Gd1-xSrxMnO3(0$\leq$X$\leq$0.6) as the cathode for solid oxide fuel cell was synthesized by citrate process and studied for its crystal structure, electrical conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient (TEC), and investigated reactivity with 8 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia(8YSZ) or Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 (CGO). The crystal structure of Gd1-xSrxMnO3 changed from orthorhombic (0$\leq$X$\leq$0.3) through cubic (0.4$\leq$X$\leq$0.5) to tetragonal structure (X=0.6). When Sr contents was increased, the electrical conductivity of Gd1-xSrxMnO3 was inthose of La1-xSrxMnO3, 8YSZ and CGO if Sr content was above 30mol%. TEC of Gd1-xSrxMnO3 was increased with Sr content. After heat treatment at 1300$^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours, reaction product of Gd1-xSrxMnO3 and 8YSZ was SrZrO3. However CGO had no reaction product with Gd1-xSrxMnO3.

$Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-\delta}$ (PSCF3737) was prepared and characterized as a cathode material for intermediate temperature-operating solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC). X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and electrical property measurement were carried out to study cathode performance of the material. XPS and EXAFS results proved that oxygen vacancy concentration was decreased and lattice constants of the perovskite structure material were increased by doping Fe up to 70 mol% at B-site of the crystal structure, which also extended the distance between oxygen and neighbor atoms. Thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of PSCF3737 is smaller than that of $Pr_{0.3}Sr_{0.7}CoO_{3-\delta}$(PSC37) due to lower oxygen vacancy concentration. PSCF3737 showed better cathode performance than PSC37. It might be due good adhesion by a smaller difference of TEC between $Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_2$ (CGO91) and electrode. Composite material PSCF3737-CGO91 showed better compatibility of TEC than PSCF3737. However, PSCF3737-CGO91 did not represent higher electrochemical property than PSCF3737 due to decreased reaction sites by CGO91.

Cobalt-free $La_xSr_{4-x}Fe_6O_{13}$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}2$) oxide have been synthesized and investigated as a potential cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). $Sr_4Fe_6O_{13}$ consists of alternating perovskite layers ($Sr_4Fe_2O_8$) containing iron cations in octahedral oxygen coordination and $Fe_4O_5$ layers where iron cations have 5-fold coordination of two types-square pyramids and trigonal bipyramids. Our preliminary electrochemical testes of pristine $Sr_4Fe_6O_{13}$ show a rather high area specific resistance ($0.47{\Omega}cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$) for ~20 ${\mu}m$ thick layers with CGO electrolyte. The electrochemical performances are improved by La addition up to x=1 ($La_1Sr_3Fe_6O_{13}$, $0.06{\Omega}cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$). In addition, thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) values of $La_1Sr_3Fe_6O_{13}$ specimen demonstrated $15.1{\times}10^{-6}\;^{\circ}C^{-1}$ in the range of 25-900$^{\circ}C$, which provides good thermal expansion compatibility with the CGO electrolyte. An electrolyte supported (300-${\mu}m$-thick) single-cell configuration of $La_1Sr_3Fe_6O_{13}$/CGO/Ni-CGO delivered a maximum power density of 584 $mWcm^{-2}$ at $700^{\circ}C$. In addition, an anode supported single cell by YSZ electrolyte (10-${\mu}m$-thick) with a porous CGO interlayer between the cathode and the electrolyte to avoid undesired interfacial reactions exhibited 1,517 $mWcm^{-2}$ at $800^{\circ}C$. The unique composition of $La_1Sr_3Fe_6O_{13}$ with low thermal expansion coefficient and higher electrochemical properties could be a good cathode candidate for intermediate temperature SOFCs with CGO and YSZ electrolyte.

In this study, the cis to trans isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids were investigated about Soybean oil (SBO), Corn germ oil (CGO), Cottonseed oil (CSO), Margarine (MG), Shortening (ST) incubated at $40{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 35 days and heated at $185{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The contents and kinds of trans fatty acids in each sample were determined by GLC after seperating by HPLC. The results were obtained as follows; 1. When samples were incubated at $40{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 35 days, the contents of total trans fatty acids were increased from $0.5{\sim}12.3%$ to $0.8{\sim}20.5%$. The kinds of trans fatty acids found were $t-C_{18:1},\;t,c-C_{18:2},\;t,t-C_{18:2},\;t,c,c-C_{18:3}$ in $SBO,\;t-C_{18:1},\;t,c-C_{18:2}$ in $CGO,\;t-C_{16:1},\;t-C_{18:1},\;t,c-C_{18:2},\;t,t-C_{18:2}$ in CSO. Processed oil such as MG and ST showed more complicated composition of trans fatty acids than SBO, CGO and CSO. $t-C_{18:1},\;t,c-C_{18:2},\;t,t-C_{18:2},\;t,c,t-C_{18:3},\;t-C_{20:1}$ were detected in ST. 2. In the case of heating at $185{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, the contents of total trans fatty acid were $1.6{\sim}37%$. 2% in all samples. Heating made more remarkable isomerization than incubation $(40{\pm}2^{\circ}C)$. Specially, $c,c,t-C_{18:3}$ in $SBO,\;t,t,t-C_{18:3}$ in $MG,\;t,c,t-C_{18:3},\;t,t,t-C_{18:3}$ in ST were detected. 3. The total contents of trans fatty acids of processed oil were higher than vegetable oils. During incubation, trans fatty acids increased in the order of MG>ST>CGO>SBO>CSO, and during heat treatment, MG>ST>SBO>CGO>CSO.

Optimization of cathode properties for intermediate temperature-operating SOFC (IT-SOFC) is carried out by using composite-type electrode structure in this study. Composite cathode may lower cathode overpotential by enhancing mixed ionic-electronic conductivity. In this study, particularly, LSM/YSZ, LSF/YSZ, LSCF/CGO, and PSC/CGO were selected as cathode materials. LSM/YSZ composite cathode showed the best performance of about 0.9${\Omega}cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$. It is inferred that the resistance is mainly affected by the reactivity between cathode and electrolyte which can cause the formation of resistive phases. Area specific resistance (ASR) characteristics were not changed significantly with decreasing sintering temperature of cathode, because reaction sites were increased even with worse adhesion of cathode on electrolytes.

Agglomeration of catalysts is known as one of the major degradation mechanisms. Reforming of liquid fuel, which requires high temperature over $800^{\circ}C$, accelerates agglomeration of catalysts. In this work, The effects of agglomeration on catalysts activity in partial oxidation reforming conditions were investigated. Metal supported catalysts(Pt-CGO, Ru-CGO) were compared to perovskite-structured catalysts(NECS-P1, NECS-P2). High thermal stability of perovskite-structured catalysts was reported. Micro-reactor installed in electric furnace was used. its Temperature was raised from $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ to accelerate agglomeration effect. To measure rate of agglomeration, BET analysis and CO pulse chemisorption were conducted on catalysts exposed to $1100^{\circ}C$. Metal supported catalysts showed degradation at $1000^{\circ}C$ and The rates were different according to metal supported. On the other hand perovskite-structured catalysts showed no degradation at $1000^{\circ}C$.

G $d_{0.2}$C $e_{0.8}$ $O_{1.9}$(CGO) for electrolyte and L $a_{0.5}$S $r_{0.5}$Mn $O_3$(LSM50) for cathode in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells(SOFC) were synthesized by citrate process. Specimens were prepared with sintering temperatures at 110$0^{\circ}C$, 120$0^{\circ}C$ and 130$0^{\circ}C$, which were fabricated by slurry coating with citric acid contents. Interfacial resistance was measured between cathode and electrolyte using AC-impedance analyzer. With various citric acid content, the degree of agglomeration for the initial particles changed. Also sintering temperature changed the particle size and the degree of densification of cathode. Factors affecting the interfacial resistance were adherent degree of the electrolyte and cathode, distribution of TPB(three phase boundaries, TPB i.e., electrolyte/electrode/gas phase area) and porosity of cathode. By increasing the sintering temperature, particle size and densification of the cathode were increased. And then, TPB area which occurs catalytic reaction was reduced and so interfacial resistance was increased.sed.sed.d.

The cause and the degree of the cis to trans isomerization were investigated about soybean oil (SBO), corngerm oil (CGO), cottonseed oil (CSO), margarine (MG) and shortening (ST). All samples treated with various conditions were analyzed to determine physicochemical characteristics (AV, POV, IV, RI), fatty acid composition, total trans fatty acid content and change of trans fatty acid composition by GLC, IR and HPLC. The results were obtained as follows; 1. Physicochemical constants were changed with a gentle slope according to incubating period at 40${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$ and physicochemical constants of margarine and shortening were changed, significiantly. 2. The saturation degree in the unsaturated fatty acid composition determined by GLC gradually were increased during incubation and heating periodically. For palmitic-and stearic acid content at the samples stored in the incubator, the saturation degrees were gradually increased. But for the case of heat treatment, they were increased more rapidly than other fatty acids. 3. Total trans fatty acid contents in each samples were determined by GLC, IR and HPLC, the amount of trans fatty acids were measured with discrepancy. It was caused by deviation of analytical instruments, methods and the kinds of samples. Trans fatty acids were measured more definitly in IR more than GLC and HPLC. On the other hand, total trans fatty acid contents in average levels for SBO, CGO, CSO, MG and ST stored for 35 days and heated for 24 hours were 1.3%, 1.1%, 0.9%, 22.6% and 13.8%, and 3.6%, 3.0%, 2.8%, 41.2% and 20.8%, respectively.

Effect of random interesterification on the physicochemical properties in blends of corn germ oil and fully hydrogenated soybean oil was studied. Interesterification by using 0.4% sodium methoxide at $80^{\circ}C$ was completed in 35 minutes as determined by HPLC analysis for triglyceride composition. Changes of melting point, solid fat content, crystal form, fatty acid and triglyceride composition was investigated. After the interesterification, melting point and solid fat content were decreased, and coarse and large crystals were modified to fine and uniform. Fatty acid composition was not altered but triglyceride composition was largely altered. Interesterified blends of corn germ oil and fully hydrogenated soybean oil made with 80%, 20% and 75%. 25%, respectively, had desirable characteristics of the margarine for home use.
