Sintered Cu-W has been used for the electrode of GIS for interrupting the abnormal current. In this study the effect of Ni addition in Cu-W electrode was investigated. Cu-W electrodes used contains 0.1~0.2wt% Ni and were conducted the experiments which was attacked by DC arc test (70V-70A) for 300 times periodically. As the contents of Ni in Cu-W electrode increase, the hardness and electrical conductivity were decreased. The weight change ($\Delta$mg) of electrode after DC arc test increased with increasing Ni contents and test times. The hardness and electrical conductivity of electrode after DC arc test were decreased compared with non-arc affected electrode, which was owing to the defects near surface of electrode and degradation by arc heat. It was considered that Cu in the Cu-W electrode was scattered to all directions by arc heat, therefore, the electrodes were damaged and deformed in the surface and cross-section of electrode. It is difficult to estimate directly the characteristics of Cu-W electrode for GIS related with high voltage and current from the results of DC arc test conducted in this study. However, the results of the effect of Ni addition in Cu-W electrode could be applied for the research of electrode for GIS.

Application of fuel cell to produce renewable energy for commercial purpose is limited by the high cost of Pt based electrode materials. Development of inexpensive, high energetic electrode is the need of the hour to produce pollution free energy using bio-fuel through a fuel cell. Ni-Cu and Ni-CeO₂-Cu electrode materials, electro synthesized by pulse current have been developed. The surface morphology of the electrode materials is controlled by different deposition parameters in order to produce a high current from the electro-oxidation of the fuel, the ethanol. The developed materials are electrochemically characterized by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Chronoamperometry (CA) and Potentiodynamic polarization tests. The results confirm that the high current is due to their enhanced catalytic properties viz. high exchange current density (i₀), low polarization resistance (R_p) and low impedance. It is worthwhile to mention here that the addition of CeO₂ to Ni-Cu has outperformed Pt as far as the high electro catalytic properties are concerned; the exchange current density is about eight times higher than the same on Pt surface. The morphology of the electrode surface examined by SEM and FESEM exhibits that the grains are narrow and sub spherical with 3D surface, containing vacancies in between the elongated grains. The fact has enhanced more surface area for electro oxidation of the fuel, giving rise to an increase in current. Presence of Ni, CeO₂, and Cu is confirmed by the XRD and EDXS. Fuel cell fabricated with Ni-CeO₂-Cu material electrode is expected to produce clean electrical energy at cheaper rates than conventional one, using bio fuel the derived from biomass.

Ni/MH전지에서 Cu 도금이 MH(metal hydride)음극의 전극 특성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 조사하였다. $LaNi_5$와 Cu도금된 $LaNi_5$를 활물질로 사용하여 냉간압착법과 페이스트법의 혼용법으로 전극을 제조하였다. 그 결과 소량의 CMC(carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt)를 첨가하고 열처리를 행하지 않은 전극이 높은 방전용량을 보였다. $LaNi_5$보다는 Cu 도금된 $LaNi_5$를 활물질로 사용하여 제조한 전극의 방전용량이 증가하였으며, 이는 $LaNi_5$표면에 도금된 구리에 의해 전극의 전자 전도도가 증가되었기 때문이며 도금된 구리의 양이 증가할 수록 그 효과는 현저하였다. 또한 전극의 방전용량은 산성 무전해도금의 경우가 알칼리성 무전해도금을 행한 전극보다 우수한 용량을 나타내었다. Al이 첨가된 $LaNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$ 전극이 $LaNi_5$전극보다 우수한 방전용량을 보였다. 구리 도금이 $LaNi_5$의 피독특성에 미치는 영향을 CO기체의 피독실험으로 조사하였다.

In this study, we have investigated the availability of the electroless Ni-B plating for a diffusion barrier of the bus electrode. The Ni-B layer of 1$\beta$: thick was electroless deposited on the electroplated Cu bus electrode for AC plasma display. The layer was to encapsulate Cu bus electrode to prevent from its oxidation and to serve as a diffusion barrier against Cu contamination of the transparent dielectric layer in AC plasma display. The microstructure of the as-plated barrier layer was made of an amorphous phase and the structure was converted to crystalline at about 30$0^{\circ}C$. The concentration of boron was about 5∼6 wt.% in the electroless Ni-B deposit regardless of DMAB concentration. The electroless Ni-B deposit was coated on the surface of the electroplated Cu bus electrode uniformly. And the electroless Ni-B plating was found to be an appropriate process to form the diffusion barrier.

[ $AB_5$ ] 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.

In this paper, we developed enzyme electrode of a new form to improve performance of disposable glucose sensor. We could fabricate electrode of Cu/Ni/Au structure which has very low electrical resistance (0.1 $\Omega$) by sticking copper film to plastic film with laminating method and electro-plated nickle and gold on it. The enzyme electrode was completed by immobilizing enzyme on the fabricated electrode. The fabricated glucose sensor has very quick sensing time as 3 seconds, and excellent reproducibility, fabrication yield as well.

In this paper, we investigated the electrical properties of crystalline silicon solar cell fabricated with Ni/Cu/Ag plating. The laser process was used to ablate silicon nitride layer as well as to form the selective emitter. Phosphoric acid layer was spin-coated to prevent damage caused by laser and formed selective emitter during laser process. As a result, the contact resistance was decreased by lower sheet resistance in electrode region. Low sheet resistance was obtained by increasing laser current, but efficiency and open circuit voltage were decreased by damage on the wafer surface. KOH treatment was used to remove the laser damage on the silicon surface prior to metalization of the front electrode by Ni/Cu/Ag plating. Ni and Cu were plated for each 4 minutes and 16 minutes and very thin layer of Ag with $1{\mu}m$ thickness was plated onto Ni/Cu electrode for 30 seconds to prevent oxidation of the electrode. The silicon solar cells with KOH treatment showed the 0.2% improved efficiency compared to those without treatment.

Thin Ni-B films, 1 ${\mu}m$ thick, were electrolessly deposited on Cu bus electrode fabricated by electro deposition. The purpose of these films is to encapsulate Cu electrodes for preventing Cu oxidation and to serve as a diffusion barrier against copper contamination of dielectric layer in AC-plasma display panel. The layers were heat treated at $580^{\circ}C$(baking temperature of dielectric layer) with and without pre-annealing at $300^{\circ}C$($Ni_{3}B$ formation temperature) for 30 minutes. In the layer with pre-annealing, amount of Cu diffusion was lower about 5 times than that in the layer without pre-annealing. The difference of Cu concentration could be attributed to Cu diffusion before $Ni_{3}B$ formation at grain boundaries. However, the diffusion behavior of the layer with pre-annealing was similar to that of the layer without pre-annealing after $Ni_{3}B$ formation. With increasing annealing time, Cu concentration of both layers increased due to grain growth.

The fabrication process of Cu-base anode for replacing Ni-base anode of molten carbonate fuel cell was investigated. Electrochemical performance and thermal stability of Cu-base anode were also investigated. Green sheet was prepared by mixing Cu and Ni powder with 1.5wt% methylcellulose and 100wt% water. The pore-size distribution of the Cu-base anode sintered at $800^{\circ}C$ for 30min showed almost uniform pore-size ranging from 4 to 20$\mu\textrm{m}$ and it was considered suitable for MCFC anode. Cu-Ni anode containing between 35 to 50wt% Ni exhibited current density of 111mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 100mV overpotential and it was almost the some value for pure Ni anode. The sintering resistance of Cu-Ni increased with an increase of Ni addition. It was considered that the increase of sintering resistance was due to the decrease of diffusion rate of Cu and Ni with increasing the addition of Ni in Cu-Ni alloy.
