The electrolytic reduction of spent oxide fuel involves the liberation of oxygen in a molten LiCl electrolyte, which results in a chemically aggressive environment that is too corrosive for typical structural materials. It is essential to choose the optimum material for the process equipment handling molten salt. IN713LC is one of the candidate materials proposed for application in electrolytic reduction process. In this study, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) top coat was applied to a surface of IN713LC with an aluminized metallic bond coat by an optimized plasma spray process, and were investigated the corrosion behavior at $675^{\circ}C$ for 216 hours in the molten salt $LiCl-Li_2O$ under an oxidizing atmosphere. The as-coated and tested specimens were examined by OM, SEM/EDS and XRD, respectively. The bare superalloy reveals obvious weight loss, and the corrosion layer formed on the surface of the bare superalloy was spalled due to the rapid scale growth and thermal stress. The top coatings showed a much better hot-corrosion resistance in the presence of $LiCl-Li_2O$ molten salt when compared to those of the uncoated superalloy and the aluminized bond coatings. These coatings have been found to be beneficial for increasing to the hot-corrosion resistance of the structural materials for handling high temperature lithium molten salts.

In the RABiTS approach to coated conductor development, successful (both economic and technological) depends on the refinement and optimization of each of three important components: the metal tape substrate, the buffer layer(s), and the HTS layer. Here we will report on the ORNL approach and progress in each of these areas. - Most applications will require metal tapes with low magnetic hysteresis, mechanical strength, and excellent crystalline texture. Some of these requirements are competing. We report on progress in obtaining a good combination of these characteristics on metal alloys of Ni-Cr and Ni-W. - The deposition of appropriate buffer layers is a crucial step. Recently, base research has shown that the presence of a stable sulfur superstructure present on the metal surface is needed for the nucleation and epitaxial growth of vapor-deposited seed buffer layers such as YSZ, CeO$_2$ and SrTiO$_3$. We report on the details and control of this superstructure for nickel tapes, as well as recent results for Cu and Ni-13%Cr. - Processes for deposition of the HTS coating must economically provide large values of the figure-of-merit for conductors, current x length. At ORNL, we have devoted efforts to a precursor/post-annealing approach to YBCO coatings, for which the deposition and reaction steps are separate. We describe motivation for and progress toward developing this approach. - Finally, we address some issues for the implementation of coated conductors in real applications, including the need for texture control and electrical stabilization of the HTS coating.

Batch type co-evaporation EDDC (Evaporation using Drum in Dual Chambers) system was recently manufactured to fabricate 100m - long SmBCO superconducting coated conductor. As a preliminary study before the fabrication of long tape. short CC samples have been fabricated using the EDDC system and their crystal texture and $I_c$ properties were investigated. $1.2 {\mu}m$-thick SmBCO layers were deposited on $CeO_2/YSZ/CeO_2$ buffered Ni-W tapes. $I_c$ of 128A/cm-w and corresponding $J_c$ of $1.1 MA/cm^2$ at 77K in self-field were obtained for SmBCO CC tape. In-field property of SmBCO CC was confirmed to be better than that of YBCO deposited by PLD.

Modified oxalate method에 의해 합성한 중온형 Solid Oxide Fuel Cell 용 LSCF cathoded의 pH 변화에 따른 분말특성 및 여러 종류의 전해질에 따른 전극특성에 대해 연구하였다. LSCF를 합성하기 위한 출발물질로는 La, Sr, Co 및 Fe의 염화물과 oxalic acid, ethanol 및 $NH_4OH$를 사용하여, $80^{\circ}C$ 에서 pH 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 및 10에서 합성하였다. 합성한 LSCF 분말은 pH $2{\sim}9$까지는 단일상의 LSCF 결정상을 생성하였다. 그러나, PH 10에서는 LSCF결정상 외에 이차상인 $La_2O_3$ 결정상이 나타났으며, 또한 $800^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 하소한 경우 50 nm정도의 작은 크기를 나타내었다. 합성한 LSCF cathode 분말의 전기전도도는 pH 7에서 합성한 LSCF 분말의 경우 $600^{\circ}C$부터 $900^{\circ}C$까지 측정하였을 때 약 950 S/cm의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또한 분극저항의 경우 같은 합성 조건에서 합성한 LSCF 분말이라도 하소조건에 따라 다른 결과를 나타내었는데, $800^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 분말의 경우 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 분말 보다 낮은 분극저항을 나타내었다. 특히 $800^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 하소하여 합성한 LSCF 분말은 $600^{\circ}C$에서 Scandia Stabilized Zirconia (ScSZ), yttria (8mol.%)-stabilized zirconia(8Y-YSZ) 및 Gadolinium Doped Ceria(GDC) 전해질을 사용하였을 때, 전극면적이 $0.5\;cm^2$일 때 각각 2.52, 1.54 및 $2.58\;{\Omega}$을 나타내었다.

페로브스카이트 구조를 갖는 Sr_0.92Y_0.08Ti_1-xV_xO_3-δ (SYTV)는 고체산화물 연료 전지(Solid oxide fuel cell, SOFC)에서 H₂S를 포함하는 연료를 사용하기 위한 대체 연료극으로 연구되었다. Sr_0.92Y_0.08TiO_3-δ (SYT)의 전기화학적 성능을 향상시키기 위해 페로브스카이트의 B-사이트에 위치한 티타늄을 바나듐으로 치환하였다. 페치니법을 통해 합성된 SYTV는 작동 온도 조건에서 추가적인 부산물의 형성 없이 YSZ(yttria-stabilized zirconia) 전해질과 화학적으로 안정했다. 바나듐의 치환량이 증가함에 따라 산소 공공 결함(Oxygen vacancy)이 증가하였으며, 생성된 산소 공공 결함으로 인해 연료극의 이온 전도도가 증가했다. 전지 성능은 850 ℃ 순수한 H₂ 연료 조건에서 바나듐 치환 정도에 따라 1 mol.%의 바나듐이 치환된 경우 19.30 mW/cm² 이고 7 mol.%의 바나듐이 치환된 경우 34.87 mW/cm²이다. 1000 ppm의 H₂S를 포함하는 H₂ 연료조건에서 cell의 최대 전력밀도는 1 mol.%의 경우 22.34 mW/cm²이고 7 mol.%의 경우 73.11 mW/cm²로 증가하였다.

YBCO coated conductor is one of the most promising materials as a new generations wire especially for practical power applications. In this work, $YBa_2$$Cu_3$$O_{7}$ -$\delta$/(YBCO) coated conductors (CC) were deposited by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) from buffer layers to superconducting layer on hi-axially textured metal tape. The oxide multilayer buffered substrate of architectures of $CeO_2$/$YSZ/Y_2$$O_3$ was fabricated by PLD at steady status. Then YBCO layer was deposited on RABiTS substrate by stationary and reel-to-reel (R2R) continuous process and we compared with deposition conditions of both processes. The degree of texture of each layer was investigated using X-ray diffraction including $\theta$-2$\theta$ scans, $\omega$-scans and $\Phi$-scans analysis. Their surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The FWHM of the X-ray $\Phi$-scans and $\Phi$-scans indicated that YBCO and buffer layers closely replicate the in-plane and out-of-plane texture of metal tape. Critical current (Ic) at 77 K, self-field of 75.8 A/cm-width, critical temperature (Tc) of 85 K, and critical current density (Ic) of 3.7 MA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ were measured from coated conductor deposited by stationary process. And coated conductor deposited by R2R continuous process had Ic of 57.5 A/cm-width, Tc of 86.5 K and Jc of 2.0 MA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The film also exhibits a homogeneous and dense surface morphology.

In order to investigate the possibility of using mixed rare earth $(Nd_{1/3}Eu_{1/3}Gd_{1/3})Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (NEG123) as the superconducting layer of the HTS coated conductor, the NEG123 thin film was deposited epitaxialy on LAO(100) single crystal and IBAD_YSZ metal templates by pulsed laser deposition. Systematic studies were carried out to investigate the influences of deposition parameters of PLD on the micro structure, texture and superconducting properties of NEG-123 coated conductor. Deposition at oxygen partial pressure of 600 mTorr was needed to routinely obtain high quality NEG123 films with $J_c$'s (77K) over 2 MA/$cm^2$ and Tc's over 90K (${\Delta}T{\sim}2\;K$). We verified from magnetization study that the NEG123 has an improved in-field Jc as the field increases at temperatures between 10 K and 77 K compared with Gd123. The $J_c$ (77K, self field) and the value of onset $T_c$ of NEG123 thin film on LAO substrate was $4.0MA/cm^2$ and 92K, respectively. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of coated conductors with NEG123 film as the superconducting layer which have Ic and Jc over 40 A/cm-width and 1.6 MA/$cm^2$ at 77K, self field. This study shows the possibility of using NEG123 film as the superconducting layer of the HTS coated conductor which can be used in high magnetic field power electric devices.

열차폐 코팅(Thermal Barrier Coating) 기술의 하나로 연구되는 전자빔(EB, Electron Beam) 증착에 사용되는 코팅재료는 증착 공정 중에 고출력의 전자빔이 조사되기 때문에, 균일코팅을 위해서는 증착 중 코팅재료의 형상유지 및 안정한 융탕 형성이 필요하며, 이를 위해 적절한 밀도와 미세구조를 갖춘 잉곳(Ingot) 형태의 코팅소스가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 8 wt%의 이트리아($Y_2O_3$)가 안정화제로 첨가된 지르코니아(8YSZ) 조성을 활용하여, 고출력 전자빔 조사환경에 사용가능한 잉곳제조를 위해 최적의 원료분말 조건을 확보하고자 하였다. 제조된 잉곳시료들에 대한 전자빔 조사 시, 수십 마이크론과 수십 나노 크기의 입자들로 구성된 혼합형 분말로 제조된 잉곳의 경우, 나노크기의 분말만으로 제조된 경우보다 향상된 열충격 저항성을 보였다.
