In this paper, we propose a rapid-charging system for the lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs used in electric forklifts. The battery offers three benefits: reduced charge time, prolonged battery life, and increased charging efficiency. A rapid-charging algorithm and DC/DC converter topology are proposed to achieve these benefits. This algorithm is developed using an electrochemical model, which controls the maximum charging current limit depending on the cell voltage and temperature. The experimental use of a selected 18650 LIB cell verified the prolongation of battery life on use of the algorithm. The proposed converter offers the same topological merits as a conventional resonant converter but solves the light-load regulation problem of conventional resonant converters by adopting pulse-width modulation. A 6.6-kW converter and charging algorithm were used with a forklift battery pack to verify this method's operational principles and advantages.

The chemical behavior and properties of the redox state of environmental pollutants was investigated using electrochemical methods. The purpose was to measure the variations in the redox reaction of differential pulse polarograms and cyclic voltammograms. The results observed the influences on redox potential and current of various factors including concentration, temperature, salt, and pH. These were established factors as the effect of the redox reaction. It can be clearly recognized that the electrode reaction are from reversible to irreversible processes. Also, it was mixing with reaction current controlled.

A glassy carbon electrode(GCE) modified with nafion-DTPA (diethylene triamine-pentaacetic acid)-glycerol is used for the highly selective and sensitive determination of a trace amount of Cu(II). Various experimental parameters, which influenced the response of nafion-DTPA-glycerol modified electrode to Cu(II), are optimized. The Copper(II) is accumulated on the electrode surface by the formation of the complex in an open circuit, and the resulting surface is characterized by medium exchange, electrochemical reduction, and differential pulse voltammetry(DPV). The electrochemical response is evaluated with respect to concentration of modifier, pH and preconcentration time, quiet time, copper(II) concentration, and other variables. A linear range is obtained in the concentration range 1.0${\times}$10$^{-8}$ M-1.0${\times}$10$^{-6}$ MCu(II) with 7 min preconcentration time. The detection limit(3s) is as low as 2.36${\times}$10$^{-8}$ M (1.50 ppb).

Titanium has been used to satisfy various applications such as bio engineering, aerospace, electronics, automobile. Recently, micro fabrication technologies of metals such as titanium have been required to satisfy many conditions in various fields. To satisfy these demands, micro electrochemical process using laser marking can be an alternative method because it is one of the precision machining and efficient process. Micro electrochemical process using laser marking needs to accomplish form of the oxidized recast layer on metal surface by laser marking. The laser beam marking conditions such as average power, pulse repetition rate and marking speed should be properly selected to form oxidized recast layer. So, the characteristics of titanium surface according to laser marking conditions was investigated through SEM(scanning electron microscope), EDS(energy dispersive spectrometer) and surface roughness analysis.

새로운 산화환원 표지자를 이용한 압타머 기반의 전기화학적 트롬빈 검출 바이오 센서를 개발하였다. 1차 지방족 아민(primary aliphatic amine) 으로 개질한 압타머를 전기 전도성 고분자 poly-(5,2':5',2"-terthiophene-3'-carboxylic acid) (polyTTCA) 층 위에 공유결합을 통해 고정하여 센서 표면을 개질하였다. Tetrabromophenolphthalein ethyl ester (KTBPE)를 압타머와 상호 작용시켜 전기화학적인 산화환원 표지자로 사용하였다. 압타머로 개질한 층 위에 KTBPE의 산화반응을 differential pulse voltammetry (DPV)를 사용하여 조사하였으며, 최종 센서의 특성은 voltammetry, QCM, and ESCA 를 사용하여 조사하였다. KTBEF와 압타머 센서와 반응 후, KTBPE의 산화 피크는 감소하였다. 센서의 선형 동적 범위는 10.0 ~ 100.0 nM 이었으며, 이 때 검출 한계는 $1.0{\pm}0.2nM$이었다.

Excellent electron transport properties with enhanced light scattering ability for light harvesting have made well-ordered one dimensional $TiO_2$ nanotube(TNT) arrays an alternative candidate over $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in the area of solar energy conversion applications. The principal drawback of TNT arrays being activated only by UV light has been addressed by coupling the TNT with secondary materials which are visible light-triggered. As well as extending the absorption region of sunlight, the introduction of these foreign components is also found to influence the charge separation and electron lifetime of TNT. In this study, a novel method to fabricate the TNT-based composite photoelectrodes employing visible responsive $CuInS_2$ (CIS) nanoparticles is presented. The developed method is a square wave pulse-assisted electrochemical deposition approach to wrap the inner and outer walls of a TNT array with CIS nanoparticles. Instead of coating as a dense compact layer of CIS by a conventional non-pulsed-electrochemical deposition method, the nanoparticles pack relatively loosely to form a rough surface which increases the surface area of the composite and results in a higher degree of light scattering within the tubular channels and hence a greater chance of absorption. The excellence coverage of CIS on the tubular $TiO_2$ allows the construction of an effective heterojunction that exhibits enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.

Differential pulse polarographic(DPP) analytical procedure for the rifampicin antibiotic, which can be applied to monitor its synthetic process from the starting antibiotic of rifamycin B or rifamycin SV has been developed based on the electrochemical reduction of an azomethine group. Rifampicin exhibited a cathodic peak due to the azomethine group in the side chain of 3-[(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)imino]methyl moiety and another cathodic peak due to the carbonyl group in rifamycin SV by DPP. The experimental peak potential shift of an azomethine reduction was -73 mV/pH in the pH range between 3.0 and 7.5, agreeing with involvement of 4 e-and 5 $H^5$ in its reduction. By the cyclic voltammetric(CV) studies, the azomethine and the carbonyl reductions in rifampicin were processed irreversibly on the mercury electrode. The plot of peak currents vs. concentrations of rifampicin ranging $1.0{\times}10^{-7} M~$1.0{\times}10^{-5} M yielded a straight line with a correlation coefficient of 0.9996. The detection limit was $1.0{\times}10^{-8} M with a modulation amplitude of 50 mV DPP has been successfully applied for the determination of rifampicin in the pharmaceutical preparations.

The high cost of Si-based solar cells remains a substantial challenge to their widespread adoption. To address this issue, it is essential to reduce the production cost of solar-grade Si, which is used as raw material. One approach to achieve this is Si electrodeposition in molten salts containing Si sources, such as SiO₂. In this study, we present the pulse electrodeposition of Si in molten CaCl₂ containing SiO₂ nanoparticles. Theoretically, SiO₂ nanoparticles with a diameter of less than 20 nm in molten CaCl₂ at 850℃ have a comparable diffusion coefficient with that of ions in aqueous solutions at room temperature. However, we observed a slower-than-expected diffusion of the SiO₂ nanoparticles, probably because of their tendency to aggregate in the molten CaCl₂. This led to the formation of a non-uniform Si film with low current efficiency during direct current electrodeposition. We overcome this issue using pulse electrodeposition, which enabled the facile supplementation of SiO₂ nanoparticles to the substrate. This approach produced a uniform and thick electrodeposited Si film. Our results demonstrate an efficient method for Si electrodeposition in molten CaCl₂ containing SiO₂ nanoparticles, which can contribute to a reduction in production cost of solar-grade Si.

The techniques of pulse and cyclic voltammetry were applied to the determination of (E$_{1}$2)$_2$-(E$_{1}$2)$_1$ for two-step electrochemical charge transfers. In addition, a simple amplitude was derived far the dependence of the differential pulse response on (E$_{l}$ 2/)$_1$ and (E$_{1}$2/)$_2$. and the use of peak to peak separation in cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse methods was evaluated. A comparison of the comproportionation constants(Ke) from differential pulse and cyclic voltammetry methods exhibited a good agreement within 5%.
