본 연구에서는 최근, 전기자동차 및 소형 레저용 선박을 중심으로 연구가 진행 중인, 대용량 이차전지의 용량 증대를 위하여 필요한 내부 전극 접합 기술에 관하여 연구하였다. 종래의 초음파 용접으로 적층할 수 있는 적층량의 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 전극 소재에 직접 가열을 통한 용접 방법이 아닌 용가제 금속을 적용하여 전극을 접합시켜, 통전성과 인장강도를 증대시킴과 동시에 열적요인으로 인한 전극표면에 화학적 활성물질의 변성을 최소화할 수 있는 저온 접합 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 부연하여 용접을 위하여 무리하게 출력을 상승시킬 경우 용접열의 영향으로 전극의 변형 및 활성물질의 변성을 야기함과 동시에 최종 페키징 이후 출력저하, 발열 등, 배터리의 안정성을 저하시키는 요인으로 작용한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고주파 유도가열을 통한 유도 가열 방식의 접합 방법과 용융 도금을 통한 용가제 금속의 전처리를 통한 종래와는 차별화된 전극접합 방법을 소개한다.

Carbon nanotubes(CNT) were synthesized by arc-discharge method. To fabricate CNT sensor, CNT powder was dispersed in $\alpha$-Terpinol($C_{10}$ $H_{17}$OH) solution. The CNT films were fabricated by screen printing on the interdigitated Pt/Pd alloy electrode. The microstructure of CNT film were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In order to investigate the gas sensing characteristics of the film, the CNT film was experimented to measure NH$_3$ response and recovery time. And this sensor shows better reproductibility and faster recovery time than another CNT sensors. We suggest the possibility to utilize a CNT as new sensing materials for environmental monitoring.

Electrical breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen(LNd used as both coolant and insulator for high $T_c$ superconductor system is very important. This paper presents dynamic breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen by quench penomena of thermal bubble under high electric field. As the result, the breakdown mechanism of $LN_2$ depends on thermal bubble effect. The breakdown voltage decreases slightly with increasing heating. In the Electrode arrangement, electrical breakdown voltage of horizontal arrangement appears lower than that of vertical arrangement.

In AC electrowetting, it has been reported that there is a flow inside droplets. The flow characteristics such as flow rate, direction and the pattern of streamline are altered according to the frequency range of applied voltage. However, the mechanism of the flow has not been explained yet. This work is concentrated on investigation of the flow mechanism when high-frequency voltage is applied to droplets. We propose that this phenomenon arises from the electro-thermal flow. A numerical analysis is performed for the needle-electrode-plane geometry in which the Coulombic force term is included in the Navier-Stokes equation. According to our analysis, electrical charge is generated due to conductivity gradient which is originated from the nonuniform Joule heating of fluid medium. The result of the analysis is compared with experimental result.

In this paper, the analysis of the arc-flow in the GCB is presented by using the modified FLIC method and the arc model. The modified FLIC method adopts the upwind scheme and requires short calculation time. The arc model used in this paper treats the arc as a energy source in the energy equation. The energy source is composed of the ohmic heating and the radiation energy transfer. At each step, the movement of electrode is simulated. From the simulation, reasonable results can be obtained.

In this paper, we showed the erosion characteristic of MgO protector layer releated to lifetime of plasma display panel(PDP). We observed MgO erosion characteristic as a functions of deposition conditions, pressure and distance between electrodes. In RIE condition of Xe gas, the lowest erosion rate appears in the conditions of no heating bias voltage -30V and pressure 5mtorr. In general, as deposition rate increases, erosion rate decreases. In real panel, when the gap distance between electrodes is narrow and the pressure is low, the heavy plasma damage appears. Also, the surfaces between electrodes and on the bus electrode are extremely damaged.

Partially magnetized capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) sources are investigated using a two-dimensional kinetic simulation code named EDIPIC-2D. A converging numerical solution was obtained for CCP with a 60 MHz power source, while properly capturing the dynamics of electrons and power absorption over a single RF period. The effects of magnetic fields with different orientations were evaluated. Axial magnetic fields caused changes in the spatial distribution of plasma density, affecting the loss channel. Transverse magnetic fields enhanced stochastic heating near the powered electrode, leading to an increase in plasma density while the significant E×B drift loss compensated for this rise.

In this study, new preparation method of LiCoO$_{2}$ was applied to develop cathode active material for Li rechargeable cell, and followed by X-ray diffraction analysis, electrochemical properties and initial charge/discharge characteristics as function of current density. HC8A72- and CC9A24-LiCoO$_{2}$ were prepared by heating treatment of the mixture of LiOH H$_{2}$O/CoCO$_{3}$(1:1 mole ratio) and the mixture of Li$_{2}$CO$_{3}$/CoCO$_{3}$(1:2 mole ratio) at 850 and 900.deg. C, respectively. Two prepared LiCoO$_{2}$s were identified as same structure by X-ray diffraction analysis. a and c lattice constant were 2.816.angs. and 14.046.angs., respectively. The electrochemical potential of CFM-LiCoO$_{2}$(Cyprus Foote Mineral Co.'s product), HC8A72-LiCoO$_{2}$ and CC9A24 LiCoO$_{2}$ electrode were approximately between 3.32V and 3.42V vs. Li/Li reference electrode. Stable cycling behavior was obtained during the cyclic voltammetry of LiCoO$_{2}$ electrode. According as scan rate increases, cathodic capacity decreases, but redox coulombic efficiency was about 100% at potential range between 3.6V and 4.2V vs. Li/Li reference electrode. Cathodic capacity of HC8A72-LiCoO$_{2}$ was 32% higher than that of CFM-LiCoO$_{2}$ and that of CC9A24-LiCoO$_{2}$ was 47% lower than that of CFM-LiCoO$_{2}$ at 130th cycle in the condition of lmV/sec scan rate. Constant cur-rent charge/discharge characteristics of LiCoO$_{2}$/Li cell showed increasing Ah efficiency with initial charge/discharge cycle. Specific discharge capacities of CFM and HC8A72-LiCoO$_{2}$ cathode active materials were about 93mAh/g correspondent to 34% of theretical value, 110mAh/g correspondent to 40% of theretical value, respectively. In the view of reversibility, HC8A72-LiCoO$_{2}$ was also more excellent than CFM- and CC9A24-LiCoO$_{2}$.

Nanosized Pt, Pt-Ru and Pt-$CeO_2$ electrocatalysts supported on acid-treated carbon nanotube (CNT) were synthesized by microwave-assisted heating of polyol process using $H_2Cl_6Pt{\cdot}6H_2O$, $RuCl_3$, $CeCl_3$ precursors, respectively, and were characterized by XRD and TEM. And then the electrochemical activity of methanol oxidation for catalyst/CNT nanocomposite electrodes was investigated. The microwave assisted polyol process produced the nano-sized crystalline catalysts particles on CNT. The size of Pt supported on CNT was 7~12 nm but it decreased to 3~5 nm in which 10wt% sodium acetate was added as a stabilizer during the polyol process. This fine Pt catalyst particles resulted in a higher current density for Pt/CNT electrode. It was also found that 10 nm size of PtRu alloys were formed by polyol process and the onset potential decreased with Ru addition. Cyclic voltammetry analysis revealed that the $Pt_{75}Ru_{25}/CNT$ electrode had the highest electrochemical activity owing to a higher ratio of the forward to reverse anodic peak current. And the chronoamperemetry test showed that $Pt_{75}Ru_{25}$ catalyst had a good catalyst stability. The activity of Pt was also found to be improved with the addition of $CeO_2$.

A tunable wavelength filter was proposed and demonstrated by using the UV nanoimprint technique. It consists of a Bragg grating in polymer waveguides and a heating electrode. The manufacturing of the grating was substantially simplified with the introduction of a smart imprint stamp containing a waveguide pattern integrated with the grating pattern. The center wavelength of the filter was successfully tuned by taking advantage of the thermooptic effect in polymers, which was induced by supplying electrical power to the electrode. For the fabricated device, a transmission dip of ${\~}$15 dB and a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.8 nm were obtained at the Bragg wavelength of ${\~}$l560 nm. The achieved thermooptic tuning efficiency was ${\~}$0.28 nm/mW, while the center wavelength was shifted from 1560 nm to 1558 nm with the electrical power consumption of 7 mW.
