Ti/$IrO_2$ 를 양극으로 SUS 316L 을 음극으로 사용한 전기분해 반응조에 간접산화조를 설치하여 간접산화 효과를 제시함으로써 하폐수 재활용 시스템의 설계에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 전기분해 반응조의 운전조건은 극판 간격, 전류 밀도, 전해질 농도에 대한 영향을 조사하여 극판 간격 6 mm, 전류 밀도 1.0 $A/dm^2$ L, 전해질 농도 15%로 설정하였다. 산화에 의한 제거효율은 유기물은 COD로서 직접산화조에서 55%, 간접산화조에서 12.5${\sim}$15.0%의 추가 분해가 일어나고 있으며 T-N (전체 질소량), T-P(전체 인량)는 직접산화조에서 각각 88%, 75%의 제거효율을 나타내고 있으나 COD제거와는 달리 간접산화조의 추가 제거 효과는 거의 없는 것으로 판명되었다. 또한 COD, T-N, T-P의 제거는 2-5일의 반응초기에 일어나고 있기 때문에 전기 분해 반응조의 체류시간을 크게 설계할 필요는 없다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

Direct alcohol fuel cells (DAFCs) have gained much attention as promising energy conversion devices due to their ability to utilize alcohol as a fuel source. In this regard, Molybdenum-based electrocatalysts (Mo-ECs) have emerged as a substitution for expensive Pt and Ru-based co-catalyst electrode materials in DAFCs, owing to their unique electrochemical properties useful for alcohol oxidation. The catalytic activity of Mo-ECs displays an increase in alcohol oxidation current density by several folds to 1000-2000 mA mg_Pt^-1, compared to commercial Pt and PtRu catalysts of 10-100 mA mg_Pt^-1. In addition, the methanol oxidation peak and onset potential have been significantly reduced by 100-200 mV and 0.5-0.6 V, respectively. The performance of Mo-ECs in both acidic and alkaline media has shown the potential to significantly reduce the Pt loading. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the bifunctional mechanism involved in the oxidation of alcohols and factors affecting the electrocatalytic oxidation of alcohol, such as synthesis method, structural properties, and catalytic support materials. Furthermore, the challenges and prospects of Mo-ECs for DAFCs anode materials are discussed. This in-depth review serves as valuable insight toward enhancing the performance and efficiency of DAFC by employing Mo-ECs.

A nano-porous structure of tin oxide was prepared using an anodic oxidation process and the sample's electrochemical properties were evaluated for application as an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery. Microscopic images of the as-anodized sample indicated that it has a nano-porous structure with an average pore size of several tens of nanometers and a pore wall size of about 10 nanometers; the structural/compositional analyses proved that it is amorphous stannous oxide (SnO). The powder form of the as-anodized specimen was satisfactorily lithiated and delithiated as the anode in a lithium battery. Furthermore, it showed high initial reversible capacity and superior rate performance when compared to previous fabrication attempts. Its excellent electrode performance is probably due to the effective alleviation of strain arising from a cycling-induced large volume change and the short diffusion length of lithium through the nano-structured sample. To further enhance the rate performance, the attempt was made to create porous tin oxide film on copper substrate by anodizing the electrodeposited tin. Nevertheless, the full anodization of tin film on a copper substrate led to the mechanical disintegration of the anodic tin oxide, due most likely to the vigorous gas evolution and the surface oxidation of copper substrate. The adhesion of anodic tin oxide to the substrate, together with the initial reversibility and cycling stability, needs to be further improved for its application to high-power electrode materials in lithium batteries.

리튬 금속 음극은 낮은 환원 전위, 고에너지 밀도로 인해 흑연을 대체할 차세대 음극재로 재조명 받고 있다. 하지만, 충방전시 리튬 금속 표면에서의 반복적인 산화/환원 반응에 의해 리튬 덴드라이트가 형성되며 이로 인해 수명특성이 급격하게 저하되고 더 나아가 내부 단락(Internal Short-circuit)과 같은 안전성 문제로 인해 상용화되기에는 어려운 실정이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구 그룹에서는 리튬 금속에 미세 패턴을 형성하여 전류 밀도를 제어함으로써 덴드라이트 형성을 제어하였으나, 고전류밀도에서는 리튬 덴드라이트의 형성을 완벽하게 제어할 수는 없었다. 본 연구에서는 미세 패턴화된 리튬 금속 전극에 전해질 첨가제 Vinylene Carbonate(VC)를 도입하여 고율 충방전 시 미세 패턴화된 리튬 금속 전극의 덴드라이트 형성 억제를 극대화하고자 하였다. 미세 패턴화된 리튬 금속 전극과 VC 첨가제의 시너지 효과로 인해 높은 전류 밀도에서의 리튬 덴드라이트가 비교적 치밀하게 형성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이로 인해 300사이클 동안 88.3%의 용량유지율을 보였으며, 기존의 미세 패턴화된 리튬 금속 전극에 대비하여 수명특성이 약 6배 이상 향상된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In order to reduce or avoid oxidation problem at operation the interconnects in SOFCs have so far mostly been made of ceramic material. It has high chemical stability both under cathode and anode condition, relatively thermal expansion coefficient that matchs that of electrolyte material YSZ. But this material shown rather weak in the low oxygen atmosphere and thermal shock, and it has lower mechanical strength than alloys. To avoid these problems one may consider to use metals or alloys as materials for interconnects. Metallic interconnects are advantageous because of their high thermal and electronic conductivities. But it has some problems, Those are high thermal expansion and oxidation at high temperature in air. To solve these problems in the interconnection material in this study, $LaCrO_3$-dispersed Cr alloys for metallic interconnector of SOFC have been investigated as a fuction of $LaCrO_3$ content in the range of 5 to 25 vol.%. The Cr alloy were prepared by mixing Cr and $LaCrO_3$ powders in high-energy ball mill for 48h and by sintering under Ar atmosphere with 5vol.% $H_2$ for 10h at $1500^{\circ}C$. The alloys had a relative density of 95% and above. The Cr alloys in composed of two kind of small $LaCrO_3$ and large Cr particles. As the $LaCrO_3$ content increased, the Cr particle size decreased but the $LaCrO_3$ particle size remained contant. Also the oxidation tests show that the $LaCrO_3$-dispersed Cr is very resistant to oxidation in air. These results means that $LaCrO_3$-dispersed Cr is a useful material for metallic interconnect of planar SOFC.
