본 실험에서는 리튬이차전지의 고용량 음극활물질로 주목받는 Si 합금의 부피팽창을 억제하기 위한 방법의 하나인 비활성-matrix상을 이용하고, 상태도를 이용하여 동일한 용량을 발현하는 Si계 이원계 합금 (Cr-Si, Ni-Si) 조성에서의 미세구조 및 전기화학적 특성을 비교/분석하였다. 급속응고공정(Rapid Solidification Process, Melt-spinning법)를 이용하여 동일조건하에서 리본 모양의 합금을 제작하였고, 제작된 리본합금은 동일조건에서 분쇄하여 X-선회절 (X-Ray Diffraction) 분석을 실시하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 상태도에서 예측된 것과 같이, 두 합금 모두 Si 상 및 비활성-matrix상($CrSi_2$ 및 $NiSi_2$)이 관찰되었으며, 이외의 제3의 상은 관찰되지 않았다. 또한, 주사전자현미경(SEM, Scanning Electron Microscope) 및 투과전자현미경-에너지분산분광법(TEM-EDS, Transmission Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy)으로 미세구조를 살펴본 결과 Cr-Si 합금의 미세구조가 Ni-Si 합금보다 fine한 것을 알 수 있었고 이것은 상태도로부터 예측 가능하였다. 두 합금 조성에서 미세구조에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 비교 평가하기 위해 코인형 하프셀과 풀셀로 충방전 실험을 진행하였고 이와 별도로, 전극의 두께변화 측정이 가능하게 설계된 시험셀을 이용하여 반응 중 Si의 수축팽창을 측정하였다. coarse한 미세구조를 가진 Ni-Si 합금보다 fine한 미세구조를 갖는 Cr-Si 합금의 전극팽창이 비교적 잘 억제됨을 확인하였고, 충방전에 따른 수명 내구성도 우수함을 확인하였다. 이런 결과들로부터 합금의 조성에 따른 미세구조, 체적변화 및 전기화학적 열화와의 연관성을 유추할 수 있었다.

Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) is an electrochemical energy device which converts the free energy of fuel gas directly to electric energy. SOFC has several diratinct advantages over other types of fuel cells: no use of noble metals, no requirement of a reformer, no problem of liquid electrolyte management, and no problem of corrosion by liquid electrolyte. In this study, we have investigated the cell components and the single cell of the planar SOFC fabricated by composite plate process, in which green films of electrolyte, anode and cathode were co-fired. The planar SOFCs were tested and the cell performance characteristics wag evaluated by using electrochemical methods.

Pyroprocessing uses various molten salts during electrochemical unit processes. Reaction products after the electrochemical processes must contain a significant amount of residual salts to be separated. Vacuum distillation is a common method to separate the residual salts; however, its high operation temperature may cause side reactions. In this study, a simple rotation technique using centrifugal force was suggested to separate the residual salts from the reaction products at relatively low temperature compared to the distillation technique. When a reaction product container with porous wall rotates inside a vessel heated above the melting point of the residual salt, the residual salt in the liquid phase is separated through centrifugal force. It was shown that the $LiNO_3-Al_2O_3$ mixture can be separated by this technique to leave solid $Al_2O_3$ inside the container, with a separation efficiency of 99.4%.

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer or alkaline electrolyzer is required to produce green hydrogen using renewable energy such as wind and/or solar power. PEM and alkaline electrolyzer differ in many ways, instantly basic materials, system configuration, and operation characteristics are different. Building an optimal water hydrolysis system by closely grasping the characteristics of each type of electrolyzer is of great help in building a safe hydrogen ecosystem as well as the efficiency of green hydrogen production. In this study, the basic operation characteristics of a kW class alkaline water electrolyzer we developed, and water electrolysis efficiency are described. Finally, a brief overview of the characteristics of PEM and alkaline electrolyzer for large-capacity green hydrogen production system will be outlined.

Supercapacitors, also known as electrochemical capacitors, are being extensively studied due to an increasing demand for energy-storage systems. These devices offer many advantages over conventional secondary batteries, which include the ability of fast charge propagation, long cycle-life and better storage efficiency. That is to say supercapacitor bridges the gap between conventional capacitors and batteries. A new type electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) also called supercapacitors. Recently, supercapacitors concerns about their high power density and energy density. So we experiment with EDLC by using carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and DAAQ(1,5-diaminoanthraquinone) electrode. The electrode for supercapacitor was prepared by synthesis of DAAQ covered CNFs. CNFs could be covered with very thin DAAQ oligomer from the results of CV, XRD, DSC, SEM images, and TEM images. Dissolved electrode active material in NMP solution has been drop-coated on carbon plate. Its electrochemical characteristics were investigated by cyclic voltammograms. And compared with different electrolyte of aqueous type. As a result, CNFs coated by DAAQ composite electrode showed relatively good electrochemical behaviors with respect to specific capacity and scan rate dependency.

Intensive studies on the electrochemical characteristics of TiFe type alloy electrodes have been carried out to clarify the mechanism of electrochemical hydrogen absorption and desorption. It was found that electrochemical activation of the TiFe type alloys is difficult and that charge efficiencies are very low even after a decade of activation cycles. However, by the pretreatment of the powders such as gas activation and/or Ni chemical plating, charge efficiencies fairly increased, especially for the $TiFe_{0.8}Ni_{0.2}$ alloy. It was considered that difficulties to activation and lower charge efficies of the alloys are due to the presence of the passivation films, which prohibit inward diffusion of hydrogen and promote the combination of adsorbed hydrogen atom to gas bubbles during the electrochemical charge. In addition, lower diffusivity of hydrogen in the alloys may be played an important role lowering the charge efficiencies.

Background: Experiments with small electrochemical apparatus were previously carried out for detecting low-energy neutrinos under irradiation of reactor neutrinos and under natural neutrino environment. The experimental result indicated that the output current of reactor-neutrino irradiated detector was appreciably larger than that of natural environmental one. Usual interaction cross-sections of neutrinos are quite small, so that they do not explain the experimental result at all. Materials and Methods: To understand the experimental data, we propose that some biological products may generate AV-type scalar field B0, leading to a large interaction cross-section. The output current generation is ascribed to an electrochemical process that may be assisted by weak interaction phenomena. Dissolved oxygen concentrations in the detector solution were measured in this study, for the purpose of understanding the mechanism of the detector output current generation. Results and Discussion: It was found that the time evolution of experimental output current was mostly reproduced in simulation calculation on the basis of the measured dissolved oxygen concentration. Conclusion: We mostly explained the variation of experimental data by using the electrochemical half-cell analysis model based on the DO concentration that is consistent to the experiment.

$TiO_2$ nanoparticles (NPs) with a diameter of 100 nm were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal route at $220^{\circ}C$ and then processed for a possible alternate cathode catalyst material in the lithium-oxygen batteries. It was found that when $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were utilized as cathodes, substantial improvements in the discharge capacity, cycle ability, rate capability and low overpotential were observed. This can be attributed to its high catalytic activity and large surface area.
