Lead-acid battery is used widely as a power source at a automobile, industrial machines. folk lifts. U.P.S. etc. Since lead-acid battery is cheaper than any other ones. But this battery has many disadvantages such as heavy, low energy density, environment problem etc. In this article, We introduce potential step methods to investigate corrosion behaviour of positive grids for lead alloyes.

Electrode surface reaction on three carbon materials(glassy carbon, synthesized graphite, graphite foil) in 0.5 M K2SO4 electrolyte is investigated by impedance spectroscopy during anodic polarization. The double layer capacitance of the graphite foil electrode is relatively higher than that of other two materials. The change of capacitance parameter C due to chemical adsorption on glassy carbon and synthesized graphite(PVDF graphite) is observed in 0.5 M K2SO4 solution at anodic polarization. In general, the faradic impedance on glassy carbon depends on anodic polarization, and the change of impedance parameter on graphite foil at anodic polarization is not remarkable, because this reaction is controlled by field transport.

This study was carried out for investigating the corrosion behaviors, corrosion mechanisms, and behaviors of elements on a separator for a molten carbonate fuel cell under both the electrolyte and anode side environment. A 310S austenitic stainless steel was used as the separator material. Corrosion proceeded via three steps; the formation step of corrosion product in which rapid corrosion takes place until stable corrosion product is formed after the beginning of corrosion, the protection step against corrosion until breakaway occurs after the formation step of stable corrosion product and the advancing step of corrosion after the breakaway. From the standpoint of the behavior of the elements in the specimen, Fe and Cr, Ni were enriched in the region of corrosion product, in the region of corrosion protection, and at the Cr-deplete zone, respectively. With respect to corrosion mechanism, ionization of electrolyte at the anode side was the main corrosion mechanism, and the final corrosion products were $LiFeO_2$ and $LiCrO_2$ at the anode side.

유기 발광 소자에서의 내장 전압을 변조 광전류를 이용하여 측정하였다. 내장 전압은 양극의 일함수와 음극의 일함수 차이에 해당한다. 실험적으로는 유기 발광 소자에 500W Xenon light(ORIEL Instruments 66021)로부터 나온 빛을 chopper(Stanford Research SR540)를 통해 유기 발광 소자에 조사시키면 소자에서 발생한다. 변조 광전류를 lock-in amplifier(Stanford Research SR530)를 이용하여 변조 광전류의 크기와 위상을 측정할 수 있다. 이때 변조 광전류 크기가 최소가 될 때의 외부 인가 전압을 내장 전압이라고 한다. 본 연구에서 사용한 소자의 구조는 양극/$Alq_3$/음극 구조이며, 양극으로는 ITO 혹은 ITO/PEDOT:PSS를 사용하였고, 음극으로는 Ba/Al을 사용하였다. 발광 층으로는 $Alq_3$(150nm)를 사용하였다. Ba층의 두께는 0nm에서 3nm까지 변화시켰다. Ba이 금속의 역할을 하기 위해서는 두께가 20nm 이상은 되어야 한다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 Ba의 두께가 최대 3nm이므로 금속의 역할은 하지 않을 것으로 예상되며, 음극의 일함수에 약간의 영향을 주었을 것으로 생각된다. 내장 전압은 ITO/$Alq_3$(150nm)/Ba/Al 소자 구조에서 1V를 얻었고, ITO/PEDOT:PSS/$Alq_3$(150nm)/Ba/Al 소자 구조에서는 2V로 나타났다. ITO와 Ba/Al 전극 사이에 PEDOT:PSS 층을 주입함으로써 내장 전압은 약 1V 증가하였다. 이것으로, Ba의 두께가 얇으면 음극의 전자 주입 장벽에 영향을 거의 미치지 않는다는 것을 알 수가 있다.

Fiber-Reinforced Cement Composite (FRCC) is known to be effective in mechanical effects such as cracking width control as well as steel anticorrosive effect. In this study, we examined about steel anticorrosive effect by using metal fibers including zinc fibers by accelerated corrosion test. Moreover, it was examined for salt penetration, sacrificial anode effect and formation of electric circuit that was significant effect on the steel anticorrosive effect. As a result, Steel anticorrosive effect was confirmed with mixed metal fibers on FRCC. Especially, In the case of zinc fibers with a high sacrificial anode effect, it was confirmed that the suppression of penetration and corrosion resistance were improved.

전기화학적 양극산화법에 의해 형성하는 TiO2 나노튜브층은 넓은 비표면적과 규칙적인 구조를 가지고 있어 광촉매, 태양 전지, 생체재료 분야 등 다양한 분야에서의 응용이 되고 있으며, 국내 외 많은 연구가 보고 되고 있다. 특히, 나노튜브 층의 성장 거동에 미치는 인자로는 용액의 pH, 점도 등의 전해질의 물성, 인가전압, 시간 등이 있으며, 그에 대해 많은 연구가 이루어졌고 보고되고 있다. 최근 들어, 앞서 설명한 인자 이외에 양극산화에 사용되는 기판의 특성(미세구조, 결정구조, 결함, 첨가 원소 등)이 나노튜브층 성장거동에 영향을 미친다고 보고되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전이금속으로 이루어진 Ti합금을 이용하여 첨가되는 합금원소가 산화막 성장 거동과 형태에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사 하였다. 본 연구에서는 Ti-Ni, Ti-Fe, Ti-Co 3종류 합금을 고진공 아크용해법으로 제조 하였으며, $1000^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 균질화 열처리를 하였다. 모든 합금은 최종 두께 2mm가지 냉간압연 하였으며, 양극산화는 동일한 조건에서 하였다. 생성된 나노튜브층의 표면 및 단면은 FE-SEM을 통해 관찰 하였다.

In this article, we report the fabrication of Li-rich oxide nanoparticles for Li-ion batteries. Li-rich oxides are promising cathode materials because their capacity is much higher than commercial cathode materials. However, they have several disadvantages such as low rate capability due to their low ionic and electronic conductivity. This study focuses on the fabrication of nanoparticles to enhance the rate capability of Li-rich oxide. Two types of surfactants were introduced to disperse the particles and form the nano-sized particles. The Li-rich oxide nanoparticles showed improved rate capability than pristine sample.

We synthesized nano-sized $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ ($x=0.1{\sim}0.4$) cathode catalyst for the zinc air secondary batteries by citrate method, And we measured the cathode's electrochemical characteristics according to content of strontium compose the cathode catalyst. We controlled the pH of precursor solution by 10 in the process of manufacturing the precursor, We heat treated the prepared precursor at various calcination temperature ($500{\sim}900^{\circ}C$), and examined the optimum calcinations temperature by XRD analysis and electrochemical evaluation. We examined the ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) and OER (oxygen evolution reaction) performance of the prepared $La_{1-x}Sr_xCoO_3$ catalyst powder. When we consider ORR and OER performance simultaneously, $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}CoO_3$ catalyst has shown the best performance because of its lowest voltage deference between charge and discharge.
