본 논문에서 탄소나노튜브의 성장 제어를 위해 양극산화 알루미늄 템플레이트를 사용하였다. Si 기판위에 TiN과 Ni 층을 순서대로 증착하였으며 알루미늄을 그 위에 증착하였다. 또한 양극산화 과정은 수산법을 이용하였고 탄소나노튜브의 성장은 마이크로웨이브 플라즈마 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 성장하였다. 양극산화 알루미늄 층 과 탄소나노튜브의 관찰을 위해서 FE-SEM 을 사용하였으며 성장된 탄소나노튜브의 직경은 40 nm 이고 길이는 약 $1\;{\mu}m$ 내외로 확인되었다.

Childhood and adolescent onset-bipolar disorders have higher rate of comorbidity with anxiety disorders as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct disorder. Obsessive compulsive disorder, social phobia, panic disorder, and separational anxiety disorder are common comorbid anxiety disorders with bipolar disorders in child and adolescent. Prospective and reliable data on temporal and causal relationship between the onset of bipolar disorders and the onset of comorbid anxiety disorders are still in debate. The authors report 2 adolescent cases with antidepressant induced-manic episodes with preceding anxiety symptoms. The authors suggest careful prescription of antidepressants for anxiety disorders, even for those who do not have definite past history or family history of bipolar disorders. Further comprehensive and prospective studies are requested for the temporal relationship and pharmacological guideline for comorbid bipolar disorders and anxiety disorder in child and adolescent.

Developing novel anode materials to replace the Pt anode currently used in electrolytic reduction is an important issue on pyroprocessing. In this study, the electrochemical behavior of TiN was investigated as the conductive ceramic anode which evolves O₂ gas during the reaction. The feasibility and stability of the TiN anode was examined during the electrolytic reduction of UO₂. The TiN anode could electrochemically convert UO₂ to metallic U in a LiCl–Li₂O molten salt electrolyte. No oxidation of TiN was observed during the reaction; however, the formation of voids in the bulk section appeared to limit the lifetime of the TiN anode.

Degradation is commonly observed in field-aged PV modules due to corrosion of the photovoltaic ribbon. The reduced performance is caused by a loss of fill factor due to the high series resistance in the PV ribbon. This study aimed to mitigate the degradation by corrosion using five sacrificial anodes - Al, Zn and their alloys - to identify the most effective material to mitigate the corrosion of the PV ribbon. The corrosion behavior of the five sacrificial anode materials were examined by open circuit potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization tests, and galvanic current density and potential measurements using a zero resistance ammeter. Immersion tests for 120 hours were also conducted using materials and damp heat test tests were performed for 1500 hours using 4 cell mini modules. The Al-3Mg and Al-3Zn-1Mg sacrificial anodes had a low corrosion rate and reduced drop in power, making then suitable for long-term use.

We have fabricated porous aluminum oxide using flexible and thin aluminum foils with thickness of 0.025 and 0.2 mm. These foils were anodized with 0.3 M oxalic acid solution after being electropolished with ethanol/perchloric acid. During the anodization, the temperature of the electrolyte was maintained at $9^{\circ}C$ and the anodization voltage was varied between 0.4 and 40 V The surface of the anodized aluminum oxide was studied with a scanning electron microscope. From the scanning electron micrograph, we observed that when the voltage applied was above 1 V for a long period of time, due to a strong electrolysis reaction in electrolyte, the surface of the anodized oxide was destroyed. However, when the anodization voltage was less than 1 V, the anodization process was very stable and lasted much longer. Our results show that for a thin aluminum foil, unlike a thick plate, one requires small anodization voltage less than 1 V to form a porous aluminum oxide for long anodization time.

$TiO_2$films for photocatalytic reaction were synthesized by anodizing process. The photocatalytic efficiencies of anodized $TiO_2$were evaluated by the rate of decomposition of aniline blue. The properties of photocatalysis on anodic $TiO_2$films have been observed, but the efficiencies of photocatalytic reaction depended on the conditions of films formation. The microstructure of the anodic film formed in $H_2SO_4$ solution differed from that of $TiO_2$films formed in $H_2SO_4+H_3PO_4$ solution. It has been shown that the appropriate applied-voltage for anodizing of titanium for photocatalysis was 180V in both aqueous solutions.

To investigate the mechanism of the reaction of electrolytic oxidation of iodide to iodate ions, polarization curves are determined in various kinds of solution using electrodeposited lead peroxide and platinum anodes. It was observed from the polarization curves that the limiting current is exists at concentration 1.5 M of potassium iodide, and these limiting current disappeared as potassium hydroxide was added up to concentration of 0.1 M. while in case of platinum anode, limiting current did not appear in dilute potassium iodide solution. These results are owing to the chemical reaction, $PbO_2+2I^{-}+2H^+{\to}PbO+I_2+H_{2}O$ ocurring at the surface of lead peroxide anode. Also, we studied to obtain the optimum conditions of electrolytic preparation of iodate from iodide solution using a cell without the diaphragm. The results are that; (a) addition of potassium dichromate at the anti-reducing agent is proper in concentration of 0.1 g/l, (b) electrolytic temperature is not so much effective in raising the current efficiency, (c) current efficiency is increased with current density, and (d) electrolysis is the most effective in weak alkaline solutions.

Composite cathodes of $50/50\;vol\%$ LSM-YSZ $(La_{-x}Sr_xMnO_3-yttria\;stabilized\;zirconia)$ were deposited onto dense YSZ electrolytes by colloidal deposition technique. The cathode characteristics were then examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and studied by ac-impedance spectroscopy (IS). The conditioning effects on LSM-YSZ cathodes were seen and remedies for these effects were noted in order to improve the performance of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). The effects of temperature on impedance, surface contamination on cathode bonding to YSZ electrolyte, changing Pt paste, aerosol spray technique applied to curved surface on microstructure and cell to cell variability were solved by testing at $900^{\circ}C$, sanding the YSZ surface, using only one batch of Pt paste, using flat YSZ plates and using consistent procedures and techniques, respectively. And then, reproducible impedance spectra were confirmed by using the improved cell and the typical spectra measured for an (air)LSM-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ(air) cell at $900^{\circ}C$ were composed of two depressed arcs. Impedance characteristics of the LSM-YSZ cathodes were also affected by experimental conditions such as catalytic interlayer, composite cathode compositions and applied current.
