In this study, nano-crystallized $Al_2O_3$ was coated on the surface of $LiFePO_4$ powders via a novel dry coating method. The influence of coated $LiFePO_4$ upon electrochemical behavior was discussed. Surface morphology characterization was achieved by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), clearly showing nano-crystallized $Al_2O_3$ on $LiFePO_4$ surfaces. Furthermore, it revealed that the $Al_2O_3$-coated $LiFePO_4$ cathode exhibited a distinct surface morphology. It was also found that the $Al_2O_3$ coating reduces capacity fading especially at high charge/discharge rates. Results from the cyclic voltammogram measurements (2.5-4.2 V) showed a significant decrease in both interfacial resistance and cathode polarization. This behavior implies that $Al_2O_3$ can prevent structural change of $LiFePO_4$ or reaction with the electrolyte on cycling. In addition, the $Al_2O_3$ coated $LiFePO_4$ compound showed highly improved area-specific impedance (ASI), an important measure of battery performance. From the correlation between these characteristics of bare and coated $LiFePO_4$, the role of $Al_2O_3$ coating played on the electrochemical performance of $LiFePO_4$ was probed.

In the present study, we suggest a new way to reactivate performance of direct formic acid fuel cell (DFAFC) and explain its mechanism by employing electrochemical analyses like chronoamperometry (CA) and cyclic voltammogram (CV). For the evaluation of DFAFC performance, palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) are used as anode and cathode catalysts, respectively, and are applied to a Nafion membrane by catalyst-coated membrane spraying. After long DFAFC operation performed at 0.2 and 0.4 V and then CV test, DFAFC performance is better than its initial performance. It is attributed to dissolution of anode Pd into $Pd^{2+}$. By characterizations like TEM, Z-potential, CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, it is evaluated that such dissolved $Pd^{2+}$ ions lead to (1) increase in the electrochemically active surface by reduction in Pd particle size and its improved redistribution and (2) increment in the total oxidation charge by fast reaction rate of the Pd dissolution reaction.

순환 전압-전류 그림에서 루비안산의 전기화학적 행동을 조사해 보면, 루비안산은 두 개의 환원 봉우리가 나타나는데, 첫번째 봉우리는 $S^{2-}$ 봉우리와 일치하므로 HgS 생성에 의한 환원 봉우리이며, 두번째 봉우리는 매우 약하며 확인되지 않았다. 시차 펄스 음극 벗김 전압-전류법으로 미량의 루비안산을 정량하는 방법을 고찰하였다. 루비안산의 정량을 위하여 pH 10.0, 붕산염 완충용액을 사용하였고, 최적 조건은 붕산염 완충용액의 농도 0.05M, 축적전위 -0.30V, 축적시간 120초, 그리고 주사속도 10mV/sec이다. 이 때 루비안산의 검출 한계는 $2.7{\times}10^{-8}M$이다.

An electrochemical evaluation on the corrosion resistance for heavy anticorrosive paint(DFT:25um) was carried out for 5 kinds of heavy anticorrosive paints such as high solid epoxy(HE), solvent free epoxy(SE). tar epoxy(TE), phenol epoxy(PE). and ceramic epoxy(CE). Corrosion current densities obtained by Tafel extrapolation method from anodic and cathodic polarization curves didn't correspond with the values obtained by AC impedance measurement, however, the values of polarization resistance obtained from the cyclic voltammogram showed a good tendency corresponding well with the values of AC impedance measurement. Futhermore there was a good correlation against the corrosion resistance evaluation between passivity current density of the anodic polarization curve and diffusion limiting current density of the cathodic polarization curve. And corrosion resistance increased with corrosion potential shifting to noble direction. From the results discussed above. HE and CE had a relatively good corrosion resistance than other heavy anticorrosive paints.

전기화학적 환원 반응을 이용하는 전기 분해에 의한 방법으로 중금속 폐수를 처리하여 금속성분을 회수하는데 있어 cyclic voltammetry를 적용하였다. 아연용액에서의 아연전극과 탄소전극에 대한 전기적 반응 특성은 voltammogram으로 확인할 수 있었으며 수중 아연이온 환원은 전위가 -0.76V 이하에서 반응이 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 용액 중 아연이온의 산화와 환원으로 인해 형성되는 금속 특성은 X선 회절분석 결과를 통해서 확인할 수 있었으며, AFM 이용하여 구리판에 환원된 아연을 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 전기분해에 의한 폐수 중 중금속의 처리 및 회수에 있어 기초자료로 활용죌 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서 CSA로 도핑된 EB와 LEB 형태의 폴리아닐린 필름을 ITO전극위에 m-cresol, chloroform 혼합용액을 도포시켜 제조하였다. UV 실험결과로부터 m-cresol에 의한 이차 도핑 효과를 확인 할 수 있었으며, m-cresol의 양이 증가할수록 폴리아닐린 필름의 전도도는 증가하였다. 폴리아닐린의 전기화학적 실험결과 LEB로 제작된 폴리아닐린 전극의 산화$\cdot$환원 피크 전류는 EB로 제작된 폴리아닐린 전극보다 더 크고 가역적인 것을 CV를 통해 구할 수 있었다. 또한 전하전달 저항은 m-cresol의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, LEB/CSA전극의 전하 전달 저항 갈이 EB/CSA 전극보다 작았다.

Nitrogen (N)-doped protein-based carbon as platinum (Pt) catalyst supports from tofu for oxygen reduction reactions are synthesized using a carbonization and reduction method. We successfully prepare 5 wt% Pt@N-doped protein-based carbon, 10 wt% Pt@N-doped protein-based carbon, and 20 wt% Pt@N-doped protein-based carbon. The morphology and structure of the samples are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron micro scopy, and crystllinities and chemical bonding are identified using X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The oxygen reduction reaction are measured using a linear sweep voltammogram and cyclic voltammetry. Among the samples, 10 wt% Pt@N-doped protein-based carbon exhibits exellent electrochemical performance with a high onset potential of 0.62 V, a high $E_{1/2}$ of 0.55 V, and a low ${\Delta}E_{1/2}=0.32mV$. Specifically, as compared to the commercial Pt/C, the 10 wt% Pt@N-doped protein-based carbon had a similar oxygen reduction reaction perfomance and improved electrochemical stability.

Hydrothermal 방법에 의해 준비된 $SnO_{2}$ 나노구조의 Pt의 구조적 특징을 알아보기 위해 X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) 을 통해서 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 $Pt/SnO_{2}$ 나노구조 촉매의 cyclic voltammogram(CV) 통해서 전기화학적 특정을 알아보았다. XRD와 TEM 결과를 통해서 $SnO_{2}$의 나노결정성 입자의 크기는 121 nm임을 확인할 수 있었고 작은 입자가 서로 뭉쳐지면서 핵을 형성한 후 입자의 크기가 점차 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 Pt 촉매의 나노결정성 입자의 크기는 4 nm로 확인하였다. 또한 $SnO_{2}$에 Pt촉매의 결정성 입자의 구성이 잘 형성되었음을 확인하였고, 전기화학적 분석을 통해서는 에탄올 산화환원반응과 다결정 Pt의 존재를 확인하였다. 특히 에탄올에 대한 산화반응의 특성을 보이며, 이는 $SnO_{2}$의 에탄올산화반응용 지지체로써의 가능성을 의미한다.

We carried out this experiment to observe an electrochemical properties for LB films of alkyl compounds by the cyclic voltammetry. Alkyl bromides was deposited by using the Langmuir- Blodgett method on the ITO glass. We measured to an electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system(an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode) in 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 N $NaClO_4$ solution. A measuring range was reduced from initial potential to -1350 mV, continuously oxidized to 1650 mV. The scan rate were 100 mV/s. As a result, an electrochemical properties of the LB films of alkyl bromides appeared irreversible process caused by only the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. The diffusivity(D) effect of LB films decreased with increasing of alkyl compounds amount.

We investigated the electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of functionalized polyimide. LB films of polyimide monolayer were deposited by the Langmuir-Blodgett method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured by cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system(an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode) at various concentrations(0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 N) of $NaClO_4$ solution. The current of reduction and oxidation range was measured from 1650 mV to -1350 mV, continuously. The scan rates were 50, 100 and 150 mV/s, respectively. As a result, monolayer and multilayer LB films of polyimide are appeared on irreversible process caused by the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram.
