Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a palladium-platinum core-shell catalyst for a fuel cell. More specifically, the present invention discloses a method for manufacturing a palladium-platinum core-shell catalyst for a fuel cell, in which a platinum shell nano particle epitaxially grown on a palladium core is synthesized and dipped in a carbon support, thereby manufacturing the palladium-platinum core-shell catalyst for a hydrogen fuel cell, such that mass production of a uniform size is possible. Additionally, the techniques herein reduce the requirement for the use of expensive metal, which reduces the manufacturing cost of a fuel cell. Moreover, is the techniques herein are applicable to the field of high-efficiency hydrogen fuel cells having superior electric catalytic activity and durability.

Abstract: The present invention features a method for preparing a PtCo nanocube catalyst, the method comprising dissolving a platinum (Pt) precursor, a cobalt (Co) precursor, a surface stabilizer and a reducing agent in a solvent to prepare a solution; heating the solution under an inert gas atmosphere; maintaining the temperature of the solution to obtain PtCo alloy nanocubes; adsorbing the PtCo alloy nanocubes on a carbon support to obtain a catalyst; and removing the surface stabilizer from the catalyst. The disclosed method for preparing a PtCo nanocube catalyst enables preparation of nanocubes with uniform size and cubic shape through a simple process and application for development of high-efficiency fuel cells by preventing change in shape, surface area and composition caused by agglomeration of the nanocubes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing metal nitride thin film by chemical deposition employing amine-adduct single-source precursor at low temperatures. In accordance with the present invention, the chemical deposition is performed at low temperatures with a relatively cheap silicon substrate instead of expensive sapphire, which makes possible the economical preparation of the nitride thin film. Furthermore, since the invented process can eliminate the problems confronted in the post electrode deposition caused by insulating substrate, it can be practically applied to the development of new materials and the preparation of multi-layer thin film.
