A breaking layer was introduced to conventional decal transfer method in membrane electrolyte assembly fabrication for high catalyst transfer ratio. In this study, the modified decal transfer method with high catalyst transfer ratio was introduced and its performance is studied. The structural features of electrodes made by decal method were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and current-voltage polarization measurement.

$TiO_{2}$ electrode electrospun directly onto the substrate was developed for energy conversion device. To enhance energy conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell, electrodes should have higher surface area to absorb more dyes and higher conductivity to reduce recombination of generated electrons. $TiO_{2}$ nanofibers with higher surface areas were fabricated by annealing electrospun $TiO_{2}/PVP$ nanofibers at $500^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs in air. it was revealed that $TiO_{2}$ nanofiber electrodes is hybrid with MWNT showed higher conductivity than $TiO_{2}$ semiconductor electrode possibly due to band gap change.

Normally if sunlight is directed on a solar cell without any increasing in temperature, the amount of absorption energy per unit area of each cell is increasing. In a silicon solar cell. however, cell conversion efficiency decreases with the increase of temperature. Therefore, to maintain cell conversion efficiency under normal condition, it is necessary to keep the cell at operating temperature. We tried to design and make new hybrid panel with cooling system to prevent increasing of temperature on cell, collect and use thermal energy more effectively. We compared performance of this new hybrid panel with current thermal panel. We also evaluated conversion efficiency, thermal capacity and confirmed cooling effects from thermal absorption efficiency.

We have investigated the kinetics and activity of waste catalysts for steam-lignite gasification. Waste catalysts I, II, III and reference $K_2CO_3$ were used and physical mixed with a coal. The gasification experiments were carried out with the low rank coal loaded with 1 wt% and 5 wt% catalyst at the temperature range from 700 to $900^{\circ}C$ using thermobalance reactor. It was observed that the carbon conversion reached almost 100% regardless of the kinds of catalysts at $900^{\circ}C$. The shortest time to reach the designated conversion was obtained for 1 wt% waste catalyst II and 5 wt% $K_2CO_3$ at $900^{\circ}C$. The gasification reaction rate constant increased with increasing the temperature. Highest rate constant was obtained with $K_2CO_3$ at $900^{\circ}C$. The lowest activation energy was 69.42 kJ/mol for 5 wt% waste catalyst II. The waste catalyst had an influence on the reduction of activation energy.

The validity of the energy data of the starch-foods and seaweeds in Korean food composition tables has been suspected due to possible differences in their chemical compositions from those of western food ingredients. Energy conversion parameters being used currently in nutrition has been derived in countries where food items re quite different from ours. This study was undertaken to determine the metabolizable energy of starch-foods and seaweeds by the method selected in preexperiment20). Cooked starch foods and seaweeds were freeze-dried and fed to Sprague Dawley rat with 200∼300g body weight to measure apparent metabolizable energy (AME) values and nitrogen-corrected AME (AMEn) values for four days after three days of preliminary period for adaptation to the diets. The AME and AMEn values of the wheat noodle were 4554.6, 4584.7, the Starch Vermicelli, 3763.4, 3855.7, the Ra myon, 4916.9, 4876.0, the Buckwheat noodle, 4469.7, 4442.0kcal/kg dry matter, the Potato, 4514.6, 4520.0 and those of the Bread, 3256.9, 3582.6, 3260.5, kcal/kg dry matter, respectively. Those of Sea tangle were 1437.3, 1631.3 and of Laver, 3126.6, 3171.3kcal/kg dry matter, resectively. When the AME values of the starch-foods and seaweeds measureed in present study were compared with energy values calculated by various conversion parameters such as Atwater's Rubner's, Sochun's and FAO's, there appeared dramatic differences indicating that for many of the food items, the latter energy values by conversion factors are hardly acceptable. These data also suggest that the existing energy conversion factors are not applicable to seaweeds and a further study is needed to obtain specific factors for the conversion to biological energy from the chemical composition of seaweeds.

초임계 이산화탄소 사이클은 소형화 및 효율 향상에 대한 잠재력 때문에 최근 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 원자력, 태양열(CSP) 및 화력 발전 분야에서 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이와 관련하여, 본 논문에서는 한국에너지기술연구원(KIER)의 초임계 이산화탄소 동력 사이클 연구 내용과 현황을 소개하였다. 1 단계 연구에서는 단순 초임계 브레이튼 사이클 실험 루프를 제작 및 시운전 하였으며, 현재 진행중인 2 단계 연구에서는 두개의 터빈과 두개의 재생기를 갖는 초임계 이중(dual) 브레이튼 사이클을 설계 및 제작하고 있다. 최적 설계를 위한 초임계 이중 브레이튼 사이클 모델링 및 시뮬레이션 결과, 본 연구에서 고려한 조건하에서, 사이클의 순출력을 극대화시키는 설계 변수가 존재함을 확인하였다.

Alloying degree is an important structural factor of PtRu catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). In this work, carbon supported PtRu catalysts were synthesized by reduction method using anhydrous ethanol as a solvent and $NaBH_4$ as a reducing agent. Using anhydrous ethanol as a solvent resulted in high alloying degree and good dispersion. The morphological structure and crystallanity of synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). CO stripping and methanol oxidation reaction were measured. Due to high alloying degree catalyst prepared in anhydrous ethanol, exhibited low onset potential for methanol oxidation and negative peak shift of CO oxidation than commercial sample. Consequently, samples, applying ethanol as a solvent, exhibited not only enhanced CO oxidation, but also increased methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) activity compared with commercial PtRu/C (40 wt%, E-tek) and 40 wt% PtRu/C prepared in water solution.

본 논문에서는 스프레딩된 SiC 섬유를 적용해 SiC_f/SiC를 제조하였을 경우, 섬유의 분산도가 복합소재의 내부구조 및 기계적 강도에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 연구하였다. Spread SiC 섬유를 적용한 시편의 섬유 체적비는 non-spread 시편 대비 9%p 감소하였으며, 수지 슬러리가 섬유 사이로 더 원활히 함침되어 기지내 기공도 거의 발견되지 않았다. 각 시편의 섬유 분산도를 비교하기 위해, 복합소재 내 섬유간 이격거리를 수치화하고 평가하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 spread 시편의 섬유간 중심거리는 non-spread 시편 대비 2.23 ㎛ 증가하였으며, 섬유 표면 사이 거리는 42.6%로 대폭 증가하였다. 3점 굽힘시험을 통해 spread 시편의 굽힘강도가 non-spread 시편 대비 49.3% 가량 높으며, 시험 데이터의 편차도 더 균일함을 확인하였다. 따라서 복합소재 기지내 SiC 섬유의 분산도 향상이 SiC_f/SiC의 균일한 기지상 치밀화와 기계적 강도 증가에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다는 점을 알 수 있다.
