초록

현재까지 개발되어 온 고체산화물 연료전지는 전해질로 사용되는 산소이온전도성 산화물의 저온에서의 낮은 전도도로 인해 그 사용영역이 제한되어 왔으며, 기판재료가 연료가스 확산층으로 사용되어야 한다는 점 때문에 저온작동을 위한 박막화 역시 명확한 한계를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점은 고도의 평활도를 갖는 균일한 나노기공성 기판재를 도입함으로써 해결될 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 나노기공성 기판에 비정질 금속박막을 증착/산화하는 방안을 제시한다. 초박막형 성공정으로서, 산화 후 산소이온전도성 산화물을 구성하는 합금 타겟을 장착한 DC-magnetron sputter를 사용하여 $20{\sim}200nm$의 기공크기를 갖는 나노기공성 양극산화 알루미나 기판에 비정질 금속합금막을 형성하여 산화/열처리 과정을 거쳐 초박막 산화물 전해질의 제조공정을 실현하였다. 얻어진 박막의 가스투과특성, 입자/입계의 관찰, 상전이에 따른 결정구조/미세구조변화를 관찰하여 초박막 증착 및 전해질의 나노구조제어에 필요한 제반 기본물성데이터를 확보하였다.

Solid oxide fuel cells have a limitation in their low-temperature application due to the low ionic conductivity of electrolyte materials and difficulties in thin film formation on porous gas diffusion layer. These problems can be solved by improvement of ionic conductivity through controlled nanostructure of electrolyte and adopting nanoporous electrodes as substrates which have homogeneous submicron pore size and highly flattened surface. In this study, ultra-thin oxide films having submicron thickness without gas leakage are deposited on nanoporous substrates. By oxidation of metal thin films deposited onto nanoporous anodic alumina substrates with pore size of $20nm{\sim}200nm$ using dc-magnetron sputtering at room temperature, ultra-thin and dense ionic conducting oxide films with submicron thickness are realized. The specific material properties of the thin films including gas permeation, grain/gran boundaries formation, change of crystalline structure/microstructure by phase transition are investigated for optimization of ultra thin film deposition process.
