인쇄회로기판의 식각폐수를 전기화학적 방법을 이용하여 양극에서 이를 재생하고, 음극에서 구리를 석출하기 위한 실험을 행하였다. 양극에서의 Cu(I)의 산화에 따른 Cu(I)/Cu(II) 변화는 Pt와 Ag/AgCl/4M KCl 전극사이의 전위차를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 반응의 진행에 따른 양극에서의 염소기체 발생은 용액내에 Cu(I)의 농도를 일정치 이상으로 유지시키고, 비다공성 흑연전극을 이용하여 억제할 수 있었다. 그리고, 음극에서의 구리석출은 전류밀도 $360mA/cm^2$, 구리이온농도 12g/l 일때 가장 효율적이며 석출된 구리는 dendrite구조임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 석출효율과 회수방법을 고려할 때 음극으로서 Ti전극을 사용할 경우 가장 우수한 효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 전해온도가 증가함에 따라서 전류효율은 낮아졌으며, 전력효율은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 최대값을 나타내었다.

9-methyl-2,3,6,7-tetramethoxyfluorene이 $CH_3CN$과 $CH_2Cl_2$/TFA/TFAn-혼합용매계에서 갖는 전기화학적 특성을 CV측정을 통해 조사하였다. 이 화합물은 $CH_3CN$용매계에서 첫 번째 전자이동은 준가역 (quasi-reversible)반응, 두 번째 전자이동은 비가역 반응이었다. 그러나 TFA가 포함된 혼합용매 ($CH_2Cl_2$/TFA/TFAn)-계에서는 첫 번째, 두 번째 전자이동단계 모두 가역반응을 나타냈다. 진한 청색을 띄는 전해생성물은 혼합용매계에서 안전한 상태로 존재할 수 있어 향후 전기발색소자로서 사용이 가능하다.

Separator of stack in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is high cost and heavy. If we make it low cost and lighter, it will have a great ripple. In this study, low carbon steel is used as base metal of separator because the cost of low carbon steel is very cheaper commercial metal material than stainless steels, which is widely used as separator. Low carbon steel has not a good corrosion resistance. In order to improve the corrosion resistance and electrolytic conductivity, low carbon steel needs to be surface treated. We made Chromium electroplated layer of $5{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$ thickness on the surface of low carbon steel and it was nitrided for 2 hours at $1000^{\circ}C$ in a furnace with 100 torr nitrogen gas pressure. Cross-sectional and surface microstructures of surface treated low carbon steel are investigated using SEM. And crystal structures are investigated by XRD. Interfacial contact resistance and corrosion tests were considered to simulate the internal operating conditions of PEMFC stack. The corrosion test was performed in 0.1 N $H_2SO_4$ + 2 ppm $F^-$ solution at $80^{\circ}C$. Throughout this research, we try to know that low carbon steel can be replaced stainless steel in separator of PEMFC.

Due to excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, austenitic stainless steel is widely used as the material for chemical plants. nuclear power plants, and food processing facilities. But, the zone affected by heat in the range of 400 to $800^{\circ}C$ during welding loses corrosion resistance and tensile strength since Cr-carbide precipitation like $Cr_{23}C_6$ forms at the grain boundary and thereby takes place the intergranular corrosion. In this study, AISI 304 stainless steel with the added Nb of 0.3 to 0.7 wt% was solutionized at $1050^{\circ}C$ and sensitized at $650^{\circ}C$. Specimen was welded by MIG. The phase and the microstructure of the specimens were examined by an optical microscope, a scanning electron microscope, and a x-ray diffractometer. The corrosion characteristics of specimens were tested by electrolytic etching and by double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation method(EPR) in the mixed solution of 0.5M $H_2SO_4$ + 0.01M KSCN. The melting zone had dendritic structure constituted of austenitic phase and $\delta$-ferrite phase. Cr carbide at the matrix did not appear, as Nb content increased. At the grain boundaries of the heat affected zone, the precipitates decreased and the twins appeared. The hardness increased, as Nb content increased. The hardness was highest in the order of the heat affected zone>melted zone>matrix. According to EPR curve, as the Nb content decreased, the reactivation current density(Ir) and the activation current density(la) were highest in the order of the melted zone

The electrolytic reduction of a spent oxide fuel involves liberation of the oxygen in a molten LiCl electrolyte, which is a chemically aggressive environment that is too crosive for typical structural materials. Therefore, it is essential to choose the optimum material for the process equipment for handling a molten salt. In this study, the corrosion behavior of pyro-carbon made by CVD was investigated in a molten LiCl-$Li_2O$ salt under an oxidation atmosphere at $650^{\circ}C$ and $750^{\circ}C$ for 72 hours. Pyro-carbon showed no chemical reactions with the molten salt because of its low wettability between pyro-carbon and the molten salt. As a result of XRD analysis, pyro-carbon exposed to the molten salt showed pure graphite after corrosion tests. As a result of TGA, whereas the coated layer by CVD showed high anti-oxidation, the non-coated layer showed relatively low anti-oxidation. The stable phases in the reactions were $C_{(S)}$, $Li_2CO_{3(S)}$, $LiCl_{(l)}$, $Li_2O$ at $650^{\circ}C$ and $C_{(S)}$, $LiCl_{(l)}$, $Li_2O_{(S)}$ at $750^{\circ}C$. $Li_2CO_{(S)}$ was decomposed at $750^{\circ}C$ into $Li_2O_{(S)}$ and $CO_{2(g)}$.

본 연구에서는 리튬이온전지용 친수화된 세퍼레이터의 전기화학적 성능에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 리튬이온전지용 분리막으로 사용되는 폴리올레핀 소재는 소수성이고, 카보네이트 계열의 유기용매를 사용하는 전해액은 친수성을 가진다. 따라서 리튬이온전지는 수계전해액을 사용하기 때문에 폴리올레핀계 분리막에 다양한 친수성 고분자를 도입하여 친수화 처리하였다. 코팅된 세퍼레이터의 변화를 평가하기 위해, 표면 관찰, 코팅시간에 따른 친수화도, 다공성, 젖음성에 대한 특성평가를 수행하였다. 최종적으로 리튬이온이 코팅된 세퍼레이터의 저항과., 이온전도도를 측정하여 리튬이온전지 성능평가를 진행하였다. PMVE로 코팅한 세퍼레이터의 친수화 정도가 우수하며, 세퍼레이터의 기공이 잘 유지되어 우수한 이온전도도를 나타냄으로써 이차전지 배터리에 적용을 위한 잠재성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

The power capacitors used as vehicle inverters must have a small size, high capacitance, high voltage, fast response and wide operating temperature. Our thin film capacitor was fabricated by alumina layers as a dielectric material and a metal electrode instead of a liquid electrolyte in an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. We analyzed the micro structures and the electrical properties of the thin film capacitors fabricated by nano-channel alumina and metal electrodes. The metal electrode was filled into the alumina nano-channel by electroless nickel plating with polyethylene glycol and a palladium catalyst. The spherical metals were formed inside the alumina nano pores. The breakdown voltage and leakage current increased by the chemical reaction of the alumina layer and $PdCl_2$ solution. The thickness of the electroless plated nickel layer was 300 nm. We observed the nano pores in the interface between the alumina layer and the metal electrode. The alumina capacitors with nickel electrodes had a capacitance density of 100 $nF/cm^2$, dielectric loss of 0.01, breakdown voltage of 0.7MV/cm and leakage current of $10^4{\mu}A$.

The electrolyte is an important component in determining the performance of Fuel Cells. Especially, investigation of the conduction properties of electrolytes plays a key role in determining the performance of the electrolyte. The electrochemical properties of Yttrium stabilized zirconia (YSZ) were measured to allow the use of this material as an electrolyte for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) in the temperature range of $700-1000^{\circ}C$ and in $0.21{\leq}pO_2/atm{\leq}10^{-23}$. A Hebb-Wagner polarization experimental cell was optimally manufactured; here we discuss typical problems associated with making cells. The partial conductivities due to electrons and holes for 8YSZ, which is known as a superior oxygen conductor, were obtained using I-V characteristics based on the Hebb-Wagner polarization method. Activation energies for holes and electrons are $3.99{\pm}0.17eV$ and $1.70{\pm}0.06eV$ respectively. Further, we calculated the oxygen ion conductivity with electron, hole, and total conductivity, which was obtained by DC four probe conductivity measurements. The oxygen ion conductivity was dependent on the temperature; the activation energy was $0.80{\pm}0.10eV$. The electrolyte domain was determined from the top limit, bottom limit, and boundary (p=n) of the oxygen partial pressure. As a result, the electrolyte domain was widely presented in an extensive range of oxygen partial pressures and temperatures.

$ZrO_2$ films were coated on aluminum etching foil by the sol-gel method to apply $ZrO_2$ as a dielectric material in an aluminum(Al) electrolytic capacitor. $ZrO_2$ films annealed above $450^{\circ}C$ appeared to have a tetragonal structure. The withdrawal speed during dip-coating, and the annealing temperature, influenced crack-growth in the films. The $ZrO_2$ films annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ exhibited a dielectric constant of 33 at 1 kHz. Also, uniform $ZrO_2$ tunnels formed in Al etch-pits $1{\mu}m$ in diameter. However, $ZrO_2$ film of 100-200 nm thickness showed the withstanding voltage of 15 V, which was unsuitable for a high-voltage capacitor. In order to improve the withstanding voltage, $ZrO_2$-coated Al etching foils were anodized at 300 V. After being anodized, the $Al_2O_3$ film grew in the directions of both the Al-metal matrix and the $ZrO_2$ film, and the $ZrO_2$-coated Al foil showed a withstanding voltage of 300 V. However, the capacitance of the $ZrO_2$-coated Al foil exhibited only a small increase because the thickness of the $Al_2O_3$ film was 4-5 times thicker than that of $ZrO_2$ film.

강은 자동차 제조업체 및 전기 제품에 많이 사용되고 있으나 부식으로 많은 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 부식문제를 해결하기 위해 강 위에 아연전기도금을 두껍게 하고 있다. 그러나 아연 도금의 두께가 두꺼워지면 부품 제조 시 크렉이 발생하기 쉬우며, 이로 인해 부식이 더욱더 악화될 수 있다. 이러한 부식 문제를 해결하기 위해 아연과 크롬합금도금에 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 염화욕에서 합금도금의 조성에 미치는 전해조건의 영향을 조사하였다. 전류밀도가 증가함에 따라 Zn함량이 감소하고 Cr함량은 증가하였다. 전해액 온도가 증가함에 따라 Zn함량이 감소하고 Cr함량은 증가하였으며, 그 결과는 음극분극곡선으로 가지고 해석되었다.
