In this research, we investigate electrical performance and electrochemical properties of graphene supported Pt (Pt/G) and PtM (M = Ni and Y) alloy catalysts (PtM/Gs) that are synthesized by modified polyol method. With the PtM/Gs that are adopted for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), their catalytic activity and ORR performance and electrical performance are estimated and compared with one another. Their particle size, particle distribution and electrochemically active surface (EAS) area are measured by TEM and cyclic voltammetry (CV), respectively. On the other hand, regarding ORR activity and electrical performance of the catalysts, (i) linear sweeping voltammetry by rotating disk electrode and rotating ring-disk electrode and (ii) PEMFC single cell tests are used. The TEM and CV measurements demonstrate particle size and EAS of PtM/Gs are compatible with those of Pt/G. In case of PtNi/G, its half-wave potential, kinetic current density, transferred electron number per oxygen molecule and $H_2O_2$ production % are excellent. Based on data obtained by half-cell test, when PEMFC singlecell tests are carried out, current density measured at 0.6V and maximum power density of the PEMFC single cell employing PtNi/G are better than those employing Pt/G. Conclusively, PtNi/Gs synthesized by modified polyol shows better ORR catalytic activity and PEMFC performance than other catalysts.

In this study, Fe-Ni bimetallic catalyst supported on kaolin is prepared by a wet impregnation method. The effects of mass of kaolin support, pre-calcination time, pre-calcination temperature and stirring speed on catalyst yields are examined. Then, the optimal supported Fe-Ni catalyst is utilised to produce multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using catalytic chemical vapour deposition (CCVD) method. The catalysts and MWCNTs prepared using the optimal conditions are characterized using high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), high-resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM), electron diffraction spectrometer (EDS), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD/EDS patterns of the prepared catalyst confirm the formation of a purely crystalline ternary oxide ($NiFe_2O_4$). The statistical analysis of the variance demonstrates that the combined effects of the reaction temperature and acetylene flow rate predominantly influenced the MWCNT yield. The $N_2$ adsorption (BET) and TGA analyses reveal high surface areas and thermally stable MWCNTs. The HRTEM/HRSEM micrographs confirm the formation of tangled MWCNTs with a particle size of less than 62 nm. The XRD patterns of the MWCNTs reveal the formation of a typical graphitized carbon. This study establishes the production of MWCNTs from a bi-metallic catalyst supported on kaolin.

메탄의 부분 산화반응을 위해 규칙적인 메조기공을 갖는 실리카를 지지체로 한 니켈 촉매를 제조하였다. 니켈 플레이팅(Nickel plating) 방법을 이용하여 촉매 제조 시 기존 함침 촉매 제조법과 달리 니켈이 실리카 표면에 도포된다. 이때 니켈이 고분산 되어 안정적인 니켈입자를 형성하게 된다. 니켈 플레이팅 촉매의 경우, TEM-EDS 분석에서 니켈이 매우 고분산 된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 고분산된 촉매로 메탄 부분산화 반응 시 기존 함침촉매와는 달리 니켈의 소결과 탄소침적이 상대적으로 적어 촉매의 비활성화가 매우 낮았다. 팔라듐은 환원 조촉매로서의 역할을 하여, 메탄 전환율과 생성된 합성가스의 H2/CO 비 관점에서 우수한 반응 성능을 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

CH4/CO2 dry reforming was carried out to make syn gas on the Ni/Al2O3 catalysts calcined at different temperatures. The Ni/Al2O3 (850 $^{\circ}C)$ catalyst gave good activity and stability w hereas the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed lower activity and stability. The NiO/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at $850^{\circ}C$ for 16 h (Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C))$ formed the spinel structure of nickel aluminate, which was confirmed by TPR. The carbon formation rate on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was very low till 20 h, and then steeply increased with reaction time without decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. The Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed high carbon formation rate at the initial reaction time and then, the rate nearly stopped with continuous decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. Even though the amount of carbon deposition on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was higher than that on the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst, the activity for CH4ing was also high, which could be attributed to the different type of the carbon formed on the catalyst surface.

For both oxygen reduction (ORR) and hydrogen oxidation reactions (HOR) of proton electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), alloying Pt with another transition metal usually results in a higher activity relative to pure Pt, mainly due to electronic modification of Pt and bifunctional behaviour of alloy surface for ORR and HOR, respectively. However, activity and stability are closely related to the preparation of alloy nanoparticles. Preparation conditions of alloy nanoparticles have strong influence on surface composition, oxidation state, nanoparticle size, shape, and contamination, which result from a large difference in redox priority of metal precursors, intrinsic properties of metals, increasedreactivity of nanocrystallites, and interactions with constituents for the synthesis such as solvent, stabilizer, and reducing agent, etc. Carbon-supported Pt-Ni alloy nanoparticles were prepared by the borohydride reduction method in anhydrous solvent. Pt-Ru alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon black were also prepared by the similar synthetic method to that of Pt-Ni. Since electrocatalytic reactions are strongly dependent on the surface structure of metal catalysts, the atom-leveled design of the surface structure plays a significant role in a high catalytic activity and the utilization of electrocatalysts. Therefore, surface-modified electrocatalysts have attracted much attention due to their unique structure and new electronic and electrocatalytic properties. The carbon-supported Au and Pd nanoparticles were adapted as the substrate and the successive reduction process was used for depositing Pt and PtM (M=Ru, Pd, and Rh) bimetallic elements on the surface of Au and Pd nanoparticles. Distinct features of the overlayers for electrocatalytic activities including methanol oxidation, formic acid oxidation, and oxygen reduction were investigated.

La을 기반으로 하는 다양한 페롭스카이트 촉매를 페치니(Pechini)법에 따라 제조하고, 이 촉매를 음식물 처리 과정에서 발생하는 악취 성분의 저온 산화 반응에 적용하여 효과적인 탈취가 이루어지도록 하였다. 배출 가스의 정량 및 정성 분석을 통하여 음식물 처리 시간에 따른 주요 악취 성분의 양을 조사하였다. 그리고 주요 악취 성분들로 구성된 표준 악취 시료는 산화 반응기의 반응물로 도입하였다. 먼저, 다양한 전이 금속 M이 치환된 La 기반 페롭스카이트 촉매($LaMO_{3}$: M=Cr, Mn, Fe, Co 및 Ni)를 제조하고 전이 금속 M의 영향을 알아보기 위해 악취 성분의 산화 반응에 적용한 결과, 테스트한 촉매 중에서 $LaNiO_3$ 촉매가 가장 우수한 촉매 활성을 보였다. 또한 촉매 활성을 증진시키기 위하여 Pt가 치환된 페롭스카이트 촉매($LaNi_{1-x}Pt_{x}O_{3}$: x=0, 0.03, 0.1 및 0.3)를 제조하였고, 이로부터 $LaNi_{0.9}Pt_{0.1}O_{3}$ 촉매가 가장 효율적인 촉매인 것을 알 수 있었다. 끝으로 저온 산화 반응에서의 페롭스카이트 촉매의 활성을 극대화하기 위하여 담지된 페롭스카이트 촉매($XLaNi_{0.9}Pt_{0.1}O_{3}/Al_{2}O_{3}$: X=페롭스카이트 함량(wt%), 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 및 100)를 적용하였다. $XLaNi_{0.9}Pt_{0.1}O_{3}/Al_{2}O_{3}$ 촉매의 활성은 페롭스카이트 함량에 따라 화산형(Volcano-shaped) 곡선을 나타내었으며, 이 때 $20LaNi_{0.9}Pt_{0.1}O_{3}/Al_{2}O_{3}$ 촉매가 $180^{\circ}C$의 반응 온도에서 88.7%의 가장 높은 전환율을 보였다.

For the $CO_2$ reforming of $CH_4$, Ni catalyst was supported on La-hexaaluminate or on $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$. The catalytic activities of Ni/La-hexaaluminate catalysts were measured at $700^{\circ}C$ using gas chromatography (GC) for 72 h, and the reaction was maintained up to 72 hfor the investigation of catalyst deactivation. The surface of each catalyst after 72 h reaction was investigated using SEM and TEM, and the composition of the carbon deposits was investigated by using EA, TPO and TGA. Ni/La-hexaaluminate shows higher resistance to coke deposition than conventional Ni/$Al_2O_3$ which seems to be due to strong interaction between Ni and the support material. As a result of the reforming reaction, various types of carbon deposits were created on catalyst surface and the amounts of them were much smaller in the case of La-hexaaluminate than on $Al_2O_3$.

Si/(Si + Al) 몰비를 30 몰%까지 변화시켜 제조한 SiO2-Al2O3 복합 산화물(SA) 상에 니켈을 함침법으로 제조한 촉매 상에서 에탄올의 아민화반응에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 제조된 촉매의 물리·화학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 X-선 회절분석(XRD), N2 흡착분석, 이소프로판올 승온탈착(IPA-TPD), 에탄올 승온탈착(EtOH-TPD), 수소 승온환원(H2-TPR), H2 화학흡착, 투과전자현미경(TEM) 분석을 수행하였다. SA 복합 산화물 상에서 Si/(Si + Al) = 30 몰%가 될 때까지 지속적으로 산점이 증가하였다. 담지된 Ni 금속의 분산도, 비표면적 및 산 특성 등이 촉매 반응활성에 복합적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 산점 증가와 니켈 산화물의 낮은 환원 온도는 아세토니트릴 생성에 유리하게 작용하는 것으로 사료된다. 에탄올의 전환율 측면에서는 10 wt% Ni이 담지된 Si/(Si + Al) = 10 몰% 촉매가 가장 높은 전환율을 보였으며 이를 기준으로 화산형 형태를 나타냈고, Ni 금속 분산도와 경향이 일치했다.
