As a cathode material of lithium rechargeable batteries, charged Li[Co0.1Ni0.15Li0.2Mn0.55]O2 electrodes, which were aged thermally at 25 oC and 90 oC respectively, were characterized by means of charge/discharger, impedance spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The discharge capacity diminution of the electrodes aged at 25 oC and 90 oC for 1 week was 4% and 23%, respectively. The cell aged at 25 oC was recovered on cycling. However, the capacity loss after ageing at 90 oC was not recovered in a subsequent cycling test, which demonstrates that the reaction occurring during ageing at 90 oC is irreversible. A significant impedance increase of aged electrode at 90 oC is associated with irreversible capacity loss. The structural changes including phase transformation were not detected by XRD analysis, because it could be due to out of detection limit. After ageing, impedance was slightly decreased during subsequent cycling test. It could be explained the cyclic performance of aged sample is stable. The thermal stability was not deteriorated by ageing even at the high temperature of 90 oC.

Pt/C 촉매 (20, 40 wt% Pt/C)를 사용하여 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 MEA를 제조하고 각각의 촉매에서 최적의 나피온 이오노머 함량을 알아보았다. 나피온 함량에 따른 MEA의 전기화학적인 성능변화는 단위전지 성능평가, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry(CV)을 통해서 분석하였다. 나피온의 함량에 따라 전지의 활성화 분극, 옴 저항, 물질전달 저항 등의 변화가 나타났다. 이는 전극의 촉매층 내에서 발생되는 전기/이온 전도도 사이의 'trade-off'와 물질전달(물 배출과 반응가스 확산)에 의한 것이며, 대부분 활성화 분극과 물질전달 저항의 변화로 나타났다. 20 wt% Pt/C와 40 wt% Pt/C 촉매에서 최적의 나피온 함량은 각각 35 wt%와 20 wt%로 나타났다. 이는 Pt 중량비에 따른 Pt 입자간의 거리 및 촉매의 비표면적의 차이 때문에 나타난 결과이며 서로 다른 나피온 함량에서 최적의 삼상계면이 형성되는 것으로 판단된다.

In this work, the hydration process and cytotoxicity of lab-synthesized experimental Portland cements (EPCs) were investigated for dental applications. For this purpose, EPCs were prepared using laboratory-synthesized clinker constituents, tricalcium silicate (C₃S), dicalcium silicate (C₂S), and tricalcium aluminate (C₃A). C-A was prepared by the Pechini method, whereas C₃S and C₂S were synthesized by solid-state reactions. The phase compositions were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and the hydration process of the individual constituents and their combinations, with and without the addition of gypsum, was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Furthermore, four EPC compositions were prepared using the lab-synthesized C-A, C₃S, and C₂S, and their hydration processes were examined by EIS, and their cytotoxicity to HPC and HIPC cells were tested by performing an XTT assay. None of the EPCs exhibited any significant cytotoxicity for 7 days, and no significant difference was observed in the cell viabilities of ProRoot MTA and EPCs. The results indicated that all the EPCs are sufficiently biocompatible with human dental pulp cells and can be potential substitutes for commercial dental cements.

The molten carbonate fuel cell has conspicuous feature and high potential in being used as an energy converter of various fuel to electricity and heat. However, the MCFC which use strongly corrosive molten carbonate at $650^{\circ}C$ have many problem. Systematic investigation on corrosion behavior of Fe/20Cr/Ti alloys has been done in (62+38)mol% (Li+K)C03 melt at 923K by using steady state polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. And, The research and development for the solid oxide fuel cell have been promoted rapidly and extensively in recent years, because of their high efficiency and future potential. Therefore this paper describes the manufacturing method and characteristics of anode electrode for SOFC, by the way, Ni-YSZ materials are used as anode of SOFC widely. So in this experiments, we investigated the optimum content of Ni, by the impedance characteristics, overvoltage. As a result, the performance of Ni-YSZ anode(40vol%) was better excellent than the others.

본 연구에서는 겔식 VRLA (valve regulated lead acid번지의 충전상태(SoC) 판단을 위해 임피던스 기법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 임피던스는 VRLA전지 (2V/1.2Ah)의 다양한 충전상태에서 진폭 10mV로 100kHz에서${\sim}$10mHz까지 측정하였다. 측정된 임피던스 데이터로부터 등가회로를 유도하고, CNLS (Complex Non-linear Least Squares) 법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 양극 쪽의 전하전이 저항과 전기이중층 커패시턴스가 음극보다 높았다. 겔 저항은 충전상태가 감소함에 따라 증가하며 이는 VRLA 전지의 충전상태를 판단하는데 중요한 파라미터임을 확인하였다.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)를 이용하여 에폭시 수지 조성물이 코팅된 알루미늄 패드의 부식거동을 연구하였다. 에폭시 수지 조성물은 반도체 패키지 봉지용으로써 80 wt%의 충전재를 포함하고 있으며, $100^{\circ}C$의 끊는 가혹 조건에서 탈이온수 (deionized water)를 사용하여 에폭시 조성들에 침투시켰다. 흡습이 진행되면서 에폭시 조성물 및 알루미늄/에폭시 계면에서의 저항 감소와 커패시턴스 증가가 관찰되었으며 , 약 170 시간까지는 물분자와 유기물로부터 발생된 이온이 에폭시 조성물에 포화되고, 그 이후에는 계면에 침투하여 금속의 부식을 발생시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수분 흡습에 따른 에폭시 조성물/금속간의 접착강도 측정으로부터 계면에 물분자 및 이온이 포화됨에 따라 접착강도가 감소하는 것을 예상할 수 있었으며, 반도체 패키지용 에폭시 수지 조성물에 의한 알루미늄 전극의 부식을 방지하기 위해서는 충전재의 함량증가가 필수적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Specimens of SrZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$, SrZr0.95Y0.05O3-$\delta$, BaZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$ and BaZr0.95Y0.05O3-$\delta$ were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method and subsequent sintering at 150$0^{\circ}C$ to 1$600^{\circ}C$ The microstructures and electrical characteristics of the specimens were studied. Only BaZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$ showed dense microstructure and had typical impedance spectra at various temperature. Its electrical conductivity by impedance analysis was 2.7$\times$10-3$\Omega$-1.cm-1 at 90$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The BaZr0.95Ga0.05O3-$\delta$ exhibited lower grain rsistance in wet atmosphere than in dry atmosphere and the reduction of resistance is due to the proton conduction.

[ $50/50 vol\%$ ] LSM-YSZ의 양극은 콜로이드 증착법에 의해 YSZ 전해질상에 증착하였다. 양극 특성은 주사전자현미경과 임피던스 분석기에 의해 고찰하였다. LSM-YSZ양극의 제조 조건에 따른 영향을 관찰하였으며, 그 영향에 대한 개선책이 고체산화물 연료전지의 성능향상을 위해 제시되었다. 임피던스에 대한 온도, YSZ전해질로의 양극 접착에 대한 표면 오염, 사용하는 Pt 페이스트, 미세구조에 대한 곡표면에 가해진 연무질 분사기술과 셀과 셀의 변동성에 대한 영향들은 각각 $900^{\circ}C$ 측정, YSZ표면 연마, 일단의 Pt페이스트 사용, 평편한 YSZ판의 사용과 일관된 절차와 기술의 사용에 의해 해결되었다. 이때 재현성 있는 임피던스 스펙트럼들이 향상된 셀을 사용함으로써 얻어졌고, $900^{\circ}C$에서 (공기)LSM-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ(공기) 셀에 대해 측정된 전형적인 임피던스 스펙트럼들은 2개의 불완전한 호로 구성되었다. 또한 LSM-YSZ 양극의 임피던스 특성은 촉매층, 양극 조성, 인가 전류 등과 같은 실험 조건들에 의해서도 영향을 받았다.

We investigated the sintering and electric properties of ZnO-1.0 at% $TeO_2$ (ZT1) and 1.0 at% Mn-doped ZT1(ZT1M1) system. $TeO_2$ itself melts at $732^{\circ}C$ in air but forms the $ZnTeO_3$ or $Zn_2Te_3O_8$ phase with ZnO as increasing temperature and therefore retards the densification of ZnO to $1000^{\circ}C$. In ZT1M1 system, also, the densification of ZnO was retarded up to $1000^{\circ}C$ and then reached > 90% of theoretical density above $1100^{\circ}C$. It was found that a good varistor characteristics(nonlinear coefficient $a{\sim}60$) were developed in ZT1M1 system sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ due to Mn which known as improving the nonlinearity of ZnO varistors. The results of C-V characteristics such as barrier height (${\Phi}_b$), donor density ($N_D$), depletion layer (W), and interface state density ($N_t$) in ZT1M1 ceramics were $1.8{\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, 1.6 V, 93 nm, and $1.7{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$, respectively. Also we measured the resistance and capacitance of grain boundaries with temperature using impedance and electric modulus spectroscopy. It will be discussed about the stability and homogeneity of grain boundaries using distribution parameter ($\alpha$) simulated with the Z(T)"-logf plots.

The purpose of this study is to research and develop solid polymer electrolyte(SPE) for Li polymer battery. The temperature dependence of conductivity, impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical properties of PMMA/PVDF electrolytes as a function of a mixed ratio were reported for PMMA/PVDF based polymer electrolyte films, which were prepared by thermal gellification method of preweighed PMMA/PVDF, plasticizer and Li salt. The ion conductivity of PMMA/PVDF electrolytes was 10$\^$-3/S/cm, which may be applicable to a constituent of lithium secondary battery. 5PMMA20PVDFLiC1O$_4$PC$\sub$8/EC$\sub$8/ electrolyte remains stable up to 5V vs. Li/Li$\^$+/. Steady state current method and AC impedance were used for the determination of transference numbers in PMMA/PVDF electrolyte film. The transference number of 5PMMA20PVDFLiC1O$_4$PC$\sub$8/EC$\sub$8/ electrolyte is 0.55.
