts. Fuel cell tests were performed to evaluate the performance of the catalysts. Ag/MWCNTs exhibited better catalytic activity than the Ni/MWCNTs and better catalytic selectivity of the Au/MWCNTs. Ag/MWCNTs presented good catalytic activity and selectivity even at an elevated operating temperature. The performance of Ag/MWCNTs was also stable for up to 60 minutes.

In this study, we investigated the conversion performance of de-NOx catalyst for lean-burn natural gas engine. As a de-NOx catalyst, NOx storage reduction catalyst was composed of Pt, Pd and Rh with washcoat including Ba and Ni, Ru-ZSM-5. Ni, Ru-ZSM-5, which was regarded as a NOx direct decomposition catalyst, was made up of ion exchanged ZSM-5 by 5wt.% Ni or Ru. The performance of de-NOx catalyst was evaluated by NOx storage capacity and catalytic reduction in air/fuel, $\lambda=1.6$. The catalytic reaction was also observed when the added fuel was supplied to fuel rich atmosphere by fuel spike period of 5 seconds. The NOx conversion of the catalysts with Ni-ZSM-5 or Ru-ZSM-5 was mainly caused by the effect of NOx adsorption of Ba rather than the catalytic reduction of Ni, Ru-ZSM-5. Ni, Ru-ZSM-5 catalysts can not use for the NSR catalyst because they have quick process in thermal deactivation.

수소생산을 위한 메탄의 부분산화용 촉매로 알루미나에 담지된 코발트와 니켈 촉매를 함침법으로 제조하였다. 이들 코발트와 니켈 촉매에 조촉매 성분 Mg, Ce, La와 Sr을 첨가하여 초촉매 효과를 조사하였다. 메탄의 부분산화반응을 위한 촉매의 활성은 상압, $CH_4/O_2$ = 2.0에서 450~$650^{\circ}C$의 온도영역으로 조사하였다. 촉매의 특성은 BET, XRD와 SEM/EDX를 이용하여 조사하였다. 0.2 wt%의 조촉매 성분의 첨가로 촉매성능의 상승효과를 얻을 수 있었다. $500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 $Co/Al_2O_3$에 Mg을 첨가한 촉매가 가장 우수한 메탄 전환율과 수소 선택성을 나타내었다. 낮은 온도 영역에서는 $Ni/Al_2O_3$에 Ce와 Sr을 첨가한 촉매가 Co계 촉매보다 우수한 반응특성을 나타내었다. $Co/Al_2O_3$와 $Ni/Al_2O_3$에 조촉매를 첨가한 경우 촉매의 표면적이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

양이온성(C), 음이온성(A) 및 비이온성(N) 계면활성제 각각을 주형물질로 사용하여 중형기공성 알루미나 (A-C, A-A 및 A-N)를 제조한 후, 이를 담체로 활용하여 일반적인 함침법으로 담지 니켈촉매(Ni/A-C, Ni/A-A 및 Ni/A-N)를 제조하였으며, 이를 액화천연가스의 수증기 개질반응에 의한 수소 제조에 적용하였다. 소성된 촉매에서 니켈종은 계면활성제의 종류에 상관없이 중형기공성 알루미나 담체의 표면에 균일하게 분산되었다. 하지만 환원된 촉매에서 니켈과 알루미나 담체 간의 상호작용 세기는 계면활성제의 종류에 밀접하게 의존하였다. 액화천연가스 전환율 및 건가스 중 수소가스 조성은 Ni/A-C < Ni/A-A < Ni/A-N의 순으로 증가하였다. 환원된 촉매 상의 니켈 비표면적이 증가할수록 반응활성 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 제조된 촉매중에서 니켈 비표면적이 가장 높은 Ni/A-N 촉매가 가장 높은 반응환성을 나타내었다.

Highly active and stable nano-sized Ni catalysts supported on MgO-$Al_2O_3$ calcined from hydrotalcite-like materials have been successfully developed with a strong metal to support interaction (SMSI) to enhance the coke resistance in combined $H_2O$ and $CO_2$ reforming of $CH_4$ (CSCRM) for syngas ($H_2$/CO=2) production. The change of the surface area and NiO crystallite size with varying the pre-calcination temperature of support and Mgo content was investigated in relation to the coke resistance. As increasing the pre-calcination temperature, the surface area decreases and the metal to support interaction becomes weak. As a consequence, the coke deposition was more severe on catalysts pre-calcined at high temperature. It was concluded that highly dispersed Ni metal in the surface of Ni/MgO-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst (MgO=30 wt%) pre-calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ had a strong metal to support interaction (SMSI) resulting in an increase of coke resistance and high activity.

Steam reforming of methane (SRM) is the primary method to produce hydrogen. Commercial Ni-based catalysts have been optimized for SRM with excess steam ($H_2O/CH_4$ > 2.5) at high temperatures (> $700^{\circ}C$). However, commercial catalysts are not suitable under severe conditions such as stoichiometric steam over methane ratio ($H_2O/CH_4$ = 1.0) and low temperature ($600^{\circ}C$). In this study, 15wt.% Ni catalysts supported on $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ were prepared at various calcination temperatures for SRM at a very high gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of $621,704h^{-1}$. The calcination temperature was systematically varied to optimize 15wt.% $Ni-Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst at a $H_2O/CH_4$ ratio of 1.0 and at $600^{\circ}C$. 15wt.% $Ni-Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest $CH_4$ conversion as well as stability with time on stream. Also, 15wt.% $Ni-Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ catalyst calcined at $500^{\circ}C$ showed the highest $H_2$ yield (58%) and CO yield (21%) among the catalysts. This is due to complex NiO species, which have relatively strong metal to support interaction (SMSI).

This study has been focused on the partial oxidation(POX) of n-octane over Rh-containing catalysts supported on alumina. The catalysts for this reaction were prepared by incipient wetness(IW) and co-gel(CG) methods, followed by the calcination at $900{\circ}C$ or $1,200{\circ}C$. When applied to the POX of n-octane carried out at $600{\circ}C$ with C/O=3 and GHSV=3,450/h, the catalyst prepared by the CG method and calcined at $1,200{\circ}C$ showed the best activity, yielding 42% syngas($H_2$+CO) with the $H_2$/CO ratio of $2{\sim}2.4$. To enhance the activity and stability of catalysts, bimetallic catalysts were synthesized by the CG method. As a result, the performance of Rh-Ni/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was superior to that of Rh/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst in terms of the catalyst stability, due to the retarding effect on the Rh-to-$Rh_2O_3$ transition by the addition of Ni. This result was confirmed by XRD, TEM, and TPR characterizations.

상용 알루미나($Al_2O_3$)에 담지된 $M/Al_2O_3$ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) 촉매를 함침법에 의해 제조하였으며, 이를 에탄을 자열개질반응에 의한 수소제조에 적용하였다. 각각의 촉매는 고유한 금속상을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 생성물의 분포는 활성금속의 종류에 크게 의존하였다. 제조된 촉매 중에서, $M/Al_2O_3$ 및 Co/$Co/Al_2O_3$는 에탄을 자열개질반응에서 매우 우수한 촉매활성을 보였다. 그러나 두 촉매상에서의 반응메커니즘은 서로 다른 것으로 나타났다. $Ni/Al_2O_3$ 촉매는 $500^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 100%의 에탄올 전환율을 보였으나, 수소 선택도에서는 시간에 따라 급격한 저하현상을 나타내었다. 한편 $Co/Al_2O_3$ 촉매는 수소 선택도 면에서 우수한 활성을 보였으나, 에탄올 전환율이 저조하여 수소 수율에는 큰 변화가 나타나지 않았다.

수소생산을 위한 메탄의 부분산화용 촉매로 알루미나에 담지된 코발트와 니켈 촉매를 함침법으로 제조하였다. 메탄의 부분산화반응을 위한 이들 촉매의 반응활성은1기압, $CH_4/O_2=2.0$과 $450{\sim}650^{\circ}C$의 온도영역에서 조사하였다. 담지량이 다른 코발트촉매와 니켈촉매의 반응활성을 비교하고 코발트촉매에 니켈을 첨가한 이성분금속 촉매의 반응활성을 조사하였다. 그리고 코발트촉매와 니켈촉매에 첨가된 Ce와 La의 첨가효과를 조사하였다. 이들 촉매의 특성은 XRD와 SEM/EDX로 분석하였다. 코발트와 니켈은 10 wt%의 담지량이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 이들 10 wt% 담지 코발트와 니켈촉매는 열역학적 평형값에 가까운 메탄의 전환율과 CO의 선택성을 나타내었으나 $H_2$의 선택성은 평형값보다 다소 낮게 나타났다. 코발트촉매에 니켈을 첨가한 이성분금속 촉매에서 $H_2$의 선택성은 증가하였으나 전환율을 고려하면 니켈을 첨가한 이점은 나타나지 않았다. 코발트촉매에서는 Ce의 첨가와 니켈촉매에서는La의 첨가로 메탄의 전환율과 수소의 선택성을 높일 수 있었다.
