Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance degrade when sulfur dioxide is present in the fuel hydrogen gas, this is referred as $SO_2$ poisoning. This paper reveals $SO_2$ poisoning on PEMFC cathode part by measuring electrical performance of single cell under 1 ppm and 5 ppm on $SO_2$ gas operating. The security of $SO_2$ poisoning depended on $SO_2$ concentration under the best operating conditions($65^{\circ}C$ of cell temperature and 100% of relative humidity between anode and cathode). $SO_2$ adsorption occured on the surface of catalyst layer on membrane electrode assembly (MEA), In addition, MEA poisoning by $SO_2$ was cumulative but reversible. After poisoning within 5 ppm $SO_2$ for 1hr, the electrical performance of PEMFC was found to recover up to about 93% by cyclic voltametry scan.

Nano-sized cathode materials for high power lithium ion polymer battery are easily and economically prepared using united eutectic self-mixing method without any artificial mixing procedures of reactants and ultra-miniaturization of products. While the micro-sized $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ exhibits the discharge capacities of 167.8 mAh/g at 0.1C and 142.5 mAh/g at 3.0C, those of the nano-sized $LiNi_{0.7}Co_{0.3}O_2$ are 170.8 mAh/g at 0.1C and 159.3 mAh/g at 3.0C. In the case of $LiCoO_2$, the micro-sized $LiCoO_2$ exhibits the discharge capacities of 134.8 mAh/g at 0.1C and 118.6 mAh/g at 5.0C. Differently, the nano-sized $LiCoO_2$ exhibits the discharge capacities of 137.2 mAh/g at 0.1C and 131.7 mAh/g at 5.0C.

Well-defined o-$LiMnO_2$ cathode materials were synthesized using LiOH and $Mn_3O_4$ starting materials at $1050^{\circ}C$ in an argon flow by quenching method. The synthesized $LiMnO_2$ particles with crystalline phases were identified with X-ray diffraction (XRD, Dmax/1200, Rigaku). XRD results, demonstrated that the compound $LiMnO_2$ can be indexed to a single-phase material having the orthorhombic structure. In this paper, we analyzed the electrochemical performance of $LiMnO_2$/Li using solid polymer electrolyte and liquid electrolyte.

The phenomena of high-voltage polarization and conductivity in oriented vinylidenefluoride and tetrafluoroethylene copolymer films have been investigated. It was shown that under certain electric fields, injection of carriers from the material of electrodes appears The barrier for holes injection in the copolymer was found to be lower than that for electrons. It results in more effective screening of the external field near the anode than near cathode. Electrones, ejected from cathode, creating negative charge by trapping on the surface. It is shown that the electrons injected from cathodes create a negative homocharge on the copolymer surface and then become captured on the surface shallow traps. Their nature has been studied by the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was shown that these traps may consist of chemical defects in the form of new functional groups formed by reactions of surface macromolecules with sputtered atoms of aluminum. The asymmetric shape of hysteresis curves was explained by the difference in mobility of injected holes and electrons. These factors caused appearance of "non-closed" hysteresis curves for fluorine-containing polymer ferroelectrics. Hysteresis phenomena observed at low electric fields (below coercive ones) are to associate with the behavior of the domains localized in the ordered regions formed during secondary crystallization of copolymers.

Proper water management is crucial for the efficient operation of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Especially, for automotive applications, A novel water management that can avoid both membrane dry-out and flooding is a very important task to achieve good performance and efficiency of PEM fuel cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the liquid water behavior on the gas diffusion layer (GDL) surface and in the cathode flow channel of a PEM unit fuel cell under flooding conditions. For this purpose, a transparent unit fuel cell is devised and fabricated by modifying the conventional PEM fuel cell design. The results of water droplet behavior under flooding conditions are mainly presented. The water distributions in the cathode flow channels with cell operating voltage are also compared and analyzed. Through this work, it is expected that the data obtained from this fundamental study can be effectively used to establish the basic water management strategy in terms of water removal from the flow channels in a PEM fuel cell stack.

In this research, mixed metal oxide (TiO₂, RuO₂) coating was applied to grade 1 titanium as a bipolar plate for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Electrochemical experiments were carried out in an aqueous solution of pH 3 (H₂SO₄ + 0.1 ppm HF, 80 ℃) determined by DoE. The air was bubbled to simulate a cathode environment. Potentiodynamic polarization test revealed that corrosion current densities of the titanium substrate and MMO-coated specimen were 0.180 µA/cm² and 4.381 µA/cm², respectively. There was no active peak. After potentiostatic experiment, current densities of the titanium substrate and the MMO-coated specimen were 0.19 µA/cm² and 1.05 µA/cm², respectively. As a result of observing the surface before and after the potentiostatic experiment, cracked dried clay structures were observed without corrosion damage. Both the titanium substrate and the MMO-coated specimen could not satisfy the interfacial contact resistance suggested by the DoE. Thus, further research is needed before they could be applied as bipolar plates.

[ $PPy^+DBS^-$ ] 복합체는 유화중합에 의해 제조되었고 이때 iron(III) chloride($FeCl_3$)는 개시제로, dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid(DBSA)는 계면활성제 및 도판트로 사용되었다. Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO)는 chlorosulfonic acid(CSA)를 사용하여 설폰화되었고 양극은 $PPy^+DBS^-$ 복합체, 도전제 그리고 바인더로 구성되며 이때 바인더로 PPO와 설폰화된 poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO)를 사용하였다. $PPy^+DBS^-/SPPO$ 양극은 $PPy^+DBS^-/PPO$에 비해 약 50% 높은 충 방전 성능을 나타내었는데 이는 SPPO가 바인더뿐만 아니라 도판트로 작용했기 때문이다. 더욱이 바인더로 사용된 고분자의 설폰화는 전도성 고분자와의 coulombic attraction을 유발시켜 두 상간의 혼화성을 증가시켰을 뿐만 아니라 양극과 전해질 사이의 접촉면적을 증가시켜 전기화학적으로 우수한 성능을 나타나게 했다.

고분자 전해질막 연료전지는 연료극의 연료와 공기극의 공기에 각각 $H_2S$와 $SO_2$이 포함되어 있을 때 그 성능이 심각하게 감소한다. 본 연구는 고분자전해질막 연료전지의 공기극과 연료극에 1 ppm에서 10 ppm의 불순물 가스를 공급하여 전기적 성능측정을 통해 복합적인 황불순물이 단위전지에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 최적의 운전조건에서 불순물가스를 피독하였을 때 $SO_2$와 $H_2S$의 농도가 증가할수록 성능이 급격히 감소하였다(단위전지 온도 $65^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 100%). 그리고 황의 흡착은 MEA의 백금 촉매층 표면서 일어나며, 불순물 가스가 MEA에 누적되는 것을 확인하였다. 1, 3, 5, 및 10 ppm 4회의 연속적인 피독 후 연료전지의 성능이 0.71 V에서 0.54 V(76 %)로 감소하였다.

We synthesized a spirobenzofluorene type phosphine oxide (SPPO2) as a new triplet host and an universal electron transport material for phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes(PHOLEDs). Red PHOLEDs with the SPPO2 host material showed a high quantum efficiency of 14.3 % with a current efficiency of 20.4 cd/A. In addition, the SPPO2 could be applied as an electron transport material which can be matched with any host material due to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of 2.4 eV. Electron injection from a cathode to the SPPO2 electron transport layer was better than common electron transport materials. In particular, the SPPO2 was effective as the electron transport material in blue PHOLEDs and the quantum efficiency was more than doubled and driving voltage was lowered by more than 3 V using the SPPO2 instead of common electron transport material.
