The $0.96MgTiO_{3}-0.04SrTiO_{3}+xCe(x=0{\sim}1.6wt%)$ ceramics were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were $1300^{\circ}C$, 2hr., respectively. From the X-ray diffraction patterns, it was found that the perovskite $SrTiO_{3}$ and ilmenite $MgTiO_{3}$ structures were coexisted in the $0.96MgTiO_{3}-0.04SrTiO_{3}+xCe(x=0{\sim}1.6wt%)$ ceramics. The dielectric constant$(\varepsilon_{r})$ was increased with addition of Ce. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency$(\Gamma_{f})$ was gradually varied from positive value to the negative value with increasing the Ce. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency of the $0.96MgTiO_{3}-0.04SrTiO_{3}+0.2Ce$ ceramics was near zero, where the dielectric constant, quality factor, and $\Gamma_{f}$ were 20.68, 50,272 and ${-0.5ppm/^{\circ}C}$, respectively.

$Ba(Zn_{0.8}Co_{0.2})_{1/3}Ta_{2/3}O_3$ [BZCT(80/20)] ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The ceramics were sintered at the temperature of $1450{\sim}1550^{\circ}C$ for 5hr. in air. The structural properties of BZCT(80/20) ceramics were investigated as a function of sintering temperature. The BZCT(80/20) ceramics sintered at $1550^{\circ}C$ showed a polycrystalline complex perovskite structure without second phases and any unreacted materials. Increasing the sintering temperature, the bulk density and ordering were increased. The bulk density of the BZCT(80/20) ceramics sintered at $1550^{\circ}C$ was 7.50[$g/cm^2$]. Increasing the sintering temperature, the average grain size were increased and pore were decreased.

Ferroelectric $Pb_2(Sc,Nb)O_6$ were prepared under two different sintering conditions using the oxide mixing method and the electrical properties were measured. The sintering conditions were $1350^{\circ}C$ for 25 minutes and $1400^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes. EDX spectroscopy and XRD were used to determine the crystalline characteristic of the $Pb_2(Sc,Nb)O_6$ compositions Pyrochlore phase showed about 2% in all $Pb_2(Sc,Nb)O_6$ specimens. It expands the growth of crystals in samples sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ than $1350^{\circ}C$, but all samples were the optimal crystallization. The temperature and frequency dependence of the complex dielectric constant and admittance were measured to analyze the electrical properties. The high dielectric constant of the specimens reflects the good stoichiometry and crystallization. The maximum value of the dielectric constant in the two specimens treated with sintering at $1350^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$ were more than 27,000, and the dielectric loss at room temperature is smaller than 0.05. The maximum dielectric constant decreased with increasing frequency, the transition temperature also increased in $Pb_2(Sc,Nb)O_6$ compositions. The admittance and susceptance values reach a peak at all temperatures, and the magnitude of the peak increases with increasing measuring temperature. Strong frequency dependent of maximum admittance, susceptance, dielectric constant and dielectric loss were observed.

$LaCrO_3$ series are the most common candidate materials for a ceramic interconnect for SOFC and the thermal expansion coefficient of these matches very well with that of YSZ electrolyte. In this study, characteristics of the coated films on the anode-support, which were formed by using $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$, $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CrO_3$, $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}Co_{0.1}Cr_{0.9}O_3$ for ceramic interconnet for SOFC, were investigated. All powders showed single perovskite phase and the precursors had spherical shapes of $2{\mu}m{\sim}30{\mu}m$. According to SEM analysis, coated film of LCC on pretreated anode-support was more thicker, whereas the coated film on untreated anode-support was densely formed. As the results of electrical conductivity of anode-support coated with the ceramic interconnects, LCCC exhibited the most excellent electrical conductivity of 0.15S/cm at $750^{\circ}C$.

Doped-$LaCrO_3$ perovskites, because of their good electrical conductivity and thermal stability in oxidizing and/or reducing environments, are used in high temperature solid oxide fuel cells as a gas-tight and electrically conductive interconnection layer. In this study, perovskite $(La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2})(Cr_{0.9}Co_{0.1})O_3$ (LCCC) coatings manufactured by atmospheric plasma spraying followed by heat treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$ have been investigated in terms of microstructural defects, gas tightness and electrical conductivity. The plasma-sprayed LCCC coating formed an inhomogeneous layered structure after the successive deposition of fully-melted liquid droplets and/or partially-melted droplets. Micro-sized defects including unfilled pores, intersplat pores and micro-cracks in the plasma-sprayed LCCC coating were connected together and allowed substantial amounts gas to pass through the coating. Subsequent heat treatment at $1200^{\circ}C$ formed a homogeneous granule microstructure with a small number of isolated pores, providing a substantial improvement in the gas-tightness of the LCCC coating. The electrical conductivity of the LCCC coating was consequently enhanced due to the complete elimination of inter-splat pores and micro-cracks, and reached 53 S/cm at $900^{\circ}C$.

$0.7Ba(Mg{\frac}_{1}{3}Ta{\frac}_{1}{3})O_3-0.3Ba({\frac}_{1}{3}Nb{\frac}_{1}{3})O_3ceramics$ were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The ceramics were sintered at the temperature of $1500{\sim}1575[^{\circ}C]$ for 5 hours in air. The microwave dielectric properties of the specimens were investigated with sintering temperature. The 0.7BMT-0.3BCN ceramics showed typical XRD patterns of the complex perovskite structure. Dielectric constant and quality factor were increased with increasing the sintering temperature.

KEPRI (KEPCO Research Institute) designed and operated the lab-scale high temperature electrolysis (HTE) system for hydrogen production with $10{\times}10cm^2$ 5-cell stack at $750^{\circ}C$. The electrolysis cell consists of Ni-YSZ steam/hydrogen electrode, YSZ electrolyte and LSCF based perovskite as air side electrode. The active area of one cell is 92.16 $cm^2$. The hydrogen production system was operated for 2664 hours and the performance of electrolysis stack was measured by means of current variation with from 6 A to 28 A. The maximum hydrogen production rate and current efficiency was 47.33 NL/hr and 80.90% at 28 A, respectively. As the applied current increased, hydrogen production rate, current efficiency and the degradation rate of stack were increased respectively. From the result of stack performance, optimum operation current of this system was 24 A, considering current efficiencies and cell degradations.
