The high rate of corrosion of magnesium alloys makes it limited for industrial applications. Therefore, surface treatment is required to enhance their corrosion resistance. In our study, a chemical conversion coating for protecting the corrosion of the magnesium alloy, AZ31B, was prepared by using a phosphate-permanganate solution. The chemical conversion coating had a limited protection ability due to defects arising from cracks and pores in the coating layer. The sol-gel coating was prepared by using trimethoxymethylsilane (MTMS) and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as precursors, and aluminum acetyl acetonate as a ring opening agent. The corrosion protection properties of sol-gel and conversion coatings in 0.35wt% NaCl solution were measured by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization test. The EIS results indicated that the resistance of the chemical conversion coating with the sol-gel coating was significantly improved through the sol-gel sealed phosphate-permanganate conversion coating. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization test revealed that the sol-gel coating decreased the corrosion current density ($I_{corr}$). The SEM image showed that the sol-gel coating sealed conversion coating and improved corrosion protection.

[ $Li_+$ ]를 기반으로 하는 비수용액 전해질에서 Prussian blue가 degradation이 없이 구동할 수 있도록 소재를 design하고 제조하여 전기화학적 변색특성을 연구하였다. Prussian blue는 ITO가 코팅되어 있는 유리판위에 일정전류-전착법으로 코팅을 했고, 이 때 사용된 코팅 용액은 $FeCl_3,\;K_3Fe(CN)_6$을 deionized water에 녹이고, HCl, KCl, LiCl을 각각 넣었다. 전기화학적 변색특성을 비교하기 위해 continuous와 pulse potential cycle 하는 동안 transmittance 변화를 in-situ He-Ne laser를 이용하여 측정하였고, electroactive layer thickness를 통해 degradation된 정도를 실험하였다.

이차 전지의 개발이 전기자동차나 스마트그리드와 같은 중대형의 에너지저장장치로 응용범위가 확대됨에 따라 이차 전지의 경제성확보가 화두가 되고 있다. 나트륨이차전지는 리튬보다 훨씬 저렴한 나트륨원료를 사용하여 저가의 차세대 이차 전지로 크게 주목받고 있다. 이에 따라 이온 반경이 큰 나트륨이온의 삽입과 탈리를 원활하게 해줄 수 있는 음극 소재의 개발이 최근 몇 년간 활발히 수행되어 왔다. 나트륨이차전지용 음극은 세 가지의 반응 메커니즘 (층간 삽입반응, 금속-합금반응, 전환반응)을 기반한 소재들이 보고되었으며, 본 총설에서는 전환반응으로 구동하는 다양한 음극 소재들을 소개하며 나트륨 전지 셀 내 반응 메커니즘을 소개하고자 한다.

A chemically sintered and binder-free paste of TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared using a binary-liquid mixture of 1-octanol and CCl₄. The 1:1 (v/v) complex of CCl₄ and 1-octanol easily interacted chemically with the TiO₂ NPs and induced the formation of a highly viscous paste. The as-prepared binary-liquid paste (P_BL)-based TiO₂ film exhibited the complete removal of the binary-liquid and residuals with the subsequent low-temperature sintering (~150℃) and UV-O₃ treatment. This facilitated the fabrication of TiO₂ photoanodes for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (f-DSSCs). For comparison purposes, pure 1-octanol-based TiO₂ paste (P_O) with moderate viscosity was prepared. The P_BL-based TiO₂ film exhibited strong adhesion and high mechanical stability with the conducting oxide coated glass and plastic substrates compared to the P_O-based film. The corresponding low-temperature sintered P_BL-based f-DSSC showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.5%, while it was 2.0% for P_O-based f-DSSC. The P_BL-based low- and high-temperature (500℃) sintered glass-based rigid DSSCs exhibited the PCE of 6.0 and 6.3%, respectively, while this value was 7.1% for a 500℃ sintered rigid DSSC based on a commercial (or conventional) paste.

[ $LiNi_{1-x}Co_xO_2\;(x=0.0,\;0.3,\;05,\;0.7,\;1.0)$ ]을 구연산법을 이용하여 합성하고, Co 치환량에 따른 결정구조와 리튬 이차전지 양극특성을 조사하였다 X-선 회절분석 결과로부터 Co치환량에 무관하게 모든 조성에서 단일상의 고용체를 형성함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Rietveld 구조정산을 통하여 고용체의 결정구조가 Co 치환량에 따라 크게 변화함을 확인하였다. 즉, Co치환량이 적은 경우는 (x=0-0.5)는 격자상수의 비가 작은(c/a<4.98) 입방구조에 가까웠으며, Co치환량이 큰 경우(x^gt;0.7)는 격자상수의 비가 큰$(c/a\geq4.98)$ 층상구조를 보였다. 이와 같은 차이는 electrochemical voltage spectroscopy를 통하여 확인할 수 있었는데, 고용체를 형성하고 있는 Co성분은 Co치환량이 적을 경우는 $3.7V\;(vs.\;Li/Li^+)$, 그리고 치환량이 클 경우는 $3.92V\;(vs.\;Li/Li^+)$에서 충전되는 현상을 보였다.

With the growing interest in energy storage and conversion systems including secondary batteries, capacitors, and water electrolysis, various electrode materials are being developed to improve the energy efficiency. Among them, graphene is regarded as one of the promising candidates owing to its exceptional properties - large surface area, and excellent electrical conductivity. Herein, we report a facile one-step electrochemical approach to synthesize exfoliated graphene/Fe oxide compound. The effect of experimental conditions - the types of applied voltage, kinds of counter electrodes, acidity of electrolyte on the synthesis of graphene/Fe oxide compound is investigated.

To investigate the scattering layer effect of a $TiO_2$ multilayer in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we designed a new DSSC system, assembled with a CdS-$TiO_2$ scattering layer electrode. A high-magnification SEM image exhibited hollyhock-like particles with a width of 1.5-2.0 ${\mu}m$ that were aggregated into 10-nm clumps in a hexagonal petal shape. The efficiency was higher in the DSSC assembled with a CdS-$TiO_2$ scattering layer than in the DSSC assembled with $TiO_2$-only layers, due to the decreased resistance in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) was increased by approximately 7.26% and the open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) by 2.44% over the 1.0 wt % CdS-$TiO_2$ composite scattering layer and the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) in the maximum peak was also enhanced by about 5.0%, compared to the DSSC assembled without the CdS-$TiO_2$scattering layer.

The $TiO_2$ Pastes was prepared with the starting materials of $TiO_2$ (P-25), ethyl cellulose, a-terpineol and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and this $TiO_2$ paste application for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were investigated. In order to improved transparency of $TiO_2$ photoanode films, $TiO_2$ paste was changed ethyl cellulose and a-terpineol contents. The morphology of prepared $TiO_2$ films were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The electrochemical properties of the thin films and the performance of DSSCs were measured by photovoltaic-current density and AC impedance. Energy conversion efficiency was obtained about 5.7% at ethyl cellulose and a-terpineol on best mixed ratio under illumination with AM 1.5 ($100mWcm^{-2}$)simulated sunlight.
