[ $Ta_2O_5$ ]절연막을 제조하기 위하여 ANODE OXIDATION 공정을 수립하였다. Electrolyte에서의 전압강하는 정전류 모드에서 예상되는 전압의 변화에는 영향을 주지 않지만, 정전압모드에서 전류의 변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 전해질에서의 전압 강하가 음극산화 전압과 같은 값을 갖는 경우, 전류는 $Ta_2O_5$/전해질 계면에서의 전압 강하가 증가함에 따라 logarithmic한 형태로 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 음극 $Ta_2O_5$ 절연막 제조공정에 있어서 전해질에서의 전압 강하는 정전류 모드에서 두께의 손실을 발생시키지만, 정 전압 모드에서 다시 복원되기 때문에, 최종 두께는 음극산화 전압에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 음극 $Ta_2O_5$ 절연막의 전기적 특성을 조사한 결과, 항복전압은 Electrolyte의 농도와 Anodization Current 반비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 절연막의 두께가 $1500\AA$일 때 Breakdown Voltage는 350volt. 유전상수는 29로 측정되었다.

The anode may inevitably undergo a number of reduction.oxidation (redox) cycles during solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) operation. The re-oxidation of Ni to NiO causes significant mechanical stress to be developed across the anode, which may destroy the integrity of the whole cell. In this study, the redox behavior of Ni-YSZ composite was examined at $800^{\circ}C$ using various characterization techniques.

As the semiconductor devices are miniaturized, the number of the unit cleaning processes increases. In order to processes by conventional RCA cleaning process, the consumption of volume of liquid chemical and DI water became huge. Therefore, the problem of environmental issues are evolved by the increased consumption of chemicals. To resolve this matter, an advanced cleaning process by Electrolyzed Water was studied in this work. The electrolyzed water was made by an electrolysis equipment which was composed of three chambers of anode, cathode, and middle chambers. In the case of electrolyzed water with electrolytes in the middle chamber, oxidatively acidic water of anode and reductively alkaline water of cathode were obtained. The oxidation/reduction potentials and pH of anode water and cathode water were measured to be +l000mV and 4.8, and -530mV and 6.3, respectively. The Si-wafers contaminated with metallic impurities were cleaning with the electrolyzed water. To analysis the amounts of metallic impurities on Si-water surfaces, ICP-MS(Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass spectrometer) was introduced. From results of ICP-MS measurements, it was concluded that the ability of electrolyzed water was equivalent to that of the conventional RCA cleaning.

Different oxidation treatments on CNTs using diluted 4.0 M $H_2SO_4$ solution at room temperature and or at $90^{\circ}C$ reflux conditions were investigated to elucidate the physical and chemical changes occurring on the treated CNTs, which might have significant effects on their performance as catalyst supports in PEM fuel cells. Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope analyses were made for the acid treated CNTs to determine the particle size and distribution of the CNT-supported Pt-Ru nanoparticles. These CNT-supported Pt-based nanoparticles were then employed as anode catalysts in PEMFC to investigate their catalytic activity and single-cell performance towards $H_2$ oxidation. Based on PEMFC performance results, refluxed Pt-Ru/CNT catalysts prepared using CNTs treated at $90^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 h as anode have shown better catalytic activity and PEMFC polarization performance than those of the commercially available Pt-Ru/C catalyst from ETEK and other Pt-Ru/CNT catalysts developed using raw CNT, thus demonstrating the importance of acid treatment in improving and optimizing the surface properties of catalyst support.

This paper reports the facile synthesis of microlamella-structured porous copper (Cu)-oxide-based electrode and its potential application as an advanced anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Nanowire-like Cu oxide, which is created by a simple thermal oxidation process, is radially and uniformly formed on the entire surface of Cu foam that has been fabricated using a combination of water-based slurry freezing and sintering (freeze casting). Compared to the Cu foil with a Cu oxide layer grown under the same processing conditions, the Cu foam anode with 63% porosity exhibits over twice as much capacity as the Cu foil (264.2 vs. 131.1 mAh/g at 0.2 C), confirming its potential for use as an anode electrode for LIBs.

Zymomonas mobilis was immobilized in a modified graphite felt cathode with neutral red (NR-cathode) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cultivated on a platinum plate anode. An electrochemical redox reaction was induced by 3 volts of electric potential charged to the cathode and anode. The Z. mobilis produced 1.3-1.5 M of ethanol in the cathode compartment, whereas the S. cerevisiae produced 1.7-1.9 M in the anode compartment after 96 h. The ethanol produced by the Z. mobilis immobilized in the NR-cathode and S. cerevisiae cultivated on the platinum plate was 1.5-1.6 times higher than that produced under conventional conditions. The electrochemical oxidation potential inhibited Z. mobilis, but activated S. cerevisiae. The SDS-PAGE pattern of the total soluble proteins extracted from the Z. mobilis cultivated under the electrochemical oxidation conditions was gradually simplified in proportion to the potential intensity. Z. mobilis and S. cerevisiae were cultivated in the cathode and anode compartments, respectively, of an electrochemical redox combination system. The Z. mobilis culture cultivated in the cathode compartment for 24 h was continuously transferred to the S. cerevisiae culture in the anode compartment at a rate of 300 ml/day. Approx. 1.0-1.2 M of ethanol was produced by the Z. mobilis in the cathode compartment within 24 h, and an additional 0.8-0.9 M produced by the S. cerevisiae in the anode compartment within another 24 h. Thus, a total of 2.0-2.1 M of ethanol was produced by the electrochemical redox combination of Z. mobilis and S. cerevisiae within 48 h.

$Sr_{0.92}Y_{0.08}Ti_{0.5}Fe_{0.5}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (SYTF0.5) is investigated as an alternative anode in $H_2$ fuels containing $H_2S$ (0-200 ppm). Although additional ionic conductivity is introduced by aliovalent substitution of $Ti^{4+}$ by $Fe^{3+}$ in the B-site, the SYTF0.5 has lower electrical conductivity than that of the $Sr_{0.92}Y_{0.08}TiO_{3-{\delta}}$. Due to the mixed ionic and electronic conductive (MIEC) property exhibited in the SYTF0.5 anode, the electrochemical performance of the SYTF0.5 anode is improved, as well as the sulfur tolerance. The maximum power densities in $H_2$ at $900^{\circ}C$ for the SYT anode and the SYTF0.5 anode were 56.9 and $98.6mW/cm^2$, respectively. The maximum power density in the SYTF0.5 anode at 200 ppm of $H_2S$ concentration decreased by only 12.9% (86.3 to $75.2mW/cm^2$).

The group of Fe(III) oxide-reducing bacteria includes exoelectrogenic bacteria, and they possess similar properties of transferring electrons to extracellular insoluble-electron acceptors. The exoelectrogenic bacteria can use the anode in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as the terminal electron acceptor in anaerobic acetate oxidation. In the present study, the anodic community was compared with the community using Fe(III) oxide (ferrihydrite) as the electron acceptor coupled with acetate oxidation. To precisely analyze the structures, the community was established by enrichment cultures using the same inoculum used for the MFCs. High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed considerable differences between the structure of the anodic communities and that of the Fe(III) oxide-reducing community. Geobacter species were predominantly detected (>46%) in the anodic communities. In contrast, Pseudomonas (70%) and Desulfosporosinus (16%) were predominant in the Fe(III) oxide-reducing community. These results demonstrated that Geobacter species are the most specialized among Fe(III)-reducing bacteria for electron transfer to the anode in MFCs. In addition, the present study indicates the presence of a novel lineage of bacteria in the genus Pseudomonas that highly prefers ferrihydrite as the terminal electron acceptor in acetate oxidation.

Oxidation behaviours of ash free coal (AFC), carbon, and H₂ fuels were investigated with a coin type molten carbonate fuel cell. Because AFC has no electrical conductivity, its oxidation occurs via gasification to H₂ and CO. An interesting behaviour of mass transfer resistance reduction at higher current density was observed. Since the anode reaction has the positive reaction order of H₂, CO₂ and H₂O, the lack of CO₂ and H₂O from AFC results in a significant mass transfer resistance. However, the anode products of CO₂ and H₂O at higher current densities raise their partial pressure and mitigate the resistance. The addition of CO₂ to AFC reduced the resistance sufficiently, thus the resistance reduction at higher current densities did not appear. Electrochemical impedance results also indicate that the addition of CO₂ reduces mass transfer resistance. Carbon and H₂ fuels without CO₂ and H₂O also show similar behaviour to AFC: mass transfer resistance is diminished by raising current density and adding CO₂.
