The electrochemical behaviors of copper-1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol [Cu(II)-TAN] complex in acetonitrile (AN) solution have been investigated by the use of polarography, controlled potential coulometry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Cu(II)-TAN complex exhibit three reduction waves at -0.91 V, -1.34 V and -1.65 V vs. S.C.E. in acetonitrile solution containing 5.0 ${\times}\;10^{-3}$M tetraethylammonium perchlorate. Every reduction wave is diffusion controlled. The first reduction wave is considerably reversible and this process is attributed to the formation of anion radical. The second reduction process to the dianion is followed by a chemical reaction producing a complex of hydrazo complex. The third reduction process produce Cu(Hg) amalgam and amine compound.

Electrolytic reduction technology is essential for the purpose of adopting pyroprocessing into spent oxide fuel as an alternative option in a back-end fuel cycle. Spent fuel consists of various metal oxides, and each metal oxide releases an oxygen element depending on its chemical characteristic during the electrolytic reduction process. In the present work, an electrolytic reduction behavior was estimated for voloxidized spent fuel based on the assumption that each metal-oxygen system is independent and behaves as an ideal solid solution. The electrolytic reduction was considered as a combination of a Li recovery and chemical reactions between the metal oxides such as uranium oxide and the produced Li metal. The calculated result revealed that most of the metal oxides were reduced by the process. It was evaluated that a reduced fraction of lanthanide oxides increased with a decreasing $Li_2O$ concentration. However, most of the lanthanides were expected to be stable in their oxide forms. In addition, a semi-empirical model for describing $U_3O_8$ electrolytic reduction behavior was proposed by considering Li diffusion and a chemical reaction between $U_3O_8$ and Li. Experimental data was used to determine model parameters and, then, the model was applied to calculate the reduction yield with time and to estimate the required time for a 99.9% reduction.

The oxidation of pure Sn and high Pb-Sn alloys was investigated under different oxidizing conditions of temperature and humidity. Both the chemical nature and the amount of oxides were characterized using electrochemical reduction analysis by measuring the electrolytic reduction potential and total transferred electrical charges. For pure tin, SnO grew faster under humid condition than in dry air at $85^{\circ}C$. A very thin (<10 ${\AA}$) layer of SnO, was formed on the top surface under humid condition. The mixture of SnO and $SnO_2$ was found for oxidation at $150^{\circ}C$. XPS and AES were performed to support the result of oxide reduction.

Approximate rate and stoichiometry of the reaction of ten compounds which contain functional group such as nitrile, nitro, halogen and one of these functional group together with a carbonyl group by the two phase reduction were tested at room temperature. Nitrile, nitro and halogen were all inert under these condition. Therefore selective reduction of carbonyl group in the presence of these group were examined. Thus m-nitrobenzaldehyde, m-nitroacetophenone, p-bromoacetophenone and p-cyanobenzaldehyde were reduced to corresponding alcohols in excellent yields, 95∼100 %.

Electrochemical reduction of thionyl chloride has been carried out at glassy carbon and molybdenum electrodes, the surface of which is modified by binuclear tetradentate schiff base Co(II), Ni(II),Cu(II) and Fe(II) complexes. The catalyst molecules of transition metal(II) complexes were adsorbed on the electrode surface and reduced thionyl chloride resulting in a generation of oxidized catalyst molecules. There was an optimum concentration for each catalyst compound. The catalytic effects of SOCl$_2$ reduction were larger on glassy carbon electrodes compared to molybdenum electrodes and enhancements in reduction current of up to 120${\%}$ at the glassy carbon electrodes. The reduction currents of thionyl chloride were increased and the reduction potentials were shifted to the negative potential when scan rates became faster. The reduction of thionyl chloride was proceed to diffusion controlled reaction.

The electrochemical reduction behavior of Bilirubin (BR) in phosphate buffer (pH 7.8) solution was studied by DC polarography, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. In DC polarogram, two reduction waves of BR were found. The half wave potentials of two reduction waves were -1.32 and -1.51 volts vs. Ag/AaCl respectively. The current type of 1st reduction wave was diffusion-controlled and the 2$^{nd}$ reduction wave was diffusion current containing a little kinetic current. The electrochemical reduction process of BR at each reduction step was all irreversible. The prewave appeared at lower concentration than 3.4 ${\times}$ 10$^{-4}$M, this prewave was identified as adsorption prewave. And the number of electron transfered in reduction steps, n$_{app}$ was two for the 1st reduction step and one for the 2$^{nd}$ reduction step.

The electrochemical reduction of triphenylphosphine penylimide in nonaqueous media has been examined by polarography, cyclic voltammetry, controlled-potential coulometry and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The reduction of triphenylphosphine phenylimide proceeds by a one-electron transfer to form anion radical which undergoes both protonation and a second one-electron reduction followed by cleavage of the phosphorus-nitrogen double bond. Aniline is a major product. The cleavage of a phosphorus-phenyl bond was also observed after reduction of triphenylphosphine oxide which is one of the major products of the chemical reaction which follow the primary process.

The electrochemical behaviors of copper-1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol(Cu-PAN) complex in acetonitrile (AN) solution have been investigated by the use of cyclic voltammetry, DC-polarography, controlled potential coulometry and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Cu-PAN complex in acetonitrile exhibit three reduction waves at -1.27 V, -1.64 V and -2.08 V vs. Ag/AgNO$_3$(AN). The numbers of electron involved in each reduction step was calculated with controlled potential coulometry, and reduction product was identified with UV-Vis spectrum. As the result, we proposed the reduction mechanism of the Cu-PAN complex in acetonitrile.

본 연구에서는 갭을 갖는 전극을 제작하고, 전극사이의 간격이 좁아짐에 따른 분석물질의 전기화학적 신호증폭현상을 확인하였다. 광 리소그래피와 전자빔 리소그래피를 이용하여 기본 전극을 구성하고 이를 바탕으로 전극의 표면에 금속의 환원을 유도함으로써 환원시간에 따라 전극이 점점 좁아지게 하는 방법을 이용하여 다양한 간격의 갭 전극을 제작하였다. 이와같은 방법으로 제작된 전극을 전기화학 신호분석장치에 연결하고, $2{\mu}m$의 간격부터 약 50 nm 까지의 다양한 전극 간격을 가지는 갭 전극 각각에 대한 전기화학적 신호를 분석하였다. 전극에 Ferricyanide 를 노출시켜 전극의 간격이 좁을수록 FeCN63-의 산화 환원에 따른 패러데이 전류가 증폭하는 것을 확인하였으며, 분석물질의 검출 한계 농도 또한 낮아짐을 확인하였다. 이러한 실험결과는 일정전위기의 순환전압전류법, 주사전자현미경, 원자힘현미경을 이용하여 분석되었다.
