한국에너지기술연구원에서는 중온 ($700{\sim}800^{\circ}C$) 작동용 연료극 지지체 평관형 SOFC 스택을 구성하는 단위 번들을 개발했다. 연료극 지지체 평관형 셀은 Ni/YSZ 서밋 연료극 지지체 튜브, 8몰% $Y_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$ (YSZ) 전해질, $LaSrMnO_3$ (LSM)과 LSM-YSZ composite 및 $LaSrCoFeO_3(LSCF)$로 구성된 다중층 공기극으로 구성됐다. 제조된 연료극지지체 평관형 셀은 유도 브레이징 법에 의해 페리틱 (ferritic) 금속 캡에 접합됐고, 공기극의 전류집전을 위해 공기극 외부에 Ag 선 및 $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}CoO_3(LSCo)$ paste를 이용했으며, 연료극의 전류집전은 Ni felt, wire, 그리고 paste를 이용했다. 단위 번들을 만들기 위한 연료극 지지체 평관형 셀의 반응 면적은 셀 당 $90\;cm^2$ 이었으며, 2개의 셀이 병렬로 연결되어 1개의 단위 번들이 됐고, 총 12개의 단위 번들이 직렬로 연결되어 스택을 구성한다. 공기 및 3%의 가습된 수소를 산화제 및 연료로 사용한 단위 번들의 운전 결과 최대 성능은 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $0.39\;W/cm^2$의 출력이 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 연료극 지지체 평관형 SOFC 셀의 기본 기술과 KIER 만의 독특한 연료극 지지체 평관형 SOFC 스택을 구성하는 단위 번들의 개념을 확립할 수 있었다.

In this study, we fabricated tubular ceramic support for segmented-in-series solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) by using MAO(MgAl-stabilized ) as main material and activated carbon as pore former. Thermal expansion properties of ceramic support with different amounts of activated carbon were analyzed by using dilatometer to decide a suitable sintering temperature. The tubular ceramic supports with different amounts of activated carbon (15, 20, 30wt.%) were fabricated by the extrusion technique. After sintering at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 2h, cross section and surface morphology of tubular ceramic support were analyzed by using SEM image. Also, the porosity, mechanical property, gas permeability of tubular ceramic supports was measured. Based on these results, we established the suitable fabrication technique of tubular ceramic support for segmented-in-series SOFC.

PEMFC has high potential for future development due to its high energy density, eco-friendliness, and high energy efficiency. When it becomes small, light and flexible, it can be competitive as an energy source for portable devices or flexible electronic devices. However, the use of hard and heavy materials for structural rigidity and uniform contact pressure transmission has become an obstacle to reducing the weight and flexibility of PEMFCs. This review intends to provide an example of the application of a new structure and material for lightweight and flexibility. As a lightweight PEMFC, a tubular design is presented and structural advantages through numerical modeling are explained. Manufacturing methods to realize the structural advantages and possibilities of tubular PEMFCs are discussed. In addition, the materials and manufacturing processes used to fabricate lightweight and flexible PEMFCs are described and factors affecting performance are analyzed. Strategies and structural improvements of light and flexible movements are discussed according to the component parts.

This study was undertaken to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of ATP depletion-induced membrane transport dysfunction and cell death in renal proximal tubular cells. ATP depletion was induced by incubating cells with 2.5 mM potassium cyanide(KCN)/0.1 mM iodoacetic acid(IAA), and membrane transport function and cell viability were evaluated by measuring $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake and trypan blue exclusion, respectively. ATP depletion resulted in a decrease in $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake and cell viability in a time-dependent manner. ATP depletion inhibited $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake in cells, when treated with 2 mM ouabain, a $Na^+$ pump-specific inhibitor, suggesting that ATP depletion impairs membrane transport functional integrity. Alterations in $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake and cell viability induced by ATP depletion were prevented by the hydrogen peroxide scavenger such as catalase and the hydroxyl radical scavengers(dimethylthiourea and thiourea), and amino acids(glycine and alanine). ATP depletion caused arachidonic acid release and increased mRNA levels of cytosolic phospholipase $A_2(cPLA_2)$. The ATP depletion-dependent arachidonic acid release was inhibited by $cPLA_2$ specific inhibitor $AACOCF_3$. ATP depletion-induced alterations in $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake and cell viability were prevented by $AACOCF_3$. Inhibition of $Na^+$-dependent phosphate uptake by ATP depletion was prevented by antipain and leupetin, serine/cysteine protease inhibitors, whereas ATP depletion-induced cell death was not altered by these agents. These results indicate that ATP depletion-induced alterations in membrane transport function and cell viability are due to reactive oxygen species generation and $cPLA_2$ activation in renal proximal tubular cells. In addition, the present data suggest that serine/cysteine proteases play an important role in membrane transport dysfunction, but not cell death, induced by ATP depletion.

서식수 염분농도의 변화에 따른 guppy(Poecilia reticulotus) 아가미 상피내 염소세포(chloride cell)의 미세구조적 변화를 전자현미경으로 관찰하고, 특히 증가하는 염분농도에 따라 주요변화를 보여주는 염소세포내 미토콘드리아와 tubular system의 면적을 영상 분석기로 측정하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 염소세포는 주로 guppy 아가미궁의 일차 총판상피에 위치하는데 담수에서는 하나씩 독립적으로 존재하며 자유면이 apical pit를 형성하여 외부환경에 노출되는 반면. 서식수의 염분농도가 증가하면 여러개의 염소세포들이 다세포복합체를 형성하고 이 세포들의 자유면이 함께 하나의 apical pit를 구성하게 된다. 서식수의 염분농도가 증가함에 따라 염소세포내의 미토콘드리아와 tubular system은 점점 더 조밀하게 분포하는 것으로 관찰되었다 염소세포의 단위면적당 미토콘드리아가 차지하는 면적은 서식수가 담수(0%의 염분농도)인 경우는 24$\pm$5%였고, 1%에서는 26$\pm$5%, 2%에서는 33$\pm$7% 그리고 해수(3.2% 염분농도)에 적응된 경우는 42$\pm$7%로 담수환경의 것과 비교하여 약 18%까지 증가하였다 또한 염소세포의 측면과 기저측 세포막 함입의 결과로 형성되는 tubular system은 세포의 단위면적당 차지하는 면적이 담수에 적응된 개체들에서 38$\pm$9%였고 서식환경의 염분농도에 따라 점차 증가하다가 해수에서는 61$\pm$9%로 약 16%까지 높아졌다.

This study was conducted to investigate the production of lipid, and removal of nitrogen and phosphorus from swine wastewater by Botryococcus braunii UTEX 572 in a tubular bioreactor. The rate of dry cell weight increase of B. braunii was highest at 20.1mg/l/din a modified Chu 13 medium at $25^{\circ}C$. Under the above conditions, the rate of lipid content increase was also highest at 6.1mg/l/d. The lipid content of B. braunii on a dry weight basis ranged from 30.5 to 34.1% with an average value of 32.3%. When B. braunii was cultured in a secondary-treated swine wastewater diluted to 50% with tap water, the rate of dry cell weight increase was 18.6mg/l/d and the rate of lipid content increase was 6.0mg/l/d. The lipid content ranged from 30.3 to 34.2%. No significant difference was observed between lipid content and growth conditions. The removal rates of nitrogen and phosphorus in swine wastewater were 43.9% and 41.7%, respectively, after 14 days of incubation.

This paper presents the characterization of micro-tubular SOFCs using three different anode current collecting methods of inlet current collection (IC), both current collection (BC) and total current collection (TC). The maximum power densities of SOFCs at $750^{\circ}C$ using IC, BC and TC were 56 mW/$cm^2$ (0.43 V, 0.13 A/$cm^2$), 236 mW/$cm^2$ (0.43 V, 0.55 A/$cm^2$) and 261 mW/$cm^2$ (0.43 V, 0.61 A/$cm^2$) respectively. It was confirmed by impedance spectroscopy that both the polarization resistance and the ohmic resistance were dramatically increased at SOFC with IC.

As a preliminary experiment for the development of anode-supported tubular cell with proper porosity, we have investigated the anode substrate and the electrolyte-coated anode tube. The anode substrate was manufactured as a function of carbon content in the range of 20 to 50 vol.%. As the caron content increased, the porosity of the anode substrate increased slightly and the carbon content with proper porosity was obtained at 30 vol.%. The anode tube was fabricated by extrusion process and the electrolyte layer was coated on the anode tube by slurry dipping process. The anode-supported tube was cofired successfully. Their sintered property and microstructure were examined and the porosity of the anode tube was 35%. From the gas permeation test, the anode tube was found to be porous enough for gas supply. On the other hand, the anode-supported tube with electrolyte layer indicated a very low gas permeation rate. This means that the coated electrolyte was dense. Based upon these experimental results. we will fabricate and test the anode-supported tubular cell.
