[ $SiO_2$ ] effect on the electrochemical properties of polymeric gel electrolytes(PGEs) reinforced with glass fiber cloth(GFC) was investigated . PGEs were composed of polyacrylronitrile(PAN), poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VdF-co-HFP)), $LiClO_4$ and three kind of plasticizer(ethylene carbonate, dietyl carbonate, propylene carbonate). $SiO_2$ was added to PGEs in the weight fraction of 10, 20, $30\%$ respectively. PGEs containing $SiO_2$ showed conductivity of over $10^{-3}S/cm\;at\;23^{\circ}C$ and electrochemical stability window to 4.8V. In the impedance spectra of the cells, which were constructed by lithium metals as electrodes, interfacial resistance increased due to growth of passivation layer during storage time and remarkable difference was not observed with content of $SiO_2$. In the impedance spectra of the lithium ion polymer batteries consisted of $LiClO_2$ and mesophase pitch-based carbon fiber(MCF), ohmic cell resistance of $SiO_2-free$ PGE was changed continuously with number of cycle, but those of $SiO_2-dispersed$ PGEs were not. Discharge capacity of the PGE containing $20wt\%\;SiO_2$ showed 132 mAh/g at 0.2C rate and $85\%$ of discharge capacity was retained at 2C rate.

최근 퍼스널 모빌리티 분야에 적용되는 배터리는 대부분 리튬계열 배터리가 차지하고 있다. 각광받는 이유로는 작은 부피, 무게에 비해 큰 용량을 가지는 장점이 있고 셀당 전압의 경우에도 기존 니켈수소 및 카드뮴 등과 같은 수계전해액의 전지에 비해 3배 정도 높다는 장점을 가진다. 이러한 리튬이온배터리를 제품에 적용하기 위해서는 직병렬 구조의 팩 단위로 구성하여야 하며, 단일 셀이 아닌 다수의 셀 조합이기 때문에 충방전을 진행하는 과정에서 직렬구성 셀의 특성이 달리지게 되어 최종적으로는 전압의 차로 검출되게 된다. 이러한 전압의 차는 배터리의 용량을 저감시키고 특정 셀에 스트레스를 가중시켜 셀의 수명을 단축시키는 요인으로 작용한다.

This research aimed to fabricate a micro structure using micro electrochemical machining (${\mu}$-ECM). with a view to that the theory of ${\mu}$-ECM is established accurately in a different way of conventional electrochemical machining. In details, if the impedance is existed in the system, it is difficult to analyze the micro electrochemical reaction efficiently in polarization curve using a potentiodynamic test. Hence, this research investigates the relationships between impedance and electric current measuring with a potentiostatic test applying to a pair or electrode as a constant potential. And this paper examines the influence of temperature of electrolyte on polarization curve for the quantitative analysis of electrochemical reactions.

This study is experimentally investigated brown gas generative properties with the changes of cell areas, a electrolyte concentration and ampere current for the developments of small brown gas generation equipments usable in diesel cars. Electrolysis reactors have been manufactured as SMT30, SMT50, SMT50-1, SMT70, SMT90, respectively on various surface areas and different positions anode and cathode. Thus, the brown gas generative properties on reactors tended to increase as surface area increase, and show differences in different electrode positions. However, the effect on electrolyte concentration had increased with a decreasing electrolyte concentration of NAOH 3~1‰, and the brown gas generative properties on ampere of SMT30, SMT50, SMT50-1, SMT70, SMT90 have shown to be $0.74{\ell}/10min$, $1.0{\ell}/10min$, $1.10,{\ell}/10min$, $0.97{\ell}/10min$, $1.13{\ell}/10min$.

기본적으로 많은 인자들에 의해 영향을 받는 배터리 시스템은 일반적으로 사용 용도에 따라 단위 배터리 셀을 직렬 또는 병렬로 연결하여 하나의 배터리 모듈을 형성하고 있다. 다수개의 단위 배터리 셀을 연결하여 하나의 배터리 모듈로 사용하는 경우, 개별 셀의 활물질 및 전해액의 미소 변동, 충방전 사이클 차이, 온도의 영향에 따라 배터리 특성이 다르게 나타난다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 충전 및 방전이 진행됨에 따라 셀간의 전압 불균형 현상이 발생하고 이로 인해 배터리 수명은 급격하게 감소하여 배터리 교체와 같은 경제적 손실을 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 배터리의 성능과 안전성을 확보하기 위해 배터리 밸런싱에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 기존의 수동적 밸런싱의 단점을 보완한 능동적 밸런싱을 사용하였고 제안한 회로의 기능 및 성능의 검증을 위해 배터리 관리 장치 보드를 설계 및 제작하여 시험한 결과 개선된 기능이 원활히 수행됨을 확인하였다.

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.

최근 경재적인 한계를 드러내고 있는 실리콘 태양전지의 대안으로 주목받고 있는 염료감응형 태양전지는 식물의 광합성 원리에 기초하여 빛이 입사하면 염료 분자가 포톤을 흡수해 여기하면서 전자를 방출함으로써 기전력을 발생시키는 원리로 동작한다. 염료에서 발생된 전자는 $TiO_2$의 conduction band로 주입되어 확산을 통해 TCO 기판으로 이동한다. 이때 다공성 나노구조의 $TiO_2$ 표면과 전해질의 접촉이 발생하게 되고 이로 인해 $TiO_2$ conduction band의 전자와 전해질의 $I_3{^-}$ 간의 재결합이 발생하게 되는데 이것은 DSC의 기능을 저하시키는 요인 중의 하나이다. 이러한 문제점은 $Al_2O_3$, ZnO, MgO, $BaTiO_2$ 등의 표면처리에 의한 core-shell 나노구조를 형성함으로써 해결할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 aluminum isopropoxidee와 magnesium chloride 혼합 용액을 사용하여 core-shell 나노구조를 형성하여 셀을 제작하고, 완성된 셀의 출력특성과 내부 임피던스의 변화를 측정, 분석함으로써 단일 용액을 사용하였을 때에 비해 효과적인 재결합 감소와 광전압의 상승효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

There is great interest in the applicability of generated hydrogen peroxide to a variety of industrial processes, usually involving oxidation of organics. Hydrogen peroxide is now employed for the bleaching as well as mechanical and chemical treatment in the pulp and paper industries. It addition, it is considered as an agent to displace the traditional alkaline treatments with chlorine-based chemicals. This paper reports a comparative study of $H_2O_2$ electogeneration on gas-diffusion electrode in divided cell with several $Nafion^{(R)}$ proton-exchange membranes, Russian cation-exchange membrane MK-40 and SPEEK membrane. The influence of different PEMs on electro-chemical cell voltage, current efficiency and energy consumption of hydrogen peroxide generation has been studied.

In order to build a general model of a high-throughput uranium electrorefining process according to the electrode configuration, numerical analysis was conducted using the COMSOL Multiphysics V5.3 electrodeposition module with Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) interfaces. The generated model was validated by comparing a current density-potential curve according to the distance between the anode and cathode and the electrode array, using a lab-scale (1kg U/day) multi-electrode electrorefiner made by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The operating temperature was $500^{\circ}C$ and LiCl-KCl eutectic with 3.5wt% $UCl_3$ was used for molten salt. The efficiency of the uranium electrorefining apparatus was improved by lowering the cell potential as the distance between the electrodes decreased and the anode/cathode area ratio increased. This approach will be useful for constructing database for safety design of high throughput spent nuclear fuel electrorefiners.
