Hydrogen could be produced from any substance containing hydrogen atoms, such as water, hydrocarbon (HC) fuels, acids or bases. Hydrocarbon fuels couold be converted to hydrogen-rich gas through reforming process for hydrogen production. Even though fuel cell have high efficiency with pure hydrogen from gas tank, it is more beneficial to generate hydrogen from city gas (mainly methane) in residential application such as domestic or office environments. Thus hydrogen is generated by reforming process using hydrocarbon. Unfortunately, the reforming process for hydrogen production is accompanied with unavoidable impurities. Impurities such as CO, $CO_2$, $H_2S$, $NH_3$, and $CH_4$ in hydrogen could cause negative effects on fuel cell performance. Those effects are kinetic losses due to poisoning of electrode catalysts, ohmic losses due to proton conductivity reduction including membrane and catalyst ionomer layers, and mass transport losses due to degrading catalyst layer structure and hydrophobic property. Hydrogen produced from reformer eventually contains around 73% of $H_2$, 20% or less of $CO_2$, 5.8% of less of $N_2$, or 2% less of $CH_4$, and 10ppm or less of CO. Most impurities are removed using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process to get high purity hydrogen. However, high purity hydrogen production requires high operation cost of reforming process. The effect of carbon dioxide on fuel cell performance was investigated in this experiment. The performance of PEM fuel cell was investigated using current vs. potential experiment, long run (10 hr) test, and electrochemical impedance measurement when the concentrations of carbon dioxide were 10%, 20% and 30%. Also, the concentration of impurity supplied to the fuel cell was verified by gas chromatography (GC).

The purpose of this research is to develop the lithium secondary battery. This paper describes the preparation, electrochemical properties of nontstoichiometric(NS)-$V_6O_{13}$ and characteristics of Li/$V_6O_{13}$ secondary battery. NS-$V_6O_{13}$ was prepared by thermal decomposition of $NH_4VO_3$ under Ar stream of 140ml/min~180ml/min flow rate. And then, this NS-$V_6O_{13}$ was used for cathode active material. Cathode sheet was prepared by compressing the composite of NS-$V_6O_{13}$, acetylene black(A.B) and teflon emulsion (T.E). Characteristics of the test cell are summarised as follows. Oxidation capacity of NS-$V_6O_{13}$ was about 20% less than its reduction capacity. A part of NS-$V_6O_{13}$ cathode active material showed irreversible reaction in early charge-discharge cycle. This phenomena seems to be caused by irreversible incoporation/discoporation of lithium cation to/from NS-$V_6O_{13}$ host. Discharge characteristics curve of Li/$V_6O_{13}$ cell showed 4 potential plateaus. Charge-discharge capacity was declined in the beginning of cycling and slowly increased in company with increasing of coulombic efficiency. Energy density per weight of $V_6O_{13}$ cathode material was as high as 522Wh/kg~765Wh/kg.

In this work, we developed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiols on gold that can release amine groups, when an electrical potential was applied to the gold. The strategy was based on the introduction of the electroactive carbamate group, which underwent the two-electron oxidation with simultaneous release of the amine molecules, to alkanethiols. The synthesis of the designed thiol compounds was achieved by coupling isocyanate-containing compound with hydroquinone. The electroactive thiols were mixed with hydroxyl-containing alkanethiol [$HS(CH_2)_{11}OH$] to form mixed monolayers, and cyclic votammetry was used for the characterization of the release. The mixed SAMs showed a first oxidation peak at +540 mV (versus Ag/AgCl reference electrode), demonstrating irreversible conversion from carbamate to hydroqinone with simultaneous release of the amine groups. The second and third cycles showed typical reversible redox reaction of hydroquinone and quione: the oxidation and reduction occurred at +290 mV and -110 mV, respectively. The measurement of ToF-SIMS further indicates that electrochemical-assisted chemical reaction successfully released amine groups. This new SAM-based electrochemistry would be applicable for direct release of biologically active molecules that contain amine groups.

본 연구에서는 철도차량의 차축소재로 사용되는 RSA1 소재에 대한 해수 부식특성 평가를 하였다. 미국재료시험협회에서 규정한 ASTM-D1141에 해당하는 인공해수를 사용하여 3전극 셀 구조를 이용한 동전위 분극법과 임피던스 분광법을 바탕으로 산출된 부식전류밀도와 부식속도는 각각 $18.3{\mu}A/cm2$와 0.217 mm/yr이다. 이 결과에 따르면 철도차량의 일반적인 내구연한인 25년을 가정할 때 한 면에서의 차축부식량은 5mm정도로 예상된다. 패러데이법칙을 바탕으로 한 정전류 부식 가속화 시험을 통해 1,3,4년의 부식양을 인위적으로 형성하였고, 단면적 감소분을 고려하여 인장시험을 시행하였다. 탄성구간에서는 부식에 의한 기계적 특성변화가 관찰되지 않았지만 소재의 연성 값은 부식이 진행 될수록 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 해수환경에서 사용될 철도차량 설계 시 고려할 기초 부식데이타로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

글루코스 옥시다아(GOx)제 고정화 바이오센서를 두 가지 방법으로 제조 하였다. 첫 번째 방법은 폴리(maleic anhydride) 그래프트 탄소나노튜브(PMAn-g-MWCNT) 전극에 감마선 조사법으로 제조 된 Au 나노입자를 물리적으로 흡착시킨 후, GOx을 고정화 시켜 바이오센서를 제조한 경우이고, 다른 하나는 PMAn-g-MWCNT 전극에서 Au 이온을 전기화학적으로 환원시켜 Au 나노입자를 코팅 시키고, 그 위에 GOx을 고정화 시켜 바이오센서를 제조 한 경우이두. 제조된 바이오센서에 대해 효율 평가를 수행 하였는데, 물리적 흡착법으로 제조된 전극의 경우 검출 범위는 $30\;{\mu}M\sim100\;{\mu}M$이었으며, 검출한계는 $15\;{\mu}M$이었다. 또한 ascorbic acid와 uric acid에 대한 검출한계는 7.6%이었다. 물리적으로 Au 나노입자가 흡착된 전극의 경우가 글루코스 측정에 매우 우수한 전극임을 확인 하였다.

This work was carried out to improve the performance of anodic electrocatalysts in direct ethanol fuel cell(DEFC). PtRu and $Pt_5Ru_4M$(M= Ni, Sn, Mo and W) electrocatalysts were prepared by using a $NaBH_4$ reduction method. Alloy crystal structure and particle size of electrocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The XRD analysis of the electrocatalysts revealed that the face-centered cubic(fcc) peaks shifted to slightly higher diffraction angles when third metals were added. Average size of the uniform particles was observed to be approximately $3{\sim}3.5\;nm$ from the TEM image. The electrochemical measurements were carried out in the solution 1M $H_2SO_4$ and 1M $C_2H_5OH$ at room temperature. Cyclic-voltammogram results showed that $Pt_5Ru_4W$ electrocatalyst exhibited much higher current density for ethanol oxidation of $2.73\;mA/cm^2$ than PtRu electrocatalyst of $0.73\;mA/cm^2$.

Borate 완충용액에서 Al의 부식과 부동화에 관하여 변전위법, 대 시간 전류법 그리고 다중 주파수 전기화학적 임피던스 측정법으로 조사하였다. 공기 또는 산소의 영향은 환원과정에 영향을 주었지만 산화반응에는 영향을 미치지 못 하는 것으로 보인다. 부동화 영역에서 생성되는 피막의 전기적 성질은 Mott-Schottky 식이 적용되는 n-type 반도체 성질을 보였다. 낮은 전극전위에서 생성되는 Al의 산화피막은 Al(OH)₃로 충분한 부동화 효과를 보이지 못하나, 전극전위가 증가하면서 Al₂O₃로 변하였다. Al₂O₃ 피막은 “전기장에 의한-이온의 이동” 과정에 의하여 성장하는 것으로 보인다.

In this article, we have designed and synthesized a novel donor-${\pi}$-acceptor (D-${\pi}$-A) type porphyrin-based sensitizer (denoted UI-5), in which a carboxyl anchoring group and a 9,9-dimethyl fluorene were introduced at the meso-positions of porphyrin ring via phenylethynyl and ethynyl bridging units, respectively. Long alkoxy chains in ortho-positions of the phenyls were supposed to reduce the degree of dye aggregation, which tends to affect electron injection yield in a photovoltaic cell. The cyclic voltammetry was employed to determine the band gap of UI-5 to be 1.41 eV based on the HOMO and LUMO energy levels, which were estimated by the onset oxidation and reduction potentials. The incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency of the UI-5 DSSC assembled with double-layer (20 nm-sized $TiO_2$/400 nm-sized $TiO_2$) film electrodes appeared lower upon overall ranges of the excitation wavelengths, but exhibited a higher value over the NIR ranges (${\lambda}$ = 650-700 nm) compared to the common reference sensitizer N719. The UI-5-sensitized cell yielded a relatively poor device performance with an overall conversion efficiency of 0.74% with a short circuit photocurrent density of $3.05mA/cm^2$, an open circuit voltage of 0.54 mV and a fill factor of 0.44 under the standard global air mass (AM 1.5) solar conditions. However, our report about the synthesis and the photovoltaic characteristics of a porphyrin-based sensitizer in a D-${\pi}$-A structure demonstrated a significant complex relationship between the sensitizer structure and the cell performance.
