Modern electrochemical energy devices involve generation and reduction of fuel gases through electrochemical reactions of water splitting, alcohol oxidation, oxygen reduction, etc. Initially, these processes were executed in the presence of noble metal-based catalyst that showed low overpotential and high current density. However, its high cost, unavailability, corrosion and related toxicity limited its application. The search for alternative with high stability, durability, and efficiency led scientists towards carbon nanoparticles supported catalysts which has high surface area, good electrical conductivity, tunable morphology, low cost, ease of synthesis and stability. Carbon nanoparticles are classified into two groups based on morphology, one and zero dimensional particles. Carbon nanoparticles at zero dimension, denoted as carbon dots, are less used carbon support compared to other forms. However, recently carbon dots with improved electronic properties have become popular as catalyst as well as catalyst support. This review focused on the recent advances in electrocatalytic activities of carbon dots. The mechanisms of common electrocatalytic reactions and the role of the catalysts are also discussed. The review also proposed future developments and other research directions to overcome current limitations.

Kinetics and Mechanism of $N_2H_4-KBrO_3$ reaction in the presence of allyl alcohol have been studied. The pseudo-first order rate constant for gas evolution was found to be $10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-2}\;sec^{-1}\;at\;25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$, increasing with concentration of hydrogen ion. When concentrations of sulfuric acid and allyl alcohol are both sufficiently high, the following overall reaction explains experimental results reasonably well: $N_2H_4\;+\;BrO_3^-\;+\;H^+\;{\to}\;N_2\;+\;HOBr\;+\;2H_2O,\;CH_2\;=\;CHCH_2OH\;+\;HOBr\;{\to}\;CH_2-OHCHBrCH_2OH$. More complicated reaction mechanisms at lower acidity conditions have been contemplated.

니켈-텅스텐 합금은 hydrogen evolution reaction의 electrocatalytic으로 이용가능하다. 니켈-텅스텐 합금 도금은 니켈에 비해 큰 텅스텐의 원자 부피에 의해 큰 internal stress를 갖는다. 니켈-텅스텐 합금과 낮은 adhesion을 갖는 물질에 도금을 하여 외부에서 stress를 가하면 큰 표면적을 갖는 니켈-텅스텐 편상 합금을 얻을 수 있다. 도금 시간 및 외부의 stress를 이용하여 다양한 크기의 니켈-텅스텐 편상 합금 분물을 얻을 수 있었다.

Electrochemical behaviors od chromium electrodeposition from 0.05M chromium (III) sulface complexes in aqueous solutions using sodium formate-glycine mixtures as a complexing agent were studied. In the cathodic current-potential cures, it is found that the intial limiting current of Cr(III) is proportional to square root of scan rate and activiation energy from Arrhenius plot is s obtained 3.05Kcal/mol. From this results, the reaction is considered, Cr3++e longrightarrow Cr2+, which is controlled diffusion of Cr (III). It is also found that the chromium is deposited when the potential reaches to hydrogen evolution potential. Effects of NaSCN as a catalyser in the electrolyte were investigated NCS- anion seems to react strongly by specific absorption at the inner HelmholtZ layer, so that, it is considered to suppress the electrodeposition reaction reaction for chromjum, and also it is considered multipe-bridge such as Cr(III)-NCS---M(M;cathode).

화강암지역에서 산출되는 국내 지하수의 화학조성은 주로 Ca-HCO$_{3}$와 Na-HCO$_{3}$, 형에 속하며, 일부는 Ca-(C1+SO$_{4}$)또는 Na-(Cl+SO$_{4}$)형의 특성을 나타낸다. 회장암 지역의 용출수는 Ca-HCO$_{3}$ 형에, 지하수는 Na-HCO$_3$ 형에 도시된다. 빗물-화강암 반응에 대한 반응경로 모델링 결과는 초기 Ca-Cl형에서 시작하여 Ca-HCO$_{3}$을 거친 후, 최종적으로 Na-HCO$_{3}$형으로 진화하는 경향을 보인다 빗물-화장암 반응 역시 빗물-화장암 반응에서와 유사하게 진화되는 경향을 보이며, 모델링 결과는 현장자료와 잘 일치된다. 빗물-화장암/회장암 반응경로 모델링 결과, 반응이 진행됨에 따라 수소이온 활동도는 점차 감소(pH는 증가)하며, 양이온의 농도는 pH의 변화에 따른 모암을 구성하는 광물들의 순차적 용해, 2차 생성광물의 침전 및 재용해 등에 의해 다양한 농도변화를 보여준다 빗물-화강암의 반응비에 따라 깁사이트, 적철석, 망간산화물, 카오리나이트, 실리카, 녹니석, 백운모, 방해석, 로몬타이트, 프레나이트, 아날심의 순으로 침전이 발생하며, 빗물-회장암의 반응에서도 이와 동일한 침전순서를 보이지만 실리카의 침전이 없고 아날심 대신 파라고나이트가 침전된다. 빗물-화강암 반응에서는 실리카가 가장 우세한 광물이며, 밋물-회장암 반응에서는 카오리나이트가 가 장 우세한 광물이며, 전체적인 2차 생성광물의 침전량은 화강암보다 회장암 반응이 더 우세하다

This study was carried out to understand the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) by pyrophyllite (so-called Napseok)-rainwater interaction (weathering), dispersion patterns of heavy metals, and patterns of mixing with non-polluted water in the Tongnae pyrophyllite mine. Based on the mass balance and reaction path modeling, using both the geochemistry of water and occurrence of the secondary minerals (weathering products), the geochemical evolution of AMD was simulated by computer code of SOLVEQ and CHILLER. It shows that the pH of stream water is from 6.2 to 7.3 upstream of the Tongnae mine. Close to the mine, the pH decreases to 2. Despite being diluted with non-polluted tributaries, the acidity of mine drainage water maintains as far as downstream. The results of modeling of water-rock interaction show that the activity of hydrogen ion increases (pH decreases), the goncentration of ${HCO_3}^-$ decreases associated with increasing $H^+$ activity, as the reaction is processing. The concentration of ${SO_4}^{2-}$first increases minutely, but later increases rapidly as pH drops below 4.3. The concentrations of cations and heavy metals are controlled by the dissolution of reactants and re-dissolution of derived species (weathering products) according to the pH. The continuous adding of reactive minerals, namely the progressively larger degrees of water-rock interaction, causes the formation of secondary minerals in the following sequence; goethite, then Mn-oxides, then boehmite, then kaolinite, then Ca-nontronite, then Mgnontronite, and finally chalcedony. The results of reaction path modeling agree well with the field data, and offer useful information on the geochemical evolution of AMD. The results of reaction path modeling on the formation of AMD offer useful information for the estimation and the appraisal of pollution caused by water-rock interaction as geological environments. And also, the ones can be used as data for the choice of appropriate remediation technique for AMD.

Hydrogen production through proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is expeditiously receiving international attention for renewable energy sources as well as energy storage system applications due to its environmentally friendly uses. A series of $Ir_{0.2}Ru_{0.8}O_2$ $Ir_{0.5}Ru_{0.8}O_2$ & $IrO_2$ catalysts were synthesized and electrochemically evaluated by using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) technique. Furthermore, the PEMWE performances of full cells were evaluated by recording I-V Curves. The developed PEMWE stack was also operated in combination with a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) to demonstrate the discrete regenerative fuel cell (DRFC) performances. Produced hydrogen and oxygen from PEMWE were used as a fuel to operate PEMFC to establish a DRFC system.

Ni/YSZ $(Y_2O_3-stabilized\;ZrO_2)$ composite as an electrode component for High Temperature Electrolysis (HTE) was fabricated by mechanical alloying method using Ni and YSZ powders. Characterization of the synthesized composite was investigated with various analysis tools, including XRD, SEM and PSA, and a self-supporting planar unit cell prepared with the Ni/YSZ composite was prepared to study the electrochemical reactions for the production of hydrogen. The Ni/YSZ cermet is composed of crystalline Ni and YSZ, in a sub-micro scale, and has an even distribution without aggregated particles. In addition, under an electrochemical reaction, the unit cell showed an $H_2$ evolution rate from steam of 14 Nml/min and $600mA/cm^2$ of current density at the electrode.
