To produce carbon electrodes for use in perovskite solar cells, electrode samples are prepared by mixing various weight ratios of 35 nm nano carbon(NC) and $1{\mu}m$ graphite flakes(GF), GF/(NC+GF) = 0, 0.5, 0.7, and 1, in chlorobenzene(CB) solvent with a $ZrO_2$ binder. The carbon electrodes are fabricated as glass/FTO/carbon electrode devices for microstructure characterization using transmission electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and a field emission scanning electron microscopy. The electrical characterization is performed with a four-point probe and a multi tester. The microstructure characterization shows that an electrode with excellent attachment to the substrate and no surface cracks at weight ratios above 0.5. The electrical characterization results show that the sheet resistance is <$70{\Omega}/sq$ and the interface resistance is <$70{\Omega}$ at weight ratios of 0.5 and 0.7. Therefore, a carbon paste electrode with microstructure and electrical properties similar to those of commercial carbon electrodes is proposed with an appropriate mixing ratio of NC and GF containing a CB solvent and $ZrO_2$.

This study has been performed to inmvestigate MRR(metal removal rate), REW(relative electrode wear), surface roughness, heat transumutation layer and microhardness distribution in cross-section of the machined surface with various pulse-on duration and peak pulse current, using the copper and graphite electrode on the heat treated STD11 which is extensively used for metallic molding steel with the EDM. The results obtained are as follows; a) There exists critical pulse-on duration(If Ip equals 5A, .tau. on is 50 .mu. s) which shows the the maximum MRR in accordance with peak oulse current and the MRR decreases when the pulse-on duration exceeds the critical pulse-on during because of the abnormal electric discharge. b) Safe discharge is needed to make maximum of MRR and the metalic organization must be complicated for discharge induction. c) Graphite has much more benefits than copper electrode when rapid machining is done without electrode wear. d) The most external surface has the highest microhardness because of car- burizing from heat analysis of the dielectric fluid and the lower layar of the white covered layer has lower microhar dness than base matal because of softening.

In this study, pyrocatechol violet (Pcv) is proposed for the first time as an efficient electrocatalyst for oxidation of sulfide and flow injection analysis (FIA) of sulfide. A graphite pencil electrode (GPE) was modified with Pcv via immersion of the GPE into 0.01 M Pcv solution for 15 min. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) demonstrated that Pcv/GPE exhibits a good electrocatalytic performance due to shift in the potential from +400 at bare GPE to +70 mV at Pcv/GPE and obtaining an enhancement in the peak current compared with the bare GPE. A linear range between 0.25 and 250 μM sulfide with a detection limit of 0.07 μM was obtained from the recorded current-time curves in Flow Injection Analysis (FIA) of sulfide. Sulfide in water samples was also successfully determined using the proposed FI amperometric methods.

Physical properties of artificial graphite electrodes were evaluated along three different directions; circumferential (X), radial (Y), and axial (Z) directions. Four kinds of commercial electrode products were used in this study for the evaluation; pole (AP) and nipple (AN) of manufacturer A, pole (BP) and nipple (BN) of manufacturer B. The mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties in X and Y directions were very similar to each other. In Z direction, however, the mechanical properties, including flexural strength and compressive strength, were higher, and electric resistance and thermal expansion were much lower than those in the other directions. The microstructures observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope revealed that the differences in properties by the measuring direction were caused by the preferential alignment of needle cokes along the Z direction. When comparing the properties of the electrode samples in the same direction, the mechanical properties mainly depended on the bulk density or porosity of the samples as well as preferential alignment of needle cokes.

Redox Flow Battery용 고내구성 및 고효율 전극의 제조를 위해 DSA(Dimensionally Stable Anode)를 집전체 및 전극으로 사용하고 흑연 입자를 이용한 전극을 제조하여 DSA와 압연하는 방법으로 일체화 된 흑연/DSA 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 1 M $VOSO_4$ + 5M $H_2SO_4$ 혼합용액과 2 M $VOSO_4$ + 2.5M $H_2SO_4$ 혼합된 용액의 전해액 시스템에서 Cyclic Voltammetry(CV) 방법을 이용하여 -0.7 V에서 1.6 V vs. SCE의 전위범위에서 전극의 특성을 실험한 결과, 높은 농도의 2M $VOSO_4$ 전해액에서도 바나듐 이온들의 redox couple 반응을 잘 나타내고 있으며 가역성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제조된 일체화된 흑연/DSA 전극을 redox flow battery에 적용할 경우에 고내구성, 내부식성 및 전지의 에너지밀도, 출력밀도와 에너지효율을 향상시킬 것으로 판단된다.

Graphite can be classified into natural graphite from mines and artificial graphite. Due to its outstanding properties such as light weight, thermal resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and high-temperature strength, artificial graphite is used across various industries in powder form and bulk form. Artificial graphite of powder form is usually used as anode materials for secondary cells, while artificial graphite of bulk form is used in steelmaking electrode bars, nuclear reactor moderators, silicon ingots for semiconductors, and manufacturing equipment. This study defines artificial graphite as bulk graphite, and provides an overview of bulk graphite manufacturing, including isotropic and anisotropic materials, molding methods, and heat treatment.

0.5 M $K_2SO_4$ 용액에서 여러 가지 세 탄소전극(glassy carbon, 인조흑연, graphite foil)에 대하여 양극분극에 따른 전극표면반응에 대한 연구를 임피던스 스펙트로스코피를 통하여 실시했다. Graphite foil 전극의 경우 이중츨 capacotance는 다른 두 전극재료에 비하여 높게 나타났으며, 양극분극시 glassy carbon과 인조 흑연(PVDF 혼합 graphite)은 전극계면에서 흡착현상에 의한 capacitance C의 영향이 현저하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 3종류 전극재료의 전기화학적 거동은 전극표면 조직의 차이에 의해 glassy carbon의 경우는 분극시 파라데이 임피던스의 영향을 받으며, graphite foil의 경우는 field transport의 지배를 받아 전압의 변화에 의한 임피던스 파라미터의 변화는 거의 나타나지 않았다.

Tin/graphite composites are prepared as anode materials for Li-ion batteries using a dry ball-milling process. The main experimental variables in this work are the ball milling time (0-8 h) and composition ratio (tin:graphite=5:95, 15:85, and 30:70 w/w) of graphite and tin powder. For comparison, a tin/graphite composite is prepared using wet ball milling. The morphology and structure of the different tin/graphite composites are investigated using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the samples are also examined. The optimal dry ball milling time for the uniform mixing of graphite and tin is 6 h in a graphite-30wt.%Sn sample. The electrode prepared from the composite that is dry-ball-milled for 6 h exhibits the best cycle performance (discharge capacity after 50^th cycle: 308 mAh/g and capacity retention: 46%). The discharge capacity after the 50^th cycle is approximately 112 mAh/g, higher than that when the electrode is composed of only graphite (196 mAh/g after 50^th cycle). This result indicates that it is possible to manufacture a tin/graphite composite anode material that can effectively buffer the volume change that occurs during cycling, even using a simple dry ball-milling process.

우수한 수명특성을 지니는 흑연과 높은 용량을 지니고 있는 실리콘 일산화물의 혼합전극을 제조하여 리튬이온 이차전지용 음극으로 적용하여 이의 사이클 성능에 대하여 평가하였다. 천연흑연과 실리콘 일산화물을 9:1의 질량비로 혼합하여 제조한 전극은 $480mAh\;g^{-1}$의 가역용량으로 천연흑연에 비하여 33% 이상의 높은 용량을 나타내었다. 그러나, 실리콘 일산화물의 부피변화로 인하여 용량의 퇴화가 지속적으로 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 전극 및 전해질의 구성에 변수들을 적용하여 각각의 변수가 영향을 주는 전기화학적 특성을 파악하고 이를 통하여 사이클 수명을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 전극 제조 시에 poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVdF) 바인더에 비하여 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) 바인더는 가장 우수한 사이클 특성을 나타내었으며, CMC와 styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)을 함께 사용하는 SBR/CMC 바인더의 경우에는 CMC 단독 바인더를 사용하는 경우와 유사한 사이클 특성과 동시에 속도특성에서 장점을 지니고 있었다. 전해액 첨가제로 fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC)를 적용하는 경우에 수명특성이 크게 개선되었다. FEC의 함량이 10 질량%로 높아지게 되면 전지의 속도특성이 저하되기 때문에 5 질량%의 사용이 적절하였다. 또한 전극의 로딩값을 낮추게 되면 사이클 특성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 집전체를 사포로 연마하여 거칠기를 증가시키는 것도 사이클 특성의 개선을 가져올 수 있었다.
