With the increasing attention to environmental pollution caused by particulate matter globally, the automotive industry has also become increasingly interested in particulate matter, especially particulate matter generated by automobile brake systems. Here, we designed a coating composition and analyzed its mechanical properties to reduce particulate matter generated by brake systems during braking of vehicles. We designed a composition to check the mechanical properties change by adding Cr₃C₂ and YSZ to the WC-Ni-Cr composite composition. Based on the designed composition, coating samples were manufactured, and the coating properties were analyzed by Vickers hardness and ball-on-disk tests. As a result of the experiments, we found that the hardness and friction coefficient of the coating increased as the amount of Cr₃C₂ added decreased. Furthermore, we found that the hardness of the coating layer decreased when YSZ was added at 20vol%, but the friction coefficient was higher than the composition with Cr₃C₂ addition.

A new kind of oxygen carrier material is tested for chemical-looping combustion. NiO, CoO, $Fe_2O_3$ is chosen as metal oxide and YSZ as a binder. Hydrogen fuel is reacted with metal oxide (reduction of metal oxide) and then the reduced metal is successively oxidized by air. Dissolution method is examined to prepare the oxygen carriers. The effects of reaction temperature are measured by a TGA, mechanical strength and regenerability after 10 cycle are examined. $Fe_2O_3/YSZ$ oxygen carrier is bested in mechanical strength and we consider that NiO/YSZ after 3rd cycle are good oxygen carrier in according to reactor design.

Performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), in comparison with that under hydrogen fuel, were investigated under direct internal reforming conditions. Anode supported cells were fabricated with an Ni+YSZ anode, YSZ electrolyte, and LSM+YSZ cathode for the present work. Measurements of I-V curves and impedance were conducted with S/C (steam to carbon) ratio of ~ 2 at $800^{\circ}C$. The outlet gas was analyzed using gas chromatography under open circuit condition; the methane conversion rate was calculated and found to be ~ 90% in the case of low flow rate of methane and steam. Power density values were comparable for both cases (hydrogen fuel and internal steam reforming of methane), and in the latter case the cell performance was improved, with a decrease in the flow rate of methane with steam, because of the higher conversion rate. The present work indicates that the short-term performance of SOFCs with conventional Ni+YSZ anodes, in comparison with that under hydrogen fuel, is acceptable under internal reforming condition with the optimized fuel flow rate and S/C ratio.

A layered planer SOFC module was designed from planar-type SOFC. It was prepared by multi-layered ceramic technology. To form the cathode and the anode in the layered structure, reliable channels should be made on the both side of electrolyte perpendicularly. However, monolithic SOFC using multi-layered ceramic technology hasn't been studied another group, and the warpage of electrolyte in the channel, also, hasn't been studied, when electrode is printed on the electrolyte. In this study, the channels are prepared with electrode printing, and their warpage are evaluated. In the case of YSZ without electrode, the warpages are nothing in the limit of measurement using optical microscope. The warpage of 'YSZ-NiO printed' increases than that of 'NiO printed', and also, the case of 'double electrode printed' is similar to 'YSZ-NiO printed'. It is thought that, in the printed electrolyte, the warpage is related to the difference of the sintering behavior of each material.

Thermal properties of a SiO₂-B₂O₃-BaO ternary glass system depending on compositional change of BaO have been examined to find a proper sealing material for reversible oxide cells. Glass transition temperature and thermal expansion coefficients increased simultaneously up to 55 mol% of BaO content. The structural role of BaO with regard to the thermal properties has been discussed on the basis of Raman spectroscopy results. Flowability of the glass at sealing temperature has been examined with packed glass powders of 12 mm diameter along with a high temperature optical microscope. The practical sealing property of the glass was also examined with YSZ coated with NiO-yittria stabilized zirconia (NiO-YSZ) and it showed good adhesion without noticeable reaction with NiO-YSZ layer.

The detailed conditions of dc-sputtering for depositions of yttria-stabilized ZrO$_2$ (YSZ) films were investigated, while the films were grown on the CeO$_2$ template layers on biaxially textured Ni-tapes. The window of oxygen pressures for proper growth of YSZ films, which was dependent on sputtering powers, was determined by sufficient oxidations of the YSZ films and the de-oxidation of the target surface, which was required for rapid sputtering. The window turned out to be fairly wide under certain values of argon pressure. When the sputtering power was raised, the deposition rate increased without narrowing the window. The fabricated YSZ films showed good texture qualities and surface morphologies.

Three group samples with difference thickness of $CeO_2$ capping layer deposited by PLD were studied. Among them, one group $CeO_2$ films were deposited on stainless steel tape coated with IBAD- YSZ and $CeO_2$ buffer layer ($CeO_2$/IBAD-YSZ/SS); other two groups of $CeO_2 YSZ Y_2O_3$multi-layer were deposited on NiW substrates for fabrication of YBCO coated conductor through RABiTS approach. The pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and DC magnetron sputtering were employed to deposit these buffer layers. On the top of buffer layer, YBCO film was deposited by PLD. The effect of thickness of $CeO_2$ film on the texture of $CeO_2$ film and critical current density ($J_c$) of YBCO film were analyzed. For the case $CeO_2$ on $CeO_2$/IBAD-YSZ/SS, there was a self-epitaxy effect with the increase of $CeO_2$ film. For $YSZ/Y_2O_3$ NiW which was deposited by PLD or DC magnetron sputtering, there is not self-epitaxy effect. However, the capping layer of $CeO_2$ film deposited by PLD improved the quality of buffer layer for $YSZ/Y_2O_3$ which was deposited by DC magnetron sputtering, therefore increased the $J_c$ of YBCO film.

초전도 coated conductor는 보호층/초전도층/완충층/금속기판의 구조를 가지며 완충층은 다층산화물 박막으로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에서는 니켈 기판의 원자가 초전도층으로 확산 침투하는 것을 방지하는 YSZ(Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) 박막의 증착방법 및 최적조건에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 금속타겟을 사용하며 산화반응가스로서 수증기를 사용하는 것을 특징으로 하는 DC reactive sputtering을 이용하여 YSZ를 증착하였으며 기판 온도는 $850^{\circ}C$ 이며 증착시 수증기 분압은 1mTorr이었다. YSZ의 최적두께를 알아보기 위하여 $CeO_2(12.2nm)/Ni$ 상부에 130nm, 260nm, 390nm, 650nm로 두께를 달리하여 YSZ층을 증착하고 SEM으로 박막 표면상태를 관찰한 결과 columnar grain growth를 하며 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 표면조도가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 4개의 각 시료위에 thermal evaporation 증착법을 이용하여 $CeO_2$를 18.3nm의 두께로 증착한 후 PLD를 이용하여 YBCO 초전도 박막을 300nm 두께로 증착하였고 77K, 0T에서 임계전류가 각각 0, 6A, 7.5A, 5A로 측정되었다. 이는 YSZ층의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 기판 구성원자의 확산방지역할을 충실히 하는 반면에 표면조도는 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

최근 탄화수소를 에너지원으로 사용하는 엔진을 대체할 동력원으로 연료 전지가 주목을 받게 되면서 수소 생산 기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 수소를 생산하는 다양한 방법 중에 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템(SOEC)은 수소를 생산하기 위한 기초적이고, 친환경적인 방법이다. 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템은 고온, 고압 조건에서 운전이 가능하여 낮은 에너지 수요와 높은 열효율을 지니기 때문에 실험적인 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 하지만 실험적인 연구 성과에 비해 수치모델 연구는 비교적 부진하다. 이에 대한 원인으로 기존의 수치모델이 온도와 압력의 변화에 따른 성능 예측의 유효성이 상당히 낮기 때문으로 판단하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템의 셀 성능 예측의 유효성을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시하기 위해서 Patterened Ni-YSZ cermet electrode(40 wt%, Ni-60 wt% YSZ)/8-YSZ (TOSOH, TZ8Y)/LSM (La_0.9Sr_0.1MnO₃)로 구성된 상용 막-극 접합체의 기존의 연구 데이터를 활용하였다. 온도에 따른 전기화학적 특성의 영향을 수치적으로 분석한 결과, 유효성에 가장 큰 편차를 가져오는 변수들은 charge transfer coefficient(CTC), exchange current density, diffusion coefficient, electrical conductivity인 것으로 나타났다. 온도와 압력에 따른 해당 변수들의 영향 및 경향성을 분석하여 과전압 모델을 제시하였다. 다양한 모델의 적용과 타당성을 확보하기 위해서 교차-검증이 도입되었다. 그 결과, 체계화된 유효성 검증 과정에 기초한 고체 산화물 수전해 시스템의 수치 모델은 뛰어난 성능의 예측 결과를 보여주었다.

연료극 지지체 평관형 고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC)의 셀 전력밀도를 증가시키기 위하여 압출법에 의하여 제조하고 그 특성을 연구하였다. 연료극 지지체로써 Ni/YSZ($8mol\%$ yttria stabilized zirconia) cermet는 기공율 $50.6\%,\;0.23{\mu}m$의 기공크기를 나타내었다. 지지체에서의 Ni의 분포는 균일하였으며 전자전도 경로로써의 Ni의 연결성은 양호하였다. 지지체에 YSZ전해질과 복합 공기극층인 $LSM((La_{0.85}Sr_{0.15})_{0.9}MnO_3)/YSZ$ 복합층, LSM, LSCF $(La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_3)$층이 슬러리 디핑법에 의하여 코팅 및 소결된 연료극 지지체식 평관형 고체산화물 연료전지 단위전지의 성능은 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $300mW/cm^2(0.6V,\;500mA/cm^2)$의 성능을 나타내었다. 임피던스 분석에 의하여 평관형 셀의 전기화학적 분극저항을 평가하고 연료측의 가습에 따라 분극저항이 감소되어 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다 슬러리 디핑법으로 LSM이 코팅된 SUS430 금속연결재를 $Ar+10\%\;H_2$에서 소결하였으며, $750^{\circ}C$에서 면저항의 측정할 결과, 초기에는 $148m{\Omega}cm^2$를 나타내었으며, 450시간 경과 후에 $43m{\Omega}cm^2$의 낮은 면저항을 유지하였다. 반면에 동일한 조건으로 LSM이 코팅된 Fecralloy는 높은 면저항을 나타내었다.
