Lithium intercalated carbon (LIC) are basically employed as an anode for currently commercialized lithium secondary batteries. However, there are still strong interests in modifying carbon surface of active materials of the anode because the amount of irreversible capacity, charge-discharge capacity and high rate capability are largely determined by the surface conditions of the carbon. In this study, the carbonaceous materials were coated with tin oxide and copper by fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and their coating effects on electrochemical characteristics were investigated. The electrode which coated with tin oxides gave the higher capacity than that of raw material. Their capacity decreased with the progress of cycling possibly due to severe volume changes. However, the cyclability was improved by coating with copper on the surface of the tin oxides coated carbonaceous materials, which plays an important role as an inactive matrix buffering volume changes. An impedance on passivation film was decreased as tin oxides contents and it resulted in the higher capacity.

Carbonaceous thin films were prepared from acetylene and argon gases by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (Plasma CVD) at 873 K. The carbonaceous thin films were characterized by mainly Raman spectroscopy, and their electrochemical properties were studied by cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge measurements in propylene carbonate (PC) solution. Raman spectra showed that crystallinity of carbonaceous thin films is correlated by the applied RF power. The difference of the applied RF power also affected on the results of cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge measurements. In PC solution, intercalation and de-intercalation of lithium ion can occur as well as in the mixed solution of EC and DEC.

Electrochemical promotion of the reaction rate was investigated for CO oxidation in a solid electrolyte catalytic reactor where a thin film of Pt was deposited on the yttria stabilized zirconia as an electrode as well as a catalyst. It was shown under open circuit condition that potential was a mixed potential of O2exchange reaction and electrochemical reaction induced by CO. The effect of electrochemical modification on the CO oxidation rate was studied at various overpotentials and PCOPO2.

In consideration that a high tensile strength and ion exchange capacity are maintained as the swℓing of membrane is controlled by the coagulation of PSf with the introduction of ion exchange groups and PPSS without the introduction of ion exchange groups, the block copolymer of PSf and PPSS were synthesized. The cation exchange membrane was prepared by sulfonation with CSA and casted. The synthesized block copolymer and cation exchange membrane were characterized by FT-IR and their thermal stability was confirmed by TGA. The optimum sulfonation could be accomplished at a mole ratio of BPSf to CSA 1:3. The best electrochemical properties obtained by the optimal condition were area resistance of 4.37 Ωㆍtextrmcm2, ion exchange capacity of 1.71 meq/g dry membrane, water content of 0.2941 g H2O/g dry membrane, and fixed ion concentration of 5.81 meq/g H2O. When GBL was used as an additive, area resistance was increased by 13.7 % and ion exchange capacity was increased by 14.6%. When the membrane was fabricated in a form of composite using non woven cloth as a support. the tensile strength of membrane could be improved, but the electrochemical characteristics were not influenced.

노후화된 고온설비의 안정성 및 효율적인 운전조건을 확보하고, 고온부재의 취성파괴 방지를 위해서는 재질열화의 정량적 평가는 매우 중요하다. 그러나 현장실기에서 기계적 성질의 평가를 위한 대량의 시험편 채취는 거의 불가능하다. 따라서, 실기부재의 강도에 영향을 미치지 않는 범위에서 플랜트 구조물의 재질열화 평가를 비파괴적으로 검출 평가할 수 있는 새로운 시험방법들의 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 화력설비 부재의 다양한 탄소강을 대상으로 재질열화도 평가를 위한 전기화학적 양극분극시험법의 적용 가능성을 조사하였다. 또한 양극분극시험에 의한 재질열화평가 유효성을 조사하기 위해 전기화학적 시험결과를 입계부식시험결과와 비교.검토해 보았다.

Ba(NO3)2와 TiCl4의 혼합 수용액으로부터 전기화학법 중 음극혼원법(cathodic reduction method)을 이용하여 stainless steel기판 위에 BaTiO3박막을 제조하였다. BaTiO3전구체 박막은 혼합 수용액으로부터 반응초기에 TiO2·nH2OM/형태로 우선적으로 형성되었으며, 일정 시간이 경과한 후에는 일정한 Ba/Ti몰비를 갖는 박막이 제조되었다. BaTiO3박막 내 Ba/Ti조성비는 혼합 수용액 내에 존재하는 이온 조성비 Ba2+/Ti4+에 변화하였는데, 0.3M Ba(NO3)2와 0.1M TiCI4의 혼합 수용액과 10mA/cm2의 전류를 흘려주는 조건에서 Ba/Ti의 조성비가 1에 가까운 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 전구체 박막을 500˚C이상에서 열처리한 결고 페로브스카이트 상의 BaTiO3박막이 제조되었다.

전기화학법 중 음극환원법을 이용하여 0.005M TiCI4수용액으로부터 수화물 형태의 TiO2박막을 제조하였다. TiCI4수용액에 첨가제로 에탄올을 50vol% 첨가하여 균일한 박막을 얻을 수가 있었으며, 전류밀도와 시간에 따라서 박막의 두께와 미세구조가 변화하였다. 성장속도가 큰 조건에서 얻은 박막은 균질성의 감소로 인하여 건조과정이나 열처리 중 다량의 균열이 발생하였다. 일정한 전류밀도ㅇ에서 반응시간의 증가에 따라 박막의 두께가 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 10mA/cm2의 전류밀도에서 3분 동안 반응시켜 약 0.7μm 두께의 우수한 TiO2박막을 얻을수 있었다. 이러한 박막은 800˚C에서 한 시간 열처리 한 결과, rutile 단일상으로 결정화되었다.

TiO2 광촉매 막의 전기화학 반응에 의한 개미산의 산화효율은 전극에 걸어주는 전압과 반응시간에 따라 증가하였으나 투과량(flux)에는 거의 무관하였다. TiO2/SnO2 복합막을 사용한 경우 외부 전압을 27V 걸어주었을때 77% 정도의 산화효율을 얻을 수 있었으며 TiO2 /stainless steel 복합막에서는 90% 이상이었다. 광촉매 전기화학 반응을 이용함으로써 높은 투과량하에서도 개미산의 산화효율을 단순한 TiO2 광촉매 반응에서 보다 6~7배 가량 증진시킬 수 있었다.

The electrochemical oxidation of p-methoxyphenol and hydroquinone for wastewater treatment application was investigated on platinum anode. At the cyclic voltammetry, it was observed that nagative shift of peak potential of p-methoxyphenol and hydroqinone as the pH of electrolytes increases and the peak current showed higher at strong electrolytes than weak electrolytes. In the case of p-methoxyphenol, the optimum electrode potential of controlled potential electrolysis was observed at the potential region of 0.8-1.0 (V vs. SCE) and hydroquinone was showed at the potential of l.0(V vs. SCE). Specially the oxidation rate of p-methoxyphenol and hydroquinone was showed high value in the acid electrolytes.

In this work, we prepared a heterojunction anode with a surface layer of SnO2-Sb-Ni (SSN) on a Ti/IrO2 electrode by thermal decomposition to improve the electrochemical activity of the Ti/IrO2 electrode. The Ti/IrO2-SSN electrode showed significantly improved electrochemical activity compared with Ti/IrO2. For the 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1 M Na2SO4 electrolytes, the onset potential of the Ti/IrO2-SSN electrode shifted in the positive direction by 0.1 VSCE and 0.4 VSCE, respectively. In 2.0-2.5 V voltages, the concentration in Ti/IrO2-SSN was 2.59-214.6 mg/L Cl2, and Ti/IrO2 was 0.55-49.21 mg/L Cl2. Moreover, the generation of the reactive chlorine species and degradation of Eosin-Y increased by 3.79-7.60 times and 1.06-2.15 times compared with that of Ti/IrO2. Among these voltages, the generation of the reactive chlorine species and degradation of Eosin-Y were the most improved at 2.25 V. Accordingly, in the Ti/IrO2-SSN electrode, it can be assumed that the competitive reaction between chlorine ion oxidation and water oxidation is minimized at an applied voltage of 2.25V.

In this study, we evaluated the energy production from plant-microbial fuel cells using representative indoor plants, such as Scindapsus aureus and Clatha minor. The maximum power density of microbial fuel cell (MFC) using S. aureus (3.36 mW/m2) was about 2 times higher than that of the MFC using C. minor (1.43 mW/m2). It was confirmed that energy recovery is possible using plant-MFCs without fuel. However, further research is needed to improve the performance of plant-MFCs. Nevertheless, plant-MFCs have proved their potential as a novel energy source to overcome the limitations of the conventional renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar cells, and could be employed to a power source for the sensor in charge of the fourth industrial revolution.
