화강암지역에서 산출되는 국내 지하수의 화학조성은 주로 Ca-HCO$_{3}$와 Na-HCO$_{3}$, 형에 속하며, 일부는 Ca-(C1+SO$_{4}$)또는 Na-(Cl+SO$_{4}$)형의 특성을 나타낸다. 회장암 지역의 용출수는 Ca-HCO$_{3}$ 형에, 지하수는 Na-HCO$_3$ 형에 도시된다. 빗물-화강암 반응에 대한 반응경로 모델링 결과는 초기 Ca-Cl형에서 시작하여 Ca-HCO$_{3}$을 거친 후, 최종적으로 Na-HCO$_{3}$형으로 진화하는 경향을 보인다 빗물-화장암 반응 역시 빗물-화장암 반응에서와 유사하게 진화되는 경향을 보이며, 모델링 결과는 현장자료와 잘 일치된다. 빗물-화장암/회장암 반응경로 모델링 결과, 반응이 진행됨에 따라 수소이온 활동도는 점차 감소(pH는 증가)하며, 양이온의 농도는 pH의 변화에 따른 모암을 구성하는 광물들의 순차적 용해, 2차 생성광물의 침전 및 재용해 등에 의해 다양한 농도변화를 보여준다 빗물-화강암의 반응비에 따라 깁사이트, 적철석, 망간산화물, 카오리나이트, 실리카, 녹니석, 백운모, 방해석, 로몬타이트, 프레나이트, 아날심의 순으로 침전이 발생하며, 빗물-회장암의 반응에서도 이와 동일한 침전순서를 보이지만 실리카의 침전이 없고 아날심 대신 파라고나이트가 침전된다. 빗물-화강암 반응에서는 실리카가 가장 우세한 광물이며, 밋물-회장암 반응에서는 카오리나이트가 가 장 우세한 광물이며, 전체적인 2차 생성광물의 침전량은 화강암보다 회장암 반응이 더 우세하다

This study was carried out to understand the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD) by pyrophyllite (so-called Napseok)-rainwater interaction (weathering), dispersion patterns of heavy metals, and patterns of mixing with non-polluted water in the Tongnae pyrophyllite mine. Based on the mass balance and reaction path modeling, using both the geochemistry of water and occurrence of the secondary minerals (weathering products), the geochemical evolution of AMD was simulated by computer code of SOLVEQ and CHILLER. It shows that the pH of stream water is from 6.2 to 7.3 upstream of the Tongnae mine. Close to the mine, the pH decreases to 2. Despite being diluted with non-polluted tributaries, the acidity of mine drainage water maintains as far as downstream. The results of modeling of water-rock interaction show that the activity of hydrogen ion increases (pH decreases), the goncentration of ${HCO_3}^-$ decreases associated with increasing $H^+$ activity, as the reaction is processing. The concentration of ${SO_4}^{2-}$first increases minutely, but later increases rapidly as pH drops below 4.3. The concentrations of cations and heavy metals are controlled by the dissolution of reactants and re-dissolution of derived species (weathering products) according to the pH. The continuous adding of reactive minerals, namely the progressively larger degrees of water-rock interaction, causes the formation of secondary minerals in the following sequence; goethite, then Mn-oxides, then boehmite, then kaolinite, then Ca-nontronite, then Mgnontronite, and finally chalcedony. The results of reaction path modeling agree well with the field data, and offer useful information on the geochemical evolution of AMD. The results of reaction path modeling on the formation of AMD offer useful information for the estimation and the appraisal of pollution caused by water-rock interaction as geological environments. And also, the ones can be used as data for the choice of appropriate remediation technique for AMD.

Hydrogen production through proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is expeditiously receiving international attention for renewable energy sources as well as energy storage system applications due to its environmentally friendly uses. A series of $Ir_{0.2}Ru_{0.8}O_2$ $Ir_{0.5}Ru_{0.8}O_2$ & $IrO_2$ catalysts were synthesized and electrochemically evaluated by using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) technique. Furthermore, the PEMWE performances of full cells were evaluated by recording I-V Curves. The developed PEMWE stack was also operated in combination with a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) to demonstrate the discrete regenerative fuel cell (DRFC) performances. Produced hydrogen and oxygen from PEMWE were used as a fuel to operate PEMFC to establish a DRFC system.

Ni/YSZ $(Y_2O_3-stabilized\;ZrO_2)$ composite as an electrode component for High Temperature Electrolysis (HTE) was fabricated by mechanical alloying method using Ni and YSZ powders. Characterization of the synthesized composite was investigated with various analysis tools, including XRD, SEM and PSA, and a self-supporting planar unit cell prepared with the Ni/YSZ composite was prepared to study the electrochemical reactions for the production of hydrogen. The Ni/YSZ cermet is composed of crystalline Ni and YSZ, in a sub-micro scale, and has an even distribution without aggregated particles. In addition, under an electrochemical reaction, the unit cell showed an $H_2$ evolution rate from steam of 14 Nml/min and $600mA/cm^2$ of current density at the electrode.

The production of hydrogen via water electrolysis (i.e., green hydrogen) using renewable energy is key to the development of a sustainable society. However, most current electrocatalysts are based on expensive precious metals and require the use of highly purified water in the electrolyte. We demonstrated the preparation of a non-precious metal catalyst based on CuCo₂O₄ (CCO) via simple electrodeposition. Further, an optimization process for electrodeposition potential, solution concentration and electrodeposition method was develop for a catalyst-substrate integrated electrode, which indicated the highly electrocatalytic performance of the material in electrochemical tests and when applied to an anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer.

Designing and producing a low-cost, high-current-density electrode with good electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still a major challenge for the industrial hydrogen energy economy. In this study, nanostructured Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ was discovered to be a precedent electrocatalyst for OER with low overpotential, low Tafel slope, good durability, and high electrochemically active surface sites at reduced mass loadings. Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ nanosheets are made using a hydrothermal synthesis process. These nanosheets are clumped together to form a highly open hierarchical structure. When used as an electrocatalyst, the Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ nanosheets required an overpotential of 260 mV to reach a current density of 50 mA cm^-2. Also, it showed a small Tafel slope of 72.9 mV dec^-1, and superior stability while catalyzing the generation of O₂ continuously for 20 hours. The Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ was found to have a large number of active sites which provide hierarchical and stable transfer routes for both electrolyte ions and electrons, resulting in exceptional OER performance.

$LaCoO_3$ powders synthesized by Pechini process were pulverized by planetary ball-milling to decrease particle size and characterized as a catalyst in alkaline solution for oxygen reduction and evolution reaction (ORR & OER). The changes of physical properties, such as particle size distribution, surface area and electric conductivity, were analyzed as a function of ball-milling time. Also, the variations of the crystal structure and surface morphology of ball-milled powders were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The electrochemically catalytic activities of the intrinsic $LaCoO_3$ powders decreased with increasing ball-milling time, but their electrochemical performance as an electrode improved by the increase of the surface area of the powder.

Due to the intermittency of renewable energy sources, a need to store and transport energy will increase. Hydrogen production through water electrolysis will provide an excellent way to supplement the intermittency of renewable energy sources. While alkaline water electrolysis is currently the most mature technology, it has drawbacks of low current density, large footprint, gas crossover, etc. The PEM water electrolysis has potential to replace the alkaline electrolysis. However, expensive catalyst material used in the PEM electrolysis has been the bottleneck of widespread use. In this review, we have reviewed recent efforts to reduce catalyst loading in PEM water electrolysis. In core-shell nanostructures, the precious metal catalyst forms a shell while heteroatoms form a core. In this way, the catalyst loading can be significantly reduced while maintaining the catalytic activity. In another approach, a corrosion-resistant support is utilized, which provides a stable platform to impregnate precious metal catalyst.

최근 화석연료를 대체할 친환경 신재생에너지에 대한 요구가 증가하면서 수소에너지가 미래 대체에너지원으로서 주목받고 있다. 수소를 생산하는 방법 중 수전해 기술은 에너지효율과 안정성이 뛰어난 장점이 있지만, 산소발생반응시 발생하는 높은 과전압은 여전히 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분무열분해 공정을 통하여 Co 전구체로부터 $Co_3O_4$를 제조하였다. 또한, urea, sucrose, citric acid의 유기물첨가제를 사용하여 다양한 입자 크기와 표면형상을 가지는 $Co_3O_4$를 제조하였고, 필요에 따라 추가로 열처리를 실시하였다. 합성한 $Co_3O_4$의 물리적 특성을 분석하기 위해 X-선 회절 분석(XRD)으로 결정성을 조사하였고, 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 투과전자현미경(TEM)으로 입자형상 및 표면을 분석하였다. 질소 흡 탈착 시험을 통해 촉매의 비표면적 및 기공부피를 측정하였고, 질소도핑을 확인하기 위해 X-선 광전자 분광법(XPS)을 사용하였다. 촉매의 산소발생반응 활성을 알아보기 위해 3전극 셀에서 선형주사전위법(LSV)으로 전기화학적 거동을 분석하였다. 첨가제를 사용하지 않은 $Co_3O_4$가 가장 우수한 활성을 보였고, 이는 분무열분해법을 통하여 상대적으로 작은 입자형성과 높은 비표면적의 영향인 것으로 판단된다.
