This study was performed to analyze the purity of technical grade ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine, to establish optimal analytical condition of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine and to determine the urine sample of workers exposed to ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine. The purity of technical grade ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine were $96.5{\pm}2.38%$, $94.1{\pm}0.97%$, $97.0{\pm}0.02%$ by gas chromatography-mass selective detector. To analyze ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine, high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector and gas chromatography-electron capture detector operating conditions have been optimized by preliminary expriment. In high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector, the mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile(35%) and water(65%), and the flow rate was maintained at 1.0ml per minute. Optimal detective condition was 9.0V(10nA/V) of electrochemical detector. The recovery of sep-pak treatment method was highly estimated as pretreatment of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine. The free amine was isolated by gas chromatography-electron capture detector after basic hydrosis, sep-pak treatment, toluene elution and HFBA(heptafluoro-butyric anhydride) derivatization of urine. The recovery of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine was $98.73{\pm}3.29%$ by gas chromatography-electron capture detector. The sensitivity was more higher than that of high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemical detector. Urinary ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine was detected in only one worker among nine workers. The level of ${\alpha}$-naphthylamine in urine was 6.42 ng/ml.

The porosity (including the specific surface area and pore volume-diameter distribution) of montmorillonitic soft rock (MSR) was studied experimentally with an electrochemical treatment, based on which the change in porosity was further analyzed from the perspective of its electrokinetic potential (${\zeta}$ potential) and the isoelectric point of the electric double layer on the surface of the soft rock particles. The variation between the ${\zeta}$ potential and porosity was summarized, and used to demonstrate that the properties of softening, degradation in water, swelling, and disintegration of MSR can be modified by electrochemical treatment. The following conclusions were drawn. The specific surface area and total pore volume decreased, whereas the average pore diameter increased after electrochemical modification. The reduction in the specific surface area indicates a reduction in the dispersibility and swelling-shrinking of the clay minerals. After modification, the ${\zeta}$ potential of the soft rock was positive in the anodic zone, there was no isoelectric point, and the rock had lost its properties of softening, degradation in water, swelling, and disintegration. The ${\zeta}$ potential increased in the intermediate and cathodic zones, the isoelectric point was reduced or unchanged, and the rock properties are reduced. When the ${\zeta}$ potential is increased, the specific surface area and the total pore volume were reduced according to the negative exponent law, and the average pore diameter increased according to the exponent law.

본 연구에서는 전기이중층 커패시터의 전극 활물질로 사용되는 페놀계 활성탄소의 비 정전용량의 증가를 위하여 붕산을 이용하여 표면처리를 수행하였다. 또한, 붕산 처리가 전기화학 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 활성탄소의 붕산 처리는 활성탄소의 표면에 전기화학적 특성 향상에 도움이 되는 퀴논형 관능기(O=C)의 비율을 효과적으로 증가시켰으며, 비표면적과 총 기공 부피 및 미세공 부피를 증가시켰다. 최적의 조건으로 붕산 처리된 활성탄소는 미처리활성탄소에 비해 비 정전용량이 약 20% 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 활성탄소의 붕산 처리는 활성탄소의 비 정전용량을 효과적으로 증가시킬 수 있다고 사료된다.

흑연 분말을 프탈로시아닌 또는 구리 프탈로시아닌과 함께 비활성 분위기에서 각각 열처리하여 표면처리를 진행하였고, 이의 속도특성과 저온 작동특성을 조사하였다. 표면처리 후 흑연 분말의 표면에 비정질 탄소와 구리의 코팅 층이 균일하게 형성되었다. 표면처리를 통하여 흑연 전극의 속도특성이 개선되는 것을 확인하였는데, 특히 구리 프탈로시아닌으로 처리한 경우 속도특성의 향상이 두드러졌다. 흑연 전극의 저항을 교류 임피던스와 펄스 저항측정법을 활용하여 조사하였는데, 구리 프탈로시아닌으로 처리된 흑연 전극의 경우가 저항이 가장 작았다. 프탈로시아닌으로 부터 유도된 비정질 탄소 층이 리튬이온의 확산을 용이하게 하고, 구리 프탈로시아닌으로부터 유도된 금속상태의 구리는 전자 전도도를 증가시키기 때문에 저항을 감소시키는 것으로 판단된다.

도시의 산업화와 인구의 빠른 증가로 인해, 지구상에서 여전히 7억 8천만명이 물자원 사용에 어려움을 격고 있으며, 이에 따라 깨끗하고 저렴한 물자원 확보 방안에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 그러나, 현존하는 폐수처리 시스템은 낮은 공정효율, 높은 운영비용, 그리고 넓은 부지 요구 등의 다양한 이슈에 직면하여 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 저렴하고 효율적인 폐수 처리 시스템의 개발이 시급히 요구된다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로 rutile type $RuO_2$를 기반으로 한 DSA전극을 이용한 전기 화학적 방법에 기초한 폐수 처리 시스템을 제안하였고, 이를 성공적으로 시연하였다. 우리의 폐수 처리 시스템은 생활폐수의 경우, 생화학적 산소 요구량 (BOD), 화학적 산소 요구량 (COD) 및 총 유기탄소 (TOC) 제거 효율이 52.0 %, 77.8 % 및 65.6 % 로 우수한 특성을 보였다. 또한 축산 폐수의 경우, BOD, COD, 총 질소 (TN), 총 인 (TP)의 제거 효율이 각각 92.9 %, 75.6 %, 35.1 %, 100 %로 획기적인 감축 효과를 거두었습니다. 이 장치의 탁월한 제거 효율과 작은 크기를 고려할 때, rutile $RuO_2$로 코팅된 DSA를 사용한 전기화학적 폐수 처리는 생활 및 축산 폐수의 처리를 위한 유망한 방안이 될 수 있음을 제안하고자 합니다.

Petal-like nickel cobaltite ($NiCo_2O_4$)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites with different $rGO-to-NiCo_2O_4$ weight ratios were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and subsequent thermal treatment. In the $NiCo_2O_4/rGO$ composite, the $NiCo_2O_4$ 3-dimensional nanomaterials contributed to the improvement of electrochemical properties of the final composite material by preventing the restacking of the rGO sheet and securing ion movement passages. The composite structure was examined by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The FE-SEM and TEM images showed that petal-like $NiCo_2O_4$ was supported on the rGO surface. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used for the electrochemical analysis of composites. Among the prepared composites, $0.075g\;rGO/NiCo_2O_4$ composite showed the highest specific capacitance of $1,755Fg^{-1}$ at a current density of $2Ag^{-1}$. The cycle performance and rate capability of the composite material were higher than those of using the single $NiCo_2O_4$ material. These nano-structured composites could be regarded as valuable electrode materials for supercapacitors that require superior performance.

Even though 304 low-carbon (304L) stainless steel was developed to enhance the resistance to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, it is occasionally subject to degradation in harsh environments. The degree of sensitization (DOS) of 304L stainless steel was studied as a function of sensitization using a double-loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (DL-EPR) method. Sensitizing heat treatment was performed in an Ar atmosphere at 500℃, 600℃, and 700℃, with heat treatment times varying from 0 to 96 h. DOS was measured by the ratio of the peak current density value of the forward scan to that of the reverse scan. After the EPR experiment, the specimen surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The DOS of the specimens heat-treated at 600℃ increased with heat treatment times up to 48 h and then decreased due to a self healing effect. The DOS was higher in specimens heat-treated at 600℃ than those at 500℃ or 700℃. Corrosion of the sensitized specimens occurred mainly at the δ-γ phase boundary. The corrosion morphology at the δ-γ phase boundary changed with sensitizing heat-treatment conditions due to differences in chromium activity in γ austenite and δ ferrite.

Alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts have been widely studied for improving the efficiency and green hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting. Transition metal-based electrocatalysts have emerged as promising materials that can significantly reduce the hydrogen production costs. Among the available electrocatalysts, transition metal-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have demonstrated outstanding OER performance owing to the abundant active sites and favorable adsorption-desorption energies for OER intermediates. Currently, cobalt doped nickel LDHs (NiCo LDHs) are regarded as the benchmark electrocatalyst for alkaline OER, primarily owing to the physicochemical synergetic effects between Ni and Co. We report effects of heat-treatment of the as-grown NiCo LDH on electrocatalytic activities in a temperature range from 250 to 400℃. Electrocatalytic OER properties were analysed by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The heat-treatment temperature was found to play a crucial role in catalytic activity. The optimum heat-treatment temperature was discussed with respect to their OER performance.
