Naphthalene derived mesophase pitch WP) was spun into short fibers by using melt-blown technology. The pitch fibers oxidative stabilization were carried out heating rates of $2^{\circ}C/min,\;5^{\circ}C/min\;and\; 10^{\circ}/min$. The heating rate was a key factor to maximate the capacity of the Li-ion secondary battery through controlling the morphology of the graphitized fiber. The diameters of the melt-blown fibers prepared were in the range of $4{\mu}m\~16{\mu}m$ with functions of air jet speed, air temperature and the temperature of the nozzle. The graphitized fibers of $10{\mu}m$ diameters showed various morphological structure with heating rate of the stabilization. Radial, radial-random and skin-core cross-sectional structure of the fibers were observed at the respective heating rate of $2^{\circ}C/min\;5^{\circ}C/min\;and\;10^{\circ}C/min$. Most crystalline structure of graphite was obtained from the fiber stabilized at heating rate of $10^{\circ}C/min$ exhibiting the best anode performance with 400 mAh/g of capacitance and $96.8\%$ of charge/discharge efficiency.

Carbon is an attractive material on electro double capacitor which depend on charge storage in the electrode/electrolyte interfacial double layer. Carbonaceous material for double layer capacitor can be obtained from carbon powder, fiber, film and porous carbon sheet. The capacitance of electrodes using an activated carbon was influenced by a filling density of the carbon, thickness and internal resistance of the electrode. In this study. to reduce internal resistance and increase electric conductivity of the electrode. activated carbon/carbon(AC/C) composite electrode was fabricated. The capacitors which have energy densities of 68F/g(at $30^{\circ}C$), 109F/g(at $60^{\circ}C$) and $68F/cm^3$(at $30^{\circ}C$), $111F/cm^3$(at $60^{\circ}C$) were fabricated by using AC/C composite electrodes.

현대 디지털 사회에서 고효율 에너지와 파워소스에 관한 요구가 커짐에 따라 차세대 에너지 저장 소자에 대한 연구가 계속되고 있다. 그 중 리튬이온 배터리, 슈퍼커패시터, 그리고 연료 전지들이 우리의 일상생활에서 점점 더 중요하게 자리잡아가고 있는데 이런 다양한 에너지 저장소자 중 슈퍼커패시터가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이는 긴 수명, 빠른 충-방전 속도, 높은 에너지 밀도, 그리고 안전함 때문이다. 슈퍼커패시터는 에너지 저장 메커니즘에 따라 두 가지로 분류될 수 있는데 전기이중층 커패시터(EDLC)와 슈도커패시터(pseudocapacitor)로 나누어질 수 있다. 슈도커패시터는 active 물질과 전해질 이온 간의 전기화학적 반응으로 인해 EDLC보다 더 많은 에너지를 저장할 수 있다. 그러므로 지금까지 새로운 형태의 슈도용량성 물질을 만들기 위한 노력이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학적증착 방법을 통해 graphene-like ${\beta}$-nickel hydroxide (${\beta}-Ni(OH)_2$) 나노판 구조를 전도성 직물에 합성하였다. ${\beta}-Ni(OH)_2$ 슈도커패시터의 유연하고 효율적인 비용의 전극으로서 높은 비정전용량, 우수한 전기화학 가역성, 그리고 뛰어난 사이클 안정성을 보였다. 이런 쉬운 방법으로 유연한 전도성 직물에 합성된 metal hydroxide/oxide 나노구조는 웨어러블 에너지 저장소자와 변환소자 분야에 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

A hybrid electrochemical capacitor having both characteristics of electric double layer capacitance and pseudo-capacitance was studied throughout cell tests. Asymmetric electrodes with $Ni(OH)_2/activated$ carbon based positive electrode and activated carbon based negative electrode were used in preparing test cells of $5\times5cm^2$. Cyclic voltammetry measurements and impedance measurements were conducted to understand electrochemical behavior of each electrode. To find an optimal mass ratio of negative to positive electrode, charge-discharge cycle tests were also performed.

This paper was simulated the electric field distribution in dielectric tube with two layers and spherical dielectric in water. The reactor was made up of the spherical dielectric that is diameter : 2.5[mm], ${\epsilon}_r$ : 5, 25, 100, 1000, 5000 respectively and two glass plate being 2[mm] thickness, ${\epsilon}_r$ : 5 as electrode. The discharge gap was 9[mm]. As a result of the simulation, in case of being about the same value between the dielectric constant of spherical dielectric and water, when the reactor was applied to high voltage, dielectric polarization characteristic was trending toward disappearance. To get more strong electric field, the dielectric constant should be higher comparatively, Increasing the spherical dielectric constant, the location of equippotential line was shifting from the interior to the exterior.

The experiment was performed by using the condenser discharge ignition device in a constant volume combustion chamber for high pressure, equivalent to the TDC of spark ignition engine, which makes the forced turbulent field possible. The conclusions obtained under various initial pressures, initial temperatures, and turbulent conditions of the methanol-air mixture are as follows : As initial pressure, initial temperature of the mixture, and the ignition energy increase, the inflammability limit expands, but the lean inflammability limit decreases as turbulence intensity increases. Combustion duration is shorter in the case of the lower initial pressure, the higher initial temperature, an equivalence ratio of 1.1-1.2, and even though turbulence intensity increases up to optimum value. Maximum combustion pressure increases in turbulent ambience under the same mixture condition, only in the case each optimum turbulence intensity exists under every condition. As the turbulence intensity increases .tau.$_{10}$ proportion increases while the .tau.$_{pr}$ proportion decreases....

In this experimental study we propose the double dielectric barrier discharge(DDBD) reactor to produce as high an electric field as possible. DDBD reactor is designed to remove $NO_x$ at atmospheric pressures from the moving pollution source such as diesel automobile DDBD reactor consisted of two cylinder glass tubes arranged so that the gas flow was directed between the two tubes. Inside of the inner tube was filled with small metal beads and outside of the inner tube was wounded with stainless wire to form the electrode. The outer tube was surrounded by an aluminum foil In this reactor there are three electrodes, i.e. metal bead(C), helical wire(I) and aluminum foil(0). By using DDBD reactor we will report some interesting results of treatment of the gas which is the dilute mixtures of NO in N2. And then we compared thee results with the results of cylinder-wire(CW) which is one of popularly used reactor in non-thermal plasma applications.

This study presents a comprehensive study on the synthesis and characterization of PVI-PGMA/LiTFSI polymeric membrane electrolytes and CxNy-C flexible electrodes for energy storage applications. The dual-functional PVI-PGMA copolymer exhibited excellent ionic conductivity, with the PVI-PGMA73/LiTFSI200 membrane electrolyte achieving the highest conductivity of 1.0 × 10^-3 S cm^-1. The electrochemical performance of the CxNy-C electrodes was systematically investigated, with C3N2-C demonstrating superior performance, achieving the highest specific capacitance of 958 F g^-1 and lowest charge transfer resistance (R_ct) due to its highly interconnected hybrid structure comprising nanowires and polyhedrons, along with binary Co/Ni oxides, which provided abundant redox-active sites and facilitated ion diffusion. The presence of a graphitic carbon shell further contributed to the enhanced electrochemical stability during charge-discharge cycles. These results highlight the potential of PVI-PGMA/LiTFSI polymeric membrane electrolytes and CxNy-C electrodes for advanced energy storage devices, such as supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries, paving the way for further advancements in sustainable and high-performance energy storage technologies.

Desalination effects of capacitive deionization (CDI) process was studied using $TiO_2$/activated carbon electrode. In order to enhance the wettability of electrode and decrease a electrode resistance, $TiO_2$ was coated on activated carbon. By means of $TiO_2$ coating on activated carbon, electric double layer to adsorption content in CDI process was increased. It was identified from TEM, XRD, and XPS that the activated carbon based on $TiO_2$ composite was fabricated successfully by means of sol-gel method. As a results of cyclic voltammetry and impedance, it was identified that $TiO_2$/activated carbon electrode has more electric double later capacitance and less diffusion resistance than activated carbon. Also charge-discharge and ion conductivity profiles showed that the ion removal ratios of $TiO_2$/activated carbon electrode in NaCl electrolyte of $1000\;{\mu}S/cm$ more increased about 39% than that of activated carbon. In conclusion it was possible to identify that the carbon electrode coated $TiO_2$ as electrode material was more effective than raw carbon electrode.
