Abstract

Electrochemical cells for decomposing $NO_x$ were fabricated using a hydrothermally synthesized lanthanum stannate pyrochlore catalyst. Thick film of the catalyst on the YSZ electrolyte disk was produced by screen-printing a paste consisted of $La_2Sn_2O_7$ and YSZ powders. Direct current was applied to the electrochemical cell to promote an electrochemical catalytic decomposition of $NO_x$. $NO_x$ decomposition behavior of the rectant gas mixture ($NO_x$ 0.1%, $O_2$ 2%) was investigated at 700${\circ}C$ under atmosphere pressure using on-line gas chromatography and $NO_x$ analyzer. It was observed that microstructure of the catalyst layer significantly influences the electrocatalystic decomposition of $NO_x$.

Lanthanum Stannate Pyrochlore($La_2Sn_2O_7$) 촉매를 이용하여 $NO_x$ 제거를 위한 전기화학 촉매 셀을 제조하였다. 촉매전극은 수열합성법을 통해 합성한 $La_2Sn_2O_7$ 분말과 안정화 지르코니아(YSZ) 분말을 혼합하여 촉매층 페이스트를 제조한 후 이를 YSZ 디스크 고체전해질 위에 스크린프린팅하여 후막을 도포하였다. 위와 같이 제조한 전기화학 셀의 $NO_x$ 분해 실험은 galvanostat을 이용하여 셀에 일정한 전류를 인가하고 700${\circ}C$에서 NO 0.1%와 산소 2%의 반응가스에 대한 분해 정도를 gas chromatography와 NOx analyzer를 이용하여 측정을 하였다. 촉매 전극의 두께와 소성 온도에 따른 촉매전극의 미세구조가 $NO_x$ 분해에 미치는 영향과 전류량(0.05∼0.6A)에 따른 $NO_x$ 분해율을 측정하였다.
