Degradation of 2,6-Dichlorophenol (DCP) using liquid ferrate(VI) synthesized by wet oxidation method has been studied. Several parameters such as pH (acid, base and neutral), DCP initial concentration, ferrate dosage, and temperature have been examined to determine the optimal experimental conditions. The ferrate(VI) has useful properties such as strong oxidizing power and selectivity and generates a non-toxic end product, Fe(III). Ferrate ion reduced rapidly to Fe(III) and oxygen in acidic and neutral conditions. The experimental results showed the higher DCP degradation efficiency in the neutral condition than in the acidic and basic conditions. The oxidation of DCP strongly depended on the dosage of ferrate added to the reactor and DCP initial concentration. With increasing of ferrate dosage the degradation efficiency of DCP increased, while the degradation efficiency of DCP decreased with increasing of DCP initial concentration. The effect of temperature has been tested at 4 different levels (10, 25, 35, and $50^{\circ}C$). The optimal temperature was obtained in $25^{\circ}C$ and degradation efficiency decreased as the temperature increased in the range from $25^{\circ}C$ to $50^{\circ}C$. The DCP degradation pathways were studied and proposed based on the intermediate products identified by GC/MS analysis.

⁵⁵Fe and ⁶³Ni are key factors in deciding the proper handling of the decommissioning of radioactive waste from nuclear facilities. For determining beta emitting radionuclides, the dismantled waste samples should be completely decomposed and separated from the sample matrix. This study reports the comparison results of the recovering efficiencies of Iron and Nickel with wet digestion methods that use various acids and alkali-fusion methods. Various matrices of NIST SRMs (1646a, 1944, 8704, 2709a, and 1633c), the recovering efficiencies of using alkali-fusion methods ranged from 95.3 to 98.3% for Iron, and from 86.6 to 88.1% for Nickel within about 2% of relative standard deviation. On the other hand, those using one of the three wet digestion methods ranged from 77.9 to 105.3% for Iron and from 40.1 to 78.5% for Nickel with over 10% of relative standard deviation. Therefore, one may draw the conclusion that the analytical results derived from Iron and Nickel using alkali-fusion methods are fairly reliable due to the recovering efficiencies observed.

We investigated the effect of mechanical back side damage in Czochralski grown silicon wafer. The intensity of mechanical damage was evaluated by minority carrier recombination lifetime by laser excitation/microwave reflection photoconductivity decay method, degree of X-ray diffuse scattering, X-ray section topography, and wet oxidation/preferential etching methods. The data indicate that the higher the mechanical damage intensity, the lower the minority carrier lifetime, and the magnitude of diffuse scattering and X-ray excess intensity increased proportionally, and it was at Grade 1:Grade 2:Grade 3=1:7:18.4 that the normalized relative quantization ratio of excess intensity in damaged wafer was calculated, which are normalized to the excess intensity from sample Grade 1.

7개 나라가 참여해서 공동으로 제작하고 있는 국제핵융합실험로(ITER)는 2020년경에 제작 설치가 완료될 예정이다. ITER 장치에는 6개의 시험 블랑켓 모듈(Test Blanket Module : TBM)이 장착될 예정이며, 그 중에서 한국도 1개를 독자적으로 제작해서 설치할 예정이다. 한국형 헬륨 냉각 고체형 증식(Helium Cooled Solid Breeder : HCSB) TBM이며, 한국은 ITER 참여국 중 유일하게 중성자 반사 재료를 채택한 것이 특징이다. 중성자 반사재료로는 지름 1 mm 내외의 흑연 페블에 SiC를 코팅해서 사용할 예정이다. SiC는 고온저방사화 물질로 차세대 핵융합로의 구조 재료로도 개발되고 있는 물질로, 이렇게 하면 흑연의 단점인 기계적 특성 향상뿐만 아니라, 산화나 화재 등에 대한 사고의 부담도 크게 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 흑연위에 SiC를 코팅하는 방법은 여러 가지가 있으며, 그 중에서 비교적 간단한 건식 방법은 RF Sputtering, PECVD 등이 있다. 건식은 코팅방법이 간단하고 비교적 쉬운 편이지만 페블표면에 양질의 SiC 박막을 얻기가 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 이들 방법보다 습식법은 코팅이 까다롭지만 양질의 코팅막을 비교적 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. CVD의 경우 전구체 물질로 여러 가지 물질이 사용될 수 있으며 대표적으로 $SiH_4$, $Si(CH_3)_4$, $CH_3SiCl_3$ 등이 있으며, 캐리어 가스로는 $H_2$가 사용된다. 이렇게 얻어진 SiC 코팅페블은 흑연에 비해 파괴강도도 향상되고 마모 등에 강한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

고체산화물연료전지(SOFC) cell은 cathode, electrolyte 및 cathode층으로 구성되어져 있는데, 이 cell의 적층은 EVD, CVD, sputtering등의 기상공정과 screen printing, tape casting, dip coating등의 습식 공정으로 제조한다. 적층 공정의 경우 supports의 크기와 형태에 따라 적용에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적층공정의 문제점을 해결코자 전사지를 제조하여 평관형 anode supports 위에 적층하여 cell을 제조하였다. 전사지를 이용한 적층방법은 매우 간단하고 두께와 형상제어가 쉽게 가능하였다. 본 연구를 상세히 언급하면 평관형 anode 지지체를 압출법을 통해 제작하였고, 반소된 지지체 위에 anode function layer와 electrolyte(YSZ)층을 형성한 후 $1400^{\circ}C$ 동시 소결하여 치밀한 전해질 층을 형성하였다. 그 후 cthode층을 형성한 후, $1200^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 소결하여 porous한 전극층을 형성하여 cell을 제작하였다. 그 후 Anode supporter위에 전사지를 이용하여 적층한 경우 cell 소결정도를 SEM으로 관찰하였고, 전기화학특성으로는 출력과 분극저항을 측정하였다. 이를 통해 새로운 구성소재 증착방법 즉 전사지를 이용하는 방법을 개발하였다.

높은 소수반송자 수명(life-time)을 가지는 고품위 실리콘 기판은 고효율 실리콘 이종접합 태양전지 제작을 위한 중요 요소 기술 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 n-type c-Si 기판을 이용한 고효율 실리콘 이종접합 태양전지제작을 위해 hot water oxidation(HWO) 공정을 이용하여 고품위 실리콘 기판을 제작하였다. 실리콘 기판의 특성 분석은 Qusi-steady state photoconductance (QSSPC)를 이용하여 소수반송자 수명을 측정하였으며, 기판의 면저항 및 wetting angle을 측정하여 공정에 따른 특성변화를 분석하였다. Saw damage etching 된 기판을 웨이퍼 표면으로부터 particle, 금속 불순물, 유기물 등의 오염을 제거하기 위해 $60{\sim}85^{\circ}C$로 가열된 Ammonia수, 과산화수소수($NH_4OH/H_2O_2/H_2O$), 염산 과산화수소수($HCL/H_2O_2/H_2O$) 및 실온 희석불산(DHF) 중에 기판을 각각 10분 정도씩 침적하여, 각각의 약액 처리 후에 매회 10분 정도씩 순수(DI water)에서 rinse하여 RCA 세정을 진행한 후 HWO 공정을 통해 기판 표면에 얇은 산화막 을 형성시켜 패시베이션 해주었다. HF를 이용하여 자연산화막을 제거시 HWO 공정을 거친 기판은 매끄러운 표면과 패시베이션 영향으로 기판의 소수 반송자 수명이 증가하며, 태양전지 제작시 접촉저항을 감소시켜 효율을 증가 시킬수 있다. HWO 공정은 반응조 안의 DI water 온도와 반응 시간에 따라 life-time을 측정하여 진행하였으며, 이후 PE-CVD법으로 증착된 a-Si:H layer 및 투명전도 산화막, 금속전극을 증착하여 실리콘 이종접합 태양전지를 제작하였다.

A Crofer 22 APU mesh coated with a conductive ceramic material was developed as an alternative cathode current collector to Ag-based materials for solid oxide fuel cells. $(La_{0.80}Sr_{0.20})_{0.98}MnO_3$ (LSM) layer was deposited onto the Crofer mesh using a spray-coating technique, in an attempt to mitigate the degradation of electrical properties due to surface oxidation at high temperatures. The oxidation experiments at $800^{\circ}C$ in air indicated that the areaspecific resistance (ASR) of the LSM-coated Crofer mesh was strongly dependent on the wire diameter and the contact morphology between mesh and cell. In addition, the post-heat-treatment in $H_2/N_2$ resulted in a reduced thickness of Cr-containing oxide scales at the interface between Crofer mesh and LSM layer, leading to a decreased ASR.

This study reports the high-temperature oxidation kinetics, ASR(area specific resistance), and interfacial microstructure of metallic interconnects coated with conductive oxides in oxidation atmosphere at $800^{\circ}C$, The conductive material LSC($La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CoO_3$, prepared by Solid State Reaction) was coated on the Crofer22APU. The contact behavior of coating layer/metal substrate was increased by sandblast. The electrical conductivity of the LSC coated Crpfer22APU was measured by a DC two probe four wire method for 4000hr, in air at $800^{\circ}C$. Microstructure and composition of the coated layer interface were investigated by SEM/EDS. These results show that a coated LSC layer prevents the formation and growth of oxide scale such as $Cr_2O_3$ and enhances the long-term stability and electrical performance of metallic interconnects for SOFCs.
