국내 흑연광의 총 매장량은 약 260만 톤 정도이지만, 국제경쟁력을 가지지 못해 현재는 일부 광산에서만 채광하고 있다. 그러나 최근 휴대용 전자제품의 수요가 증가함에 따라 2차 전지의 전극에 사용되는 고순도의 흑연을 전량 고가로 수입에 의존하고 있어, 고순도 흑연의 국산화를 위한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 고순도 흑연을 생산하기 위한 전처리 단계로서 29.50% F.C.의 원광($D_{50}=69.393{\mu}m$)시료를 attrition mill에서 20분 마광($D_{50}=10.314{\mu}m$)하여 microbubble column을 이용하여 실험한 결과 정선과정 없이도 95% F.C. 이상의 산물을 90%이상의 회수율로 얻을 수 있었다.

Electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) have received a tremendous interest due to their suitability for diverse applications. They have been fabricated using different carbon based electrodes including activated carbons, single walled/multi walled carbon nano tubes. But, graphite which is one of the natural resources in Sri Lanka has not been given a considerable attention towards using for EDLCs though it is a famous carbon material. On the other hand, EDLCs are well reported with various liquid electrolytes which are associated with numerous drawbacks. Gel polymer electrolytes (GPE) are well known alternative for liquid electrolytes. In this paper, it is reported about an EDLC fabricated with a nano composite polyethylene oxide based GPE and two Sri Lankan graphite based electrodes. The composition of the GPE was [{(10PEO: $NaClO_4$) molar ratio}: 75wt.% PC] : 5 wt.% $TiO_2$. GPE was prepared using the solvent casting method. Two graphite electrodes were prepared by mixing 85% graphite and 15% polyvinylidenefluoride (PVdF) in acetone and casting n fluorine doped tin oxide glass plates. GPE film was sandwiched in between the two graphite electrodes. A non faradaic charge discharge mechanism was observed from the Cyclic Voltammetry study. GPE was stable in the potential windows from (-0.8 V-0.8 V) to (-1.5 V-1.5 V). By increasing the width of the potential window, single electrode specific capacity increased. Impedance plots confirmed the capacitive behavior at low frequency region. Galvanostatic charge discharge test yielded an average discharge capacity of $0.60Fg^{-1}$.

When rubber dissolved in toluene was used as a binding material of graphite powder, the mechanical robustness of the carbon paste was guaranteed by the fast volatility of the solvent immediately after electrode construction. This characteristic of the rubber solution met qualifications for practical use of carbon paste electrodes and enabled the design of a new enzyme electrode bound with EPDM. In order to confirm whether the electrode shows quantitative electrochemical behaviors or not, its kinetic parameters, e. g. the symmetry factor (0.2), the exchange current density ($3.66\;{\mu}A/cm^2$), the capacity of the double layer ($2.0{\times}10^{-5}\;F$), the Michaelis constant ($4.39{\times}10^{-3}\;M$), the diffusion coefficient of substrate ($2.58{\times}10^{-12}\;cm^2/sec$), the time constant (0.018 sec) and other factors were investigated.

흑연가루의 결합재로 클로로술폰화 폴리에틸렌 고무용액을, 매개체로 ferrocene을 사용하여 장미조직을 고정한 과산화수소 정량 바이오센서를 제작하였다. 실험 전극전위 영역에서 보여준 Hanes-Woolf 도시의 선형성은 기질의 환원이 장미 과산화효소의 촉매력에 의한 것임을 보여 주었다. 또 얻어진 10개 이상의 전기화학 파라미터들은 전극이 정량적으로 성능을 발휘하고 있음을 입증하였다. 이런 사실들은 효소전극의 실용화를 위하여 장미조직이 상업용 과산화효소를 대치하여 사용될 수 있음을 확신시켜 주는 것이었다.

Sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC), equipped with Zn, Al, Cu, Fe or graphite felt (GF) anode and marine sediment, was performed. Graphite felt was used as a common cathode. SMFC was single chambered and did not use any redox mediator. The aim of this work was to find efficient anodic material. Oxidation reduction potential (ORP), cell voltage, current density, power density, pH and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were measured for SMFC's performance.. The order of maximum power density was $913mWm^{-2}$ for Zn, $646mWm^{-2}$ for Fe, $387.8mWm^{-2}$ for Cu, $266mWm^{-2}$ for Al, and $127mWm^{-2}$ for graphite felt (GF). The current density over voltage was found to be strongly correlated with metal electrodes, but the graphite felt electrode, in which relatively weaker electricity was observed because of its bio-oriented mechanism. Metal corrosion reactions and/or a complicated microbial electron transfer mechanism acting around the anodic compartment may facilitate to generate electricity. We presume that more sophisticated selection of anodic material can lead to better performance in SMFC.

본 연구에서는 인조흑연의 낮은 이론용량을 개선하기 위하여 음극소재로서 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재의 전기화학적 성능을 조사하였다. 구형의 인조 흑연 표면을 polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) 양친성 물질로 코팅한 후 실리카를 성장시켜 흑연/실리카 소재를 합성하였으며, 석유계 피치 코팅과 마그네슘 열 환원법을 통해 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재를 제조하였다. 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재의 전극은 poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyacrylic acid (PAA) 바인더에 따라 제조하였으며, 다양한 전해액과 첨가제를 이용하여 전지를 조립하였다. 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재는 X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM)와 thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA)를 통해 물리적 특성을 분석하였으며, 전기화학적 특성은 충 방전 사이클, 율속, 순환전압전류, 임피던스 테스트를 통해 조사하였다. 흑연/실리콘/피치 복합소재는 흑연 : 실리카 : 피치 = 1 : 4 : 8일 때 높은 사이클 안정성을 보였다. PAA 바인더를 사용하여 제조된 전극은 높은 용량과 안정성을 보였으며, EC:DMC:EMC 전해액을 사용하였을 때 719 mAh/g의 높은 초기 용량과 우수한 사이클 안정성 나타내었다. 또한 vinylene carbonate (VC) 첨가시에 2 C/0.1 C 일 때 77% 용량 유지율과 0.1 C/0.1 C 일 때 88% 용량 회복을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Electrochemical redox capacity of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) electrode is an important factor in the power density. This study was conducted to investigate the redox capacity of surface modified anode and cathode electrodes by measuring their conductivities. An anode electrode was modified with nitric acid and a cathode electrode was modified with heat treatment. The anode electrode modified with 20 % of the nitric acid concentration showed the highest conductivity of $6.2{\mu}S/cm/g$ and the maximum power density of $306.0mW/m^2$ when used in a MFC. The cathode electrode modified at $472^{\circ}C$ for 18 min showed the highest conductivity of $5.2{\mu}S/cm/g$ and the maximum power density of $276.20mW/m^2$ when used in a MFC. On the other hand, an MFC using both the electrodes showed the highest maximum power density of $408.2mW/m^2$. Meanwhile, a control MFC without modified electrodes generated very small voltage (0.014 mV), so the power density could not be measured.

Electrochemical lithium intercalation into a PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposited) carbon film electrode was investigated in 1 M $LiPF_6-EC$ (ethylene carbonate) and DEC (diethyl carbonate) solution during lithium intercalation and deintercalation, by using cyclic voltammetry supplemented with ac-impedance spectroscopy. The size of the graphitic crystallite in the a- and c-axis directions obtained from the carbon film electrode was much smaller than those of the graphite one, indicating less-developed crystalline structure with hydrogen bonded to carbon, from the results of AES (Auger electron spectroscopy), powder XRD (X-ray diffraction) method, and FTIR(Fourier transform infra-red) spectroscopy. It was shown from the cyclic voltammograms and ac-impedance spectra of carbon film electrode that a threshold overpotential was needed to overcome an activation barrier to entrance of lithium into the carbon film electrode, such as the poor crystalline structure of the carbon film electrode showing disordered carbon and the presence of residual hydrogen in its structure. The experimental results were discussed in terms of the effect of host carbon structure on the lithium intercalation capability.
