Studies have been carried out on the fabrication of PPy/GC and PPy/Pt electrode modified with polypyrrole film and determination of Cr(VI) by using 3-electrode system with modified electrodes. Modified electrodes were able to easily fabricated by cyclic voltammetry scanned from +1.0V to -1.0V(vs. Ag/AgCl) at 50 mV/sec. Film thickness could be controlled at same condition by the number of cycling up to 26 times. Reduction behaviour of Cr(VI) at PPy/GC electrode could be seen at wide potential ranges from +0.6V to -0.5V(vs. Ag/AgCl), and maximum reduction peak potential of the ion was observed at -0.25V(vs.Ag/AgCl). Calibration graph at its potential was linear from 0.1 ppm to 80.O ppm. Slope factor and relative coefficient were 1.75 mA/ppm and 0.998, respectively. Reduction behaviour of Cr(VI) at PPy/Pt electrode was similar to PPy/GC electrode, Calibration graph was linear from l.0 ppm to 60.0 ppm. Slope factor and relative coefficient were 0.5mA/ppm and 0.923, respectively. But PPy/GC modified electrode had about 3 times higher sensitivity than PPy/Pt modified electrode. Reduction behaviour of Cu(II), As(IlI), Pb(II), and Cd(II) couldn't be seen at PPy/GC electrode,Its metals had not lnterfered with Cr (VI) determination.

AMD (Acid mine drainage) from disused mines is one or the most significant pollutant problems to make harmful effect to human health. We demonstrated the mechanism of resolution and adsorption reaction for arsenic, manganese and zink from the soil and mine tailings which were located in the vicinity of a disused mine in Kyoungnam area. The resolution experiments were carried with a column test f3r 45 days continuously. Metal chemical forms in water were changed with the condition of solution pH and ORP (oxidation-reduction potential). Metal chemical forms affected on the reaction of resolution and adsorption of metals in water environments. Even though the sampling was carried in very closed location, there was significant different results of pollution level and ORP changes in terms of column operations. Hence It was important to note the pH and ORP in AMD to evaluate a risk assessment and a soil management using monitoring metals. When we operate AMD management with the mechanism of resolution and adsorption it can be achieved better economic solution.

The electrochemical behavior of magnesium ions was examined by cyclic voltammetry in a molten $MgCl_2-CaCl_2$-NaCl salt. The reduction potential of magnesium ions was measured and those values were estimated with the variation of the concentration of $MgCl_2$ and the temperature of molten salts. The diffusion coefficient of the $Mg^{2+}$ ions has been determined at 660, 680, 700, 720 and $740^{\circ}C$. The values were $8.79{\times}10^{-6}$, $9.56{\times}10^{-6}$, $1.17{\times}10^{-5}$, $1.4{\times}10^{-5}$ and $1.77{\times}10^{-5}\;cm^2\;s^{-1}$. The activation energy for the diffusion processes of $Mg^{2+}$ ions was found to be $70.28\;kJ\;mol^{-1}$ by using the Arrhenius equation.

The electrochemical reduction of N-tert-butylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (TBBS; vulcanization accelerator) was investigated by direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The electrode reduction of TBBS proceeded E-C-E-C reaction mechanism by four electrons transfer at irreversible one wave (-2.31 volts vs. Ag/0.1M AgN$O_3$ in AN). As the results of controlled potential electrolysis, mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), benzothiazole disulfide (MBT dimer) and extricated sulfur were products which followed by cleavage of the sulfenamide (-S-N=) bond. Upon the basis of products analysis and polarogram interpretation with pH variable, electrochemical reaction mechanism was suggested.

본 연구에서는 바이오 센서 응용을 위해 그래핀을 전극으로 제작하여 그래핀 표면 결함준위에 따른 센서의 민감도를 전기화학 실험을 통해 관찰하였다. 그래핀은 니켈/구리촉매를 이용한 저 진공 화학 기상 증착 장비(Low-Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition; LP-CVD)와 Photo-lithography로 제작한 것과 탄소 산화물을 환원시켜 만든 환원-그래핀, 두 가지를 사용하였다. 전기화학 실험에서 그래핀 전극 및 Silver/Silver chloride (Ag/AgCl), Fluorine doped Tin Oxide (FTO)은 작업 전극 및 기준 전극, 상대 전극으로 각각 사용하였고, 반응용액은 potassium hexacyanoferrate (III)를 농도를 다르게 하여 사용하였다. 그래핀의 표면 상태, 층수, 결함 정도 등 구조적인 특성은 원자력현미경(Atomic Force Microscopy; AFM), 주사 전자 현미경(Secondary Electron Microscopy; SEM)과 Raman spectroscopy를 각각 이용하여 확인하였고, 그래핀의 결함준위에 따른 반응면적 및 센서 감도 의존성을 전류모드-원자력현미경(Current-Atomic Force Microscopy; I-AFM)과 전기화학 임피던스 분광법(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy; EIS)를 통해 그래핀 전극의 성능을 분석하고, 그래핀 결함 준위에 따른 센서 감도 의존성은 순환전위 분광법 (Cyclic Voltammetry; CV)를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 또한 농도가 다른 반응용액은 센서의 민감도를 관찰하는데 사용하였다. 결과적으로 LP-CVD로 성장한 그래핀과 환원-그래핀의 결함준위에 따른 센서의 성능을 비교 분석한 결과와 반응용액 농도에 따른 센서의 민감도 결과는 그래핀 바이오센서에 대한 응용 및 상용화를 앞당기는데 기여할 것으로 예상한다.

Diffusion Coefficient$(D_0)$ and electrode reaction rate Constant$(K_0)$ of Co$(dimethyl bipyridine)_3(ClO_4)_2$ were determined by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. It was also investigated that the effects of solvent, concentration, and scan rate, etc. on the diffusion coefficient and the temperature effect on the rate constant.

도금은 크게 전해 도금과 무전해 도금으로 나눌 수 있다. 전기적 에너지를 사용하여 이온 상태의 금속을 환원시켜 석출함으로써 도금을 진행하는 전해 도금과는 달리 무전해 도금은 도금액 내의 환원제에 의해 금속 이온을 환원시켜 도금을 진행한다. 무전해 도금법은 전해 도금에 비해 전류 인가 장비가 필요하지 않아 도금 공정이 간단하고, 피도금체에 따른 인가 전류, 전압, 금속의 환원 전위 등을 계산하지 않아도 되기 때문에 전문적인 지식이 없어도 도금을 할 수 있다. 하지만 무전해 도금은 도금이 진행 될수록 도금액 내 금속 이온, 환원제의 농도 등이 수시로 변화하기 때문에 도금액의 조성을 파악하여 원하는 두께의 도금층을 형성하는 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 무전해 도금액 내 환원제, 도금액 온도, 도금 시간을 변경하여 Ni 무전해 도금을 형성 하였고 그 특성을 평가하였다. 도금은 각각 플라스틱, RF module 유리 등 다양한 기판에 진행 하였으며, 도금 후 밀착성, 도금 두께 및 microstructure를 분석하였다. 도금 후 밀착성을 분석하기 위해 열처리 후 박리정도를 테스트를 하였고, 도금 두께 및 microstructure를 분석하기 위해 field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 두께 $3{\sim}5{\mu}m$ 급의 균일한 도금층이 형성된 것을 확인하였으며, $260^{\circ}C$에서 3회 열처리 후 박리성 평가 결과, 결함 없는 양호한 표면을 나타내었다.

The Polarographic behavior of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthol (TAN) in acetonitrile solution was studied. From the DC polarograms of TAN in acetonitrile solution, the type of reduction current and the effect of proton donor such as water have been investigated. In order to explain the reduction mechanism, the number of the electrons for each reduction step was measured by controlled potential coulometric technique and the electrolysis products were identified by UV-Vis spectroscopy and IR spectroscopy. The results were shown that the reduction of TAN in acetonitrile solution occurred with four-one electron steps. In addition, each reduction step was considerably reversible and the reduction current was diffusion controlled.

A porous $TiO_2$ pellet was electrochemically converted to the metallic titanium by using a $CaCl_2$ molten salt system at $850^{\circ}C$. Ni-$TiO_2$ and graphite electrodes were used as cathode and anode, respectively. The electrochemical behaviour of $TiO_2$ pellet was determined by a constant voltage control electrolysis. Various reaction intermediates such as $CaTiO_3$, $Ti_2O$ and $Ti_6O$ were observed by XRD analysis during electrolysis of the pellet. Once $TiO_2$ pellet was converted to a porous metallic structure, the porous structure disappeared by sintering and shrinking with increasing the reaction time at high temperature.
