The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of arc current and contact velocity on the erosion of silver-based contact materials to be used in low voltage circuit breakers. The opening velocity during breaking, which is constant, ranges between 2m/s to 6m/s in the 415V $25kA_{rms}$. Contact erosion is evaluated by measuring the mass change of the cathode and anode. The results show that the increase in opening velocity from 2m/s to 6m/s leads to a decrease in the contact erosion. It is shown that the material transfer from one electrode to another depends on the transfer charge and the opening velocity of the contacts. The contact pairs of AgWC/AgCdO are superior to $AgWC/AgSnO_2In_2O_3$ or AgWC/AgC contact pairs in the contact erosion.

OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) 디스플레이에서는 반사율이 가장 높은 silver (Ag)가 쓰이고 있지만, 소자에서 요구되는 일함수의 불일치 때문에 전극과 유기물간에 에너지 장벽이 발생하여 발광효율을 낮추는 요인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Ag 전극의 work function을 조절하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. Ag를 rf magnetron sputter를 이용해 glass위에 증착한 후 furnace에서 300$^{\circ}C$, 30분간 공기중에서 열처리 하였고. 또 다른 샘플은 산소분위기에서 표면에 상압플라즈마로 처리 시간(30, 60, 90, 120 sec)을 각기 다르게 하여 샘플을 제조하였다. Ag전극은 Nanoindentation을 통해 국부 영역에 대한 물리적 특성의 변화를 측정하였고 Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM)을 이용해 샘플의 포텐셜을 측정했다. 그 결과 열처리한 샘플은 포텐셜값은 가장 커졌지만 균일도가 낮아졌다. 30 sec, 120 sec 플라즈마 처리한 샘플은 탄성계수, 경도값, 및 Weibull modulus를 극히 낮게 만들었지만 60s, 90s 플라즈마 처리는 샘플의 경도값 균일도를 증가시켰다.

The relationship between the diffusivity and electrochemical characteristics of lithium secondary battery with the modified Si anode material prepared in HF/$AgNO_3$ solution was investigated. The crystallographic structure and images of the modified porous Si and modified Si/Cu was examined using the X-ray diffraction, BET and SEM. To examine the effect of metal composite and pore size distribution according to chemical etching on the electrochemical characterization, the electrodes for half cells were prepared with the modified Si, modified Si/Cu, and modified Si/Cu annealed with $600^{\circ}C$. Our results showed that the chemical diffusivity of lithium ions was related to structure and resistance of Si/Cu composite anode material. The lithium diffusivity in modified silicon compound calculated from the CV was at the range of $1{\times}10^{-12}$ to $9{\times}10^{-16}cm^2/s$. The effects of modified silicon structure and resistance on the cycling efficiency were significant.

In this study, interfacial characteristics between SOFC and Ag paste as current collector was estimated in the high temperature environment. The Ag paste was used to connect the unit cell of SOFC strongly with interconnector and provide the electrical conductivity between them. To confirm electrical conductivity, Ag paste was treated in the furnace at $800^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. The sheet resistance of Ag paste was measured to compare the resistance values before and after the heat treatment. Also, the four-point bending test was performed to measure the interfacial adhesion. The unit cell of SOFC and $SiO_2$ wafer were diced and then attached by Ag paste. The $SiO_2$ wafer had the center notch to initiate a crack from the tip of the notch. The modified stereomicroscope combined with the CCD camera and system for measuring the length was used to observe the fracture behavior. To compare the characteristics before heat treatment and after heat treatment, the specimen was exposed in the furnace at $800^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours and then the interfacial adhesion was evaluated. Finally, the interfacial adhesion energy quantitatively increases $1.78{\pm}0.07J/m^2$ to $4.9{\pm}0.87J/m^2$ between the cathode and Ag paste and also increase $2.9{\pm}0.47J/m^2$ to $5.12{\pm}1.01J/m^2$ between the anode and Ag paste through the high temperature. Therefore, it is expected that Ag paste as current collector was appropriate for improving the structural stability in the stacked SOFC system if the electrical conductivity was more increased.

주요성분이 Sn(93.0 %)-Ag(3.26 %)-Cu(0.89 %)로 구성되는 SAC 폐무연솔더로부터 주석과 은을 회수하기 위한 전기화학적인 방법을 연구하였다. 폐무연솔더의 건식용해, 주조를 통해 제조한 작업전극을 사용하여 분극거동 조사와 정전류 전해용해를 실시하였다. 분극시험 시 활성화영역의 산화전류피크는 전해액의 황산 농도가 높아질수록 감소하였으며, 1 molL^-1 황산농도가 전해용해를 위해 가장 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 정전류 용해 시 전극표면의 부동태층인 양극슬라임이 두꺼워짐에 따라 전극전위가 지속적으로 높아졌으며, 10 mAcm^-2에서 25시간동안 지속적인 전해용해가 가능한 반면 50 mAcm^-2에서는 2.5 시간 이후부터 전극전위가 급상승하여 전해용해반응이 중단되었다. 정전류 전해용해 시 은은 양극슬라임에 농축되었으며, 전해액내 염소이온의 농도가 0.3 molL^-1인 경우 농축율이 미첨가 조건보다 12.7% 높은 94.3%를 나타내었다. 또한 염소이온의 첨가에 의해 전해액내 주석이온의 안정성을 높이고 주석의 전착전류효율을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

$SrZr_{1-x}Y_xO_{3-\delta}$(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.

ReRAM cell, also known as conductive bridging RAM (CBRAM), is a resistive switching memory based on non-volatile formation and dissolution of conductive filament in a solid electrolyte [1,2]. Especially, Chalcogenide-based ReRAM have become a promising candidate due to the simple structure, high density and low power operation than other types of ReRAM but the uniformity of switching parameter is undesirable. It is because diffusion of ions from anode to cathode in solid electrolyte layer is random [3]. That is to say, the formation of conductive filament is not go through the same paths in each switching cycle which is one of the major obstacles for performance improvement of ReRAM devices. Therefore, to control of nonuniform conductive filament formation is a key point to achieve a high performance ReRAM. In this paper, we demonstrated the enhanced repeatable bipolar resistive switching memory characteristics by spreading the Ag nanocrystals (Ag NCs) on amorphous GeSe layer compared to the conventional Ag/GeSe/Pt structure without Ag NCs. The Ag NCs and Ag top electrode act as a metal supply source of our devices. Excellent resistive switching memory characteristics were obtained and improvement of voltage distribution was achieved from the Al/Ag NCs/GeSe/Pt structure. At the same time, a stable DC endurance (>100 cycles) and an excellent data retention (>104 sec) properties was found from the Al/Ag NCs/GeSe/ Pt structured ReRAMs.

We report the enhancement of hole injection using thermally evaporated $CuO_x$ layer between Ag anode and 4,4'-Bis[N-(1-naphthyl)-N-phenylamino]biphenyl ($\alpha$-NPD) in top-emitting organic light-emitting diode (TEOLED). The operation voltage at the current density of $1mA/cm^2$ of TEOLEDs decreased from 6.2 V to 5.0 V as the $CuO_x$ layer inserted between Ag and $\alpha$-NPD. $\alpha$-NPD was deposited in situ on Ag/$CuO_x$ and Ag anodes, and their interface dipole energies were quantitatively determined using synchrotron radiation photoemission spectroscopy. The dipole energy of Ag/$CuO_x$ was lower by 0.05 eV even though Ag/$CuO_x$ had a higher work function. The work function of Ag/$CuO_x$ is higher by 0.53 eV than that of Ag, resulting in a decrease of the turn-on voltage via reduction of hole injection barrier.
