This article covers the theoretical ac-impedance models for the analysis of oxygen reduction on the porous cathode electrode f3r solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Firstly, ac-impedance models were explained on the basis of the mechanism of oxygen reduction, which were classified into the rate-determining steps; (i) adsorption of oxygen atom on the electrode surface, (ii) diffusion of adsorbed oxygen atom along the electrode surface towards the three-phase (electrode/electrolyte/gas) boundaries, (iii) surface diffusion of adsorbed oxygen atom m ixed with the adsorption reaction of oxygen atom on the electrode surface and (iv) diffusion of oxygen vacancy through the electrode coupled with the charge transfer reaction at the electrode/gas interface. In each section for ac-impedance model, the representative impedance plots and the interpretation of important parameters attributed to the oxygen reduction reaction were explained. Finally, we discussed in detail the applications of the proposed theoretical ac-impedance models to the real electrode of SOFC system.

염수 전해 공정에서 산소음극형 가스화산전극의 적용에 대해 연구, 조사하였다. 가스확산전극은 반응층, 가스확산층, 급 전체로 구성된다. 반응층은 친수성 카본블랙, 소수성 카본블랙, PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene), 은거울반응이나 함침법에 의해 담지된 은 촉매로 제조하였다. 가스확산충은 소수성 카본블랙과 PTFE로 제조되며, 반응층 내에 사용되는 급전체는 Ni망을 사용하였다. 실험에 의하면 함침법에 의해 Ag촉매를 반응충 카본에 담지시켜 제작된 전극$(Ag\;10wt\%$,바인더 $20wt\%)$이 산소음극 과전압이 약 700mv, 전해조에 장착하여 측정한 전해전압(전해 조건이 $80^{\circ}C,\;32wt\%$ 가성소다 그리고 $300 mA/cm^2$의 전류 밀도)이 약 2.2V로 가장 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 이는 기존 공정의 전해전압 3.4V에 비해 $30\%$이상 저감된 결과이다. 또한 개발된 가스확산 전극은 염수 분해용 전해 공정에서 3개월 연속 운전이 가능하였다.

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide under high pressure on Fe electrodes and a gas diffusion electrode containing Pt catalyst (Pt-GDE) had been investigated. Formic acid was formed on Fe electrode with a faradaic efficiency of 60% at a current density of $120mA\;cm^{-2}$ under 30 atm of $CO_2$. Hydrocarbons such as $CH_4$, $C_2H_6$, $C_3H_6$, $1-C_4H_8$, and $n-C_5H_{12}$ are also formed. The distribution of hydrocarbons followed well the Schultz-Flory distribution. $CH_4$ was formed efficiently as the main reduction product on Pt-GDE.

MOS-FET structured gas sensors were manufactured using MWCNTs for application as NOx gas sensors. As the gas sensors need to be heated to facilitate desorption of the gas molecules, heat dispersion plays a key role in boosting the degree of uniformity of molecular desorption. We report the desorption of gas molecules from the sensor at $150^{\circ}C$ for different sensor electrode gaps (30, 60, and $90{\mu}m$). The COMSOL analysis program was used to verify the process of heat dispersion. For heat analysis, structure of FET gas sensor modeling was proceeded. In addition, a property value of the material was used for two-dimensional modeling. To ascertain the degree of heat dispersion by FEM, the governing equations were presented as partial differential equations. The heat analysis revealed that although a large electrode gap is advantageous for effective gas adsorption, consideration of the heat dispersion gradient indicated that the optimal electrode gap for the sensor is $60{\mu}m$.

Gas diffusion and electrolyte penetration in wetproofed gas diffusion electrodes were studied using layers of PTFE- bonded carbon. Minor variations in fabrication and testing procedures resulted in very large variations in catalyst layer wetting characteristics and permiability for reaction gas. By controlling the pore size of gas diffusion electrode carefully by varing the PTFE contents, baking temperature, baking time and ammonium bicarbonate as additive, the primary pore was decreased and the secondary pore was increased and so more reaction gas through the primary pore could be reacted at catalyst agglomertes in the secondary pore. And the cathode current density was increased to more than 400mA.$\textrm{cm}^2$ and Tafel slope value was decreased to lower than 110mA/decade.

인산형 연료전지에서 cathode 및 anode 전극의 반응 면적을 넓혀 전극성능을 향상시키고자 전극 촉매층에 가스 확산로를 도입하였다. 촉매층의 제작은 기체확산로로 이용하고자 제조된, 촉매가 담지되어 있지 않은 PTFE/carbon과 10w/o의 촉매가 담지된 Pt/carbon을 혼합 비율을 달리하면서 촉매 분말법으로 제작하였다. PTFE를 60w/o 담지한 PTFE(60 w/o)/carbon 분말과 Pt(10 w/o)/carbon분말을 7 : 3의 비율로 혼합하여 제조된 전극이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였다. 이들 조성을 변화시키면서 전극의 다공성과 전극성능을 비교 검토하여 본 결과 전극성능은 기체 확산로로 이용되는 macro pore와 전해질의 침투로 이용되는 micro pore 모두가 많이 형성됨에 따라 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이때 전극에 담지된 백금 촉매의 양은 0.2mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$이었으며 PTFE함량은 42w/o이었다. 작동온도 15$0^{\circ}C$, 단자전압 0.7 V에서 전류밀도는 220 ㎃/$\textrm{cm}^2$이었다.

IN this paper, most efforts were delivered to manufacturing PETE-bonded gas-diffusion electrode, and preparation methods of the porous electrodes has been discussd. A medio temperature, phosphoric acid fuel cell (PAFC) provided with fuel (hydrogen) and oxygen showed oxygen showed excellent performance characteristics with made electrodes. Performance data obtained from hydrgen-oxygen cell were presented to illustrate their properties. It was found that the optimum amounts of platinum in clectrode for hydrgen-oxygen PAFC were about 3mg/cm3 and the PTFE content of gas diffusion layer and catalyst layer were 25% and 15%, respectively.

The physical properties were analyzed for four gas diffusion layers, and gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) for the cathode of high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell were fabricated through bar coating with three binder to carbon (B/C) ratios. Among them, The GDE from JNT30-A6P showed a significant change in secondary pore volume at a B/C ratio of 0.31, which had the largest pore volume among all GDEs. In the polarization curve, JNT30-A6P GDE showed the best membrane electrode assembly (MEA) performance with a peak power density of 384 mW/cm² at a a B/C ratio of 0.31. From the distribution of relaxation time analysis, the peak 1 corresponding to mass transfer resistance of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was significantly reduced in the JNT30-A6P GDE. This is the result that when the binder content decreased, the volume of the secondary pore increased, and the mass transfer resistance of ORR decreased, which played an essential role in the MEA performance.

고분자전해질 연료전지 성능에서 기체확산층 압축률은 계면 접촉 저항과 전극으로의 반응물 전달 및 전극 내 수분 포화도에 영향을 주는 중요한 변수이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 상용 제품인 JNT20-A3를 이용하여 기체확산층 압축률에 대한 연료전지의 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 전극면적 25 ㎠ 단위 전지를 이용하여 상대습도 조건과 압축률에 대한 전기화학 임피던스 분광법과 분극 곡선을 측정하였다. 기체확산층을 18.6%에서 38.1%으로 압축시켰을 때 상대습도 100, 25% 조건에서 ohmic 저항이 각각 8, 30 mΩ·㎠이 감소하여 기체확산층 압축률이 증가할수록 접촉 저항이 감소하는 것과 동시에 막의 수화도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 상대습도 조건에 대한 ohmic 저항의 변화 경향을 통하여, 압축률을 증가시켰을 때 기체확산층의 기공이 감소하여 공기극에서의 물 역확산과 전해질 막의 수화도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.
