Nickel-matal hydride(Ni-MH) batteries are receiving attention as non-pollunting. high performance rehargeable energy stoage system. The performance of Ni-Mh is significantly influenced by the hydrogen storage alloy materiels used as an anode material. Recently, having discharge capacities higher than the $AB_5$-type hydrogen storage alloys, the Zr-based $AB_2$-Type hydrogen storage alloys has remaining problems regarding cycle life and self-dischareg. These problems need to be solved by improvements in the alloy design and/or surface treatment. This work investiggates the effects the effects of surface property by fluorination on $Zr_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}V_{0.4}Mn_{0.4}Ni{1.2}$ composittion $AB_2$-Type hydrogen storage alloys. EPMA, SEM and AES techniques were used for surface analysis, and the crystal structure was characterized by constant current cycling test and potential sweep methods. Fluorination was found to be effective when La-was incorporated into the alloy, and has unique morphology, higher reactivity, and at the same time formed a protective film. Through, fluorination, the cycle life of an electrode was found to increase significantly, charge/discharge characteristics of the electrode the potential difference between the charge/discharge plateau, i.e polarization(overpotential)were improved.

Electrochemical adsorption always was accompanied with solvent displacement and relative size factor(x) of adsorbate and solvent and hydrogen coverage(${\theta}$) on the lead anodic film electrode formed in phosphoric acid in NaCl solution and the sea water at $15{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ were studied by means of constant current-potential method and potentiodynamic cathodic polarization method. In this experiment, various constants and thermodynamic quantities calculated from the hydrogen coverage were also described to explain the reactivities of di-iso-butylnitrosoamine(DBNA) and proton ($H^+$) according to the changes of interactions between solute and solvent in the bulk phase and interphase. It was investigated that the average values of relative size factor and the coverage of hydrogen atoms studied with the electrode of lead anodic film formed in phosphoric acid solution in 60mM DBNA+0.5M NaCl and in 60mM DBNA+$6\%0$ sea water were about 11.0 and 0.2 respectively. Hydrogen evolution was electrochemical mechanism because of substitutional adsorption of aromatic substance with their delocalization of electrons, but in the case of non-charge transfer adsorption of aliphatic substance(DBNA) interacting relatively little with the electrode, it was combination mechanism.

Sr0.9Bi2+xTa2O9(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) thin films on IrO2/SiO2/Si or Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate were prepared by spin coating method using SBT stock solutions synthesized by MOD process. SBT thin films on IrO2 transformed to layered perovskite phase at $700^{\circ}C$, but showed low breakdown voltage due to their porous microstructure. The smaple of Sr0.9Bi2+xTa2O9 composition showed the best dielectric and electrical properties. When the sample of the same composition was annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$, the dielectric and electric properties were improved due to the grian growth and dense surface. the remanent polarization values(2Pr) at $\pm$3 V for IrO2 and Pt electrodes were 10.5, 7.15$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The SBT thin film with IrO2 electrode showed the lower coercive field. The leakage current density and breakdown voltage of SBT thin films on IrO2 were higher than those on Pt.

In this paper, in-situ deposited Ru/RuO$_2$ bottom electrodes have been investigated as new bottom electrodes for PZT thin film capacitor application. As a comparison, structural and electrical properties of PZT thin films on Pt/Ti and RuO$_2$ bottom electrodes are also investigated. The use of Ru/RuO$_2$ hybrid electrodes showed better electrical properties in compression with RuO$_2$ bottom electrode. With increasing Ru electrode thickness, the PZT thin films showed preferred orientation along the (110) direction and leakage current of PZT thin films were improved. The PZT thin films on Ru (100nm)/RuO$_2$ electrodes exhibited excellent ferroelectric properties such as remant polarization and coercive field of 7.2 C/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 46.35 kV/cm, respectively.

Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) based on solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have gained an immense recognition in the present world due to their unique properties. This study is about preparing and characterizing EDLCs using a natural rubber (NR) based SPE with natural graphite (NG) electrodes. NR electrolyte was consisted with 49% methyl grafted natural rubber (MG49) and zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate ((Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂-ZnTF). It was characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test, dc polarization test and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test. NG electrodes were made using a slurry of NG and acetone. EIS test, cyclic voltammetry (CV) test and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) test have been done to characterize the EDLC. Optimized electrolyte composition with NR: 0.6 ZnTF (weight basis) exhibited a conductivity of 0.6 x 10^-4 Scm^-1 at room temperature. Conductivity was predominantly due to ions. The electrochemical stability window was found to be from 0.25 V to 2.500 V. Electrolyte was sandwiched between two identical NG electrodes to fabricate an EDLC. Single electrode specific capacitance was about 2.26 Fg^-1 whereas the single electrode discharge capacitance was about 1.17 Fg^-1. The EDLC with this novel NR-ZnTF based SPE evidences its suitability to be used for different applications with further improvement.

Pb(Zr$_{0.8}$Ti$_{0.2}$)O$_3$강유전체 음극의 상부 전극 크기를 변화시키며(500$mu extrm{m}$~900$\mu\textrm{m}$)비대칭 전극 구조에서의 전자 방출에 대하여 연구하였다. 펄스 전기장을 가했을 때 나타나는 분극 반전에 의한 전류 밀도는 상부 전극 크기를 감소시킴에 따라 증가하였다. 이것은 비대팅 전극 구조에 의해 강유전체 표면에서 stray-field가 발생하고, stray field가 전극의 모서리 부근의 강유전체 표면 하부에도 분극 반전을 발생시켰기 때문이다. 전기장 전산모사를 통하여 이러한 stay-field의 존재 가능성을 예측할 수 있었고, 분극 반전에 의한 전류 밀도 측정 결과 stray-field가 미치는 거리는 약 11-l4$\mu\textrm{m}$이었다. 전자방출의 문턱전계는 항전계 의 약 3배인 61-68kV/cm이었으며, 문턱전계가 단순히 강유전체의 항전계에 의해 결정되는 것이 아니라, 강유전 음극의 구조에 의해 결정되는 stray-field의 세기와 stray-field가 미치는 거리에 영향을 받음을 전산모사를 통해 예측할 수 있었다.

알칼리형 연료전지의 수소극을 제작하기 위해 니켈을 사용하였다. 분극곡선을 측정한 결과 최적의 전해질 농도와 운전온도 조건은 6N KOH와 $80^{\circ}C$였다. 다양한 양의 PTFE 현탁액을 첨가하며 제조한 수소극에서의 전도도와 겉보기기공도 및 전류밀도를 비교한 결과 10wt%의 PTFE를 첨가하는 경우가 가장 적당함을 알았다. CO 화학흡착량으로부터 표면적을 구했으며 10wt%의 PTFE를 침적시키고 $340^{\circ}C$에서 소결시켜 제조한 수소극의 경우 $200mA/cm^2$ 이상의 전류밀도를 나타내었다. 전극의 표면구조를 SEM으로 관찰하였고 cold pressing, hot pressing, rolling 및 calendering 방법 등의 전극제작방법에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 고찰하였다.

The reliability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) particularly depends on the high quality of solid oxide electrolytes. The application of thinner electrolytes and multi electrolyte layers requires a more reliable characterization method. Most of the investigations on thin film solid electrolytes have been made for the parallel transport along the interface, which is not however directly related to the fuel cell performance of those electrolytes. In this work an array of ion-blocking metallic Ti/Au microelectrodes with about a $160{\mu}m$ diameter was applied on top of an ultrathin ($1{\mu}m$) yttria-stabilized-zirconia/gadolinium-doped-ceria (YSZ/GDC) heterolayer solid electrolyte in a micro-SOFC prepared by PLD as well as an 8-${\mu}m$ thick YSZ layer by screen printing, to study the transport characteristics in the perpendicular direction relevant for fuel cell operation. While the capacitance variation in the electrode area supported the working principle of the measurement technique, other local variations could be related to the quality of the electrolyte layers and deposited electrode points. While the small electrode size and low temperature measurements increaseed the electrolyte resistances enough for the reliable estimation, the impedance spectra appeared to consist of only a large electrode polarization. Modulus representation distinguished two high frequency responses with resistance magnitude differing by orders of magnitude, which can be ascribed to the gadolinium-doped ceria buffer electrolyte layer with a 200 nm thickness and yttria-stabilized zirconia layer of about $1{\mu}m$. The major impedance response was attributed to the resistance due to electron hole conduction in GDC due to the ion-blocking top electrodes with activation energy of 0.7 eV. The respective conductivity values were obtained by model analysis using empirical Havriliak-Negami elements and by temperature adjustments with respect to the conductivity of the YSZ layers.

The purpose of this study was to observe corrosion characteristics of six dental amalgams and was to analyse corrosion products electrochemically. After each amalgam alloy and Hg was triturated as the direction of the manufacturer by using mechanical amalgamator, the triturated mass was inserted into the cylinderical metal mold ($12{\times}10mm$) and was condensed with 160kg/$cm^2$ by using the hydrolic press. The specimen was removed from the mold and was stored at room temperature for 1 week, and was polished with amalgam polishing kit. The anodic and cathodic polarization curve was obtained by using cyclic voltammetric method with 3-electrode potentiostat in saline for each amalgam and Ag, Sn, Cu plate specimen at $37{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$. The potential sweep range was -1.7V~0. 4V(vs SCE) in working electrode and scan rate was 50mV/s and the exposed surface area of each specimen to the electrolytic solution was $0.79cm^2$. The results were as follows. 1. In anodic-cathodic polarization curve of amalgam specimens, two anodic current rising areas and two cathodic current peaks were obtained at the low Cu amalgam(CF, CS) specimen and three anodic current rising areas and three cathodic current peaks were obtained at the high Cu amalgam (TY, DS, HV) specimen. 2. As this compared with the anodic and cathodic current peak potentials of Sn, Cu and Ag specimen, the first cathodic current peak I c was caused by the reduction of divalent tin salt, second cathodic current peak IIIc results from the reduction of quadravalent tin salt, and third cathodic current peak me results from the reduction of copper salt. 3. As reverse potential sweeping was done repeatedly, anodic current was decreased slightly in all amalgam specimens.
