Deposition behaviors of Sr and Cs in various liquid cathodes, such as Zn, Bi, Cd, and Pb, were examined to evaluate their recovery from LiCl-KCl eutectic salt. Cations in the salt were deposited on the liquid cathode, exhibiting potential of -1.8 to -2.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Zn cathode had successful deposition of Sr and exhibited the highest recovery efficiency, up to 55%. Meanwhile, the other liquid cathodes showed low current efficiencies, below 18%, indicating LiCl-KCl salt decomposition. Sr was recovered from the Zn cathode as irregular rectangular SrZn₁₃ particles. A negligible amount of Cs was deposited on the entire liquid cathode, indicating that Cs was hardly deposited on liquid cathodes. Based on these results, we propose that liquid Zn cathode can be used for cleaning Sr in LiCl-KCl salt.

이 연구에서는 일반적인 음극부 한 개에 양극부 한 개로 구성된 single-cathode 미생물연료전지(SCMFC)와 음극부 한 개에 양극부 두 개로 이루어진 dual-cathode 미생물연료전지(DCMFC)를 이용하여 전류발생에 비치는 영향을 확인하였다. 이 결과 dual-cathode 미생물연료전지에서 single-cathode 미생물연료전지 보다 전류발생이 약 40% 높았으며 COD 제거율도 약 13% 더 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이것은 양극부와 음극부의 접촉면적이 증가하여 양극반응속도가 향상된 것에 의한 것으로 판단되며 dual-cathode 미생물연료전지가 single-cathode보다 전류발생과 COD제거 측면서 더 효율이 높은것으로 나타났다. 음극부 전자수용체에 대한 영향 실험에서는 전자수용체로 사용된 질산성질소의 농도가 높아질수록 급격히 전류발생이 감소하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 이에 대한 적절한 처리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

An evaluation method for oxygen permeable characteristics of the membrane covering to each cathode of multiple cathode - single anode type dissolved oxygen sensor, which has high reproducibility and is capable of measuring multiple components in solutions. For this purpose, a measuring circuit for the multiple cathode type DO sensor was designed to lower the noise signal by adapting a digital LPF to readout the sensor output accurately. Digital LPF is designed by setting up the transfer function to set the cutoff frequency to 10Hz, and the transfer function is programmed by C language, and then the filtering characteristics are evaluated with the simulation and experiments. Using this LPF added measuring circuit for the multiple cathode type DO sensor, we have obtained the calibration factor for each cathode to calibrate the variation of the output signals. The calibration factor was obtained by measuring the sensor output signal followed by oxygen partial pressure, using the same oxygen permeable membrane at each cathode of the multiple cathode type DO sensor.

This paper describes an environmentally friendly process for the recovery of $LiFePO_4$ cathode materials from scrap electrodes by a simple thermal treatment method. The active materials were easily separated from the aluminum substrate foil and polymeric binders were also decomposed at different temperatures ($400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$) for 30 min under nitrogen gas flow. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The electrochemical properties of the recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode were evaluated by galvanostatic charge and discharge modes. The specific charge/discharge capacities of the recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode were similar to those of the original $LiFePO_4$ cathode. The $LiFePO_4$ cathode material recovered at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibits a somewhat higher capacity than those of other recovered materials at high current rates. The recycled $LiFePO_4$ cathode also showed a good cycling performance.

We have investigated the effect of hole-injection buffer layer and cathodes in organic light-emitting diodes u sing poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly (stylenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) in a device structure of $ITO/PEDOT:PSS/TPD/Alq_3/Cathode$. Polymer PEDOT:PSS buffer layer was made using spin casting method. Current-voltage, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature with a variation of cathode materials. The device with LiF/Al cathode shows an improvement of external quantum efficiency approximately by a factor of ten compared to that of Al cathode only device. Our observation shows that the energy barrier-height in cathode side is important in improving the efficiency of the organic light-emitting diodes.

In this study, a $Li_2ZrO_3$ coated $Li[Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}]O_2$ (NCA) cathode was applied to an all-solid-state cell employing a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. Sulfide-based solid electrolytes are preferable for all-solid-state cells because of their high ionic conductivity and good softness and elasticity. However, sulfides are very reactive with oxide cathodes, and this reduces the stability of the cathode/electrolyte interface of all-solid-state cells. $Li_2ZrO_3$ is expected to be a suitable coating material for the cathode because it can suppress the undesirable reactions at the cathode/sulfide electrolyte interface because of its good stability and high ionic conductivity. Cells employing $Li_2ZrO_3$ coated NCA showed superior capacity to those employing pristine NCA. Analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy confirmed that the $Li_2ZrO_3$ coating layer suppresses the propagation of S and P into the cathode and the reaction between the cathode and the sulfide solid electrolyte. These results show that $Li_2ZrO_3$ coating is promising for reducing undesirable side reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface of all-solid-state-cells.

용융탄산염 연료전지(MCFC)의 양극으로 사용되는 NiO는 $650^{\circ}C$의 용융탄산염과 산소 분위기 조건에서 안정하고 높은 전기 전도도를 가지는 장점이 있다. 그러나, 장시간 운전 시 양극에서 전해질로의 Ni dissolution은 전지 내부의 단락을 초래하여 전지의 수명을 단축시킨다. 본 연구에서는 대체 전극물질로서 코발트와 나이오븀을 코팅시킨 NiO 전극을 제조하였으며, 이렇게 제조된 전극은 기존 NiO전극과 비교하여 낮은 Ni dissolution과 안정되고 우수한 전기화학 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

Beta rays emitted from tritium in titanium tritide film were simulated with cathode rays of a scanning electron microscope to investigate the effect of beta rays from tritium on semiconductor devices. The cathode ray currents, which vary with the change of applied energy and beam spot size, were measured with Faraday cup. The current from the semiconductor device irradiated with cathode rays at various conditions was measured. The cathode ray current increased with the increase of spot size to a maximum then decreased when the spot sized increased further. The magnitude of current produced in the semiconductor device is proportional to the magnitude of cathode ray current. The magnitude of cathode ray current at each energy level was matched to the intensity of beta ray to simulate the tritium beta ray spectrum. Then the semiconductor characteristics were analyzed with I-V curves.

고분자 막 성능 평가 및 내구성 평가에 이용하기 위해 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC) 구동 중에 수소 크로스오버 측정이 필요하다. 수소 크로스오버 측정 시에 불활성 기체 대신에 공기를 cathode에 공급하면서 기체 크로마토그래프로 수소 농도를 cathode 출구에서 분석하였다. PEMFC 구동 중 고분자 막을 통과한 수소는 cathode에서 산소와 반응해 불활성 가스를 공급할 때에 비해 수소 농도가 감소하였다. cathode 공기 공급 유량이 증가하면 수소 농도가 감소했고, 셀의 온도와 습도, 압력이 증가하면 cathode의 수소 농도는 증가했다. 일반적인 PEMFC 구동 조건에서 $120mA/cm^2$ 전류밀도에서 수소농도는 약 5.0 ppm이었다.
