Hydrogen production via high high-temperature steam electrolysis consumes less electrical energy than compared to conventional low low-temperature water electrolysis, mainly due to the improved thermodynamics and kinetics at elevated temperaturetemperatures. The elementalElemental powders of Cu, Ni, and YSZ are were used to synthesize high high-temperature electrolysis cathodecathodes, of Ni/YSZ and Cu/YSZ composites, by mechanical alloying. The metallic particles of the composites were uniformly covered with finer YSZ particles. Sub-micron sized pores are were homogeneously dispersed in the Ni/YSZ and Cu/YSZ composites. In this study, The cathode materials were synthesized and their Characterizations properties were evaluated in this study: It was found that the better electric conductivity of the Cu/YSZ composite was measured improved compared tothan that of the Ni/YSZ composite. Slight A slight increase in the resistance can be produced for in a Cu/YSZ cathode by oxidation, but it this is compensated offset for by a favorable thermal expansion coefficient. Therefore, Cu/YSZ cermet can be adequately used as a suitable cathode material of in high high-temperature electrolysis.

본 연구에서는 복합막의 합성을 위한 기초연구로 상용막에 대한 전기화학적 물성과 레독스-흐름전지의 충방전실험을 통해 셀저항과 막저항을 특정하였다. 셀저항율과 막저항율은 충전할 때보다 방전할 때가 더 높았으며 동일한 막에서는 충전심도가 커질수록 저항율이 커짐을 알 수 있었다. hydrocarbon type인 Selemion CMV막이 perfluoro type인 nafion 117, 551막보다 저항율이 작음을 알 수 있었으며 2N 염산수용액에서 충전심도가 0%일 때 셀 저항율과 막저항율이 각각 12.864Ωcm2 , 8.751Ωcm2 였다.
