해양환경 하에서 강재에 대한 방식 목적으로 Al-3%Mg 용사선재를 이용하여 아크 용사코팅을 실시하였다. 그리고 Al-3%Mg 용사코팅 층의 내식성을 개선하기 위하여 유/무기 복합 세라믹 후처리를 실시하였다. 후처리 적용에 따른 용사코팅 층의 다양한 전기화학적 실험 결과, 양극분극과 음극분극 실험 시 모든 전위구간에서 후처리 적용 시 전류밀도가 작게 나타나 내식성 개선이 확인되었다. 그리고 후처리된 용사코팅 층의 표면에서 관찰된 마이크로 크랙의 영향으로 자연전위 계측 시 심한 전위변동이 나타났으며, 양극분극 실험 시에는 후처리 층의 탈리손상이 용이하게 발생하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 타펠분석을 기반으로 외부 환경차단 효과를 나타내는 코팅 효율이 92.11%로 산출되어 Al-3%Mg 용사코팅 층의 내식성이 향상되었다.

The many vessels are built with FRP(Fiber-Reinforced Plastic) material for small boats and medium vessels. However, FRP is impossible to be used for recyclable material owing to environmental problems and causes large proportion of collision accidents because radar reflection wave is so weak that large vessels could not detect FRP ships during the sailing. Hence, Al alloy comes into the spotlight to solve these kinds of problems as a new-material for next generation instead of FRP. Al alloy ships are getting widely introduced for fish and leisure boats to save fuel consumption due to lightweight. In this study, it was selected 6061-T6 Al alloy which are mainly used for Al-ships and carried out various electrochemical experiment such as potential, anodic/cathodic polarization, Tafel analysis, potentiostatic experiment and surface morphologies observation after potentiostatic experiment for 1200 sec by using the SEM equipment to evaluate optimum corrosion protection potential in sea water. It is concluded that the optimum corrosion protection potential range is -1.4 V ~ -0.7 V(Ag/AgCl) for 6061-T6 Al alloy, in the case of application of ICCP(Impressed current cathodic protection), which was shown the lowest current density at the electrochemical experiment and good specimen surface morphologies after potentiostatic experiment for Al-Mg-Si(6061-T6) Al alloy in seawater environment.

The aims of this study were to determine the corrosion behavior of pure copper in the presence of Desulfovibrio sp. and also to investigate the effects of glutaraldehyde (GD) and isothiazolinone (ISO) on the corrosion behavior of pure copper in the presence of this sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) strain by using electrochemical techniques. Electrochemical measurements of pure copper were carried out at specified time intervals (0, 8, 24, 48, and 96 hr) over a period of exposure. Corrosion rates of pure copper from anodic and cathodic Tafel slopes and corrosion potential ($E_{corr}$) were determined. Biofilm and corrosion products on the copper surfaces were observed by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometry (EDS) analyses. The effects of solution types (PC (Postgate's C medium) and SRB (Desulfovibrio sp.)) and exposure times of copper and biocides (ISO or GD) on the corrosion rates of pure copper were evaluated by statistical analyses. As a result of the FESEM analysis, biofilm formation was observed on the surfaces of pure copper exposed to the Desulfovibrio sp. cultures both with and without the biocides. The results show that the pure copper was corroded by Desulfovibrio sp. However, the addition of GD or ISO to the Desulfovibrio sp. culture resulted in a decrease in the corrosion rate of the pure copper. It was also observed that both of the biocides showed a similar effect on pure copper's corrosion rate caused by Desulfovibrio sp.

water cavitation peening(WCP)은 water jet 과정으로 인한 cavitation이 발생할 때, 금속표면 cavitation 현상에 의해 재료표면의 잔류응력과 경도 등의 물성을 변화시키게 되며, 그로 인해 생긴 잔류 응력으로 재료의 내구성 및 수명을 향상시키는 기술이다. 최근에는 water jet을 이용한 장치들이 건설 분야, 일반기계분야, 컷팅 공정, 분쇄 등 다양한 분야에서도 사용되고있다. 그러나 water jet을 이용한 peening은 소개 된지 20여년이 경과했음에도 불구하고 연구 및 개발 내용은 shot peening에 비해 아직 초기 단계이다. water cavitation peening은 기존의 피닝 방법의 단점을 보완 할 뿐만 아니라 환경적인 측면에서도 그 가치가 크다. 아직은 다른 peening 기법 보다 잔류압축응력 부가 측면에서 그 효과가 떨어지지만, water cavitation peening은 열에 영향을 받는 영역이 생성되지 않으며, 기계의 표면 가공을 하는 동안 어떤 미세한 먼지도 생성하지 않아 친환경적이다. 또한 복잡한 외형을 가지는 부품 및 내면에 적용성이 뛰어나고, 표면 정밀도 저하가 낮다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 조류발전용 블레이드의 재료로 사용하려는 동합금에 대하여 증류수 내에서 water cavitation peening 시간, 거리, 파형 등의 변수를 적용하여 최적 조건을 찾고, 다양한 전기화학적 실험을 실시하였으며, water cavitation peening 부의 부식특성을 평가 하였다. ASTM-G32 규정에 의거하여 압전효과를 용한 진동발생 장치(RB 111-CE)를 이용하여 동합금 표면에 water cavitation peening을 실시하고, 실험 후 표면의 손상거동을 관찰하기 위하여 3D현미경 및 전자주사현미경(SEM)을 사용하였다. 물성치 변화를 확인하기 위하여 SHIMADZU사의 HVM-2 Model의 비커스 경도기를 이용하여 표면 경도값을 측정하였다. 전기화학실험은 각 3회 이상 실시하였으며, Tafel 분석결과로 부식전류밀도와 부식전위의 평균, 부식전위를 알 수 있었고, 음분극 실험결과, 용존산소 환원반응에 의한 농도분극에서 수소가스발생에 의한 활성화 분극으로 진행되는 변곡점을 확일 할 수 있었다.

Hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) was studied over $Ni_4Cr$ nanofibers(NFs) prepared by electrospinning method and oxidation/reduction heat treatment for alkaline water electrolysis. The physicochemical and electrochemical properties such as average diameter, lattice parameter, HER activity of synthesized $Ni_4Cr$ NFs could be modified by proper electrospinning process condition and reduction temperature. It was shown that $Ni_4Cr$ NFs had average diameter from 151 to 273 nm. Also, it exhibited the overpotential between 0.419 V and 0.526 V at $1mA/cm^2$ and Tafel slope of -334.75 mV to -444.55 mV per decade in 1 M KOH solution. These results indicate that $Ni_4Cr$ NFs with reduction heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$ show thinnest diameter and highest HER activity among the other catalysts.

We report on the effect of additives on the microstructure and corrosion properties of electrodeposited Cu films. Copper films were fabricated by electrodeposition on various concentrations of gelatin in a copper sulfate electrolyte. The surface morphologies of the Cu films were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and crystal orientation of the Cu films was analyzed by X-ray diffraction measurement. (220) plane was the dominant orientation when the films were fabricated at ambient temperature, decreasing in dominance with addition of gelatin. On the other hand, (111) plane-Cu films were preferentially grown at $40^{\circ}C$, and were also diminished with adding additives. Corrosion rate measurements using the Tafel extrapolation method based on corrosion potential and current reveal the effect of additives on corrosion behavior. Corrosion behavior was found to be strongly related to the orientation of the films. Consequently, additives like gelatin influence crystal orientation of the films, and if a less dense crystal plane, e.g. (220), is preferentially oriented during electrodeposition, a lower corrosion rate could be produced, since the plane shows a lower current density.

Synergistically increased oxygen evolution reaction (OER) of manganese oxide (MnO₂) catalyst is introduced with surface-modified halloysite nanotube (Fe₃O₄-HNTs) structure. The flake shaped MnO₂ catalyst is attached on the nanotube template (Fe₃O₄-HNTs) by series of wet chemical and hydrothermal method. The strong interaction between MnO₂ and Fe₃O₄-HNTs maximized active surface area and inter-connectivity for festinate charge transfer reaction for OER. The synergistical effect between Fe₃O₄ layer and MnO₂ catalyst enhance the Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ratio by partial replacement of Mn ions with Fe. The relatively increased Mn³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ ratio on MnO₂@FHNTs induced 𝜎^* orbital (e_g) occupation close to single electron, improving the OER performances. The MnO₂@FHNTs catalyst exhibited the reduced overpotential of 0.42 V (E vs. RHE) at 10 mA/cm² and Tafel slope of (99 mV/dec), compared with that of MnO₂ with unmodified HNTs (0.65 V, 219 mV/dec) and pristine MnO₂ (0.53 V, 205 mV/dec). The present study provides simple and innovative method to fabricate nano fiberized OER catalyst for a broad application of energy conversion and storage systems.

The methyl 2-(1,3-dithietan -2- ylidene)-3-oxobutanoate (MDYO) and 2-(1,3-dithietan-2-ylidene) cyclohexane -1,3-dione (DYCD) were synthesized and tested at various concentrations as corrosion inhibitors for 316L stainless steel in 1 M HCl using weight loss, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), surface analysis techniques (SEM / EDX and Raman spectroscopy) and Functional Density Theory (DFT) was also used to calculate quantum parameters. The obtained results indicated that the inhibition efficiency of MDYO and DYCD increases with their concentration, and the highest value of corrosion inhibition efficiency was determined in the range of concentrations investigated (0.01 × 10^-3 - 10^-3 M). Polarization curves (Tafel extrapolation) showed that both compounds act as mixed-type inhibitors in 1M HCl solutions. Electrochemical impedance spectra (Nyquist plots) are characterized by a capacitive loop observed at high frequencies, and another small inductive loop near low frequencies. The thermodynamic data of adsorption of the two compounds on the stainless steel surface and the activation energies were determined and then discussed. Analysis of experimental results shows that MDYO and DYCD inhibitors adsorb to the metal surface according to the Langmuir model and the mechanism of adsorption of both inhibitors involves physisorption. SEM-EDX results confirm the existence of an inhibitor protective film on the stainless steel surface. The results derived from theoretical calculations supported the experimental observation.

Exploring earth-abundant, highly effective and stable electrocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting is urgent and essential to the development of hydrogen (H₂) energy technology. Iron-cobalt layered double hydroxide (FeCo-LDH) has been widely used as an electrocatalystfor OER due to its facile synthesis, tunable components, and low cost. However, LDH synthesized by the traditional hydrothermal method tends to easily agglomerate, resulting in an unstable structure that can change or dissolve in an alkaline solution. Therefore, studying the real active phase is highly significant in the design of electrochemical electrode materials. Here, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are used as template precursors to derive FeCo-LDH from different iron sources. Iron salts with different anions have a significant impact on the morphology and charge transfer properties of the resulting materials. FeCo-LDH synthesized from iron sulfate solution (FeCo-LDH-SO₄) exhibits a hybrid structure of nanosheets and nanowires, quite different from other electrocatalysts that were synthesized from iron chloride and iron nitrate solutions. The final FeCo-LDH-SO₄ had an overpotential of 247 mV with a low Tafel-slope of 60.6 mV dec^-1 at a current density of 10 mA cm^-2 and delivered a long-term stability of 40 h for the OER. This work provides an innovative and feasible strategy to construct efficient electrocatalysts.
