나노입자에 의한 세라믹 코팅은 제품의 방청, 내식, 내마모성을 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 내열성을 향상시키는 데에도 효과적인 성능을 보이고 있다. 특히 지르코니아(YSZ), 산화알루미늄($Al_2O_3$), 이산화 타이타늄($TiO_2$) 등과 같이 차열 성능이 우수한 세라믹 계열을 이용한 TBC(Thermal Barrier Coating)은 이미 항공기 엔진부품이나 고성능 베어링과 같이 고온에서도 우수한 성능을 유지해야 하는 기계부품에 보편적으로 사용되어 오고 있는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 차열서능이 우수한 세라믹 소재를 이용해 건축물에 많이 사용되고 있는 목재에 난연성능의 향상을 목적으로 세라믹 나노코팅을 하였을 때 목재의 연소특성이 어떻게 변화하는가를 관찰 및 분석하였다.

Coating materials used in the electron beam (EB) deposition method, which is being studied as one of the fabrication methods of thermal barrier coating, are exposed to high power electron beam at focused area during the EB deposition. Therefore the coating source for EB process is needed to form as ingot with appropriate density and microstructure to sustain their shape and stable melts status during EB deposition. In this study, we tried to find the optimum powder condition for fabrication of ingot of 8 wt% yttria stabilized zirconia which can be used for EB irradiation. It seems that the ingot, which is fabricated through bi-modal type initial powder mixture which consists of tens of micro and nano size particles, was shown better performance than the ingot which is fabricated using monolithic nanoscale powder when exposed to high power EB.

In order to comply with demand for high efficient gas turbines operating at higher temperatures, considerable amounts of research efforts have been performed with searching for the next-generation thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with respect to coating materials as well as processing methods. In this study, thermal barrier coatings in the $(La_{1-x}Gd_x)_2Zr_2O_7$ system, which is one of the most versatile materials replacing yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), are fabricated by suspension plasma spray with suspension made of synthesized powders via solidstate reaction. Dense, $100{\sim}400{\mu}m$ thick coatings of fluorite-phase zirconate with moderate amount of segmented microstructures are obtained by using suspension plasma spray. Phase formation and thermal diffusivity are characterized with coating compositions. The feasibility of $(La_{1-x}Gd_x)_2Zr_2O_7$ coatings for TBC applications is also discussed.

Gadolinium zirconate, $Gd_2Zr_2O_7$, is one of the most promising candidates for replacing yttira-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) in thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications due to its low thermal conductivity and chemical stability at high temperature. In this study, rare-earth zirconate ceramics in the $GdO_{1.5}-ZrO_2$ system with reduced gadolinia contents were fabricated via solid-state reaction as well as hot-pressing at $1800^{\circ}C$. The phase formation, microstructure, and thermo-physical properties of these oxides were examined. The potential application of $GdO_{1.5}-ZrO_2$ ceramics for TBC was also discussed.

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.

To increase the performance of solid oxide fuel cell operating at intermediate temperature ($600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$), $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_2$ (SDC) thin layer was applied to the $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Mn_{0.8}Cu_{0.2}O_3$ (LSMCu) cathode by sol-gel coating method. The SDC was employed as a diffusion barrier layer on the yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) to prevent the interlayer by-product formation of $SrZrO_3$ or $La_2Zr_2O_7$. The by-products were hardly formed at the electrolyte-cathode interlayer resulting to reduce the cathode polarization resistance. Moreover, SDC thin film was coated on the cathode pore wall surface to extend the triple phase boundary (TPB) area.

STS444 with or without $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}MnO_3$ (LSM)-coating was contacted to $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_3$ (LSCF) cathode on various electrolyte materials and the polarization resistance $(R_p)$ was measured by impedance spectroscopy. By making a symmetric half-cell and contacting only one side of the cathode with the interconnect, the effect of chromium (Cr) poisoning was separated from the aging effects. When the LSCF cathode was contacted with LSM-coated STS (stainless steel), $R_p$ of LSCF was lower than that contacted with the uncoated STS. Impedance patterns measured for the working electrode (W.E.), the counter electrode (C.E.) at $600^{\circ}C$ in air were analyzed. Normalized data of net Cr effect showed that $Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_2$ (GDC) electrolyte is more tolerant to the chromium poisoning than $La_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2}$ (LSGM) or 8 mol% $Y_2O_3-doped$ $ZrO_2$ (YSZ) electrolytes.

고체산화물연료전지(SOFC) cell은 cathode, electrolyte 및 cathode층으로 구성되어져 있는데, 이 cell의 적층은 EVD, CVD, sputtering등의 기상공정과 screen printing, tape casting, dip coating등의 습식 공정으로 제조한다. 적층 공정의 경우 supports의 크기와 형태에 따라 적용에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적층공정의 문제점을 해결코자 전사지를 제조하여 평관형 anode supports 위에 적층하여 cell을 제조하였다. 전사지를 이용한 적층방법은 매우 간단하고 두께와 형상제어가 쉽게 가능하였다. 본 연구를 상세히 언급하면 평관형 anode 지지체를 압출법을 통해 제작하였고, 반소된 지지체 위에 anode function layer와 electrolyte(YSZ)층을 형성한 후 $1400^{\circ}C$ 동시 소결하여 치밀한 전해질 층을 형성하였다. 그 후 cthode층을 형성한 후, $1200^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 소결하여 porous한 전극층을 형성하여 cell을 제작하였다. 그 후 Anode supporter위에 전사지를 이용하여 적층한 경우 cell 소결정도를 SEM으로 관찰하였고, 전기화학특성으로는 출력과 분극저항을 측정하였다. 이를 통해 새로운 구성소재 증착방법 즉 전사지를 이용하는 방법을 개발하였다.

For the development of low temperature anode-supported planar solid oxide fuel cell, the planar anode supports with the thickness of 0.8 to 1 mm and the area of 25, 100 and $150\;cm^2$ were fabricated by the tape casting method. The strength, porosity, gas permeability and electrical conductivity of the planar anode support were measured. The porosity of anode supports sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ and then reduced in$H_2$ atmosphere was increased from $45.8\%\;to\;53.9\%$. The electrical conductivity of the anode support was $900 S/cm\;at\; 850^{\circ}C$ and its gas permeability was 6l/min at 1 atm in air atmosphere. The electrolyte layer and cathode layer were fabricated by slurry dip coating method and then had examined the thickness of $10{\mu}m$ and the gas permeability of 2.5 ml/min at 3 atm in air atmosphere. As preliminary experiment, cathode multi-layered structure consists of LSM-YSZ/LSM/LSCF. At single cell test using the electrolyte layer with thickness of 20 to $30{\mu}m$, we achieved $300\;mA/cm^2$ and 0.6V at $750^{\circ}C$
