Molten salt reactors represent a promising advancement in nuclear technology due to their potential for enhanced safety, higher efficiency, and reduced nuclear waste. However, the development of structural materials that can survive under severe corrosion environments is crucial. In the present work, pure Ni was deposited on the surface of 316H stainless steel using a directed energy deposition (DED) process. This study aimed to fabricate pure Ni alloy layers on an STS316H alloy substrate. It was observed that low laser power during the deposition of pure Ni on the STS316H substrate could induce stacking defects such as surface irregularities and internal voids, which were confirmed through photographic and SEM analyses. Additionally, the diffusion of Fe and Cr elements from the STS316H substrate into the Ni layers was observed to decrease with increasing Ni deposition height. Analysis of the composition of Cr and Fe components within the Ni deposition structures allows for the prediction of properties such as the corrosion resistance of Ni.

In this paper, a three dimensional numerical analysis tool was applied to study the PEMFC performance characteristics. The porosity and electrical conductivity of GDL and CL as well as the relative humidity of anode and cathode channel gas were selected as simulation parameters. As the porosity of GDL and CL increases, current density and temperature increase because reactant gases diffuse well. As the electrical conductivity of GDL and CL increases, current density and temperature increase due to increased electron transfer rate. As anode relative humidity increases, current density and temperature increase. Unlike anode, current density and temperature increase when cathode relative humidity increases from 0 percent to 60 percent. Then current density and temperature decrease when cathode relative humidity increases from 60 percent to 100 percent.

Performance of direct methanol fuel cell using high porous active carbon as an uncatalysed diffusion layer in anode (composite electrode) has been evaluated. Effects of porous active carbon in anode were investigated by galvanostatic method and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The single cell was operated with 2.5 M methanol at temperature of 80-120℃ and showed performance of 210-510 mA/cm2 at 0.4V. By replacing conventional electrode with composite electrode, the increment of 290 mA/cm2 in current density was obtained at 90℃and 0.4V. The potential decay of the single cell was about 14.5% for 20 days operation.

콘크리트 표면의 상태에 따라 염화물은 증가 또는 감소하게 되며 이는 철근부식 및 내구수명에 매우 중요한 인자가 된다. 콘크리트의 내구성 저하를 방지하기 위해 표면함침과 같이 많은 표면강화 기술이 개발되었으나 이중 콘크리트 구조와 확산계수의 시간의존성을 고려한 염화물 해석방법은 매우 제한적이다. 본 논문에서는 표면 강화된 이중구조 콘크리트에 대해 시간의존성 확산계수를 도입하여 염화물 해석기법을 제안하였으며, 역해석을 통하여 기존의 실험결과와 비교하였다. 2년간 비말대, 해수중, 조석대 상태에 노출된 표면 함침된 콘크리트 시편에 대해 표면염화물량과 확산계수를 도출하고 Life-365에서 제안한 확산계수 식과 비교 분석하였다. 시간의존성을 고려한 결과 비말대 시편의 오차는 0.28에서 0.20 수준으로, 조석대 시편은 0.29에서 0.11 수준으로, 해수중에서는 0.54에서 0.40 수준으로 오차가 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Life365에서 사용되는 확산계수식을 사용할 경우, 과다한 확산계수로 인해 상대오차가 커지고 높은 침투깊이(e)와 낮은 확산계수비(D1/D2)를 필요로 함을 알 수 있다.
