Alkaline water electrolysis is commercial hydrogen production technology. It is possible to operate MW scale plant. Because It used non-precious metal for electrode. But It has relatively low current density and low efficiency. In this study, research objective is development of anode for alkaline water electrolysis with low cost, high corrosion resistance and high efficiency. Stainless steel 316L (SUS 316L) was selected for a substrate of electrode. To improve corrosion resistance of substrate, Nickel (Ni) layer was electrodeposited on SUS 316L. Ni-Fe alloy was electrodeposited on the passivated Ni layer as active catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction(OER). We optimized preparation condition of Ni-Fe alloy electrodeposition by changing current density, electrodeposition time and composition ratio of Ni-Fe electrodeposition bath. This electrodes were electrochemically evaluated by using Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and Cyclic voltammetry (CV). The Ni-Fe alloy (Ni : Fe = 1 : 1) showed best activity of OER. The optimized electrode decreased overpotential about 40% at $100mA/cm^2$ compared with Ni anode.

The exchange anisotropy is the unidirectional magnetic anisotropy which comes from exchange interaction between antiferromagnetic layer and ferromagnetic layer. The application of this phenomenon to MR read head and spin-valve type GMR (Giant Magnetoresistance) head has been studied extensively. In our study, we intended to apply exchange anisotropy of NiO/NiFe bilayer to spin-valve type GMR element. Above all, we studied the exchange anisotropy of NiO/NiFe bilayer, and focused especially on the effect of NiO deposition condition. And we found that Ar pressure during NiO deposition was crucial factor for the exchange anisotropy of NiO/NiFe bilayer. The lower the Ar pressure is, the better the characteristics of exhange anisotropy is. Then, we applied this optimum condition of NiO/NiFe bilayer to spin-valve type GMR element. Finally we got spin-valve type GMR element which had 3.6 % MR ratio, 16 Oe switching field, and 0.25 %/Oe sensitivity.

It is necessary to develop soft magnetic layer with high saturation magnetization 4 $\pi{M}_s$ and in-plane magnetic anisotropy field Hk for soft magnetic underlayer of perpendicular magnetic recording media with high signal to noise ratio. Fe-Co-B layer with high 4 $\pi$Ms of about 23 kG deposited on Ni-Fe and Ni-Fe/Si seedlayer exhibited very high in-plane magnetic anisotropy filed Hk of about 280 and 380 Oe, respectively, In-plane XRD studies clarified that the lattice spacing of planes along the easy axis direction was longer than that along the hard axis direction in the Fe-Co-B layers with high Hk. These results indicate that high Hk of Fe-Co-B/Ni-Fe and Fe-Co-B/［Ni-Fe/si］ layers were resulted from magnetoelastic anisotropy owing to a residual stress. Moreover, the high Hk in the Fe-Co-B/Ni-Fe layer was maintained until 30$0^{\circ}C$ annealing temperature.

Glass와 실리콘 웨이퍼(p-type(100), $ ho$=6~8$\Omega$-cm)를 기판으로 하여 NiFe/glass , NiFe/Si, NiFe/Al/Si, NiFe/Ti/Si 의 박막을 제작하였다. 하지층으로 사용한 알루미늄과 티타늄은 RF 스퍼터링으로 증착하였으며 퍼럼로이(NiFe) 필름은 60, 80, 90wt%Ni로 조성을 변화시켜 증착하였다. 박막의 포화자화(Ms), 보자력(Hc), 각형비(F)는 sweep time을 1.7분으로 하여 시료 토크마그네토 메터로 측정하였다. 보자력에 영향을 주는 표면조도는 전자주사현미경(SEM)과 표면조도 측정기로써 알아보았다. 실험결과 80wt% Ni 의 퍼멀로이에서 자장 중 열처리(35 Oe,$ 350^{\circ}C$) 후 약 1의 각형비를 나타내었으며 열처리 후 보자력이 떨어짐을 보였다. 자기이방성은 알루미늄을 하지층으로 한 퍼멀로이 박막에서 가장 좋은 값(Ku=-9.60 $\times$106 emu/㎤)을 나타내었다.

The temperature dependence of DC magnetic susceptibilities of three austenitic Fe-Cr-Ni stainless alloys were measured in the temperature range of 4.2 and 300 K. Two alloys support a general magnetic description of austen-itic stsinless steels in terms of a two-magnetic-phase (spin glass + superparamagnetic cluster) model and one alloy shows magnetic double transition phenomena. Also this study shows that incressing the Ni/Cr ratio in Fe-Cr-Ni alloys causes a increase of the DC susceptibility peak value and a decrease of the magnetic transition temperature.

Fe-Ni alloy nanoparticles were prepared by ERC (Evaporation and Rapid Condensation) method, and the crystal structure and the behavior of martensite for the nanosized alloy particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The relation between the rate of martensite transformation and the internal strain of austenite was discussed. The lattice spaces of austenite and martensite for the nanoparticles agreed with those of the bulk materials. The rate of martensite transformation from austenite and the internal strain of austenite was reduced with decreasing the average size of Fe-Ni nanoparticles. It was thought that the residual austenite in the Ni content range of 11∼l5at% was caused by the internal strain, and the residual martensite in the Ni content range of 32∼36at% had its origin in the high surface energy of nanoparticles.

As a part of assessment of the structural material for the molten salt handling system, corrosion behavior of Inconel 718, X-750, Haynes 75 and Haynes 263 alloys in the molten salt of LiCl-Li$_2$O-O$_2$was investigated in the range of temperature; $650^{\circ}C$, time; 24~168h, $Li_2O$; 3wt%, mixed gas; Ar~10%$O_2$. In the molten salt of LiCl-$Li_2O-O_2$, the order corrosion rate was Haynes 263 ＜ Haynes 75 ＜ Inconel X-750 ＜ Inconel 718. Haynes 263 alloy showed the highest corrosion resistance among the examined alloys. Corrosion products of alloys were as fellows: Haynes 75: $Cr_2O_4$, $NiFe_2O_4$, $LiNiO_2$, $Li_2NiFe_2O_4$, Inconel 718; $Cr_2O_4$, $NiFe_2O_4$, Haynes 263; $Li(Ni,Co)O_2$, $NiCr_2O_4$, $LiTiO_2$, Inconel X-750; $Cr_2O_3$, $NiFe_2O_4$,$FeNi_3$, (Al,Nb,Ti)$O_2$. Haynes 263 showed local corrosion behavior and Haynes 75, Inconel 718 and Inconel X-750 showed uniform corrosion behavior.

The $NiSO_4$ supported on FeO-promoted $ZrO_2$ catalysts were prepared by the impregnation method. FeOpromoted $ZrO_2$ was prepared by the coprecipitation method using a mixed aqueous solution of zirconium oxychloride and iron nitrate solution followed by adding an aqueous ammonia solution. The addition of nickel sulfate (or FeO) to $ZrO_2$ shifted the phase transition of $ZrO_2$ (from amorphous to tetragonal) to higher temperatures because of the interaction between nickel sulfate (or FeO) and $ZrO_2$. 10-$NiSO_4$/5-FeO-$ZrO_2$ containing 10 wt % $NiSO_4$ and 5 mol % FeO, and calcined at 500 ${^{\circ}C}$ exhibited a maximum catalytic activity for ethylene dimerization. $NiSO_4$/FeO-$ZrO_2$ catalysts was very effective for ethylene dimerization even at room temperature, but FeO-$ZrO_2$ without $NiSO_4$ did not exhibit any catalytic activity at all. The catalytic activities were correlated with the acidity of catalysts measured by the ammonia chemisorption method. The addition of FeO up to 5 mol % enhanced the acidity, surface area, thermal property, and catalytic activities of catalysts gradually, due to the interaction between FeO and $ZrO_2$ and due to consequent formation of Fe-O-Zr bond.

Carbon-based magnetic nanostructures in several instances have resulted in improved physicochemical and catalytic properties when compared to multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and magnetic nanoparticles. In this study, magnetic MWCNTs with a structure of $Ni_xZn_xFe_2O_4/MWCNT$ as peroxidase mimics were fabricated by the one-pot hydrothermal method. The structure, composition and morphology of the nanocomposites were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The magnetic properties were investigated with a vibrating sample magnetometer. The peroxidase-like catalytic activity of the nanocomposites was investigated by colorimetric and electrochemical tests with 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and $H_2O_2$ as the substrates. The results show that the synthesis of the nanocomposites was successfully performed. XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline structures of the $Ni_xZn_xFe_2O_4/MWCNT$ nanohybrids and MWCNTs. The main peaks of the $Ni_xZn_xFe_2O_4/MWCNT$s crystals were presented. The $Ni_{0.25}Zn_{0.25}Fe_2O_4/MWCNT$ and $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4/MWCNT$ nanocatalysts showed nearly similar physicochemical properties, but the $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4/MWCNT$ nanocatalyst was more appropriate than the $Ni_{0.25}Zn_{0.25}Fe_2O_4/MWCNT$ nanocatalyst in terms of the magnetic properties and catalytic activity. The optimum peroxidase-like activity of the nanocatalysts was obtained at pH 3.0. The $Ni_{0.5}Zn_{0.5}Fe_2O_4/MWCNT$ nanocatalyst exhibited a good peroxidase-like activity. These magnetic nanocatalysts can be suitable candidates for future enzyme-based applications such as the detection of glucose and $H_2O_2$.
