Using the TBP slovent extraction method, a simple and precise method for determining uranium isotopes in the environment samples was developed. The soil sample was decomposed with $HNO_3$ and HF. Uranium isotopes were extracted with 15% TBP in $CCl_4$ from aqueous phase to organic phase, and Th fraction was removed with 8M HCl. Uranium fraction was purified in back extraction step with 1M HCl. Optimized electrode position conditions of uranium Isotopes were set using a new electrode position solution including a DTPA chelating agent. The new method of uranium isotopes determination was validated with a result of application to IAEA Reference Soils.

This study is for developing a system for electro-deposition utilizing sea water containing various ions like calcium and magnesium. This is the first step research for the final goal which is a development of anti-corrosive steel for RC structure, so that this paper is mainly focused on the development for electro-deposition system. Optimum conditions for steel coating is obtained through various tests considering anode type, temperature, duration time, and current density. The composition of electro-deposition is analyzed through SEM, EDS, and XRD and it is evaluated to be $CaCO_3$ and $Mg(OH)_2$. Through measuring polarization potential and current density in the coated steel, the coating layer from the developed system is evaluated to have high resistance to steel corrosion. Additional tests and discussions on durability and structural performance in the coated steel from this work will be performed for the second step research.

The preparation method of yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) thin film for an anode support type solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) by electrophoretic deposition(EPD) and dip-coating was studied. And the difference in both preparation method was investigated through basic understanding of processing parameters which may significantly affect weight microstruxcture and defect of film. In dip-coating the thickness of film increased with time until 30 s and then the weight of film decreased with time due to particle falling off from the coagulated film. In EPD although the weight of film increased with time and applied constant-current sagging of the film was observed when the applied current was less that 0.035 mA/$cm^2$ and more than 120 s. Since YSZ thin film by EPD on porous substrate was dense smooth and homogeneous it was expected to be suitable for the electrolyte of an anode support type SOFC.

A lithium is the lightest metal on the earth. It has some attractive characteristics as a negative electrode material such as a low reduction potential (-3.04 V vs. SHE) and a high theoretical capacity ($3,860mAh\;g^{-1}$). Therefore, it has been studied as a next generation anode material for high energy lithium batteries. The thin lithium electrode is required to maximize the efficiency and energy density of the battery, but the physical roll-press method has a limitation in manufacturing thin lithium. In this study, thin lithium electrode was fabricated by electrodeposition under various conditions such as compositions of electrolytes and the current density. Deposited lithium showed strong relationship between process condition and its characteristics. The concentration of electrolyte affects to the shape of deposited lithium particle. As the concentration increases, the shape of particle changes from a sharp edged long one to a rounded lump. The former shape is favorable for suppressing dendrite formation and the elec-trode shows good stripping efficiency of 92.68% (3M LiFSI in DME, $0.4mA\;cm^{-2}$). The shape of deposited particle also affected by the applied current density. When the amount of current applied gets larger the shape changes to the sharp edged long one like the case of the low concentration electrolyte. The combination of salts and solvents, 1.5M LiFSI + 1.5M LiTFSI in DME : DOL [1 : 1 vol%] (Du-Co), was applied to the electrolyte for the lithium deposition. The lithium electrode obtained from this electrolyte composition shows the best stripping efficiency (97.26%) and the stable reversibility. This is presumed to be due to the stability of the surface film induced by the Li-F component and the DOL effect of providing film flexibility.

[ $CdSe_xTe_{1-x}$ ] ($0{\le}x{\le}1$) thin films were deposited cathodically on Ti substrates in aqueous sulfric acid solution containing 1M $CdSO_4$ and 1mM$(TeO_2+SeO_2)$. The limiting current was observed in deposition potential ranging from -0.20 to -0.65 vs.Ag/AgCl ; although its value has changed a little depending on the mole ratio x, the limiting current was almost constant in deposition potential of -0.45V in spite of the change of mole ratio x. The crystal structure of the $CdSe_xTe_{1-x}$ thin films was cubic zinc-blonde in the range of mole ratio $x=0{\sim}0.8$, and hexagonal wurtzite in the mole ratio x=1 When the mole ratio changed from x=0 to x=0.8, diffraction peaks was shifted to the larger diffraction angle.

The effect of the additives on the Zn-Ni alloy electrocrystallization from a chloride bath was investigated by means of electrochemical methodes, scanning electron microscopy and measurement of surface appearance, X-ray diffraction patterns. The additives tested were the surfactant of naphtalene-derivative, saccharin and aliphatic alcohol. The resistance of electrodeposit increased by adding the additives, whereas the effect of additives on resistance was different with current density. The nickel content of alloy deposit was increased by the addition of alcohol, while decreased by the surfactant. The surface roughness, appearance and morphology of deposit were also influenced by the type of additive. The fine, compact grains and good surface roughness could be obtained from the surfactant or alcohol -added bath, and the surfactant or saccharin improved the surface appearance.

An yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) thin film on a porous NiO-YSZ substrate for an anode support type solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) was prepared by an electrophoretic deposition(EPD). Deposition condition and film properties in order to obtain the homogeneous YSZ thin film from the EPD solution with different polarity were studied. In different case of alcohol solution, hydrogen gas was produced in aqueous solution from the electrolyte reaction under constant current above 0.138 mA /$\textrm{cm}^2$.Its reaction generated the bubble-formed defect in the deposited film and decreased weight of the film. The homogeneous YSZ thin film was formed in alcohol solution at a constant current, 0.035 mA /$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 10 s.

Zinc oxide(ZnO) thin films were cathodically deposited on ITO glass from an aqueous zinc nitrate electrolyte. Three main fabrication parameters were taken into account : deposition potential, solution concentration and growth temperature. Different layers of ZnO thin films grown by varying the three parameters were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and optical absorption spectroscopy. The prepared ZnO thin films were shown as a hexagonal wurtzite structure on the X-ray diffraction patterns and the good quality of ZnO thin films were obtained by potentiostatic cathodic deposition at -0.7V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode onto ITO glass from aqueous 0.1 mol/liter zinc nitrate electrolyte at $60^{\circ}C$.

아연계 합금도금강판은 내식성이 향상되는 반면 아연 이외의 원소 성분에 의해 고온다습에서 변색되기 쉽기 때문에 이를 억제하기 위한 후처리 기술이 필요하다. 또한, 아연계 합금도금 강판이 자동차 부품으로 적용되기 위해서는 변색 억제를 위해 처리한 후처리제가 쉽게 제거되어 인산염처리 공정에서 도금 표면에 인산염결정이 용이하게 형성되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 건식공정으로 제작된 아연계 합금도금 강판에 우레탄계 알칼리 후처리제를 도포하고, 고온다습 환경에서의 변색 억제 특성과 적정 부착량에서의 인산염처리 및 전착도장 특성에 대해 평가하였다. 두 형태의 후처리제는 건식 아연계 합금도금 강판에 도포 직후 표면에 간섭색을 나타내었으며, 첨가제를 통해 간섭색 제어가 가능하였다. 또한, 두 형태의 후처리제 모두가 고온다습 환경에서 무처리 강판에 비교하여 월등히 우수한 변색 억제 효과를 보였으며, 인산염처리 및 전착도장이 양호하게 얻어지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In the semiconductor and display component industries, the use of ceramic materials, which are high-strength materials, is increasing for ensuring durability and wear resistance. Among them, alumina materials are used increasingly. Alumina materials are extremely difficult to process because of their high strength; as such, research and development in the area of mineral material processing is being promoted actively to improve their processing. In this study, the processability of an electrodeposition tool is investigated using the electrodeposition method to smoothly process alumina materials. Furthermore, processing is conducted under various processing conditions, such as spindle speed, feed speed, and depth of cut. In addition, the processing characteristics of the workpiece are analyzed based on the tooling.
