  • Stability of a cathode material was determined by Tafel plot in 1 M LiOH solution. The stabilized $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ (x=0.05~0.1) electrode resulted in overpotential of 0.13~0.15 mV at 100 mA. This overpotential was 0.05 mV lower than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ electrode. Conductivity test at various potentials showed that the conductivity of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ was higher than that of the spinel structured $LiMn_2O_4$ and the bulk resistance of $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$ due to the dissolution of $Mn^{2+}$ was lowered.

  • This study performed experiments for measuring corrosion potential and current density variations in the polarzation curves of polyvinylchloride. The results were examined to identify particular influences affectingthe corrosion potential such as temperature, pH, enzyme, and salt. The lines representing active anodic dissolution were only slightly shifted in the potential direction by temperature, pH, enzyme and salt. The Tafel slope for the anodic dissolution was determined using the polarization effect with varying conditions. The slope of the polarization curves describing the active-to-passive transition region was noticeably shifted in the potential direction. In addition, using the variation in conditions, the best temperature and pH were determined for the corrosion rate, and resistance of corrosion. The second anodic current density peak and maximum passive current density were designated as degraded(IP/I0). The value of IP/I0 was used in measuring the extent of the degradation of the polyvinychloride. The potentiodynamic parameters of the corrosion were obtained using a Tafel plot.

  • Experiments were carried out to measure the corrosion potential and current density variations in the polarization curves of polypropylene. In particular, the results were examined to identify those influences affecting the corrosion potential, such as temperature, pH, salt, and oxygen. The Tafel slope for the anodic dissolution was determined based on the polarization effect under various conditions. Furthermore, the optimum conditions for the most rapid transformation were establish based on a variety of conditions, including temperature, pH, corrosion rate, and resistance of corrosion potential. The second anodic current density peak and maximum passive current density were designated as the critical corrosion sensitivity(I(sub)r/I(sub)f). This I(sub)r/I(sub)f value was then used to measure the critical corrosion sensitivity of polypropylene. The potentiodynamic parameters of corrosion were obtained using a Tafel plot.

  • The electrochemical corrosion and passivation of Co-RDE in borate buffer solution was studied by Potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanisms of both the active dissolution and passivation of cobalt and the hydrogen evolution in reduction reaction were hypothetically established while utilizing the Tafel slope, the rotation speed of Co-RDE, impedance data and the pH dependence of corrosion potential. Based on the EIS data, an equivalent circuit was suggested. In addition, the electrochemical parameters for specific anodic dissolution regions were carefully measured. An induction loop in Nyquist plot measured at the open-circuit potential was observed in the low frequency, and this could be attributed to the adsorption-desorption behavior in the corrosion process.

  • In the phosphoric acid based etchant, the dissolution rates of Mo films were measured by microgravimetry and the corrosion potentials of Mo and Al were estimated by Tafel plot method with various concentrations of nitric acid. Dissolution rate of Mo increased with the nitric acid concentration and reached a limiting value at high concentration of nitric acid in ambient condition. Corrosion potentials of Mo and Al shifted to positive direction and the difference between potentials of both metals was about 1,100 mV and 1,200 mV with 1% and above 4% of $HNO_3$, respectively. For a Mo/Al bilayers, the dissolution rate inversion is the main reason for good taper angle in shower etching process. Taper angles are observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) after wet etching process for Mo/Al layered films with different concentrations of $HNO_3$. In the etch side profile, it was found that Al corroded faster than Mo below 4% of $HNO_3$ in dip etching process, however, Mo corroded faster above 4%. Trend for variation of taper angle of etched side of Mo/Al layered film can be explained by considering the effect corrosion rates of both metals with various concentrations of $HNO_3$.

  • In this study, experiments were carried out to measure the variations in the corrosion potential and current density of polarization curves using polycarbonate. The results were particularly examined to identify the influences affecting the corrosion potential including various conditions such as temperature, pH, catalytic enzyme, and salt. The lines representing the active anodic dissolution were only slightly shifted in the potential direction by temperature, pH, enzyme, and salt. The tafel slope for the anodic dissolution was determined based on the polarization effect with various conditions. The slope of the polarization curves describing the active-to-passive transition region were noticeably shifted in direction. Also, from the variation in the conditions, the optimum conditions were established for the most rapid transformation, including temperature, pH, corrosion rate, and resistance of corrosion potential. The second anodic current density peak and maximum passive current density were designated as the critical corrosion sensitivity(Ir/If). The value of Ir/If was then used in measuring the extent of the critical corrosion sensitivity of the polycarbonate. The potentiodynamic parameters of the corrosion were obtained using a Tafel plot.

  • Corrosion of brass coated steel cords in the acetonitrile solution of sulfenamide derivatives, N-Cyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (CBTS), N,N'-Dicyclohexylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (DCBS), N-tert-Butylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (TBBS), N-tert-Amylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (TABS), and N-Oxydiethylbenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (OBTS) was investigated by potentiostatic anodic and cathodic polarization (Tafel plot), DC polarization resistance, and AC impedance measurements. The corrosion current densities and rates are 1.236 ${\mu}A /cm^2$ and 0.655 MPY for CBTS; 1.881 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ and 0.988 MPY for DCBS; 2.367 ${\mu}A/cm^2$ and 1.257 MPY for TBBS; 3.398 ${\mu}A /cm^2$ and 1.809 MPY for TABS, respectively. OBTS among derivatives under study shows the lowest corrosion density (0.546 ${\mu}A /cm^2$) and the slowest corrosion rate (0.288 MPY). Also, the charge transfer resistances and the double layer capacitances are 275.21 $k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and 7.0 ${\mu}F{cdot}cm^{-2}$ for CBTS; 14.24 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^2$ and 26 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for DCBS; 54.15 $k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and 26 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for TBBS; 0.96$k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and 83 ${\mu}F{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ for TABS, respectively. The weaker the electron donating inductive effect of derivatives is and the smaller the effect of steric hindrance is, the more the corrosion of brass coated steel cords in the acetonitrile solution of sulfenamide derivatives is prevented. The above results agree with that observed in the field of tire industry.

  • The corrosion of reinforcement is a very important factor on the serviceability and safety of reinforced concrete structures. The corrosion rate influences directly the cover failure time of reinforced concrete structures because the corrosion rate is used to estimate the amount of corrosion and thus expansive pressure due to corrosion. In this study, several series of experiments are performed considering the chloride concentration in artificial pore solution. The potentials are measured according to the applied current density and then corrosion current densities are obtained from the Tafel plot for various chloride concentrations. The measured corrosion rates show good correlation with those of other researchers.

  • The voltammetic behavior of Vitamin B6 (VB6) was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in phosphate buffers using cyclic, linear sweep and differential pulse voltammetry. The oxidation process was shown to be irreversible over the entire pH range studied (4.0-10.0) and was adsorption controlled. The adsorption amount of VB6 on the glassy carbon electrode was examined by chronocoulometry and the value of n, product of transfer coefficient and number of electrons transferred in the rate determining step, was determined from Tafel plot. VB6 was determined by differential pulse voltammetry and the peak current was found linearly with its concentration in the range of 3 10-7-2 10-4 mol L-1. The detection limit was 1 10-7 mol L-1. The procedure was successfully applied for the assay of VB6 in tablets.

  • 알루미늄 합금의 종류중 하나인 ADC12는 가공성이 좋고 가격이 저렴하기 때문에 산업의 많은 분야에 이용할 수 있지만 양극산화를 진행할 시 합금의 주요 구성성분인 실리콘(Si)으로 인해 균열(Crack)이 생기는 문제가 발생하여 이에 따라 균일한 산화막이 생성되지 않다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이 단점을 극복하기 위해 양극산화를 진행할 때 금속 음이온 성분이 첨가된 전해질을 이용하면 실리콘이 떨어져 나간 부분을 자가치료(Self-healing)할 수 있어 피막의 경도를 포함한 각종 특성이 증가하는 결과를 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ADC12를 양극산화할 때 황산 수용액을 기본 전해질로 하여 전해질에 타이타늄(Ti), 마그네슘(Mg), 몰리브덴(Mo)이 포함되어 있는 금속 음이온 물질을 첨가하였고, 금속 음이온 전해질의 농도와 양극산화 진행 시간을 변수로 하여 제조한 산화막의 전기화학적 특성을 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope), Tafel plot, 그리고 Microvickers hardness tester를 통해 평가하였다.
