We carried out anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) on a Si and a sapphire substrate. For anodic oxidation of Al two types of specimens prepared were Al(0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$)!Si and Al(0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/Ti(0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$)$SiO_2$(0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/GaN(2 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/Sapphire. Surface morphology of Al film was analyzed depending on the deposition methods such as sputtering, thermal evaporation, and electron beam evaporation. Without conventional electron lithography, we obtained ordered nano-pattern of porous alumina by in- situ process. Electropolishing of Al layer was carried out to improve the surface morphology and evaluated. Two step anodizing was adopted for ordered regular array of AAO formation. The applied electric voltage was 40 V and oxalic acid was used as an electrolyte. The reference electrode was graphite. Through the optimization of process parameters such as electrolyte concentration, temperature, and process time, a regular array of AAO was formed on Si and sapphire substrate. In case of Si substrate the diameter of pore and distance between pores was 50 and 100 nm, respectively. In case of sapphire substrate, the diameter of pore and distance between pores was 40 and 80 nm, respectively

Fabrication of iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures for detection of ammonia gas at room temperature is reported. The iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures are fabricated by in situ co-arc-discharge method using a graphite source with varying numbers of iron wires inserted. The composite structures reveal higher response signals at room temperature than at high temperatures. As the number of iron wires inserted increased, the volume of carbon nanotubes and iron nanoparticles produced increased. The oxidation condition of the composite structures varied the carbon nanotube/iron oxide ratio in the structure and, consequently, the resistance of the structures and, finally, the ammonia gas sensing performance. The highest sensor performance was realized with $500^{\circ}C/2h$ oxidation heat-treatment condition, in which most of the carbon nanotubes were removed from the composite and iron oxide played the main role of ammonia sensing. The response signal level was 62% at room temperature. We also found that UV irradiation enhances the sensing response with reduced recovery time.

현재 리튬이온 배터리에 사용되는 고니켈계 양극재의 수요 증대에 따라 수산화리튬(LiOH) 제조 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 탄산리튬(Li2CO3)으로부터 수산화리튬의 제조를 위하여, 탄산리튬의 열분해를 통한 산화리튬(Li2O)의 전환 공정에 대해 연구하였다. 열처리 시 탄산리튬과 알루미나, 석영 그리고 흑연 도가니 사용에 따른 반응 메커니즘을 확인하였으며, 흑연 도가니를 사용했을 경우 온전한 산화리튬 분말을 얻었다. TG 분석 결과를 바탕으로 열처리 온도를 700℃, 900℃ 그리고 1100℃로 설정하였으며 유지시간 및 분위기를 제어하여 시약급 탄산리튬의 열처리를 진행하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 제조된 산화리튬은 질소 분위기에서 1시간 동안 1100℃의 온도로 열처리를 하였을 때 높은 결정성을 보였다. 또한 수산화리튬으로 전환하기 위해 시약급 산화리튬을 100℃에서 수반응하였다. XRD 분석을 통해 수산화리튬(LiOH)과 수산화리튬 일수화물(LiOH·H2O)이 생성됨을 확인하였다.

To remove nitrate from wastewater, a novel bioelectrochemical denitrification system is introduced. In this proposed system, biological reactions are coupled with reactions on the electrode, whereby the electrons are transferred to the bacterial enzymes via a mediator as an electron carrier. The denitrification reaction was achieved with permeabilized Ochrobactrum anthropi SY509 containing denitrifying enzymes, such as nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, and nitrous oxide reductase, and methyl viologen was used as the mediator. The electron transfer from the electrode to the enzymes in the bacterial cells was confirmed using cyclic voltammetry. A high removal efficiency of nitrate was achieved when the bioelectrochemical system was used with the permeabilized cells. Furthermore, when the permeabilized cells were immobilized to a graphite felt electrode using a calcium alginate matrix containing graphite powder, a high removal efficiency was achieved (4.38 nmol/min mg cell) that was comparable to the result when using the free permeabilized cells.

One of the main issues of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) is to reduce the operating temperature to $750^{\circ}C$ or less. It has advantages of improving the life of component parts and the long-term stability of a system, so the production cost could be decreased. In order to achieve that, the ohmic and polarization loss of a single cell should be minimized first. This paper presents.to fabricate anode-supported single cells with controlling microstructure as a function of particle size and volume of graphite and NiO-YSZ weight ratio. By means of optimizing the manufactural condition through microstructure analysis and performance evaluation, the single cell which had NiO-YSZ=6:4, graphite volume of 24% and graphite size of $75{\mu}m$ as the anode composition showed a distinguished power density of $510mW/cm^2$ at $650^{\circ}C$ and $810mW/cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$, respectively.

In a study of the optimum operational condition for a melting decontamination, the effects of the basicity, slag type and slag composition on the distribution of depleted uranium were investigated for radioactively contaminated metallic wastes of iron-based metals such as stainless steel (SUS 304L) in a direct current graphite arc furnace. Most of the depleted uranium was easily moved into the slag from the radioactive metal waste. The partitioning ratio of the depleted uranium was influenced by the amount of added slag former and the slag basicity. The composition of the slag former used to capture contaminants such as depleted uranium during the melt decontamination process generally consists of silica ($SiO_2$), calcium oxide (CaO) and aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$). Furthermore, calcium fluoride ($CaF_2$), magnesium oxide (MgO), and ferric oxide ($Fe_2O_3$) were added to increase the slag fluidity and oxidative potential. The partitioning ratio of the depleted uranium was increased as the amount of slag former was increased. Up to 97% of the depleted uranium was captured between the ingot phase and the slag phase. The partitioning ratio of the uranium was considerably dependent on the basicity and composition of the slag. The optimum condition for the removal of the depleted uranium was a basicity level of about 1.5. The partitioning ratio of uranium was high, exceeding $5.5{\times}10^3$. The slag formers containing calcium fluoride ($CaF_2$) and a high amount of silica proved to be more effective for a melt decontamination of stainless steel wastes contaminated with depleted uranium.

의료용 센서들은 대부분 일회용 제품으로, 검사·진단 비용을 줄이기 위해서는 저가의 전극 소재 개발이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 일회용 전기화학센서의 전극 소재로 pencil graphite를 도입하여 전처리 효과와 전도성 고분자 폴리아닐린(polyaniline; PANI) 및 금속 산화물 CuO NPs를 이용한 표면 개질(modification)을 통한 전기화학적 특성을 조사하고, 이를 글루코스 검출용 비효소 전기화학센서에 적용하였다. Pencil graphite electrode (PGE)의 표면 활성화를 위한 전처리는 화학적과 전기화학적으로 각각 진행되었으며, 전처리된 샘플들은 시간대전류법(CA)과 순환전압 전류법(CV), 전기화학 임피던스(EIS) 분석법을 이용한 전기화학적 특성 조사를 통해 최종적으로 전기화학적 전처리 방법을 채택하여 CuO NPs/PANI/E-PGE를 제작하였다. 이를 적용한 비효소적 글루코스 검출용 전기화학 센서는 0.282 ~2.112 mM과 3.75423~50 mM의 선형 구간에서 각각 239.18 mA/mM×cm²과 36.99 mA/mM×cm² 정도의 감도(sensitivity)와 17.6 μM의 검출 한계(detection limit), 글루코스에 대한 좋은 선택도(selectivity)를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 PGEs를 활용한 다양한 일회용 센서 응용과 저가의 고성능 전극 소재 개발 가능성을 확인하고, 더 많은 분야에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) structures have great potential in many applications. Currently, the most commonly used method to grow ZnO nanostructres are the vapor transport method (VPT). The morphology of the ZnO structures largely related to the growth conditions, including growth temperature, distance between the substrate and source, and gas ambient. Previously ZnO nanosturecutres with high crystallinity were obtained at the growth temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$, in the argon and oxygen gas ambient. In this study, we report the properties of the ZnO nanostructures, which were synthesized on Au-catalyzed Si substrate by VPT, using a mixture of ZnO and graphite powders as source material under the different condition, including gas ratio of argon/oxygen and distance between substrate and source at the growth temperature of 800$^{\circ}C$. The structural and optical properties of the ZnO nanostructures were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and photoluminescence (PL).
