Corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in 2M HCl by some benzohydrazide derivatives (I-III) was studied using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques at $30^{\circ}C$. Polarization studies showed that all the investigated compounds are of mixed type inhibitors. Temperature studies revealed a decrease in efficiency with rise in temperature and corrosion activation energies increased in the presence of the hydrazide derivatives, probably implying that physical adsorption of cationic species may be responsible for the observed inhibition behavior. Electrochemical impedance studies showed that the presence of benzohydrazide derivatives decreases the double layer capacitance and increases the charge transfer resistance. The adsorption of these compounds on carbon steel surface was found to obey Temkin's adsorption isotherm. Synergistic effects increased the inhibition efficiency in the presence of halide additives namely KI and KBr. An inhibition mechanism was proposed in terms of strongly adsorption of inhibitor molecules on carbon steel surface.

GNP(Glycine Nitrate Process)을 이용하여$(La_{0.75}Sr_{0.25})_{1-x}FeO_{3-\delta}$를 합성하고, perovskite의 A-site deficiency에 따른 특성을 분석하기 위해 x=0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08로 바꾸어 합성하였다. SEM과 XRD분석을 통하여 균질하고 결정성이 높은 분말이 합성된것을 확인하였으며, 4단자법과 AC impedance spectroscopy를 통하여 전도도는 x = 0.02가 $750^{\circ}C$ $155{\Omega}cm^2$로 가장 우수하였으며, AC impedance결과 역시 x = 0.02가 가장 낮은 분극저항과 활성화 에너지를 가지고 있었다. 이 결과 Perovskite의 A-site deficiency를 가함에 따라 산소 결핍 및 구조의 변화가 생겼으며 이로 인해 전도도와 분극 저항, 활성화 에너지에 영향을 미친 것을 알 수 있었다.

Direct Carbon Fuel Cell(DCFC) is one of new power generation that the chemical energy of solid carbon can be converted into electrical energy directly. At the high temperature, the electrochemical reaction of the carbon takes place and the carbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide as followed overall reaction ($C+O_2{\rightarrow}CO_2$). However, in case of using the raw coals as a fuel of DCFC, the volatile matter containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produces at operating temperature. In this study, the electrochemical reaction of Adaro coal was compared with Graphite. This work focused on the electrochemical reaction of two kinds of solid carbon by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS). The EIS results were estimated by equivalent circuit analysis. The constant phase element(CPE) was applied in Randle circuit to explain an electrode and fuel interface. The correlation between the fuel characteristic and electrochemical results was discussed by elements of equivalent circuit of each fuel.

$SrZr_{1-x}Y_xO_{3-\delta}$(x=0.05, 0.10)-금속전극 계에서 임피던스법과 d.c.법으로 전기전도도를 측정함으로써 고체전해질 및 전극전도도를 고찰하였다. 고체전해질과 anode를 통한 전기전도도는 $P_W^{1/2}$(PW는 수증기분압)에 의존하여 증가함을 보였다. Cathode 전도도는 $P_{O2}^{1/4}$에 비례함을 보였으며, 수증기분압 증가와 함께 감소하여 고체전해질내의 전자 결함의 농도와 함께 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수소분위기에서는 수증기의 첨가가 anode와 cathode 두 방향의 전극반응 속도 모두를 촉진하였다. 도펀트 첨가량이 5%에서 10%로 증가될 때 anode와 고체전해질의 전기전도도가 3배 이상 크게 증가하여 유효 산소이온공공의 농도가 급격히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. Pt와 Ag전극을 통한 cathode 전도도의 활성화에너지가 거의 같은 값을 나타냈으며 이는 cathode반응의 속도가 금속전극이 아니라 고체전해질표면에서 일어나는 반응에 의하여 결정되는 것으로 해석되었다.

We demonstrated the thin film deposition of sodium phosphorous oxynitride (NaPON) via RF magnetron sputtering of $Na_3PO_4$, as a solid-state Na-ion conductor similar to lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LiPON), which is a commonly used solid electrolyte. The deposited NaPON thin film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, to investigate the feasibility of the solid-state electrolyte in several different cell configurations. The key properties of a solidstate electrolyte, i.e., ionic conductivity and activation energy, were estimated from the complex non-linear least square fitting of the measured impedance spectra at various temperatures in the range of $27-90^{\circ}C$. The ionic conductivity of the NaPON film was measured to be $8.73{\times}10^{-6}S\;cm^{-1}$ at $27^{\circ}C$, which was comparable to that of the LiPON film. The activation energy was estimated to be 0.164 eV, which was lower than that of the LiPON film (0.672 eV). The obtained values encourage the use of a NaPON thin film in the future as a reasonable solid-state electrolyte.

Fuel cell is a modular, high efficient and environmentally energy conversion device, it has become a promising option to replace the conventional fossil fuel based electric power plants. The high temperature fuel cell has conspicuous feature and high potential in being used as an energy converter of various fuel to electricity and heat. Corrosions in molten electrolytes and the electric conductivity across the oxide scale have crucial characteristics. When molten salts are involved, high temperature corrosions become severe. In this sense, corrosions of alloys with molten carbonates have the most severe material problems. Systematic investigation on corrosion behavior of Fe/21Cr/Ti or Al alloy has been done in (62+38)mol% (Li+K)$CO_3$ melt at $650^{\circ}C$ using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. It was found that the corrosion current of these Fe-based alloys decreased with increasing Al or Ti. And Al addition improved the corrosion resistance of this type of specimen and more improvement of corrosion resistance was observed at the specimen added with Al.

본 연구에서는 염료감응 태양전지의 상대전극으로써 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 사용하여 전기화학적 특성에 미치는 열처리 효과에 대해 연구하였다. 다중벽 탄소나노튜브는 실리콘 기판위에 철 촉매를 사용하여 열화학 기상증착법으로 합성하였다. 직경이 다른 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 각각 성장하여 두 개의 샘플을 준비하였고 질소 분위기의 RTA(rapid thermal annealing) system에서 $900^{\circ}C$ 온도로 1분간 열처리 하였다. 다중벽 탄소나노튜브의 구조적, 전기적, 전기화학적 특성은 FE-SEM, Raman spectroscopy, 2-point probe station, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 라만 스펙트럼 분석에서 열처리 한 다중벽 탄소나노튜브의 I(D)/I(G) ratio는 상당히 감소한 것을 확인하였으며, 다중벽 탄소나 노튜브 표면과 전해질과의 산화 환원 반응 특성에서는 열처리 전보다 열처리 후의 전해질과의 산화 환원 반응 특성이 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. 표면에서의 반응 저항 또한 열처리 후의 다중벽 탄소나노튜브가 더 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 그 결과, 열처리 후의 다중벽 탄소나노튜브를 상대전극으로 사용하였을 때의 전기화학적 특성이 더 좋은 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the corrosion behaviors of dental implant alloy after microsized surface modification in electrolytes containing Mn ion. Materials and Methods: $Mn-TiO_2$ coatings were prepared on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy for dental implants using a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method carried out in electrolytes containing different concentrations of Mn, namely, 0%, 5%, and 20%. Potentiodynamic method was employed to examine the corrosion behaviors, and the alternatingcurrent (AC) impedance behaviors were examined in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5^{\circ}C{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ using a potentiostat and an electrochemical impedance spectroscope. The potentiodynamic test was performed with a scanning rate of $1.667mV\;s^{-1}$ from -1,500 to 2,000 mV. A frequency range of $10^{-1}$ to $10^5Hz$ was used for the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The amplitude of the AC signal was 10 mV, and 5 points per decade were used. The morphology and structure of the samples were examined using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and thin-film X-ray diffraction. The elemental analysis was performed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Result: The PEO-treated surface exhibited an irregular pore shape, and the pore size and number of the pores increased with an increase in the Mn concentration. For the PEO-treated surface, a higher corrosion current density ($I_{corr}$) and a lower corrosion potential ($E_{corr}$) was obtained as compared to that of the bulk surface. However, the current density in the passive regions ($I_{pass}$) was found to be more stable for the PEO-treated surface than that of the bulk surface. As the Mn concentration increased, the capacitance values of the outer porous layer and the barrier layer decreased, and the polarization resistance of the barrier layers increased. In the case of the Mn/Ca-P coatings, the corroded surface was found to be covered with corrosion products. Conclusion: It is confirmed that corrosion resistance and polarization resistance of PEO-treated alloy increased as Mn content increased, and PEO-treated surface showed lower current density in the passive region.
