Mass production of graphene-based materials, which have high specific surface area, is of importance for industrial applications. Herein, we report on a facile approach to produce thermally modified graphene oxide (TMG) in large quantities. We performed this experiment with a hot plate under environments that have relatively low temperature and no using inert gas. TMG materials showed a high specific surface area (430 $m^2g^{-1}$). Successful reduction was confirmed by elemental analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetic analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The resulting materials might be useful for various applications such as in rechargeable batteries, as hydrogen storage materials, as nano-fillers in composites, in ultracapacitors, and in chemical/bio sensors.

Recently, the gradual increase in energy acceptance is mostly satisfied by fossil fuels, but research and development of renewable energy sources are attracting attention due to fossil fuel supply and greenhouse gas problem. The disadvantage is that renewable energy can not be produced continuously. This being so, energy storage is an important technology in renewable energy. In this study, microwave was used to convert carbon receptor-carbon dioxide to gas fuel.

낮은 온도와 높은 압력에서 저분자량의 가스가 물분자들에 의해 만들어지는 격자 속으로 포집되면서 형성되는 가스하이드레이트에 대한 존재가 알려진 것은 비교적 오래 되었으나, 물과 가스에 의해 형성되어 진다는 점에서 최근 관심이 증가되고 있다. 포집되는 가스의 종류에 따라 독특한 특성을 가지고 각각의 구조 결정을 형성하는 하이드레이트는 최근 지구 온난화가스인 이산화탄소 문제와 다양한 에너지원, 특히 천연가스와 수소 에너지에 대한 연구로 크게 주목받고 있다. 따라서 본 고에서는 가스 하이드레이트 활용 분야 중에서 활발히 진행되고 있는 분야, 즉 대표적 지구온난화 가스인 이산화탄소의 심해저장과 동시에 메탄 하이드레이트 층으로부터의 천연 가스의 포집연구와 수소 저장량을 극대화시킨 수소하이드레이트에 관한 전반적인 연구동향을 소개하도록 한다.

[ $AB_5$ ] 수소저장합금인 $LaNi_5$, 합금분말에 Ni 및 Cu 무전해 도금의 영향을 전기 화학적 실험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 전기 화학적 실험은 정전류 충$\cdot$방전 실험, 순환전류전위 실험, 교류 임피던스 실험 등을 실시하여 도금하지 않은 $LaNi_5$ 전극과 Ni 및 Cu 무전해 도금한 전극간의 특성을 비교 연구하였다. 현상학적인 분석으로는 SEM을 이용하여 분말상의 미세조직을 관찰하였으며 X-선 회절시험을 실시하였다 무전해 도금을 실시하여 Ni 및 Cu박막이 피복된 수소저장 합금은 활성화 특성파 싸이클 수명 등의 특성이 개선되었으며 도금하지 않은 전극에 비하여 반응속도가 증가하였다. 또한 충$\cdot$방전이 반복됨에 따라 전극과 전해질 계면에서의 전하이동저항이 현저하게 감소하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 실시한 $LaNi_5$, 활물질에 Ni및 Cu 무전해 도금을 실시하면 초기 활성화반응을 촉진시키며 $LaNi_5$활물질이 전해질과의 직접 접촉을 피하게 되어 전극의 수명을 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Recently the Korean government announced its decision to select the $3^{rd}$ proposal, which targets reducing $CO_2$ by 37% of the BAU level by 2030, for the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC). According to this proposal, natural gas (or equivalent gas) combined cycle (NGCC) are suggested as alternatives for conventional pulverized coal (PC). In this study, we analyzed the environmental, economic, and energy mixing aspects of synthetic natural gas combined cycle(SNGCC) using NETL material (2011~2012 version) and other domestic materials (2014 version). We found the following conclusions: 1) Considering carbon capture and storage (CCS) integration, $CO_2$ emission factors of SNGCC and supercritical PC are the same. However, 60% of $CO_2$ from SNGCC is produced as high pressure and high purity (99%) gas, making it highly suitable for CCS, which is now strongly supported by the government. 2) Based on the economic analysis for SNGCC using domestic materials and comparison with NGCC, it was found that the settlement price of SNGCC was 30% lower than that of NGCC.

We manufactured the metal hydrides of $(Ti_{0.88}Mg_{0.12})H_2$ using a very easy and cheap way that Ti-12%Mg blending powder was mechanically milled with liquid milling media such as isopropyl alcohol ($C_3H_8O$, containing oxygen) and hexane ($C_6H_{14}$, no oxygen) as hydrogen source. The $(Ti_{0.88}Mg_{0.12})H_2$ synthesized in isopropyl alcohol contained the high oxygen of 11.2%, while one in hexane had the low oxygen content of 0.7%. Such a difference of oxygen content affected the dehydriding behavior, phase transformation, and microstructural evolution at high temperature, which was investigated through X-ray diffraction and DSC measurements, and electron microscope observations.

The charge-discharge characteristics of the $Mg_2Ni-x$ wt.%Nd (x = 0~3) electrodes were investigated. The electrodes were prepared by the mechanical grinding of the induction-melted $Mg_2Ni$ alloy powders with Ni and/or Nd using planetary ball mill apparatus. The discharge capacity of the $Mg_2Ni$ alloy increased with the increase in the nickel content. The electrode possessing 100 wt.% nickel powder showed the initial capacity of 760 mAh/g and the capacity decay with the cycle number was less than that of the 55 wt.% nickel powder. The Nd was added to this composition. It was found that the $Mg_2Ni-100$ wt.%Ni -0.2 wt.%Nd alloy showed an excellent charge-discharge cycle characteristics compared with the other reported Mg-Ni alloy system. The discharge capacity was 400 mAh/g after 70 cycles. Such an improved cycle life seems to be attributed to the improvement in the corrosion characteristics of the alloy. The anodic polarization curve of the $Mg_2Ni-100$ wt.%Ni-0.2 wt.%Nd alloy exhibited better passivating behavior than that of the $Mg_2Ni-100$ wt.%Ni.

Micro catalytic reactors are alternative propulsion device that can be used on a nano satellite. When used with a monopropellant, $H_2O_2$, a micro catalytic reactor needs only one supply system as the monopropellant reacts spontaneously on contact with catalyst and releases heat without external ignition, while separate supply lines for fuel and oxidizer are needed for a bipropellant rocket engine. Additionally, $H_2O_2$ is in liquid phase at room temperature, eliminating the burden of storage for gaseous fuel and carburetion of liquid fuel. In order to design a micro catalytic reactor, an appropriate catalyst material must be selected. Considering the safety concern in handling the monopropellants and reaction performance of catalyst, we selected hydrogen peroxide at volume concentration of 70% and perovskite redox catalyst of lantanium cobaltate doped with strondium. Perovskite catalysts are known to have superior reactivity in reduction-oxidation chemical processes. In particular, lantanium cobaltate has better performance in chemical reactions involving oxygen atom exchange than other perovskite materials. In the present study, a process to prepare perovskite type catalyst, $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CoO_3$, and measurement of its propellant decomposition performance in a test reactor are described.

EPDM에 카르복시산을 포함하는 아크릴 단량체인 methacrylic acid (MA)가 도입된 grafted EPDM을 합성하여 MA의 grafting ratio가 탄성체의 물성과 다른 고무와의 접착특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Grafted EPDM의 storage modulus는 특정온도까지는 sulfur로 가교한 EPDM vulcanizate보다 높게 유지되다가 온도가 더 높아지면 2차 결합력이 약해지면서 급격하게 감소되는 것이 관찰되었다. EPDM에 수소결합을 유도할 수 있는 반응기를 도입했을 때 grafted EPDM 분자들 간의 aggregate 형성과 그라프트된 MA의 결정성으로 인해 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타내었다. EPDM 자체는 극성이 낮고 다른 종류의 고무와 분자간 결합력이 약해서 접착이 제대로 이루어지지 않았으며 그라프트된 MA의 함량이 증가할수록 접착강도가 더 높아졌으며 MA의 grafting ratio가 10% 이상일 때에는 접착평가 시 고무시편이 부분적으로 파괴될 정도로 접착력이 우수하였다.
