본 연구에서는 피치가 코팅된 실리콘 시트/흑연 음극복합소재의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. NaCl을 주형으로 하여 스토버 법 및 마그네슘 열 환원법을 통해 실리콘 시트를 제조하고, 양친성 물질인 SDBS로 흑연과 결합시켜 실리콘 시트/흑연을 합성하였다. THF를 용매로 석유계 피치가 코팅된 실리콘 시트/흑연 음극복합소재를 제조하였고, 음극복합소재의 물리적 특성은 XRD, SEM, EDS와 TGA를 통해 분석하였다. 전기화학적 특성은 LiPF₆ (EC:DMC:EMC=1:1:1 vol%)의 전해액을 사용해 전지를 제조하여, 충·방전 사이클, 율속, 순환전압전류, 전기화학적 임피던스 테스트를 통해 조사하였다. 실리콘 조성이 증가함에 따라 방전 용량이 증가하였고, 장기 안정성은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 30 wt% 실리콘 조성을 갖는 실리콘 시트/흑연 복합소재에 피치를 코팅한 음극복합소재는 1228.8 mAh/g의 높은 초기 방전 용량을 보였으며, 50사이클 이후 용량 유지율은 77%로 실리콘 시트/흑연 복합소재에 비해 안정성이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn) and aluminium (Al) as anode electrode and the solution of NaCl dissolved with 2~20 wt% as electrolytes were used for the metal-air cell. The open circuit voltage, short circuit current and I-V characteristics upon different kinds of anode electrode and electrolyte concentration were investigated. The open circuit voltage, initially about 1.45 V, rises to 1.6 V during the first 10 minutes indicating the necessity of an induction time to activate the catalyst on the air cathode. The short circuit current increases with an increased concentration of NaCl, causes an increase in the conductivity of the electrolyte solution, but the open circuit voltage did not under undergo influence of electrolyte. From NaCl 20 wt% electrolyte, the maximum output power of the magnesium electrode materials was measured with 177mW. It is found that the power characteristics of metal-air cell could be improved by using magnesium electrode materials in the NaCl electrolyte.

We prepared flexible transparent conducting electrodes by spray coating of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) networks on PET substrate and have demonstrated their use as transparent anodes for flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). The flexible CNT electrode produced by spray coating method shows relatively low sheet resistance ($150{\sim}220{\Omega}/sq.$) and high transmittance of ~60% even though it was prepared at room temperature. In addition, CNT electrode/PET sample exhibits little resistance change during 2000 bending cycles, demonstrated good mechanical robustness. Using transparent CNT electrode, it is readily possible to achieve performances comparable to commercial ITO-based OLEDs. This indicates that flexible CNT electrode is alternative anode materials for conventional ITO anode in flexible OLEDs.

To improve the performance of the anode-supported Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) which can be operated at an intermediate temperature, the functional layer (FL) is introduced on a anode substrate. And the scandia-stabilized zirconia (ScSZ) and samaria-doped ceria (SDC) which have higher ionic conductivity and better chemical stability than yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) are used as material for the anode FL with the Ni, The fabrication process of anode-supported single cell with the anode FL was established and the power density of those was evaluated. As a result, the sample with anode FL (Ni-YSZ) has higher power density than normal cell. The single cell which was composed of the FL (Ni-YSZ) and electrolyte (YSZ) showed about $550mW/cm^2$ of the maximum power density at $650^{\circ}C$ and $1430mW/cm^2$ at $750^{\circ}C$ respectively, In case of the single cell using the ScSZ and SDC as anode FL, the performance of samples decreased rapidly and those showed unstable voltage during long-term test. In case of using methane as a fuel, the cell performance with each FL decreased comparing with $H_2$ fuel. In the region of a high current density, there are large concentration polarizations.

The effect of Co addition on the electrochemical performance and structural stability of porous Ni anode for molten carbonate fuel cell(MCFC) was evaluated by the anodic polarization and the sintering test in the simulated MCFC anode condition ($650^{\circ}C$, 80% $H_2$+20%$CO_2$). The anode current density ranged from 110mA/$cm^2$ to 144mA/$cm^2$ was obtained at +100mV overpotential by additions of Co up to 10 wt.%. The sintering resistance of Ni-Co anodes was higher than that of the pure Ni anode. The increase of sintering resistance seemed to be to the lower diffusion coefficient of Co than that of Ni.

The typical MCFC (molten carbonate fuel cell) anode is made of Ni-10%Cr alloy. The work of this paper is focused concerning long life of anode because Ni-10% Cr anode is suffering from sintering and creep behavior during cell operation. Therefore, Ni-coated Alumina powder($20{\mu}m$) was developed by electroless nickel plating. Optimum condition of electroless nickel coation on $20{\mu}m$ alumina is as follows: pH 11.7, temperature $65{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, powder amount $100cm^2/l$. The deposition rate for Ni-electroless plating was as a function of temperature and activation energy was evaluated by Arrhenius Equation thereby activation energy calculated slope of experimental data as 117.6 kJ/mol, frequency factor(A) was $6.28{\times}10^{18}hr^{-1}$, respectively.

흑연은 리튬이온전지에 사용 되는 대표적인 음극활물질이다. 그러나 최대 이론 용량이 $372mA\;h\;g^{-1}$으로 제한되기 때문에 고용량의 리튬이온전지 개발을 위해서는 새로운 음극 소재 활물질이 필요하다. 실리콘의 최대 이론 용량은 $4200mA\;h\;g^{-1}$으로 흑연보다 높은 값을 나타내지만 부피 팽창이 400%로 크기 때문에 음극 소재 활물질로 바로 적용하기에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서 부피 팽창으로 인한 방전 용량의 감소를 최소화하기 위해 건식 방법으로 실리콘을 분쇄 하여 기계적 응력 및 반응상의 체적 변화를 감소시키고 입도 제어 된 실리콘 입자에 탄소를 코팅하여 체적의 변화를 억제하였다. 그리고 탄소 섬유를 입자 표면에 실타래처럼 성장시켜 2차적으로 부피 팽창을 제어하고 전기전도성을 개선하였다. 실험 변수에 따른 재료들의 물리화학적 특성을 XRD, SEM 및 TEM을 사용하여 측정하였고 전기화학적 특성을 평가 하였다. 본 연구에서는 실리콘의 수명 특성을 향상시켜 음극 소재 활물질로 사용 할 수 있는 합성 방법에 대하여 알아보았다.

Nanomaterials have considerable potential to solve several key challenges in various electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells. However, the use of nanoparticles in high-temperature devices like solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is considered problematic because the nanostructured surface typically prepared by deposition techniques may easily coarsen and thus deactivate, especially when used in high-temperature redox conditions. Herein we report the synthesis of a self-regenerated Pd metal nanoparticle on the perovskite oxide anode surface for SOFCs that exhibit self-recovery from their degradation in redox cycle and $CH_4$ fuel running. Using Pd-doped perovskite, $La(Sr)Fe(Mn,Pd)O_3$, as an anode, fairly high maximum power densities of 0.5 and $0.2cm^{-2}$ were achieved at 1,073 K in $H_2$ and $CH_4$ respectively, despite using thick electrolyte support-type cell. Long-term stability was also examined in $CH_4$ and the redox cycle, when the anode is exposed to air. The cell with Pd-doped perovskite anode had high tolerance against re-oxidation and recovered the behavior of anodic performance from catalytic degradation. This recovery of power density can be explained by the surface segregation of Pd nanoparticles, which are self-recovered via re-oxidation and reduction. In addition, self-recovery of the anode by oxidation treatment was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
