This work presents the way how to evaluate the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the nickel hydroxide film cathodically deposited on pure nickel as a positive electrode for electrochemical capacitor using the combined cyclic voltammetry and potential drop method, supplemented by galvanostatic discharge and open-circuit potential transient methods. The time interval necessary just to establish the current reversal of anodic to cathodic direction from the moment just after applying the potential inversion of anodic to cathodic direction, was obtained on cyclic voltammogram. The cathodic charge density passed upon dropping the applied potential, was calculated on potentiostatic current density-time curve. Both the time interval and the cathodic charge density in magnitude can be regarded as being measures of the degree of reversibility of the discharging process undergone by the positive active material for supercapacitor, i.e. , the longer the time interval is, the lower is the degree of reversibility and the greater the cathodic charge density is, the higher is the degree of reversibility. From the applied potential dependences of the time interval and cathodic charge density, discharge at $0.42 V_{SCE}$ was determined to be the most reversible.

The aim of this study is to investigate the initiation and propagation of crevice corrosion for ferritic stainless steel in artificial crevice based on micro capillary tube method. The 430 stainless steel in artificial crevice is potentiostatically polarized in different sodium chloride solutions. Potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarization data were measured in situ. The potentials in the crevice were measured by depth profile using the 0.04 mm diameter micro capillary tube inserted in the crevice. The potentials in the crevice ranged from -220 mV to -360 mV vs SCE from opening to bottom of crevice, which are lower than the external surface potential, -200 mV vs SCE. Such a potential drop induced the change of the metal surface state from passive to active. The surface of metal is located in passive state in -200 mV but the inner surface keeps active state below -220 mV, Thus these results show that the It drop mechanism in the crevice was more objective for evaluation and the method was easier to reproduce. Therefore the potential drop is one of the reasons for crevice corrosion by measuring the potentials in narrow crevice with a new micro measuring system.

In this study, electrochemical damage behaviors with flow rate were investigated for anodized 5083 aluminum alloy in seawater. As the results of anodic polarization experiments and potentiostatic experiments at +1.0 V (vs. SSCE), the non-flow condition presented largely damaged surface resulting from a tendency of local pitting damage. Under various flow rate conditions, however, less surface damages under the application of anodic potential was obtained which is attributed to no accumulation of $H^+$ and $Cl^-$ ions on the surface. On the other hand, the results of the potentiostatic experiments at -1.0 V (vs. SSCE) with flow rate showed that anodized 5083 aluminum alloys could achieve the effective cathodic protection by low cathodic protection current density less than $2.61{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ even under high flow rate of 1 m/s.

The alloying effect of a small amount of nickel on low alloy steel for application to flue gas desulfurization(FGD) systems was studied. The structural characteristics of the rust layer were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The electrochemical properties were examined by means of potentiostatic polarization test, potentiodynamic polarization test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) in a modified green death solution of 16.9 vol.% $H_2SO_4$+0.35 vol.% HCl at $60^{\circ}C$ and an acid rain solution of $6.25{\times}10^{-5}M\;H_2SO_4+5.5{\times}10^{-3}M\;NaCl$ at room temperature. It was found that as the amount of nickel increased, the corrosion rate increased in the modified green death solution, which seemed to result from micro-galvanic corrosion between NiS and alloy matrix. In acid rain solution, the corrosion rate decreased as the amount of nickel increased due to the repulsive force of $NiFe_2O_4$ rust against $Cl^-$ ions by electronegativity.

This study investigated the erosion-corrosion characteristics of 5038-H321 aluminum alloy in a natural seawater solution through various electrochemical experiments and flow rate parameters. Cathodic polarization experiments were conducted at flow rates ranging from 4 to 12 knots. Considering the concentration polarization section representing a relatively low current density, the range of the potentiostatic experiment was determined to be -1.6 to -1.0 V. The potentiostatic experiment was conducted at various potentials for 180 minutes in seawater. After the experiment, the corrosion characteristics were evaluated by observing surface morphology and measuring surface roughness. As a result, as the applied potential was lower, the amount of calcareous deposits increased and the roughness tended to increase. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the roughness was larger in the static condition than the flow rate condition due to the influence of the flow velocity. Variations in the chemical composition with flow rate variations were analyzed by energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). In conclusion, the cathodic potential of AA5083-H321 in seawater was determined to be -1.0 V.

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.

본 연구에서는 해상풍력 타워 지지구조물용 강재인 S355ML 강에 대하여 전기화학적 기법으로 전기방식 설계에 필요한 최적 방식전위를 규명하고자 하였다. 동전위분극 실험 결과, 양극분극 곡선 상에서는 부동태 구간은 존재하지 않으며, 음극분극 곡선 상에는 용존산소환원반응에 의한 농도분극 구간과 수소가스 발생에 의한 활성화분극 구간이 관찰되었다. 음극방식 시 방식전위에 해당하는 농도분극 구간은 약 - 0.72 V ~ - 1.0 V의 전위 구간인 것으로 확인되었다. 다양한 전위에서 정전위 실험을 실시한 결과 전류밀도 변화는 시간에 따라 안정화되는 경향을 나타냈다. 1200초 동안 정전위 실험 후 주사전자현미경과 3D 분석 현미경을 이용한 시험편 표면 분석 결과, 양극분극 전위에 해당하는 0 V ~ - 0.50 V의 전위구간에서는 양극용해반응에 의한 부식손상이 관찰되었다. 이에 반해 음극분극 전위 영역에서는 대체적으로 손상이 없는 양호한 표면을 유지하였으며 석회질 피막 형성을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구결과, 농도분극 영역에 해당하는 - 0.8 V ~ - 1.0 V의 전위영역이 S355ML 강의 외부전원법에 의한 음극방식 적용 시 최적 방식 전위 구간으로 사료된다.

AlGaN 기반 UV-C 발광다이오드(LEDs)에 전기화학적 전위차 활성화(EPA)에 의한 p-형 활성화를 진행하였다. 높은 저항과 낮은 전도도를 유발하는 중성 Mg-H의 복합체의 수소원자를 EPA를 이용하여 제거하여 p-형 활성화 효율을 높였다. 중성 Mg-H 복합체는 주요 매개 변수인 용액, 전압, 시간에 의해 Mg^-과 H⁺로 분해되며, 2차 이온질량 분광법(SIMS) 분석을 통하여 개선된 정공 캐리어의 농도를 확인할 수 있었다. 이 메커니즘은 결국 내부 양자효율(IQE)의 증가, 광 추출 효율 향상, 역 전류 영역의 누설전류 값 개선, 접합 온도 개선 등을 이루어 결과적으로 UV-C LED의 수명을 향상시켰다. 체계적인 분석을 위해 SIMS, Etamax IQE 시스템, 적분구, 전류-전압(I-V) 측정 등을 사용하였으며, 그 결과를 기존의 N₂-열 처리 방법과 비교 평가하였다.

A spectroelectrochemical study on the redox chemistry of polyaniline (PANI) was carried out by using indium-tin oxide (ITO) transparent electrode in aqueous acidic solutions. Three different PANI-derived species were observed depending on the potential. The most highly oxidized species having alternating benzenoid-quinoid structures degraded through hydrolysis reaction. The degradation products were confirmed to be p-benzoquinone (BQ) and p-diaminobenzene (PDAB) by spectrophotometry anld potentiostatic experiments. Finally, a degradation mechanism is deduced from the observed behaviour.
