Ni/MH 2차전지의 음극용 금속간화합물전극의 부식특성에 미치는 합금원소와 결합제의 영향을 조사하였다. 전극의 재료는 $(LM)Ni_{4.49}Co_{0.1}Mn_{0.205}Al_{0.205}$와 $(LM)Ni_{3.6}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}Al_{0.4}$의 $AB_5$ type합금을 모재로 하였다. 여기에 Si sealant 또는 PTFE를 결합제로 첨가한 것과 원재료 분말에 구리를 20% 무전해도금한 것을 냉간 압착하여 전극을 제조하였다. 부식특성을 조사하기위해 탈공기된 6M의 KOH 용액에서 동전위법과 순환전위법을 이용하여 부식전류와 전류밀도를 측정하였다. 모재에 Co가 많이 함유되면 전극의 내식성을 향상시키고 Ni이 많이 함유되면 충전과 방전을 반복하는 동안에 전극의 안정성을 저하시켰다. 부식전류밀도는 Si sealant를 결합제로 사용한 전극의 경우가 PTFE를 사용한 전극의 경우보다 낮았고 Cu가 도금된 전극은 내식성에서 가장 우수하게 나타났다.

Hf thin films were deposited on bottom metal using a RF magnetron sputtering method followed by oxidation and annealing in O$_2$ and N$_2$ ambient, respectively. Various top metal electrodes (i.e., Al, Au, and Cu) were deposited by evaporation, and their roles on physical and electrical properties were investigated. Using the XRD, SEM and AFM techniques, we confirmed that the grain size of HfO$_2$ thin films enlarges as a function of oxidation temperature, increasing dielectric constant. However, other electrical properties (e.g., tan) deteriorateas a consequence. The dielectric constant and tan of HfO$_2$ thin films oxidized at 500 $^{\circ}C$ were 17-25 and 3${\times}$10-3 - 2x10-2, respectively, in the frequency range of 1 Hz to 1 MHz. The leakage current density was less than 1${\times}$10-8A/cm2 up to 0.7 MV/cm. In addition, electrical properties of HfO$_2$ thin films (e.g., the dielectric constant, leakage current and tan $\delta$) depend on top metal electrode. We showed that Al top metal electrode results in the best result.

Sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC), equipped with Zn, Al, Cu, Fe or graphite felt (GF) anode and marine sediment, was performed. Graphite felt was used as a common cathode. SMFC was single chambered and did not use any redox mediator. The aim of this work was to find efficient anodic material. Oxidation reduction potential (ORP), cell voltage, current density, power density, pH and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were measured for SMFC's performance.. The order of maximum power density was $913mWm^{-2}$ for Zn, $646mWm^{-2}$ for Fe, $387.8mWm^{-2}$ for Cu, $266mWm^{-2}$ for Al, and $127mWm^{-2}$ for graphite felt (GF). The current density over voltage was found to be strongly correlated with metal electrodes, but the graphite felt electrode, in which relatively weaker electricity was observed because of its bio-oriented mechanism. Metal corrosion reactions and/or a complicated microbial electron transfer mechanism acting around the anodic compartment may facilitate to generate electricity. We presume that more sophisticated selection of anodic material can lead to better performance in SMFC.

In this study, an electric resistance-heated surface friction spot-welding process was proposed and tested for the spot-welding ability of copper and aluminum dissimilar metal sheets using electric resistance heating and surface friction heating. This process has welding variables, such as the current value, energizing cycles, rotational speed, and friction time. The current value and energizing cycle can affect the resistance heat, and the rotational speed of the rotating pin and friction time influence frictional heat generation. Resistance heating before friction heating has a preheating effect on the Cu-Al contact interface and a positive effect on preventing friction heat loss during the friction stage. However, because resistance preheating can soften the copper sheet and affect the contact stress and friction coefficient, it has difficulties that may adversely affect frictional heat generation. Therefore, the optimal combination of welding variables should be determined through simulations and experiments of the spot-welding process to determine the effects of electric resistance preheating on the suggested process. Through this procedure, it is known that the proposed spot-welding process can improve the welding quality during the spot welding of Cu-Al sheets.

Electrical conduction characteristics of XLPE film evaporated with different metal electrode are discussed. The relation between electrical current(I) and Voltage(V) in the M(metal)-I(XLPE)-M(metal) structure are measured in the temperature range from 25$[^{\circ}C]$ to 90[$[^{\circ}C]$ . Several kinds of metals are used as electrode, such as, Al, Ag and Cu.From the experimental results, it is conclused that the conduction mechanism at highelectric field is SCLC. The dependences of temperature and kinds of metal on the trap filled electric field level can be well explained by this theory.

We have studied stability in organic light-emitting diode depending on buffer layer and cathode. A transparent electrode of indium-tin-oxide(ITO) was used as an anode. An electron injection energy barrier into organic material is different depending on a work function of cathodes. Theoretically, the energy barriers for the electron injection are 1.2 eV, -0.1 eV, and 0.0 eV for Al, LiAl, and LiF/Al at 300 K, respectively. We considered the cases that holes are injected to organic light-emitting diode. The hole injection energy barrier is about 0.7 eV between ITO and TPD without buffer layer. For hole-injection buffer layers of CuPc and PEDOT:PSS, the hole injection energy barriers are 0.4 eV and 0.5 eV, respectively. When the buffer layer of CuPc and PEDOT:PSS is existed, we observed the effects of hole injection energy barrier, and a reduction of operating-voltage. However, in case of PVK buffer layer, the hole injection energy barrier becomes high(1.0 eV). Even though the operating voltage becomes high, the efficiency is improved. A device structure for optimal lifetime condition is ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/$Alq_3$/LiAl at an initial luminance of $300cd/m^2$.

The objective of this study is to obtain the optimal process condition and the maximum decomposition efficiency by measuring the decomposition efficiency, electricity consumption, and voltage in accordance with the change of the process variables such as the frequency, maintaining time period, concentration, electrode material, thickness of the electrode, the number of windings of the electrode, and added materials etc. of the harmful atmospheric contamination gases such as NO, $NO_2$, and $SO_2$ etc. with the plasma which is generated by the discharging of the specially designed and manufactured $TiO_2$ catalysis reactor and SPCP reactor. The decomposition efficiency of the NO, the standard samples, is obtained with the plasma which is being generated by the discharge of the combination effect of the $TiO_2$ catalysis reactor and SPCP reactor with the variation of those process variables such as the frequency of the high voltage generator($5{\sim}50kHz$), maintaining time of the harmful gases($1{\sim}10.5sec$), initial concentration($100{\sim}1,000ppm$), the material of the electrode(W, Cu, Al), the thickness of the electrode(1, 2, 3mm), the number of the windings of the electrode(7, 9, 11turns), basic gases($N_2$, $O_2$, air), and the simulated gas($CO_2$) and the resulting substances are analyzed by utilizing FT-IR & GC.

We have studied a lifetime in organic light-emitting diodes depending on buffer layer. A transparent electrode of indium-tin-oxide(ITO) was used as an anode. And the cathode for electron injection was LiAl. Phthalocyanine Copper(CuPc), Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (PEDOT:PSS), or poly (9-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) material was used as a buffer layer. A thermal evaporation was performed to make a thickness of 40nm of TPD layer at a rate of $0.5{\sim}1\;{\AA}/s$ at a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}\;torr$. A material of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate) Aluminum($Alq_3$) was used as an electron transport and emissive layer. A thermal evaporation of $Alq_3$ was done at a deposition rate of $0.7{\sim}0.8[{\AA}/s]$ at a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}\;torr$. By varying the buffer material, hole injection at the interface could be controlled because of the change in work function. Devices with CuPc and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer are superior to the other PVK buffer layer.

The Decomposition of NO$_2$ (nitrogen dioxide), one of the Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), was studied by utilizing the SPCP (Surface induced discharge Plasma Chemical Processing) reactor so as to obtain optimum process variables and maximum decomposition efficiencies. Experimental results showed that for the frequency of 10kHz, the highest deco position efficiency of 84.7% for NO$_2$ was observed at the power consumptions of 20W. The decomposition efficiency of $NO_2$ was found to be: 1) proportional to the residence times, and inversely proportional to the initial concentrations of $NO_2$; 2) the maximum when the electrode diameter was 3mm; 3) influenced by the electrode material, decreasing in the order of W>Cu>Al; and 4) proportional to the $CH_4$ content, due to which the highest efficiency of 98% was obtained with almost all the $NO_2$ removed.

This paper carried out an experiment on the characteristics of time, temperature, electric field and the dependense of electrode materials and gap length by the conduction current of the insulating oil used for x-ray tube housing. The obtained results can be summarized as following: 1. In the x-ray tube housing insulating oil with vacuum condition, conduction current is declined more than the x-ray tube housing insultaing oil with the air, and is held stable states. 2. At the low electric field the higher temperature of the x-ray tube housing insulating oil is increased, the more conduction current. 3. The dependence of electrode material is appeared at the low electric field and the short gap length than the high and the long with Fe> Cu >Al. 4. At the I-E characteristics, the low electric field than 1000 [V/cm] is appeared Ohm's law region, and the high become saturation region. 5. At the same electric field, the longer gap length become, the more conduction current is increased, and the same applied voltage, the longer, the less conduction current is decreased, the less low than high temperature x-ray tube housing insulating oil.
