Perovskite type ceramic membranes which exhibit dual ion conduction (proton and oxygen ion conduction) can permeate water and can aid solving operational problems such as temperature gradient and carbon deposition associated with a working solid oxide fuel cell. From this point of view, it is crucial to reveal water transport mechanism and especially the nature of the surface sites that is necessary for water incorporation and evolution. $BaCe_{0.8}Y_{0.2}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ (BCY20) was used as a model proton and oxygen ion conducting membrane in this work. Four different catalytically modified membrane configurations were used for the investigations and water flux was measured as a function of temperature. In addition, CO was introduced to the permeate side in order to test the stability of membrane against water and $CO/CO_2$ and post operation analysis of used membranes were carried out. The results revealed that water incorporation occurs on any exposed electrolyte surface. However, the magnitude of water permeation changes depending on which membrane surface is catalytically modified. The platinum increases the water flux on the feed side whilst it decreases the flux on the permeate side. Water flux measurements suggest that platinum can block water permeation on the permeate side by reducing the access to the lattice oxygen in the surface layer.

An anomalous positive temperature coefficient of electrical resistivity (PTCR) was investigated in a ferroelectric lead-free perovskite-type compound $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ within $BaTiO_3$-based solid solution ceramics. The effect of $Nb_2O_5$ content on the electrical properties and the microstructure of (1 - x) $BaTiO_3-x\;(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3$ (BNT) ceramics made using a conventional mixed oxide process also has been studied. The Curie temperature was obviously increased with the increasing of $(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TIO_3$ content. The Nb - doped BNT ceramics (x=0.01) display low resistivity values of $10^{1{\circ}}C-10^{2{\circ}}C$ ohm.cm at room temperature and the Curie Temperature of $T_c=160^{\circ}C$.

$SrBi_2Nb_2O_9(SBN)$ thin films were grown on Pt/Ti/Si and p-type Si(100) substrates by rf-magnetron co-sputtering method using two ceramic targets, $SrNb_2O_6\; and \;Bi_2O_3$. The structural and electrical characteristics have been investigated to confirm the possibility of the SBN thin films for the applications to destructive and nondestructive read out ferroelectric random access memory(FRAM). For the optimum growth condition X-ray diffraction patterns showed that SBN films had well crystallized Bi-layered perovskite structure after $700^{\circ}C$ heat-treatment in furnace. From this specimen we got remnant polarization $(2P_r)$ of about 6 uC/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and coercive voltage $(V_c)$ of about 1.5 V at an applied voltage of 5 V. The leakage current density was $7.6{\times}10^{-7}$/A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 5V. And for the NDRO-FRAM application, properties of SBN films on Si substrate has been investigated. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis, we found the furnace treated sample had a native oxide about 2 times thicker than the RTA treated sample and this thick native oxide layer had a bad effect on C-V characteristics of SBN/Si thin film. After $650^{\circ}C$ RTA process, we got the improved memory window of 1.3 V at an applied voltage of 5 V.

Degradation in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell performance can be ascribed to the following fundamental processes from the materials chemical point of view; that is, diffusion in solids and reaction with gaseous impurities. For SOFC materials, diffusion in solids is usually slow in operation temperatures $800\sim1000^{\circ}C$. Even at $800^{\circ}C$, however, a few processes are rapid enough to lead to some degradations; namely, Sr diffusion in doped ceria, cation diffusion in cathode materials, diffusion related with metal corrosion, and sintering of nickel anodes. For gaseous impurities, chromium containing vapors are important to know how the chemical stability of cathode materials is related with degradation of performance. For LSM as the most stable cathode among the perovskite-type cathodes, electrochemical reduction reaction of $CrO_3$(g) at the electrochemically active sites is crucial, whereas the rest of the cathodes have the $SrCrO_4$ formation at the point where cathodes meet with the gases, leading to rather complicated processes to the degradations, depending on the amount and distribution of reacted Cr component. These features can be easily generalized to other impurities in air or to the reaction of nickel anodes with gaseous impurities in anode atmosphere.

혼합이온 전도체인 $K_2NiF_4$-type 산화물인 $La(Ca)_2Ni(Cu)O_{4+{\delta}}$ 분말을 합성하여 결정구조 분석과 분말의 나노구조화에 따른 고체산화물 연료전지의 양극 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 이온 반경이 큰 Cu가 Ni 자리에 치환되어 Ni-O 팔면체 구조에서 c 축 방향으로 결정구조가 팽창하였으며, Ni-Cu의 Jahn-Teller 뒤틀림으로 산소이온 산화 환원 반응과 이온 전도도 특성에 영향을 주었다. 특히 나노구조의 $La(Ca)_2Ni(Cu)O_{4+{\delta}}$ 분말의 경우 표면 촉매성능이 향상되어 단위 전지 성능 향상 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. Ni-YSZ 음극 지지체에 8YSZ 전해질을 dip-coating한 후 $La(Ca)_2Ni(Cu)O_{4+{\delta}}$ 분말을 양극으로 도포하여 얻은 SOFC 단위성능 측정 결과 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $1w/cm^2$의 최대 출력 값을 얻을 수 있었다.

고체전지, 산화물연료전지, 센서, 산화물 분리막 등 에너지 재료로 활용이 무궁한 산소 이온 전도체 중 acceptor가 첨가된 $LaAlO_3$의 전기적 특성과 고온에서의 혼합전도체로 사용 가능성을 연구하였다. Sr과 Mg을 $LaAlO_3$에 동시에 첨가하여 만든 LSAM의 전기적 특성을 교류(a.c.)와 직류(d.c.) 방법을 이용하여 다양한 산소 분압에서 측정하였다. 교류 임피던스 방법을 이용하여 LSAM의 전체 저항에서 입자(grain) 저항과 입계(grain boundary) 저항을 분리한 결과, $550^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 입계 저항이 지배적이나 $800^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 입자 저항이 대부분임을 알 수 있었다. 또 산소분압에 따른 전도도 측정을 물질의 결함모델(defect model)을 이용하여 분석해 전체 전도도를 이온 전도도와 전자 전도도로 분리하였다. 그 결과, $800^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 LSAM은 낮은 산소분압($Po_2$ < $10^{-10}atm$)에서는 산소이온 전도체이고 높은 산소분압($Po_2$ > $10^{-5}atm$)에서는 혼합전도체의 거동을 보였다. 또 온도가 증가하여도 산소이온 전도가 주도적인 산소분압의 영역은 줄어들지 않았고 낮은 산소분압에서도 안정적인 전기적 특성을 보이는 등으로 보아, LSAM은 고온의 낮은 산소분압(T > $1500^{\circ}C$, $Po_2$ < $10^{-10}atm$) 조건에서 용강에서의 산소이온센서와 같은 산소이온체로의 사용 가능성이 높다.

New pyrochlore-type phases($A_2$$B_2$$O_{7}$) were synthesized in the systems: CaO-C$eO_2$-T$iO_2$, CaO-$UO_2$(T$hO_2$)-Z$rO_2$, CaO-$UO_2$(T$hO_2$)-$Gd_2$$O_3$-T$iO_2$-Z$rO_2$, 및 CaO-T$hO_2$-S$nO_2$. The starting materials were pressed with the pressure of 200~400 MPa and sintered at 1500~ 155$0^{\circ}C$ for 4~8 hours in air and at 1300~ 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 ~50 hours under oxygen atmosphere. The products were characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS and TEM. In the bulk compositions of CaCe$Ti_2$$O_{7}$, CaTh$Zr_2$$O_{7}$,($Ca_{0.5}$ Gd$Th_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$) ($Ca_{0.5}$Gd$Th_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$, ($Ca_{0.5}$G$dU_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$ and CaTh$Sn_2$$O_{7}$ , pyrochlore was the major phase, together with other oxide phase $of_2$$O_{7}$ fluorite structure. In the samples with target compositions CaU$Zr_2$$O_2$및 $Ca_{0.5}$ G$dU_{0.5}$)$Zr_2$T$iO_{7}$ pyrochlore was not identified, but a fluorite-structured phase was detected. The formation factor as the stable phase depended on crystal chemical characteristics of the actinide and lanthanide elements of the system concerned.

$La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2-x}Zn_xO_{2.8}$(LSGMZ, X=0-0.05) was prepared using a solid state reaction method. Two secondary phases ($LaSrGaO_4$ and $LaSrGa_3O_7$) of powders were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. The relative amount of these secondary phases depended on the calcination conditions (temperature and time) and Zn content. The sintering density of LSGMZ was enhanced by increasing the Zn content and calcination temperature at the low sintering temperatures ($1250-1300^{\circ}C$). The relationship between the sintering density of LSGMZ and the synthesis conditions was discussed considering the phase analysis results.

The development of a buffer layer is an important issue for the second -generation wire, YBCO coated metal wire. The buffer layer demands not only on the prohibition of the reaction between YBCO and metal substrate, but also the proper lattice match and conductivity for high critical current density (Jc) of YBCO superconductor, In order to satisfy these demands, we suggested CaRuO3 as a useful candidate having that the lattice mismatches with Ni (200) and with YBCO are 8.2% and 8.0%, respectively. The CaRuO3 thin films were deposited on Ni substrates using various methods, such as e-beam evaporation and DC and RF magnetron sputtering. These films were investigated using SEM, XRD, pole-figure and AES. In e-beam evaporation, the deposition temperature of CaRuO3 was the most important since both hi-axial texturing and NiO formation between Ni and CaRuO3 depended on it. Also, the oxygen flow rate had i[n effect on the growth of CaRuO3 on Ni substrates. The optimal conditions of crystal growth and film uniformity were 400$^{\circ}C$, 50 ㎃ and 7 ㎸ when oxygen flow rate was 70∼100sccm In RF magnetron sputtering, CaRuO3 was deposited on Ni substrates with various conditions and annealing temperatures. As a result, the conductivity of CaRuO3 thin films was dependent on CaRuO3 layer thickness and fabrication temperature. We suggested the multi-step deposition, such as two-step deposition with different temperature, to prohibit the NiO formation and to control the hi-axial texture.
