본 연구에서는 음이온 교환막 수전해 시스템에 적용가능성을 확인하고자 상용 음이온 교환막인 FAA-3-50, Neosepta-ASE, Sustainion grade T, Fujifilm type 10의 관련 물성을 평가하였다. 음이온교환막을 이용하는 특성상 음이온교환기의 확인을 위하여 SEM/EDX를 이용하여 상용막의 모폴로지와 표면의 원소를 분석하여 상용막이 포함하고 있는 작용기의 분포를 확인하였다. 또한, UTM과 TGA를 이용하여 기계적 강도 및 열분해온도를 측정하여 수전해의 구동조건을 만족하는지 확인하였다. 음이온 교환막으로서의 성능을 파악하기 위하여 중요한 특성인 이온교환용량과 이온전도도를 측정하였으며, 알칼리 환경에서 구동되기 때문에 각각의 상용막의 내알칼리성을 확인하기 위한 내구성 테스트를 진행하여 비교하였다. 최종적으로 막-전극 접합체를 제조하여 수전해 single cell test를 진행하여 60℃, 70℃, 80℃의 온도 조건에서 cell 성능을 확인하였고 장기 cell test로 다른 온도에서 20 cycle 측정하여 수전해 성능을 비교하여 상용막의 음이온 교환막 수전해에 적용가능성을 비교하여 확인하였다.

Ti/$IrO_2$ 를 양극으로 SUS 316L 을 음극으로 사용한 전기분해 반응조에 간접산화조를 설치하여 간접산화 효과를 제시함으로써 하폐수 재활용 시스템의 설계에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 전기분해 반응조의 운전조건은 극판 간격, 전류 밀도, 전해질 농도에 대한 영향을 조사하여 극판 간격 6 mm, 전류 밀도 1.0 $A/dm^2$ L, 전해질 농도 15%로 설정하였다. 산화에 의한 제거효율은 유기물은 COD로서 직접산화조에서 55%, 간접산화조에서 12.5${\sim}$15.0%의 추가 분해가 일어나고 있으며 T-N (전체 질소량), T-P(전체 인량)는 직접산화조에서 각각 88%, 75%의 제거효율을 나타내고 있으나 COD제거와는 달리 간접산화조의 추가 제거 효과는 거의 없는 것으로 판명되었다. 또한 COD, T-N, T-P의 제거는 2-5일의 반응초기에 일어나고 있기 때문에 전기 분해 반응조의 체류시간을 크게 설계할 필요는 없다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

The electro-chemical decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) in water has been carried out by electro Fenton-like process. The effect of distance, material and shape of electrode, NaCl concentration, current, electric power, $H_2O_2$ and pH have been studied. The results obtained that decrease of RhB concentration of Fe(+)-Fe(-) electrode system was higher than that of other electrode system. The decrease of RhB concentration was not affected electrode distance and shape. Decolorization of electro Fenton-like reaction, which was added $H_2O_2$ onto the electrolysis using electrode was higher than electrolysis. Addition of NaCl decreased the electric consumption. The lower pH is, the faster initial reaction rate and reaction termination time observed.

Zn-air battery uses oxygen from the air, and hence, air holes in it are kept open for cell operation. Therefore, loss of water by evaporation through the holes is inevitable. When the water is depleted, the battery ceases to operate. There are two water consumption routes in Zn-air batteries, namely, active path (electrolysis) and passive path (evaporation and corrosion). Water loss by the active path (electrolysis) is much faster than that by the passive path during the early stage of the cycles. The mass change by the active path slows after 10 h. In contrast, the passive path is largely constant, becoming the main mass loss path after 10 h. The active path contributes to two-thirds of the electrolyte consumption in 24 h of cell operation in 4.0 M KOH. Although water is an important component for the cell, water vapor does not influence the cell operation unless the water is nearly depleted. However, high oxygen concentration favors the discharge reaction at the cathode.

Hydrogen is considered a potential future energy source. Among other applications of hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water is emerging as a new health care product in industrial areas. Water electrolysis is typically used to generate a hydrogen rich water system. We annealed 10AA carbon paper in air to use it as an electrode of a hydrogen rich water generator. Driven by annealing, structural changes of the carbon paper were identified by secondary electron microscope analysis. Depending on the various annealing temperatures, changes of the hydrophilic characteristics were demonstrated. The crystal structures of pristine and heat-treated carbon paper were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Improvement of the efficiency of the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction was measured via linear voltammetry. The optimized annealing temperature of 10AA carbon paper showed the possibility of using this material as an effective hydrogen rich water generator.

Dye wastewater was treated by using an electrochemical oxidation process. Various combinations of electrodes such as carbon, Al and Fe were investigated. In this study, electrode material, electrolyte concentration, electrode distance, current density, and pH value were found to have significant effect on both pollutant removal efficiency and current efficiency in electrochemical oxidation process. After electrolysis for 40min with carbon/Al, it was observed that COD, $T-N, NH_{4}^{+}-N$ and color of treated wastwater were reduced from 580mg/$\ell$ to 145mg/$\ell$, 67.2mg/$\ell$ to 26.8mg/$\ell$, 46.8mg/$\ell$ to 1.4mg/$\ell$, and 4200 Pt-Co units to 336 Pt-Co units, respectively. The optimal conditions of the electrooxidation process to treat the wastewater for this study were found to be such : current density ; 16.67mA/$cm^2$, electrode distance ; 2.5cm, pH value ; 5.0 and carbon/Al electrode.

In this study, we have investigated the effect of the various operating conditions on the removal fluorine in the rinsed water for the semiconductor industry by using electrolysis process. The removal efficiency of fluorine was irrelevant to initial pH, and carbon anode was high-level treatment in the effect of various electrodes. Fluorine included in the wastewater is treated by the addition of a Ca(OH)2, removal efficiency of electrolysis was increased about 40%. Besides the removal efficiency of fluorine was increased as the current density was increased and this treatment system could reduce both the total sludge and running costs. The feasibility of the electrochemical treatment to the fluorine containing wastewater was verified from this study.

The composite powder of Cu and YSZ was synthesized for a high temperature electrolysis cathode by mechanical milling. The average Cu particle size was reduced to 5 micro-meter from 48 micro-meter after the mechanical ball milling. The composite powder showed that Cu particles were uniformly covered with finer YSZ particles. Sub-micron sized pores were uniformly dispersed in the Cu/YSZ composit. Homogeneously-dispersed fine YSZ in the composite is expected to the increase in triple phase boundaries, thereby leading the enhanced performance of cathode.

Even though the nuclear power plants has many advantages, safety issues of nuclear power plants are crucial factors of reliable operation. A tritium detector is a useful sensor to analyze amount of exposed radiation from the nuclear power plants. Currently, concentration of underwater tritium is measured precisely but it takes very long time. Since electrolysis is extracted hydrogen from the coolant of nuclear power plant, it can motivate to develop new type of real-time sensor. In this study, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is studied for candidate as preprocessor of real-time tritium detector. Characteristics of the unit PEM electrolyzer were experimentally investigated. A simulation model is developed to understand physical behavior of unit PEM electrolyzer under dynamic operation.
