Designing and producing a low-cost, high-current-density electrode with good electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still a major challenge for the industrial hydrogen energy economy. In this study, nanostructured Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ was discovered to be a precedent electrocatalyst for OER with low overpotential, low Tafel slope, good durability, and high electrochemically active surface sites at reduced mass loadings. Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ nanosheets are made using a hydrothermal synthesis process. These nanosheets are clumped together to form a highly open hierarchical structure. When used as an electrocatalyst, the Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ nanosheets required an overpotential of 260 mV to reach a current density of 50 mA cm^-2. Also, it showed a small Tafel slope of 72.9 mV dec^-1, and superior stability while catalyzing the generation of O₂ continuously for 20 hours. The Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ was found to have a large number of active sites which provide hierarchical and stable transfer routes for both electrolyte ions and electrons, resulting in exceptional OER performance.

The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is very sluggish compared to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Considering this difference is essential when designing and developing a cost-effective and facile synthesis method for a catalyst that can effectively perform OER activity. The material should possess a high surface area and more active sites. Considering these points, in this work we successfully synthesized sheets of cobalt phosphate hydrate (CP) and sulphurated cobalt phosphate hydrate (CPS) material, using simple successive ionic layered adsorption and reaction (SILAR) methods followed by sulfurization. The CP and CPS electrodes exhibited overpotentials of 279 mV with a Tafel slope of 212 mV dec^-1 and 381 mV with a Tafel slope of 212 mV dec^-1, respectively. The superior performance after sulfurization is attributed to the intrinsic activity of the deposited well-aligned nanosheet structures, which provided a substantial number of electrochemically active surface sites, speeded electron transfer, and at the same time improved the diffusion of the electrolyte.

Recently it has become general to use the inhibitor with a view to protecting corrosion of rebars in concrete. So, it needs to study effect of protection and reasonable dosage of inhibitor to reduce corrosion of rebar in concrete containing chlorides. In this study, we estimate the corrosion rate of rebar in mortar by Tafel extrapolation method, one of electrochemical techniques, and the reasonable dosage of inhibitor for different chlorides environments.

This investigation is to make comparative evaluation of the corrosion inhibiting effects of quinoline, oxine and 7-nitroso 8-hydroxy quinoline (7NHQ). In case of quinoline, and oxine, since the N atom in them functions as cation, the process involved is assumed to be cathode control. On the other hand 7-NHQ was found to form a stable chelate compound with $Fe^{++}$ ion in acidic solution and shows as anode control predominantly. After plotting polarization curves, Tafel parameters were calculated in each solution involving the inhibitors, at the same time corrosion inhibiting effects were separately measured and compared from data of both corrosion current and analytical method.

Electrochemical reduction of dibenzoylmethane was studied on mercury electrode by means of cyclic voltammetry, polarography and potentiostatic measurements in ethanol-water system. In acidic solutions monomeric pinacol was produced by irreversible two-electron process while monomeric and dimeric pinacol were competitively produced by the same process in neutral solution. However, in basic solution the dimeric pinacol was mostly produced through radical by irreversible one-electron transfer process. Mechanisms of the reduction of dibenzoylmethane are deduced from Tafel slope, pH dependance and reaction order with respect to the concentration of dibenzoylmethane in the solution of various pH.

수소이온 교환 막을 가진 직접 메탄올 연료전지(DMFC)는 기존의 전력원에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 직접메탄올 연료전지는 메탄올 crossover, 음극의 과전압, limiting current density 등 해결해야할 문제들이 있다. 직접메탄올 연료전지의 물리화학적 현상은 여러 편미분방정식들로 표현 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 편미분방정식을 풀기위해 FEMLAB를 이용하였다. FEMLAB은 PDE를 기초로 문제를 정의하고 1, 2, 3D, 비선형, 그리고 시간의 함수 형태의 편미분방정식들로 정의된 시스템을 전산모사하기위해 디자인되었다. 시스템의 메탄올 농도 분포를 알아보기 위해 촉매층에서 전기화학적반응식으로 Tafel식을 적용하여 전산모사를 수행하였다. 전산모사를 통해 음극의 촉매층에서 메탄올 농도의 급격한 감소는 직접 메탄올 연료전지의 성능저해의 요인임을 확인하였다.

The hull material of a high-speed ship may cause erosion damage from fluid impact. When physical erosion and electrochemical corrosion combine, erosion corrosion damage occurs. The aluminum ship is vulnerable to erosion corrosion because it can be operated at high speed. Thus, in this study, Al5052-O and Al6061-T6 aluminum alloys for the marine environment were selected as experimental materials. The erosion corrosion resistance of Al5052-O and Al6061-T6 aluminum alloys in seawater was investigated by an erosion test and potentiodynamic polarization test at the various flow rate (0 m/s, 5 m/s, 10 m/s, 15 m/s, 20 m/s). Erosion corrosion characteristics were evaluated by surface analysis, 3D analysis, SEM analysis, and the Tafel extrapolation method. The results of surface damage analysis after the erosion test showed that Al6061-T6 presented better erosion resistance than Al5052-O. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization test at the various flow rate, corrosion current density by Tafel extrapolation presented lower values of Al6061-T6 than Al5052-O. Al5052-O showed more surface damage than Al6061-T6 at all flow rates. Consequently, Al6061-T6 presented better erosion corrosion resistance than Al5052-O. The results of this study are valuable data for selecting hull material for an aluminum alloy vessel.

음극방식 시스템의 방식전류에 의한 압입구간내의 압입관과 배관의 부식거동에 관한 수학적 모델링을 경계요소법을 이용하여 수행하였다. 모델은 비선형 경계조건(Tafel 방정식)을 가진 라플라스 방정식으로 이루어져 있으며 압입관의 혼합전위를 구하기 위하여 혼합전위 이론을 응용한 반복법을 사용하였으며 그 위에 비선형 경계조건에 대한 해석을 위하여 이중 반복법을 사용하였다. 모델은 정상적인 압입구간 뿐만 아니라 압입관과 배관과의 금속간 접촉(metal touch)이나 외부환경과 압입구간 내부를 격리시키는 절연부위의 손상과 같은 결함들을 가진 비정상적인 압입구간에서의 각각의 경우에 대해서도 적용되었다. 수학적 모델링의 결과로부터 압입구간내의 전위분포나 전류분포를 계산할 수 있었다. 모델링의 타당성을 증명하기 위하여 모사실험을 수행하였으며 실험조건내에서 이론적인 결과와 실험결과는 정상적으로 잘 일치하였다.

60몰%$AlCl_3$-40몰% NaCl의 용융염($453^{\circ}$<\TEX>K)속에든 알루미늄 전극에 대하여 전류-전압 편극곡선을 얻었다. 50mA/$CM^2$보다 큰 전류밀도에서는 옴-저항에 의한 전위차가 양극전위에 상당히 기여하므로 저항이 큰 $AlCl_3$(혹은 $AlCl_3$ 의 농도가 큰 멜트)의 층이 양극표면에 가까이 형성된다고 결론지었다. IR-전위차에 대하여 보정한 후의 Tafel곡선과 Allen-Hickling 곡선으로 부터 겉보기 transfer-coefficient, ${\alpha}_a$=(2.3RT/F)(dlogi/d${\eta}$)=$1.5{\pm}0.25$가 얻어졌다. 약 30mA/$cm^2$보다 큰 음극전류밀도에서는 느린 이온확산과 dendrite 생장 때문에 속도론적 측정이 방해 받았다.

It is inclined to increase that use of hazardous substances such as lead(Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium(Cd) etc. are prohibited in the electronics according to environmental friendly policies of an advanced nation for protecting environment of earth. As this reasons, many researches for ensuring the reliability were proceeding in Pb free soldering process. n the flux remains on the PCB(printed circuit board) in the soldering process or the electronics exposed to corrosive environment, it becomes the reasons of breakdown or malfunction of the electronics caused by corrosion. Therefore in this studies we researched the polarization and Tafel properties of Sn40Pb and SnCu system solders based on the electrochemical theory. The experimental polarization curves were measured in distilled ionized water and 1 mole $3.5 wt\%$ NaCl electrolyte of $40^{\circ}C$, pH 7.5. Ag/AgCl and graphite were utilized by reference and counter electrodes, respectively. To observe the electrochemical reaction, polarization test was conducted from -250mV to +250mV. From the polarization curves composed of anodic and cathodic curves, we obtained Tafel slop, reversible electrode potential(Ecorr) and exchange current density((cow). In these results, we compared the corrosion rate of SnPb and SnCu solders.
