본 연구는 기계화학적 활성화 된 스카치테이프가 금속 이온 수용액에서 유발하는 자발적 금속 나노입자 필름 형성의 구동력과 그 크기를 전기화학적 방법으로 분석했다. 은 필름이 형성된 테이프를 질산에 녹이고, 완충용액과 섞어 전기화학 측정용 샘플을 준비했다. 양극 벗김 전압전류법의 피크 신호를 통해, 은 입자의 자발적 환원에 소모된 전하량을 측정했다. 이를 검정 곡선에 대입하여, 환원된 은의 양을 구했다. 그 결과 은의 양이 선행 연구 대비 106배 많은 점, 수용액에서 전하를 가진 이온들의 짧은 수명을 참고하여, 자발적 반응의 구동력을 라디칼로 결론 냈다.

In this study, several kinds of active carbons with high specific surface area and micro pore structure were prepared from the coconut shell charcoal using chemical activation method. The physical property of prepared active carbon was investigated by experimental variables such as activating chemical agents to char coal ratio, flow rate of inert gas and temperature. It was shown that chemical activation with KOH and NaOH was successfully able to make active carbons with high surface area of 1900~2500 m2/g and mean pore size of 1.85~2.32 nm. The coin cell using water-based binder in the electrolyte of LiPF6 dissolved in mixed organic solvents (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%) showed better capacity than that of oil-based binder. Also, it was found that the coin cell of water-based binder shows an improved cycling performance and coulombic efficiency.

Activated carbon nanofibers(ACNF) were prepared from polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based nanofibersusing CO2 activation methods with varying activation process times. The surface and structural characteristics of the ACNF were observed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. N2 adsorption isotherm characteristics at 77 K were con-firmedby Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Dubinin-Radushkevich equations. As experimental results, many holes or cavernous structures were found on the fibersurfaces after the CO2 activation as confirmedby scanning electron microscopy analysis. Specificsurface areas and pore volumes of the prepared ACNFs were enhanced within a range of 10 to 30 min of acti-vation times. Performance of the porous PAN-based nanofibersas an electrode for electrical double layer capacitors was evaluated in terms of the activation conditions.
