The electrochemical properties of novel metal powders were investigated for the electrode materias of polymer electrolyte memebrane electrolysis. Two types of Pt black and $IrO_2$ powder electrodes were hot-pressed on the polymer electrolyte membrane to form membrane electrode assembly. The galvanodynamic polarization methode was used to characterize the electrochemical properties of both electrodes. From the experimental results, we concluded that the $IrO_2$ powder electrode exhibits better electrochemical performance than Pt black as cathode material for the electrolysis.

This study has made the electrode that is coated zirconium oxide on the titanium by ESD(Electrostatic spray deposition) coating methode. It has investigated the effects of the etching method of a Ti substrate as the preparation, making of zirconium oxide film and electrochemical characteristics of the electrode that is etched on the titanium. The HCl etching develops a fine and homogeneous roughness on the Ti substrate. Fabrication and material properties of the metal oxide electrode, which is known to be so effective to generate ozone and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as power oxidant, were studied. A proper metal oxide material is focus zirconium oxide through reference. A coating method to enhance the fabrication reproducibility of the zirconium oxide electrode was used ESD coating method by zirconium oxychloride. Zirconium oxide films on the Ti substrate were tested using SEM, XRD, Cyclic voltammetry.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) consist of oxidation semiconduction electrode, electrolyte and counter electrode. Among these, Pt as counter electrode of DSC plays a role in helping redox reaction of iodine ions in electrolyte, also, transferring electrons into electrolyte. In this case, it is expected that characteristics of Pt electrodes strongly depend on fabrication process and its surface condition. In this study, electrochemical behavior of the electro-plated Pt electrode was compared with that of the sputtered Pt electrode, using cyclic-voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy (PARSTATE 2273, by AMETEK). Surface morphology of Pt electrode was investigated by AFM (XE-100, by PSIA). As a result, it was considered that electrochemical properties of sputtered Pt electrode is superior to that of electro-plated Pt electrode.

We studied electrochemical properties of $TiO_2$ photoelectrode based graphene for dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSC). Gaphene has good electric conductivity and it is very good transparent when this is coated on monolayer. we prepared photoelectrode by squeeze methode and researched photoelectrical properties of $TiO_2$ electrode base gaphene. DSSC based on graphene was obtained conversion efficiency of 5.4% under irradiation of AM 1.5(100 $mWcm^2$).

Metal sulfides are good candidates for cathode materials. Especially, iron sulfides and nickel sulfides have been demonstrated to be potential electrode materials among metal sulfides due to nontoxicity and high theoretical specific capacities. Electrochemical properties (capacity, cycle life, stability etc.) of Li/iron sulfides or nickel sulfides cell were improved by methode such as coating, doping of material, and nanoization of materials etc.

We have investigated the $LiMn_2O_4$system as an cathode material for lithium rechargeable batteries. $LiMn_2O_4$spinel oxides have been synthesized by a solid state methode. We varied sintering time at a fixed sintering temperature of 75$0^{\circ}C$. In order to investigate the electrochemical properties of prepared $LiMn_2O_4$we assembled three-electrode cells using the working electrode as active material and Li metal as the counter and reference electrodes. The electrolyte was 1 M LiPE$_{6}$-EC:DEC(1:1 by volume). The particle size of sample synthesized at 75$0^{\circ}C$ ranged about 60$\mu m$. The discharge capacity of a cell involving spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ increased with increasing sintering time.e.

304 stainless steel plate was colored by hot dip and electrochemical treatment in a solution containing sulphuric and chromic acids. In the process, treatment variables such as operating time and methode were changed. The surface characteristics that changed by the treatment of the samples such as surface composition, oxide film thickness, color, surface roughness and reflectivity were studied. Surface composition was varied as follows. Fe was decreased, but Cr and O were increased. Ni was increased until 20 min, but reveals decreasing tendency as time passed after that. These means the surface film becomes chrome rich oxide phase as the treatment times increase. The thickness of film was about 220 nm at 30 min by dip treatment and it reduced as the treatment times increased. On the other hand, the thickness was about 150 nm at 10 min by electrochemical method and it doesn't increased with time. Surface color changed from metallic white of the base plate to gray, black, red, and green-blue, gradually, as the treating time increased. The reflectivity of colored surface measured by UVVIS-NIR spectrophotometer was reduced from max 38% of basis metal to min 3.5%.

Recently, a study on the energy conversion efficiency and up sizing' technology of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) which is focused in considering a new alternative solar cell has been executed. But consideration for the cell characteristics about an internal electronic flow on a large-scaled DSC has not been carried out yet. In this study, we have chosen a solar cell width as a variable of a large-scaled DSCs and confirmed electric characteristics of an individual cell. First, Pt counter electrode surface of DSC is deposited by RF sputtering methode and the electrochemical properties of Pt electrodes was investigated by cyclic -voltammetry. With the Pt electrode, we fabricated DSC samples of different width. As a result, the higher the internal resistance of DSC becomes, the wider the width gets. Internal resistance makes it difficult to collect photoelectron generated from dye. Ultimately up sizing DSC causes the increase of internal resistance and then has a bad effect on the cell characteristics.

In order to calculate the relation between the hydrogen and the hydrogen absorption metals in the atomic level, Embedded Atom Method(EAM) is recommended. In this study, we had constructed the EAM programs from constitutive formulas and parameters of the hydrogen and palladium for the purpose of predicting the expansion behavior on hydrogen absorbing in the geometric shape of hydrogen absorption metals, as palladium bars and plates. And the EAM analyses data were compared with the experiment data by using electrochemical method. As results, it is note that the expansion rate in thickness of the palladium plate model by EAM analyses is about 4 times larger than width and length, be similar to experiment results. Also, in the microscopic and macroscopic level the expansion behavior through EAM analyses show good agreement with experiment data.
