Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for preparing nanosized metal or alloy nanoparticles by depositing metal or alloy nanoparticles with superior size uniformity on the surface of a powder as a base material by vacuum deposition and then dissolving or melting the base material using a solvent or heat. The method solves the problems of the existing expensive multi-step synthesis method based on chemical reduction and allows effective synthesis of metal or alloy nanoparticles with very uniform size and metal or alloy catalyst nanoparticles supported on carbon at low cost.

A dehydrogenation reaction apparatus includes a dehydrogenation reactor having a reaction vessel that stores a chemical hydride; and a methane generator that converts carbon monoxide generated in the dehydrogenation reactor into methane.
Abstract:
Provided is a composite polymer electrolyte membrane for a fuel cell, including: a porous fluorinated polymer support; and a perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer resin membrane which fills the inside of pores of the porous fluorinated polymer support and covers an external surface of the porous fluorinated polymer support.
Abstract:
Provided is a catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction comprising an alloy comprising at least one selected from Pt, Pd and Ir supported on a carbon carrier functionalized with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction has electronic ensemble effects by virtue of the carbon carrier functionalized with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), and thus shows improved oxygen reduction activity and durability as compared to conventional catalysts supported on carbon.
Abstract:
Provided are a perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer membrane having a porous surface layer, which includes a surface layer and a bottom layer present at the bottom of the surface layer, wherein the surface layer is a porous layer, and the bottom layer is non-porous dense layer, and a method for preparing the same through a solvent evaporation process.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for preparing a Nafion membrane having a through-pore free monolithic porous structure throughout the bulk of the membrane through a one-step process very easily and a Nafion membrane having a through-pore free monolithic porous structure obtained from the method. The Nafion membrane having such a porous structure may have an increased surface area, and thus may improve the membrane/catalyst interfacial area and transport characteristics.
