Ferrocenyl chalcones (Fc-C(O)CH=CH-Ar: Fc-Ar) with mono- and di-1-naphthalenyl moieties (Fc-1Naph and Fc-d1Naph) were prepared and spectroscopically characterized. The enone bridge was in the s-cis conformation and the $\pi$-electrons on the C=C bond were further delocalized on the bridge. The naphthalenyl moiety deviates greatly from the enone-Cp plane by $26.9(1)^{\circ}$. Cyclic voltammetry measurements for Fc-1Naph exhibit one reversible cycle for the redox of the ferrocenyl moiety at a lower potential, and one irreversible oxidation peak at the higher potential region. For Fc-d1Naph, the cyclic voltammogram is more featureless. Fluorescence properties for both compounds are active in polar solvents with $\lambda_{em}$ = 500 nm (EtOH) and $\lambda_{em}$ = 512 nm (MeOH) for Fc-1Naph and $\lambda_{em}$ = 496 nm (EtOH) and $\lambda_{em}$ = 508 nm (MeOH) for Fc-d1Naph. The intensity of Fc-d1Naph is more than twice than that of Fc-1Naph. The fluorescence properties for both compounds are inactive in the less polar solvents such as $CH_3CN$, $CH_2Cl_2$ and $CHCl_3$.

BDD(Boron Doped Diamond) 전극은 전위창이 넓고, 다른 불용성 전극에 비해 산소발생과전압이 높아 물을 전기화학적인 방법으로 처리하는 영역에 있어 매우 효과적일 뿐만 아니라, 전통적인 불용성 전극에 비해 전극 표면에서 수산화 라디칼(-OH)과 오존(O3)의 발생량이 월등히 높아 수처리용 전극으로서의 유용성이 매우 높다. 따라서 BDD 전극을 수처리용 전극에 사용하는 경우 수산화 라디칼(-OH)과 오존(O3), 과산화수소(H2O2) 등과 같은 산화제의 생성은 물론이고, 염소(Cl2)가 포함되어 있는 전해액에서는 차아염소산(HOCl)이나 차아염소산이온(OCl-)과 같은 강력한 산화제가 발생되어 전기화학적 폐수처리, 전기화학적 정수처리, 선박평형수 처리 등의 분야에 널리 활용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상온 및 상압에서 운전이 가능하고 난분해성 오염물질 제거 효과가 뛰어난 전기화학적 고도산화공정(Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Process, EAOP)에 적합한 대면적의 BDD 전극을 개발하고 자 하였다. 이러한 BDD 전극의 성막 방법으로는 필라멘트 가열 CVD, 마이크로파 플라즈마 CVD, DC 플라즈마 CVD 등이 널리 알려져 있는데 최근에는 설비의 투자비가 비교적 저렴하고, 대면적의 기판처리가 용의한 필라멘트 가열 화학기상증착법(Hot Filament Chemical Vapor Deposition, HFCVD)이 상업적으로 각광을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 HFCVD 방법을 이용하여 반응 가스의 투입비율, BDD 박막의 두께, 기판의 재질 등에 따른 여러 가지 성막 조건들을 검토하여 $100{\times}100mm$ 이상의 대면적 BDD 전극을 개발하였다. Fig. 1은 본 연구를 통하여 얻어진 BDD 전극의 표면 및 단면 SEM이다.

Developing novel anode materials to replace the Pt anode currently used in electrolytic reduction is an important issue on pyroprocessing. In this study, the electrochemical behavior of TiN was investigated as the conductive ceramic anode which evolves O₂ gas during the reaction. The feasibility and stability of the TiN anode was examined during the electrolytic reduction of UO₂. The TiN anode could electrochemically convert UO₂ to metallic U in a LiCl–Li₂O molten salt electrolyte. No oxidation of TiN was observed during the reaction; however, the formation of voids in the bulk section appeared to limit the lifetime of the TiN anode.

In this study, we propose an immunosensor using zinc oxide nanorods (NRs) inside PDMS channel for detecting the influenza A virus subtype H7N9. ZnO with high isoelectric point (IEP, ~9.5) makes it suitable for immobilizing proteins with low IEP. In this proposed H7N9 immunosensor structure ZnO NRs were grown on the PDMS channel inner surface to immobilize H7N9 capture antibody. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method with was used 3,3',5,5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) for detecting H7N9 influenza virus. The immunosensor was evaluated by amperometry at various H7N9 influenza antigen concentrations (1 pg/ml - 1 ng/ml). The redox peak voltage and current were measured by amperometry with ZnO NWs and without ZnO NWs inside PDMS channel. The measurement results of the H7N9 immunosensor showed that oxidation peak current of TMB at 0.25 V logarithmically increased from 2.3 to 3.8 uA as the H7N9 influenza antigen concentration changed from 1 pg/ml to 1 ng/ml. And then we demonstrated that ZnO NRs inside PDMS channel can improve the sensitivity of immunosensor to compare non-ZnO NRs inside PDMS channel.

The synthesis of poly(ether)tailed bipyridine complex as redox reaction probes has advanced attempts to interpret very slow diffusion and heterogeneous electron transfer. Diffusion coefficients as low as $1.5{\times}10^{-15}cm^2/s$ have been observed for the oxidation of neat $Co(bpy(ppgm)_2)_{3^-}(ClO_4)_2$ with $LiClO_4$ electrolyte. Heterogeneous electron transfer rate constants of materials were found to vary with diffusion coefficient. The decrease in k as the diffusion coefficient decreases was actually caused by the decreasing D. Diffusion coefficient for compound of strong ion pairing anion($ClO{_4}^-$) was much smaller than the diffusion coefficient for compound of weak ion pairing anion($CF_3COO^-$).

Needle-like NiO protecting layers on NiCrAl alloy foam, used as support for hydrogen production, are introduced through electroplated Ni and subsequent microwave annealing. To improve the stability of the NiCrAl alloy foam, oxygen concentration of microwave annealing to form a needle-like NiO layer with good chemical stability and corrosion resistance is controlled in a range of 20 and 50 %. As the oxygen concentration increases to 50 %, needle-like NiO forms a dense coating layer on the NiCrAl alloy foam; this layer formation can be attributed to accelerated growth of the (200) plane. In addition, the increased oxygen concentration causes increased NiO/Ni ratio of the resultant coating layer on NiCrAl alloy foam due to improved rate of the oxidation reaction. As a result, the introduction of dense needle-like NiO layers formed at 50 % oxygen concentration improves the chemical stability of the NiCrAl alloy foam by protecting the direct electrochemical reaction between the electrolyte and the foam. Thus, needle-like NiO can be proposed as a superb protecting layer to improve the chemical stability of NiCrAl alloy form.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device continuously converting the chemical energy in a fuel and an oxidant to electrical energy by going through an essentially invariant electrode-electrolyte system. Phosphoric acid fuel cell employs concentrated phosphoric acid as an electrolyte. The cell stack in the fuel cell, which is the most important part of the fuel cell system, is made up of anode where oxidation of the fuel occurs cathode where reduction of the oxidant occurs; and electrolyte, to separate the anode and cathode and to conduct the ions between them. Fuel cell performance is associated with many parameters such as operating and design parameters associated with the system configuration. In order to understand the design concepts of the phosphoric fuel cell and predict it's performance, we have here introduced the simulation of the fuel-cell stack which is core component and modeled in a 3-dimensional grid space. The concentration of reactants and products, and the temperature distributions according to the flow rates of an oxidant are computed by the help of a computational fluid dynamic code, i.e., FLUENT.

This study examined the characteristics of the waste catalyst used in the petroleum refinery operations. The total pore volume, specific surface area, and average pore size of the spent catalyst used in the petroleum refinery operations were 3.96cc/g, 13.81m2/g, and 1.15A, respectively. The weight loss observed in the range from $25^{\circ}C-700^{\circ}C$ for the spent catalysts using TG and DTA was approximately 23 wt. %. EDS analysis of the waste catalyst sample showed that the five major components were vanadium, nickel, manganese, iron, and copper. The extraction system is attractive for liquid-liquid extraction. In this study, Cynex 272 was used to extract vanadium from waste catalyst. The electrochemical characteristics of the extracted vanadium solution were measured by cyclic voltammetry (CV). As a result, an oxidation / reduction peak appeared, indicating the potential of an electrolytic solution.

Various wastewater treatment technologies were applied for decolorization and disposal of the wastewater containing the pigments, which consist of Lake Red C(Barium) or/and Lithol Rubine(Calcium) pigments. In an application of ozonation $COD_{Mn}$ was generally decreased with an increase of amounts of ozone applied, however, the decolorization effect was not that good except for Lithol Rubine series. In an application of Fenton oxidation and electrochemical process, a good $COD_{Mn}$ removal effect for all the pigment wastewater and a slight decolorization effect for a part of Lithol Rubine series were observed. In an application of ultra filtration(UF) and reverse osmosis(RO), an excellent $COD_{Mn}$ removal and decolorization(almost 100%) effects of all the pigment wastewater were observed. Thus the water treated by the UF and RO could be reusable and thus save operating costs of the pigment manufacturing plants.
