This paper dealt with the manufacturing of binary alloy catalyst and showed simple electrochemical method for determing catalytic activity of oxygen reduction in acid or alkaline electrolyte. The catalyst was prepared by impregnating transition metal salts on platinum or silver particles adsorbed before on carbon paper substrate. The electrochemical characteristics of the catalysts was investigated with carbon paper electrode or PTFE-boned porous electrode and then cathodic current densities and tafel slopes were compared. As a result, of all binary catalysts utilized in this work, Pt-Fe, Pt-Mo showed better oxygen reduction activity than pure platinum catalyst in acid electrolyte and Ag-Fe, Ag-Pt, and Ag-Ni-Bi-Ti catalyst did than pure silver catalyst in alkaline electrolyte. The current density of Pt-Fe electrode in acid electrolyte was one and half times higher than that of Pt electrode(~500mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.7VvsNHE).

An experimental study of mass transfer to an amalgamated copper rotating disc electrode has been employed to determine an empirical correlation for the mass transfer rate in laminar flow. The study was performed in a three-electrodes configuration using 0.1 M boric acid and 0.1M potassium chloride as supporting electrolyte with Zn (II) concentration in the range (25-100 mg $dm^{-3}$). Polarization curves at different zinc ion concentration are reported. Hydrogen and oxygen reduction has also been considered.The diffusion coefficients and mass transfer coefficient were obtained using limiting diffusion current technique based on zinc ion reduction. A least squares analysis indicates that the laminar flow results for 13067 < Re > 57552 and 550 < Sc > 1390 can be correlated by the following equation with correlation coefficient (CR) equal to 0.98: $sh=0.61Re^{0.5}Sc^{1/3}$.

The electrodeposition of indium onto a copper electrode from an aqueous sulfate solution containing $In^{3+}$ was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Reduction and oxidation of indium on copper were investigated by using cyclic voltammograms at different negative limiting potentials and at different scan rates in cumulative cycles. Cyclic voltammograms indicated that reduction and oxidation processes of indium could involve various reactions. Chronoamperometry was carried out to analyze the nucleation mechanism of indium in the early stage of indium electrodeposition. The non-dimensional plot of the current transients at different potentials showed that the shape of the plot depended on the applied potential. The nucleation of indium at potential step of -0.6~-0.8 V was close to progressive nucleation limited by diffusion. However the non-dimensional plot of current transients for the indium nucleation showed different behaviors from theoretical curves at the potential step lower than -0.8 V.

The use of nanoscale electrocatalysts is a promising strategy for achieving high catalyst activity due to their large surface area. However, catalyst activity is not directly correlated to particle size. To understand this discrepancy, many studies have been conducted, but a full understanding has still not been achieved, despite the importance of particle size effects in designing an active catalyst. In this review, we focus on the discussion of particle size effects on the oxygen reduction reaction, and also discussed the nanoscale design beyond the nanoparticle to the meso and macroscale design.

For the commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), some serious problems such as the decrease of platinum use as catalysts and a larger overpotential of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at cathode must be solved. In this study, 20%Pt/C and 20%PtCo/C catalysts for the cathode of PEMFC were synthesized from the chemical reduction method and evaluated using an electrochemical measurement. The ORR activity of synthesized 20%Pt/C and 20%PtCo/C had higher than that of the 20%Pt/C on the market. The synthesized 20%PtCo/C with the cobalt concentration (Pt:Co atomic ratio) from 5 to 20% showed the highest ORR activity.

The pH-dependent reduction behavior of N-monosubstituted-4,4'-bipyridinium ions ($RBPY^+: R=methyl(C_1)$; benzyl; n-octyl; n-dodecyl) has been investigated by electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical techniques. At acidic condition, $RBPY^+$ is protonated and the protonated species are reduced by two consecutive one-electron processes. The $2e^-$ reduced species undergoes a chemical reaction with $H^+$. The second-order rate constant $(k_H)$ of the homogeneous chemical process is $(3.7{\pm}0.3){\times}10^3M^{-1}s^{-1}$ for the two electron reduction product of $C_1BPY^+$. At high pH, the electrode reduction of $RBPY^+$ is one-step $2e^-$ transfer process with concomitant addition of $H^+$, which is confirmed by cyclic voltammetric study using a microdisk electrode.

In this paper, cobalt embedded in nitrogen and sulfur co-doped carbon nanotubes (CoNSTs) were synthesized for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts. The CoNSTs were prepared through a facile heat treatment method without any templates. Different amounts of the metal salt were employed to examine the physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the CoNSTs. The CoNSTs showed the bamboo-like tube morphology with the encased Co nanoparticles in the tubes. Through the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the catalysts exhibited different chemical states of the nitrogen and sulfur species. As a result, the CoNST performed high activity toward the ORR in an acidic condition with the onset potential of 0.863 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode). It was clearly demonstrated from the electrochemical characterizations that the quality of the nitrogen and sulfur species significantly influences the ORR activity rather than the total amount of the dopants.

여러 가지 온도와 습도에 따라 Sn의 표면에 형성되는 산화물을 전기화학적 환원방법을 이용해 분석하였다. 전기화학적 방법을 이용하여 금속표면에 형성된 산화물을 환원시킬 때 나타나는 환원전위와 소모된 전하량을 측정하여 표면 산화물의 종류와 양을 정량적으로 분석하였다 우선 전기화학적 환원 방법이 금속 표면 산화물의 분석에 적합한지 알아보기 위해 여러 가지 산화물 분말의 환원 전위와 수소 발생 전위를 측정하였고, 분석을 위한 최적의 전류밀도 값을 구하였다. Sn 표면에 생성된 산화물을 분석한 결과 $85^{\circ}C$의 건조한 환경에서 보다 T/H (Temperature/Humidity, $85^{\circ}C$/$85\%$상대습도)조건에서 SnO가 더 빠르게 성장하였다. 또한 T/H 조건에서 하루가 지난 이후부터는 Sn의 표면 최상층에 매우 얇은 (<10 ${\AA}$) $SnO_2$ 가 형성되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. $150^{\circ}C$에서는 SnO와 $SnO_2$가 같이 존재하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 XPS와 AES 표면분석을 통하여 환원 실험 결과를 뒷받침하였다.

본 연구에서는 고밀집 glassy carbon (GC) 섬유 다발체 전극 전해계를 사용하여 우라늄 (VI)를 함유한 유기상과 질산 수용상의 혼합상에서 전해 역추출시 우라늄 (VI) 환원 전해특성 연구가 수행되었고, 이에 관한 전해 역추출 모델을 제시하였다 우라늄 (VI) 전해환원 반응은 혼합상 내의 수용상에서 보다 혼합상 내의 유기상에서 빨리 일어났다. 유기상의 유속이 증가하는 경우 역추출 과정에서 유기상 내 우라늄 이온의 확산 저항 증가에 의해서 수용상으로의 역추출은 증가하다 일정하게 되었으며, 수용상 유속 변화는 총 우라늄 (VI) 환원전류에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 전해반응이 없는 경우보다 전해 반응이 동반되는 경우 우라늄 역추출이 보다 효과적으로 이루어 짐을 알 수 있었다.

1-Benzyl-4-iodomethyl-2-azetidinone(BIMA)을 합성하여 iodomethyl기에 대한 전기화학적 환원을 direct current, differential pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry 그리고 controlled potential coulometry 방법으로 연구하였다. BIMA의 환원과정은 1단계(-1.35 volts vs. Ag-AgCl)에서 완전비가역과 2전자이동후에 양성자가 첨가되는 EEC 반응기구로 진행되었으며 1-benzyl-4-methyl-2-azetidinone이 생성되었다. 양이온 계면활성제(cetyltrimethylammonium bromide)의 농도가 진하여질수록 양전위 이동이 있었으나 음이온 계면활성제(sodium lauryl sulfate)의 경우에는 2단계로 세분화되는 현상이 나타났다. pH변화에 따른 전극환원과정과 생성물 분석의 결과를 바탕으로 전기화학적 반응기구를 제안하였다.
