리튬공기전지 및 연료전지의 고용량, 고효율 특성을 달성하기 위해서는 이들 전지를 구성하는 탄소전극물질의 pore구조가 매우 중요 하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 솔루션 플라즈마라는 새로운 공정을 이용하여 micro-pore비율이 극히 적고, meso-pore 중심으로 구성되어 있는 새로운 구조체의 합성에 성공하였고, 실제 리튬공기전지를 제작하여 방전시험을 한 결과, 기존 상업용 탄소재료보다 30~40% 이상의 우수한 고용량을 나타내는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

카본 전극 페로브스카이트 태양전지의 광활성층을 형성하는데 열판, 오븐, 쾌속열처리로 방법을 달리하며 이때 광전기적 특성과 미세구조 변화를 확인하였다. Glass/FTO/compact TiO2/meso TiO2/meso ZrO2/perovskite/carbon electrode 구조의 페로브스카이트 태양전지 소자를 열판 공정, 오븐 공정, RTA(rapid thermal annealing) 공정을 이용하여 준비하였다. 이때 광전기적 특성과 미세구조를 solar simulator와 광학현미경, 장발산주사전자현미경을 이용하여 각 소자의 특성을 분석하였다. 광전기적 특성 분석 결과, RTA 공정을 이용하여 제작한 소자에서 가장 우수한 광전기적 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 미세구조 분석 결과 열판 공정과 오븐 공정으로 제작한 시편은 카본 전극 상부에 과잉 페로브스카이트 상이 형성되고, RTA 공정으로 제작한 시편에서는 시편 상부에 과잉 페로브스카이트 상 없이, 균일한 페로브스카이트가 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 단면 미세구조에서는 RTA 공정으로 제작한 소자가 다공성 카본 전극 층에 고밀도의 페로브스카이트 층을 형성하여 우수한 광전기적 특성을 나타내었다. 따라서 대면적 소자 제작의 공정시간을 고려한 새로운 열처리방안으로 RTA 방법의 채용 가능성을 확인하였다.

TUnitized reversible fuel cells (URFC) combine the functionality of a fuel cell and electrolyzer in one unitized device. For a URFC with proton exchange membrane, a titanium (Ti)-felt is applied to the gas diffusion layer (GDL) substrate at the oxygen electrode, and additionally titanium (Ti)-powders and TiN-powders are loaded in the GDL substrate as a micro porous layer (MPL). Double porous layer with TiN MPL was not acceptable for the URFC because both of fuel cell performance and electrolysis performance are degraded. The double porous layer with Ti-powder loading in the Ti-felt substrate influence rearly for the electrolysis performance. In contrast, the change of pore-size distribution brings a significant improvement of fuel cell performance under fully humidification conditions. This fact indicates that the hydrophobic meso-pores in the GDL play an important role for mass transport.

카본 블랙은 매우 낮은 밀도로 화장품에는 사용되지 않고 있지만 독성이 없고 안정한 물리적 특성과 검은색의 특성으로 이용 가치가 있다고 사료되는 바이다. 본 연구에서는 TEOS, a) PEO/ lecithin, b) PEO/polyethylene glycol, c) lecithin/polyethylene을 ethanol/water 수용액상에서 계면활성제를 탄화시켜 sol-gei반응에 의해 meso-porous silica샘플을 얻었고 N2 조건하 50$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리된 organic-inorganic hybrid silica를 합성하였다. Pore안에 카본 블랙을 함유하는 meso-porous silica는 친수성, 소수성 용매에서 모두 좋은 분산성을 보여준다. 이 샘플은 BET에 의해 specific surface area (750$m^2$/g)과 pore size (4-6 nm)이고, XRD측정으로 pore structure (cylindrical type)를, 샘플의 SEM촬영으로 morphology(0.1-0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ 입자 크기를 갖는 spherical powder)를 갖는다는 것을 알아냈다. 이렇게 합성한 카본-실리카 블랙 컬러를 마스카라에 적용하면 일반적으로 마스카라에 사용되던 블랙 컬러 사용시 보다 좀더 검은색을 보여주는 것은 물론이고 우수한 분산성도 갖는다. 무엇보다 이 파우더의 밀도 조절이 가능하여 마스카라 뿐 만 아니라 모든 화장품에의 사용이 가능하다.

MnO2 can be potentially utilized as an electrode material for redox capacitors. The deposition of MnO2 with poor electrical conductivity onto porous carbons supplies them with additional conductive paths; as a result, the capacitance of the electrical double layer formed on the porous carbon surface can be utilized together with the redox capacitance of MnO2. However, the obtained composites are not generally suitable for industrial production because they require the use of expensive porous carbons and/or inefficient fabrication methods. Thus, to develop an effective preparation procedure of the composite, a suitable structure of porous carbons must be determined. In this study, MnO2/C composites have been prepared from activated carbon gels with various pore sizes, and their electrical properties are investigated via cyclic voltammetry. In particular, mesoporous carbons with a pore size of around 20 nm form a composite with a relatively low capacitance (98 F/g-composite) and poor rate performance despite the moderate redox capacitance obtained for MnO2 (313 F/g-MnO2). On the other hand, using macro-porous carbons with a pore size of around 60 nm increases the MnO2 redox capacitance (399 F/g-MnO2) as well as the capacitance and rate performance of the entire material (203 F/g-composite). The obtained results can be used in the industrial manufacturing of MnO2/C composites for supercapacitor electrodes from the commercially available porous carbons.

Porous $TiO_2-SiO_2$ particles were synthesized by co-assembly of nanoparticles of $TiO_2$ and $SiO_2$ in evaporating aerosol droplets. Poly styrene latex (PSL) particles were employed as a template of porous particles. Flowrate of dispersion gas, weight ratio of $TiO_2/SiO_2$ and $SiO_2$ concentration in the precursor, and PSL size were chosen as process variables. The morphology, crystal structure, chemical bonding, and pore size distribution were analyzed by FE-SEM, XRD, FT-IR, BET. The morphology of porous $TiO_2-SiO_2$ particles was spherical and the average particle size range were from 1 to $10{\mu}m$. The particles were composed of meso and macro pores. The average particle diameter and pore volume of the as prepared particles were dependant on process variables. It was found that UV-Vis absorption of the porous particles was comparable with pure $TiO_2$ nanoparticles even though $TiO_2/SiO_2$ ratio is low in the porous particles.

Flame stabilization characteristics of premixed flames in narrow annular coaxial tubes (NACT) were investigated experimentally. The NACT burner was proposed as a model of a cylindrical refractory burner, and it was made of quartz tubes. Flame stabilization conditions affected by the characteristic length of the burner was investigated with the variation of the equivalence ratio and the flow rates. Flame behaviors in narrow spaces could be directly observed. Conclusively, more wide flame stabilization conditions could be obtained at the case of the decreased channel scale. A flame instability, such as combustion noise was detected concerned with the flame oscillation observed at the surface of multi channel stage. Some flame propagation characteristics had complicated tendencies that may exist in practical porous-media combustors. Therefore, this NACT burner can be a basic configuration for the development of flame stabilization model in porous media combustor, and it will enhance our understanding about the behavior of flames in meso-scale combustion spaces.

Nitrogen-doped carbons have attracted much attention due to their novel application in relation to gas storage. In this study, nitrogen-doped porous carbons were synthesized using SBA-15 as a template, polypyrrole as the carbon and nitrogen precursor, and KOH as an activating agent. The effect of the activation temperature ($600-850^{\circ}C$) on the $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of the obtained porous carbons was studied. Characterization of the resulting carbons showed that they were micro-/meso-porous carbon materials with a well-developed pore structure that varied with the activation temperature. The highest surface area of $1488m^2g^{-1}$ was achieved at an activation temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ (AC-800). The nitrogen content of the activated carbon decreased from 4.74 to 1.39 wt% with an increase in the activation temperature from 600 to $850^{\circ}C$. This shows that nitrogen is oxidized and more easily removed than carbon during the activation process, which indicates that C-N bonds are more easily ruptured at higher temperatures. Furthermore, $CO_2$ adsorption isotherms showed that AC-800 exhibited the best $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of $110mg\;g^{-1}$ at 298 K and 1 bar.

흡착제의 흡착특성인 흡착표면적과 세공크기를 수정진동자를 이용하여 측정하는 방법을 제안하고 그 성능을 조사하였다. 액체질소를 활용하는 기존의 방법에 비해 상온에서 이산화탄소를 이용하기 때문에 장치가 소형이고, 조작이 간편하며 짧은 흡착시간 내 측정이 가능한 이점을 가지고 있다. 마이크로 입자의 카본 크라오젤과 대나무 활성탄에 대해 흡착특성을 측정한 측정치를 흡착능 측정기로 측정한 측정치와 비교한 결과 메조세공의 흡착제에 대해서는 유효한 측정치가 얻어진 반면 마이크로 세공의 입자에서는 다소 큰 오차를 나타내었다.

Three-scale homogenization procedure is proposed in this paper to provide estimates of the effective thermal conductivities of porous carbon-carbon textile composites. On each scale - the level of fiber tow (micro-scale), the level of yarns (meso-scale) and the level of laminate (macro-scale) - a two step homogenization procedure based on the Mori-Tanaka averaging scheme is adopted. This involves evaluation of the effective properties first in the absence of pores. In the next step, an ellipsoidal pore is introduced into a new, generally orthotropic, matrix to make provision for the presence of crimp voids and transverse and delamination cracks resulting from the thermal transformation of a polymeric precursor into the carbon matrix. Other sources of imperfections also attributed to the manufacturing processes, including non-uniform texture of the reinforcements, are taken into consideration through the histograms of inclination angles measured along the fiber tow path together with a particular shape of the equivalent ellipsoidal inclusion proposed already in Sko ek (1998). The analysis shows that a reasonable agreement of the numerical predictions with experimental measurements can be achieved.
