6 Research Interests 1. GTL (Gas-to-Liquids) Process Recently, GTL process for the conversion of natural gas to liquid fuels has received much of interest because the reserves of crude oil are depleted and/or the price of crude rises. The most expensive section of GTL process is the production of purified syngas and so its composition should match the overall usage ratio of the FT (Fischer-Tropsch) reactions, which influences on the product selectivity. Control of the FT conditions coupled with appropriate downstream processes results in high yields of gasoline, excellent quality diesel fuel or high value linear a-olefins. In Sasol plants, the primary source of syngas is from the gasification of coal. In the Shell plant, the primary source of syngas is from the non-catalytic partial oxidation of methane at high pressure and at about In order to improve the economics of the current commercial processes, they should decrease the capital cost of syngas generation and the quantity of medium-weight products that are not useful as well as improve the thermal efficiency as a whole. This research is focused on the development of high-performance catalysts and reactor design for syngas generation and syngas conversion, and on the design of economical GTL process (10 bbl/day). 2. Gasoline Fuel Processor System for Fuel Cell Applications reformer system. The focus of this work is to develop gasoline fuel processor for fuel cell powered vehicles. Fuel cells are being developed to enable the commercialization of cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles. The fuel cell technology favored by most vehicle manufactures is proton exchange membrane (PEM) cell operating with H 2 from hydrocarbon steam reforming or partial oxidation. What this plan succeeds or not depend on the high efficiency and economical efficiency of fuel processor. We have been studied on developing new synthetic technologies of autothermal reforming (ATR) catalysts, water gas shift catalysts and defining relationships between the physical, chemical and catalytic properties of those catalysts. We developed the iso-octane fuel processor system for fuel cell powered vehicles applications, which charged with Ni/Fe/MgO/Al 2 O 3 catalyst for ATR, Fe 3 O 4 - Cr 2 O 3 catalyst for high temperature shift (HTS) and Mo 2 C or Pt- Ni/CeO 2 catalyst for low temperature shift (LTS) reaction (Left picture). We could achieve the concentration of CO in the hydrogen-rich stream to less than 2400 ppm in the iso-octane fuel processor system charged with KIST ATR and LTS catalysts. The results suggest that the iso-octane fuel processor system of prepared catalysts can be applied to PEMFC system when a preferential partial integration oxidation reaction is added to KIST

7 3. Development of Catalysts for Fuel Processor and Hydrogen Station Applications CO Conversion (%) Cu-Zn/Al 2 O 3 Mo 2 C Pt-Ni/CeO Time (h) Thermal cycling runs Hydrogen is the feed gas for fuel cell and can be prepared by the reforming of hydrocarbons such as methane, methanol, ethanol, and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), gasoline, kerosene, diesel and other oil derivatives. Use of hydrogen as an energy carrier can enhance long-term energy security while mitigating the effects of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The development of high performance catalyst is one of the technical challenges for lowering the cost of H 2 production. Steam reforming (SR) is the most economical route for producing synthesis gas (H 2 /CO mixture). Water-gas shift (WGS) and preferential partial oxidation (PROX) reactions are essential for the purification of H 2 in SR of hydrocarbons because CO poisons the Pt anode of PEM fuel cell. There is no Ni-based SR catalyst with the durability for the deposition of carbon and sulfur. Commercial WGS catalyst was deactivated by the sintering of active metal during the thermal cycling runs. In our KIST group, ATR of iso-octane and toluene over various transition metal formulations was investigated to develop a high performance catalyst with high activity and stability. And WGS reaction over Pt-Ni/CeO 2, Mo 2 C and Cu-Mo/Ce x Zr 1-x O 2 catalyst was carried out to develop an alternative to commercial LTS (Cu/Zn/Al 2 O 3 ) catalyst. Left figure shows the thermal cycling runs for LTS reaction. Our results demonstrated that KIST catalysts (Mo 2 C and Pt-Ni/CeO 2 ) showed higher stability than commercial LTS catalyst (Cu/Zn/Al 2 O 3 ). 4. HTE (High Temperature Electrolysis) The electrolysis of water seems to be the most potential process for the mass production of hydrogen without using fossil fuel. However, from industrial point of view, the cost of the hydrogen production by electrolysis is too high. Steam electrolysis with solid oxide fuel cells has the potential to become a cost effective way to solve the problem of hydrogen production. HTE reduces the amount of electrical energy required to break the chemical bonds in water molecules. Therefore, the electrical energy demand for electrolysis decreases strongly with increased temperature. HTE system has the potential to reduce the required electric H 2 Production Rate (ml/min.cm 2 ) LSM Reaction Temperature ( o C) LSCF with GDC layer power consumption, thereby affecting higher total efficiency through improved thermodynamics, kinetics at elevated temperatures. HTE system can reduce the electrical energy requirement by about 35 % than the conventional room temperature electrolysis system. Thus, the total efficiency of HTE system increases about 12 %. We focused on the decreasing operating temperature with high ionic and electric conductivity ceramic cell materials for reducing hydrogen production cost. We choose YSZ, GDC electrolytes, Ni-YSZ, GDC cermet cathode and LSM, LSCF anode. The Ni-YSZ cermet/ysz/gdc-lscf single cell showed much lower cell resistance (0.15 Ω) and high hydrogen production rate up to 12 ml/min cm 2 at 850 o C.
