The effect of passive film on corrosion of metals and alloys in a static corrosive environment has been studied by many researchers and is well known, however few studies have been conducted on the electrochemical measurement of metals and alloys during cavitation corrosion conditions, and there are no test standards for electrochemical measurements 'During cavitation' conditions. This study used commercially additive manufactured(AM) pure titanium in tests of anodic polarization, corrosion potential measurements, AC impedance measurements, and repassivation. Tests were performed in 3.5% NaCl solution under three conditions, 'No cavitation', 'After cavitation', and 'During cavitation' condition. When cavitation corrosion occurred, the passive current density was greatly increased, the corrosion potential largely lowered, and the passive film revealed a small polarization resistance. The current fluctuation by the passivation and repassivation phenomena was measured first, and this behavior was repeatedly generated at a very high speed. The electrochemical corrosion mechanism that occurred during cavitation corrosion was based on result of the electrochemical properties 'No cavitation', 'After cavitation', and 'During cavitation' conditions.

Surface modification techniques are known to improve SCC by adding large compressive residual stresses to metal surfaces. This surface modification technology is attracting attention because it is an economical and practical technology compared to the maintenance method of existing nuclear power plants. Surface modification techniques include laser, water jet and ultrasonic peening, pinning and ultrasonic Nano-crystal surface modification (UNSM). The focus of this study was on the effect of ultrasonic amplitude in UNSM treatment on the corrosion properties of Alloy 600. A microstructure analysis was conducted using an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD). A cyclic polarization test and AC-impedance measurement were both used to analyze the corrosion properties. UNSM treatment influences the corrosion resistance of Alloy 600 depending on its amplitude. Below the critical amplitude value, the pitting corrosion properties are improved by grain refinement and compressive residual stress, but above the critical amplitude value, crevices are formed by the formation of overlapped waves. These crevices act as corrosion initiators, reducing pitting corrosion resistance.

Many ancient and historical artifacts were made by copper and its alloys. In the case of outdoor exposure artifacts, the surface could be suffered from corrosion and tarnish by the reaction with its environment. In order to preserve the artifacts, surface treatment would be needed and BTA coating has been usually applied to tin-bronze. This paper dealt with the evaluation of the properties of BTA coated film using a linear polarization method and AC impedance measurement. On the base of corrosion rate and film resistance for the specimen formed by coating process, optimum coating conditions are as follows; 3 cycles brushing or 3 cycles spraying coatings for natural dried process and 1 cycle brushing coating or 5 cycles spraying coating for hot-air dried process.

The mobile device industry demands much higher levels of integration and lower costs coupled with a growing awareness of the complete system's configuration. A subsystem module package is similar to a board-level circuit that integrates a system function in a package beyond a System-in-Package (SiP) design. It is an advanced IC packaging solution to enhance the PDN and achieve a smaller form factor. Unlike a system-level design with a decoupling capacitor, a subsystem module package system needs to redefine the role of the capacitor and its configuration for PDN performance. Specifically, the design of package's form factor should include careful consideration of optimal PDN performance and the number of components, which need to define the decoupling capacitor's value and the placement strategy for a low impedance profile with associated cost benefits. This paper will focus on both the static case that addresses the voltage (IR) drop and AC analysis in the frequency domain with three specific topics. First, it will highlight the role of simulation in the subsystem module design for the PDN. Second, it will compare the performance of double-sided component placement (DSCP) motherboards with the subsystem module package and then prove the advantage of the subsystem module package. Finally, it will introduce three-terminal decoupling capacitor (decap) configurations of capacitor size, count and value for the subsystem module package to determine the optimum performance and package density based on the cost-effective model.

Owing to the rising concern of global warming, lithium-ion batteries have gained immense attention over the past few years for the development of highly efficient electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems. In this study, alpha-phase VOPO₄·2H₂O with nanosheet morphology was prepared via a facile hydrothermal method for application in high-performance lithium-ion batteries. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses indicated that the obtained sample had an alpha-2 (αII) phase, and the nanosheet morphology of the sample was confirmed using SEM. The lithium-ion battery with VOPO₄·2H₂O as the anode exhibited excellent long-term cycle life and a high capacity of 256.7 mAh g^-1 at room temperature. Prelithiation effectively improved the specific capacity of pristine VOPO₄·2H₂O. The underlying electrochemical mechanisms were investigated by carrying out AC impedance, rate capability, and other instrumental analyses.

A series of novel PBI/SrTiO₃ nanocomposite membranes composed of polybenzimidazole (PBI) and strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) with a perovskite structure were fabricated with various concentrations of SrTiO₃ through a solution casting method. Various characterization techniques such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetric analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and AC impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the chemical structure, thermal, phosphate absorption and morphological properties, and proton conductivity of the fabricated nanocomposite membranes. The optimized PBI/SrTiO₃-8 polymer nanocomposite membrane containing 8wt% of SrTiO₃ showed a higher proton conductivity of 7.95 × 10^-2 S/cm at 160℃ compared to other nanocomposite membranes. The PBI/SrTiO₃-8 composite membrane also showed higher thermal stability compared to pristine PBI. In addition, the roughness change of the polymer composite membrane was also investigated by AFM. Based on these results, nanocomposite membranes based on perovskite structures are expected to be considered as potential candidates for high-temperature PEM fuel cell applications.

HTS transformers which have been developed until now had only fundamental structures. Among the auxiliary functions of conventional transformers, voltage regulating is the most important one. For the voltage regulation, conventional transformers are equipped with on load tap changers (OLTCS). In this paper, we describe the possibility of the HTS transformer with OLTC. For the case study, we designed a single phase 33 MVA HTS transformer with OLTC. It is one of three individual HTS transformers which composes a 3 phase, 100 MVA transformer. It is expected to substitute for a 3 phase, 60 MVA conventional transformer in Korea. The parameters of an HTS transformer are varied due to the gap length between primary and secondary windings. The length was decided for the transformer to have the impedance of 12 %. Its size was limited to the one of the conventional transformer. The characteristics of the HTS transformer were analyzed in both case of having OLTC and not.

50/50 vol% LSM-YSZ의 복합공기극(LSM=$\textrm{La}_{1-x}\textrm{Sr}_{x}\textrm{MnO}_{3}$(0$\leq$x$\leq$0.5))이 콜로이드 증착법에 의해 준비으며 주사전자현미경과 임피던스 분석기에 의해 연구되어졌다. 재현성있는 임피던스 스펙트럼들이 LSM-YSZ/YSZ/LSM-YSZ로 구성된 향상된 셀을 사용함으로써 얻어졌다. 이러한 셀들의 임피던스 스펙트럼들은 작동온도에 강하게 영향을 받았으며, 가장 안정된 조건은 $900^{\circ}C$에서 도달되어졌다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 공기//공기 셀에 대해 측정된 전형적인 임피던스 스펙트럼들은 2개의 불완전한 호(depressed arc)로 구성되었다. LSM전극에 대한 YSZ의 첨가는 LSM-YSZ 공기극의 저항 감소를 가져왔으며, 전해질 표면의 불순물의 영향을 제거하기 위한 연마는 공기극 저항을 더욱 감소시켰다. 또한 촉매층(Ni 혹은 Sr)을 가진 LSM-YSZ 전극은 촉매층이 없는 경우에 비해 공기극 저항의 감소를 가져왔다. LSM-YSZ 공기극 저항은 전극조성, 전해질의 형태, 인가 전류에 의해 영향을 받았다.

고체산화물 연료전지의 작동온도를 낮추고 셀의 출력 밀도를 향상시키기 위해 연료극 지지체식 셀을 제조하고 공기극의 구조를 개선시켜 그 특성을 조사 분석하였다. 셀 제조는 습식법에 의해 이루어졌으며, 제조된 연료극 지지체상에 전해질을 코팅하고 최종적으로 공기극을 코팅하였다. 제조된 셀은 $8mol\%\;V_2O_3$로 안정화된 $ZrO_2(YSZ)$ 전해질 층 및 Ni/YSZ 연료극 지지체로 이루어졌으며, 공기극은 $(La_{0.85}Sr_{0.15})_{0.9}MnO_{3-x}(LSM),\;LSM/YSZ(LY)$ 복합체, $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_3{LSCF)$를 두층 또는 3층으로 두께를 변화시키면서 코팅하였다 임피던스로 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였으며, $3\%$수분을 함유한 수소와 공기로 $800^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 단전지의 성능을 평가하였다 작동온도 $800^{\circ}C$에서, $LY\;9{\mu}m/LSM\;9{\mu}m/LSCF\;17{\mu}m$의 다층이 코팅된 전지가 $590mW/cm^2$로 가장 좋은 성능을 나타냈으며, $0.244{\Omega}cm^2$로 가장 작은 분극저항을 가졌다. 측정된 임피던스 결과, 공기극의 분극저항이 3층 코팅된 셀의 경우 가장 작게 나타났음을 확인하였으며, 이것은 LY복합전극에 의한 전극 계면 저항 감소뿐 만 아니라 LSCF에 의한 공기극의 산소환원 반응의 전하이동 저항이 감소하였기 때문인 것으로 해석된다.

본 연구에서는 전극전위 분석법을 사용하여 중성운반체로 dibenzo-18-crown-6(D18Cr6)와 valinomycin(Val)을 이용하여 $K^+$ 이온선택성 PVC막 전극의 막과 용액계면에서의 전극특성을 검토하였다. PVC막에서 감응물질(운반체)에 기본전해질의 혼입 (doping)여부, 감응물질의 종류와 함량, 가소제, 막두께 및 이온의 활동도변화에 따른 전극의 기울기, 선형응답범위 한계측정농도 및 방해이온에 따른 선택계수 등 전극특성을 검토하였다. 중성운반체로 D18Cr6, Val을 $K^+$ 이온으로 착체형성하여 사용하였고, 가소제로 dibutylphthalate(DBP), dioctyl sebacate(DOS) 및 dibutyl sebacate(DBS)를, 혼입제인 기본전해질로 potassium tetraphenylborate (KTPB) 및 용매로 THF를 지지체로 PVC를 이용하여 막을 제조하였다. 운반체의 최적 함량은 D18Cr6와 Val의 경우 3.23 wt %이었고, 가소제는 DBP가 가장 적절한 가소제이었다. 막두께에 대한 영향은 최적 막두께 이상에서는 막두께가 얇아질수록 전극특성이 좋아졌으나, 막두께가 이 이하로 얇아지면 운반체의 용출, 막의 강도 등이 작용하여 전극특성이 나빠짐을 알 수 있었다. D18Cr6의 경우 $K^+$ 이온에 대한 혼합용액법에 의한 선택계수 서열은 다음과 같았다: $NH_4{^+}>Ca^{2+}>Mg^{2+}>Na^+$.
