We synthesized porous $Co_3O_4/RuO_2$ composite using the soft template method. Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was used to make micell as a cation surfactant. The precipitation of cobalt ion and ruthenium ion for making porosity in particles was induced by $OH^-$ ion. The porous $Co_3O_4/RuO_2$ composite was completely synthesiszed after anealing until $250^{\circ}C$ at $3^{\circ}C$/min. From the XRD ananysis, we were able to determine that the porous $Co_3O_4$/RuO2 composite was comprised of nanoparticles with low crystallinity. The shape or structure of the porous $Co_3O_4/RuO_2$ composite was studied by FE-SEM and FE-TEM. The size of the porous $Co_3O_4/RuO_2$ composite was 20~40 nm. From the FE-TEM, we were able to determine that porous cavities were formed in the composite particles. The electrochemical performance of the porous $Co_3O_4/RuO_2$ composite was measured by CV and charge-discharge methods. The specific capacitances, determined through cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement, were ~51, ~47, ~42, and ~33 F/g at 5, 10, 20, and 50 mV/sec scan rates, respectively. The specific capacitance through charge-discharge measurement was ~63 F/g in the range of 0.0~1.0 V cutoff voltage and 50 mAh/g current density.

Ru-Co가 복합 치환된 M-type Ba-ferrite($BaFe_{12-2x}Ru_xCo_xO_{19}$)의 치환량 x의 변화에 따른 자기적 특성과 전파흡수 특성에 관해 조사하였다. 기존의 Ti-Co를 치환시킨 경우보다 적은 양의 치환(x=0.3)으로 면내 자기이방성을 보이는 낮은 보자력($H_c$)과 높은 포화자화($M_s$) 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 Ru-Co 치환량 조절에 의해 GHz 대역에서 자연공명주파수의 조절이 가능하였다. 소결체 및 복합체에서 흡수 주파수 대역은 보자력이 증가할수록 고주파 대역으로 이동한다. 복합체에서 페라이트 혼합량이 증가함에 따라 복소투자율과 복소유전율의 값이 증가하기 때문에 정합주파수는 저주파 대역으로 이동한다. 이러한 특성들을 이용하여 순수한 M-형 육방정 페라이트에 Ru-Co의 치환량, 복합체에서 페라이트 분말의 혼합량, 그리고 흡수체의 두께의 제어를 통하여 GHz 주파수 대역에서 양호한 전자파 흡수체, 노이즈 감쇠재의 제조가 가능함을 제시할 수 있다.

The rational synthesis of efficient transitional metal phosphides (TMPs) could revolutionize green hydrogen production via water splitting. Hydrogen, with the highest energy density among fuels, stands out as an excellent alternative to address environmental issues and ensure sustainable future energy generation. However, the limited availability of state-of-the-art electrocatalysts like Pt/C and RuO₂, used for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively, necessitates the development of cost-effective and non-noble electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production. In this context, we present a novel heterointerface-modulated heterostructure design comprising ultrathin nanosheets of a 3D Co₂P/VP heterostructure on a conductive nickel foam substrate. This heterostructure demonstrates remarkably low overpotentials of 96 mV for HER and 237 mV for OER at 10 mA cm^-2. The material's robust electrochemical kinetics are further evidenced by low Tafel slopes of 68.28 mV dec^-1 and 116.54 mV dec^-1, respectively.
