기질 고분자인 sulfonated PEEK (sPEEK)와 가교제(cross-linking reagent) 4,4'-ethyldianiline (EdAn), 그래프트제(grafting reagent) 2-phenylethylamine (PEA)을 용매 dimethylacetamide (DMAc)에 녹여 용매증발법을 이용하여 제막하였다. 이민화 반응(imination)과 술폰화(sulfonation) 과정을 거쳐 최종 이온교환막인 cross-linked and grafted sPEEK (CG-sPEEK)막을 제조하였다. FT-IR 분석을 통해 술폰화 및 이민화 반응여부를 확인할 수 있었다. Proton conductivity와 water uptake, volume change를 측정하여 상용화된 Nafion115와 비교함으로써 이온교환막으로서의 활용가능성을 평가하였다. 제조된 CG-sPEEK막의 proton conductivity (0.17 S/cm) 값이 Nafion115 (0.10 S/cm) 보다 우수하게 나타나 이온교환막으로서의 적용가능성을 보여주었다. 다만 높은 water uptake (130%)는 CG-sPEEK의 치수안정성을 위해서 저감시킬 필요가 있다.

Enzymatic fuel cells are promising low cost, compact and flexible energy resources. The basis of enzymatic fuel cells is transfer of electron from enzyme to the electrode surface and vice versa. Electron transfer is done either by direct or mediated electron transfer (DET/MET), each one having its own advantages and disadvantages. In this study, the DET and MET of laccase-based biocathodes are compared with each other. The DET of laccase enzyme has been studied using two methods; assemble of needle-like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the electrode, and CNTs/Nafion polymer. MET of laccase enzyme also is done by use of ceramic electrode containing, ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis [3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid]) /sol-gel. Cyclic voltammetric results of DET showed a pair of well-defined redox peaks at $200{\mu}A$ and $170{\mu}A$ in a solution containing 5and $10{\mu}M$ o-dianisidine as a substrate for needle-like assembled CNTs and CNTs-Nafion composite respectively. In MET method using sol-gel/ABTS, the maximum redox peak was $14{\mu}A$ in the presence of 15 M solution o-dianisidine as substrate. The cyclic voltammetric results showed that laccase immobilization on needle-like assembled CNTs or CNTs-Nafion is more efficient than the sol-gel/ABTS electrode. Therefore, the expressed methods can be used to fabricate biocathode of biofuel cells or laccase based biosensors.

레독스-흐름 2차전지는 발전소의 잉여 전력, 태양전지 및 전기자동차 등 응용 분야가 넓은 유망한 에너지 저장 방법의 하나이다. 활성물질로소 바나듐-황산 수용액을 이용하는 전바나듐 레독스-흐름 전지에서 효율적인 이온 선택 성막의 개발은 아직도 문제점으로 남아 있다. 전바나듐 레독스-흐름 전지용 격막으로서 기초막에 UV를 조사하면서 30분간 chlorosulfonation 시킨 비대칭 양이온 교환막(M-30)이 운반율 0.94 막저항 $0.5{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$로 가장 좋았다. 기초막은 pololefin막(HIPORE 1200)에 $10{\mu}m$두께의 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 막을 접착시켜 제조되었다. 실제 바나듐-황산 수용액에서의 막저항도 $3.79{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$로 Nafion 117막과 비슷하였고, 셀저항율도 $6.6{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$로 Nafion 117막보다 낮았다. 막의 전기화학적 물성치와 가격 등을 고려할 때 전바나듐 레독스-흐름 전지의 격막으로서 M-30막이 Nafion 117막과 Asahi초자의 CMV막보다 우수하였다.

A composite film of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/sol-gel-derived zinc oxide(ZnO)/Nafion has been utilized as an efficient immobilization matrix for the construction of a highly sensitive and stable tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) (Ru(${bpy)_3}^{2+})$ electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. The electrochemical and ECL behaviors of Ru(${bpy)_3}^{2+})$ ion-exchanged into the composite film were strongly dependent upon the sol-gel preparation condition, the amount of MWCNT incorporated into the ZnO/Nafion composite film, and the buffer solution pH. The synergistic effect of MWCNTs and ZnO in the composite films increased not only the sensitivity but also the long-term stability of the ECL sensor. The present ECL sensor based on the MWCNT/ZnO/Nafion gave a linear response ($R^2$ = 0.999) for tripropylamine concentration from 500 nM to 1.0 mM with a remarkable detection limit (S/N = 3) of 15 nM. The present ECL sensor showed outstanding long-term stability (94% initial signal retained for 5 weeks). Since the present ECL sensor exhibits large response towards NADH, it could be applied as a transduction platform for the ECL biosensor in which the NADH is produced from the dehydrogenase-based enzymatic reaction in the presence of NA$D^+$ cofactor.

부드럽지만 큰 변위를 발생시키는 생체모방 액츄에이터는 관심의 대상이 되어왔다. 특히, 듀폰사의 나피온 고분자는 작은 전기장하에서도 큰 변위를 나타내었다. 전기기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 탄소나노튜브/고분자 나노복합체를 제조하였다. 다중 탄소나노튜브/나피온 나노복합체를 캐스팅법으로 제조하고 탄소나노튜브 첨가량에$(0{\sim}7wt%)$ 따른 나노복합체의 전기기계적 특성을 조사하였다. 탄소나노튜브가 첨가된 나노복합체는 탄소나노튜브가 없는 고분자 액츄에이터와 비교하여 우수한 탄성계수와 응력이 관찰되었다. 다중 탄소나노튜브의 첨가는 고기능성 생체모방 액츄에이터 특성을 증진시키는데 효과적이었다.

팽창흑연과 탄소나노튜브를 이용한 복합 산화전극을 나피온용액에 다양한 비율로 에폭시를 혼합한 결합제를 이용하여 제작하였으며, 산화전극 결합제에 함유된 에폭시량이 미생물연료전지의 성능에 미치는 영향을 회분식 실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 산화전극 결합제에 에폭시의 함량이 증가함에 따라 산화전극 구성 물질들의 물리적 부착력은 점차 증가하였으나, 활성화저항과 오옴저항의 증가로 인한 내부저항이 증가하였다. 산화전극 결합제로 에폭시를 혼합하지 않고 나피온용액 만을 사용한 대조구의 경우 $1,892mW/m^2$에 달하였으나 산화전극 결합제에 에폭시 함량이 증가함에 따라 미생물연료전지의 최대전력밀도는 점차 감소하였다. 산화전극 결합제에 에폭시함량이 50%일 때 최대전력밀도는 $1,425mW/m^2$로서 대조구의 75.3%까지 감소하였으나, 고가의 나피온용액 사용량을 감소시키고 산화전극 결합제의 물리적 부착력을 높일 수 있다는 측면에서 고려할 때 나피온용액과 에폭시를 같은 비율로 혼합한 물질은 산화전극결합제로서의 좋은 대안이 될 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using nafion-coated glassy carbon electrodes modified with Tetren(tetraethylene pentamine)-glycerol showed sensitivity for determining lead (II) at low concentration. The Lead (II) was accumulated on the electrode surface by the formation of the complex in an open circuit, and the resulting surface was characterized by medium exchange, electrochemical reduction, and differential pulse voltammetry. Various experimental parameters, such as the composition of modifier, preconcentration time, pH of electrolyte (0.1 M acetate buffer), and parameters of differential pulse voltammetry, were optimized. The initial potential was applied for 50 s, the electrode was scanned from -0.9 to -0.3 V, and the anodic peak current was measured at -0.604 V $\pm$ 0.015 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). The calibration plot was obtained in the range 1.0$\times$10$^{-8}$ M~l.0$\times$10$^{-6}$ M with pH 4.5 buffer solution. The detection limit (3$\sigma$) it as low as 5.0$\times$ 10$^{-9}$ M. This method is applied to the determination of lead(II) in a certified reference material and the result agrees satisfactorily with the certified value.

For conventional electrical actuators, the materials are mainly made up of metals, which mean they are prone to corrosion and electrical sparking. Replacing these systems with polymer metal composite based materials can be solved both problems. Considering their excellent electromechanical property, low device fabrication cost, light weight, and good electrical conductivity, the actuator based on ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) was fabricated using Nafion film, NaOH 0.1 molar solution, and Au electrode. IPMCs exhibit good electrostatic property which means they can in principle be used in making actuators based on electromechanical motions. The resistance measurements of Nafion film after soaking in NaOH and deionized water were demonstrated and compared each other. The result of sample soaked in NaOH showed better electrical conductivity than in deionized water. The fabricated IPMC actuator exhibits a large deformation of bending displacement of approximately 9 mm with applied low AC voltage 6.89 V at 2.84 Hz. The result of computer simulation was also very similar and shown as a bending displacement of 8.6085 mm.

Nanowires of polytetrakis(o-aminophenyl)porphyrin (PTAPPNW) were fabricated by electrochemical polymerization with the cyclic voltammetric method in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes. The glassy carbon electrode (GCE) modified by PTAPPNW, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) and Nafion as a binder was investigated with voltammetric methods in a phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution at pH 7.4. The PTAPPNW + SWNT + Nafion/GCE exhibited strongly enhanced voltammetric and amperometric sensitivity towards hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), which shortened the response time and enhanced the sensitivity for $H_2O_2$ determination at an applied potential of 0.0 V by amperometric method. The PTAPPNW + SWNT + Nafion/GCE can be used to monitor $H_2O_2$ at very low concentrations in biological pH as an efficient electrochemical $H_2O_2$ sensor.

Chemical durability issue in polymer electrolyte membranes has been a challenge for the commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this study, we proposed a manufacturing method of Nafion composite membrane containing a stable polyimide antioxidant to improve the chemical durability of the membrane. The thermal casting of the Nafion solution with poly (amic acid) induced polyimide reaction. We evaluated proton conductivity, oxidative stability with ex-situ Fenton's test, and fluoride ion emission to analyze the effect of polyimide antioxidants. We confirmed that incorporating the polyimide antioxidant improves the chemical durability of the Nafion membrane while maintaining inherent proton conductivity.
