This study was conducted to reclassify Yongdang series based on the second edition of Soil Taxonomy : A Basic System of Soil Classification for Making and Interpreting Soil Surveys. Morphological properties of typifying pedon of Yongdang series were investigated and physico-chemical properties were analyzed according to Soil Survey Laboratory Methods Manual. The typifying pedon of Yongdang series has dark reddish brown (5YR 2/3) silt loam Ap horizon (0~14 cm), dark brown (7.5YR 2/3) silt loam BA horizon (14~32 cm), dark brown (7.5YR 2/3) clay loam Bt horizon (32~57 cm), dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6) silty clay loam Btx1 horizon (57~110 cm), and dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/6) silty clay loam Btx2 horizon(more than 110 cm). That occurs on gently sloping lava plain and is derived from baslt materials. The typifying pedon has an argillic horizon from a depth of 32 to more than 110 cm and a fragipan from a depth of 57 to more than 110 cm. That has a base saturation (sum of cations) of 35% or more at 75 cm below the upper boundary of the fragipan. That can be classified as Alfisol, not as Inceptisol. The typifying pedon has udic soil moisture regime, and can be classified as Udalf. That has a fragipan with an upper boundary within 100 cm of the mineral soil surface, and keys out as Fragiudalf. Also that meets the requirements of Typic Fragiudalf. That has 18% to 35% clay at the particle-size control section, and has thermic soil temperature regime. Yongdang series can be classified as fine loamy, mixed, thermic family of Typic Fragiudalfs, not as fine loamy, mixed, thermic family of Aquic Eutrudepts.

Gas diffusion layer (GDL) is one of the main components of PEMFC as a pathway of reactants from a flow field to an electrode, water transport in reverse direction, heat management and structural support of MEA. In this study, the effect of GDL on fuel cell performance was investigated for commercial products such as 39BC and JNT30-A3. Polarization curve measurements were performed at different flow rates and relative humidity conditions using 25 ㎠ unit cell. The parameters on operating conditions were calculated using an empirical equation. The electrical resistance increased as the GDL PTFE content increased. The crack of microporous layer had influence on the concentration loss as water pathway. In addition, the ohmic resistance increased as the relative humidity decreased, but decreased as the current density increased due to water formation. Curve fitting analysis using the empirical equation model was applied to identify the tendency of performance parameters on operating conditions for the gas diffusion layer.

Although Lithium metal battery (LMB) has a very large theoretical capacity, it has a critical problem such as formation of dendrite which causes short circuit and short cycle life of the LMB. In this study, PDMS/GO composite with evenly dispersed graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets in poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was synthesized and coated into a thin film, resulting in the effect that can physically suppress the formation of dendrite. However, PDMS has low ion conductivity, so that we attained improved ion conductivity of PDMS/GO thin film by etching technic using 5wt% hydrofluoric acid (HF), to facilitate the movement of lithium (Li) ions by forming the channel of Li ions. The morphology of the PDMS/GO thin film was observed to confirm using SEM. When the PDMS/GO thin film was utilized to lithium metal battery system, the columbic efficiency was maintained at 87.4% on average until the 100^th cycles. In addition, voltage profiles indicated reduced overpotential in comparison to the electrode without thin film.

Understanding the pore structure including pore shape and connectivity in unconventional reservoirs is essential to increase the recovery rate of unconventional energy resources such as shale gas and oil. In this study, we found analysis condition to probe the nanoscale pore structure in shale reservoirs using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) and Ion Milling System (IMS). A-068 core samples from Liard Basin are used to probe the pore structure in shale reservoirs. The pore structure is analyzed with different pretreatment methods and analysis condition because each sample has different characteristics. The results show that surface milling by FIB is effective to obtain pore images of several micrometers local area while milling a large-area by IMS is efficient to observe various pore structure in a short time. Especially, it was confirmed that the pore structure of rocks with high content of carbonate minerals and high strength can be observed with milling by IMS. In this study, the analysis condition and process for observing the pore structure in the shale reservoirs is established. Further studies are needed to perform for probing the effect of pore size and shape on the enhancement of shale gas recovery.

Coal combustion by-product (CCB) bottom ash, obtained from burning of pulverized coal, has physical properties which are similar to that of natural sand with particle sizes ranging from fine gravel to fine sand. Several studies have been completed to utilize pulverized coal combustion (PCC) bottom ash as a partial or full replacement of fine aggregate in cement concrete products. The objectives of this study were to develop air-entrained concrete composites using PCC bottom ash from burning of Illinois coal and to demonstrate the use of these composites on real-world projects. The results obtained show that the compressive, splitting-tensile, and flexural strengths of concrete composites is slightly lower than that of conventional concrete are early curing ages. However, after 60 days of curing, the strength of concrete composites is either equal to or slightly higher than that of an equivalent conventional concrete. The concrete composites showed lower resistance to chloride ion penetrability than that of an equivalent conventional concrete at early curing ages. However, after 28 days of curing, concrete composites showed better resistance to chloride ion penetrability compared to that of an equivalent conventional concrete.

표면 조직화의 목적은 태양전지 표면에서의 입사되는 빛의 반사율을 감소 시키고, 웨이퍼 내에서 빛의 통과 길이를 길게 하며, 흡수되는 빛의 양을 증가시키는 것이다. 본 연구에는 습식, 건식 표면조직화 방법에 따른 표면 형상과 표면 반사도를 분석 하였으며, 셀을 제작하여 전기적 특성과 광학적 특성의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 표면 조직화 공정은 염기성 용액인 KOH를 이용한 식각 방법과 Ag를 이용한 metal-assisted 식각, 산증기를 이용한 식각, 플라즈마를 이용한 반응성 이온식각을 적용하여 제작하였다. 표면 반사율을 400~1000 nm 사이의 파장에서 측정하였으며 KOH를 이용하여 식각한 샘플이 9.11%의 표면 반사율을 가졌으며 KOH를 이용하여 식각한 표면에 추가로 metal-assisted 식각을 한 샘플이 2%로 가장 낮은 표면 반사율을 보였다. 표면 조직화 후 동일 조건으로 셀을 제작 하여 효율 측정 결과 Ag를 이용한 2단계 metal-assisted chemical 식각이 15.83%의 가장 낮은 광변환 효율을 보였으며 RIE를 이용한 2단계 반응성 이온 식각공정이 17.78%로 가장 높은 광변환 효율을 보였다. 이 결과는 반사도 결과와 일치 하지 않았다. 표면 조직화 모양에 따른 셀 효율의 변화는 도핑 프로파일과 표면 재결합 속도의 변화 때문이라 생각되며 더 명확한 분석을 위해 양자 효율을 측정하여 분석을 시도하였다. 측정 결과 단파장 대역에서 낮은 응답특성을 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있었는데 그 이유는 낮은 반사도를 가지는 표면조직화 공정의 경우 나노사이즈의 구조를 갖기 때문에 균일한 도핑 프로파일을 얻지 못해 전자 정공의 분리가 제대로 이루어지지 못하였고 표면 재결합 속도증가의 원인으로 단락전류와 개방전압이 낮아져 효율이 떨어진 것으로 판단된다. 실험 결과 도핑 프로파일의 균일성은 셀 효율 개선을 위해 낮은 표면 반사율 만큼 중요하다는 점을 알게되었다. 낮은 반사율을 갖는 표면조직화 공정도 중요하지만 표면에 따른 균일한 도핑 프로파일을 갖는 공정을 개발한다면 단파장 응답도가 향상되어 단락전류밀도의 상승효과를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
