리튬이온 이차전지에 사용되는 탄소부극의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 결정성계 탄소재료와 비결정성계 탄소재료의 혼합비율에 따른 조합형 탄소전극을 제조하였으며, 이들의 전기화학적 특성과 충방전 특성을 조사하여 조합비율에 따른 리튬의 삽입과 탈삽입 반응기구 및 최적의 조합조건을 찾고자 하였다. 탄소전극은 결정성계 탄소재료인 natural graphite와 $700^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 열처리된 비결정성계 탄소재료인 petroleum cokes를 사용하였다. 조합비에 따라 제조된 조합형 탄소전극은 두 가지 형태의 탄소재료가 갖는 전극특성을 지니며 50:50wt%로 조합하였을 때 가장 우수한 전기화학적 특성과 충 방전 특성을 나타냈다.

The variations of the positive and negative electrode potentials, and of internal pressure were measured during the charge of the sealed type Ni-Cd cell. Both polarization characteristics of a paste type Cd-electrode as a gas diffusion electrode in 30% KOH solution and the effects of active carbon electrode as an oxygen consuming auxiliary electrode of the Ni-Cd cell on the charging characteristics of the cell were studied. Peak voltage at the end of charge of the cell is ascribed to the peak at the negative electrode potential, which is due to the concentration polarization by the lack of $Cd^{++}$ ion and oxygen concentration. And the recovery of the negative electrode potential is resulted from depolarization by the increasing diffusion limiting current density with the increasing oxygen pressure. The active carbon electrode was effective as an oxygen consuming auxiliary electrode. The internal pressure of the cell could be maintained below 200mmHg even at one hour rate charge and overcharge by the use of active carbon electrode as an auxiliary electrode.

In this work, soft carbons produced by pyrolysis of petroleum and coal-tar pitch were used as the negative electrode for Li-ion batteries. We studeid the charge/discharge capacity and the interfacial reaction of these electrodes by constructing a half cell. Charge/discharge property was studied by a constant-current step and the interfacial reaction between the electrolyte and the surface of a carbon electrode was studied by the cyclic voltammetry. The initial charge/discharge capacity for the coal-tar pitch carbon increased exceedingly with the heat treatment temperature. On hte other hand, the capacity of the petroleum pitch carbon increased with temperature up to 1000$^{\circ}C$, thereafter decreased continuously. While the charge capacity decreased with the cycle number, the reversibility increased above 90%. In addition, the thermal stability and crystallization of petroleum and coal-tar pitches were analyzed by TGA and XRD, respectively.

A hybrid supercapacitor is fabricated using a composite material from $LiMn_2O_4$ (LMO) and activated carbon (AC) as the positive electrode and AC as the negative electrode to form the (LMO + AC)/AC system. Volume ratio (positive : negative) of electrodes is controlled to investigate of the power and energy balance. The (LMO + AC)/AC system shows better performances than the LMO/AC system. Especially, electrochemical impedance spectra, rate charge.discharge and cycle performance testing show that the (LMO + AC)/AC system have an outstanding electrochemical performance at volume ratios of (LMO + AC)/AC = 1 : 1.7 and 1 : 2. Electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) capacitance between AC of the positive electrode and AC of the negative electrode improves power density without loss of capacitance. Stable capacitance is achieved by lowering the positive electrode resistance and balancing the energy and power densities between the positive and negative electrodes by the addition of AC to the positive electrode at high current density.

The purposes of this research are to know the dust removal efficiency according to the changes of gab between positive and negative plates in dust removal chamber. The experiments for dust removal efficiencies were conducted with changing the electrode-plate gab from 2 cm to 1 cm while the electric pressure, influent flow, and linear velocity were kept 5 kV, 80 L/min, and 6 cm/sec, respectively. From the experimental results of the electrode-plate gab of 2 cm, dust removal efficiencies were decreased to as low as about 50%. Attached dust on the surface of electrodes was released due to a reverse electric charge of dust. From the experimental results of the electrode-plate gab of 1 cm, dust removal efficiencies were increased to as high as about 80% due to the dust attachment velocity to the electrodes to be far more fast than influent linear velocity. Finally, to protect a attached dust from occurring a reverse electric charge it is needed to install the non-conductor between positive and negative electrodes and also to remove air humidity.

리튬이온 이차전지용 음극 활물질인 탄소가 코팅된 실리콘 일산화물(carbon-coated silicon monoxide, c-SiO_x)은 용량이 높지만, 충방전 중의 부피변화로 인해 사이클 수명이 제한된다. 특히, 활물질의 큰 부피 변화는 전극의 구조를 변형시켜 전자의 전달경로가 쉽게 손상될 수 있다. 전극에서 전자전달 경로를 형성하는 도전재인 카본블랙 중 일부를 선형의 형태를 지니는 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT)로 대체하여 활물질의 부피변화로 인한 전극의 손상을 완화하여 성능을 개선하고자 한다. 전극 내의 전체 도전재의 함량을 10 중량%로 고정하고, 탄소나노튜브의 상대적인 함량을 0, 2, 5, 10, 25 중량%로 카본블랙의 일부를 대체하여 전극을 제조하고 전기화학적 성능을 평가하였다. 전극 내의 탄소나노튜브의 함량이 증가함에 따라 사이클 수명과 속도특성이 모두 향상된다. 부피 변화가 큰 c-SiO_x 음극에 소량의 CNT를 도전재로 적용하는 것으로 전지의 전기화학적 성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 CNT를 잘 분산시키게 되면 더 적은 양을 사용하면서도 동등한 성능을 구현할 수 있다.

The electrosorption of U(VI) from waste water was carried out by using an activated carbon fiber (ACF) felt electrode in a continuous electrosorption cell. In order to enhance the electrosorption capacity at a lower potential, the ACF was electrochemically modified in an acidic and a basic solution. Pore structure and functional groups of the electrochemically modified ACF were examined, and the effects of the modification conditions were studied for the adsorption of U(VI). Specific surface area of all the ACFs was decreased by this modification. The amount of the acidic functional groups decreased with a basic modification, while the amount increased a lot with an acidic modification. The electrosorption capacity of U(VI) decreased on the acid modified electrode due to the shielding effect of the acidic functional groups. The base modified electrode enhanced the capacity due to a reduction of the acidic functional groups. The electrosorption amount of U(VI) on the base modified electrode at .0.3 V corresponds to that of the as-received ACF electrode at .0.9 V. Such a good adsorption capacity was due to a reduction of the shielding effect and an increase of the hydroxyl ions in the electric double layer on the ACF surface by the application of negative potential.

본 연구의 목적은 분진제거 장치에서 전극간의 적정간격을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 실험은 전극간격을 3 cm, 2 cm, 1 cm로 직렬로 놓고 유입유량을 변화시켜 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 분진제거를 위한 적정 선속도는 6 cm/sec였고 전극표면에 부착되는 분진 총량은 전극의 간격이 가까울수록 증가하였다. 그러나 1 cm 정도로 매우 가까울 경우는 전극판에 부착된 분진은 탈착되었으며 이는 분착된 분진의 역이온화 즉 전하의 변화 때문인 것으로 사료되었다. 결과적으로 전극판에서 양전극과 음전극 간의 간격은 2 cm가 적당하고 이때의 분진부하율은 $24mg/min{\cdot}m^2$였다.

The electrochemical behaviors of estrone in the presence of various surfactants were examined with great details. It is found that a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), obviously facilitates the electro-oxidation of estrone at carbon paste electrode (CPE) from the significant peak current enhancement and the negative shift of peak potential. Additionally, chronocoulometry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also used for further investigation of the electrode process of estrone, indicating that low concentration of CTAB exhibits excellent enhancement effects on the electrochemical oxidation of estrone, greatly enhances the diffusion coefficient and the electron transfer rate. Based on this, an electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of estrone. The oxidation peak current is proportional to the concentration of estrone in the ranges over 9.0 × 10?8 - 8.0 × 10?6 mol/L, and a low detection limit of 4.0 × 10?8 mol/L was obtained for 180s accumulation at open circuit (S/N = 3). Finally, this proposed method was demonstrated using estrone tablets with good satisfaction.
