o-Phenylenediamine (o-PD) was electropolymerized on glassy carbon electrodes under a potential cycling condition. The resulting polymer films mediated electrons for the reduction of molecular oxygen at pH=1.0. It was found from the RDE, RRDE, and cyclic voltammetry experiments that the modified electrodes reduce oxygen to hydrogen peroxide at about 300 mV lower potential than the bare glassy carbon electrode. The polymer film consisted of more than two components. Among those, only one component was active in oxygen reduction, which was formed mainly in the earlier stage of the electropolymerization. 2,3-Diaminophenazine, a cyclic dimer of o-PD, was also active in the oxygen reduction reaction, from which it was suggested that the active polymeric component has a structural unit similar to the cyclic dimer. Finally, the electropolymerization mechanism for the formation of the active and inactive components has been proposed.

격납건물에서 수소폭발이 발생된다면 다중방어벽을 훼손하고 다량의 방사능 물질을 방출시킬 수 있기 때문에 노심용융과 함께 발생되는 수소를 효과적으로 제어하고 제거해야 하지만 사고 원인의 다양성과 수소분포, 거동의 불규칙성 때문에 폭발 저감을 위한 대책마련이 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 가장 넓게 사용되는 수소저감 기술인 피동촉매형수소재결합기(PAR)의 수소저감 효율을 높이기 위해 외부 유동을 고려한 가이드 구조에 관하여 연구하였다. 2단 촉매 PAR 내부형상을 기본으로 하여 PAR 외부에 가이드를 부착하였을 때 유체의 거동과 수소저감효율에 대해서 해석을 수행하였다. 유동이 아래에서 위로 올라가는 경우 가이드 높이 150mm, 촉매와 가이드 직접 부착, 가이드 각도가 $60^{\circ}$인 구조가 최적으로 판단되며 유동이 옆에서 불어오는 경우 촉매와 가이드 거리 100mm인 구조가 최적으로 판단되고, 유동이 위에서 아래로 내려오는 경우 직접부착, 높이 50mm 가이드 구조가 최적으로 판단된다.

스테인리스 강재인 STS444에 있어서 용접조건에 따른 수소취성 거동을 고찰하고자 수소침투실험과 기계적 인장시험을 실시하였다. 즉, $0.5MH_2SO_4+0.001M \;As_2O_3$ 수용액 중에서 $1,400 kg/cm^2$의 하중을 부가하는 동시에 전기화학 부식시험 장치로 $30mA/cm^2$전류를 60분간 인가하여 수소를 침투시킨 후 기계적 인장시험을 통해서 STS444용접부의 수소취성 특성에 관해서 고찰하였다. STS444에 있어서 용접조건이 수소취성에 미치는 특성을 연구한 결과, 용접 전 기름이나 물의 흡착에 의해 인장강도나 연신율은 낮아진다. 또한 기름이나 물이 흡착함으로써 수소취성에 의한 인장응력 및 연신율의 감소율은 더 크게 나타나고, 용접 전 물의 흡착이 기름의 흡착보다 수소취성에 민감하다.

최근, 화석연료의 고갈과 환경오염의 문제로 인해 차세대 신재생 에너지에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 그 중 수소연료는 친환경, 저장의 용이, 손쉬운 제조 등과 같은 장점에 반해 가연범위가 넓고, 폭발의 위험성이 단점으로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 간편한 SP 시험법을 이용하여 고압수소가스 분위기 하에서 in-situ 수소취화거동을 평가할 수 있는 시험기법을 확립하고자 한다. 그 적용성을 평가하기 위해서 수소저장용기 재료로 사용되는 스테인리스강(SUS316L)을 사용하여 대기압, 고압 헬륨 및 수소가스 분위기에서 시험하였다. 실험결과, 고압 수소가스 분위기에서는 수소 침투로 인해, 대기압 및 헬륨가스 분위기하에서와 달리, 시험편 표면에 미세균열 발생과 하중-변위 선도상 소성불안정 변형 영역에서 연신율 감소를 가져왔고, 파면관찰 결과 수소취화 균열이 관찰되어 SP시험법의 유효성을 나타내었다.

The effect of Cr and Mo contents on the hydrogen embrittlement of tempered martensitic steels was investigated in this study. After the steels with different Cr and Mo contents were austenitized at 820 ℃ for 90 min, they were tempered at 630 ℃ for 120 min. The steels were composed of fully tempered martensite with a lath-type microstructure, but the characteristics of the carbides were dependent on the Cr and Mo contents. As the Cr and Mo contents increased, the volume fraction of film-like cementite and prior austenite grain size decreased. After hydrogen was introduced into tensile specimens by electrochemical charging, a slow strain-rate test (SSRT) was conducted to investigate hydrogen embrittlement behavior. The SSRT results revealed that the steel with lower Cr or lower Mo content showed relatively poor hydrogen embrittlement resistance. The hydrogen embrittlement resistance of the tempered martensitic steels increased with increasing Mo content, because the reduction in the film-like cementite and prior austenite grain size plays an important role in improving hydrogen embrittlement resistance. The results indicate that controlling the Cr and Mo contents is essential to achieving a tempered martensitic steel with a combination of high strength and excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance.

An optimum route to synthesize Ti-Mo system powders is investigated by analyzing the effect of the heat treatment atmosphere on the formation of the reaction phase by dehydrogenation and hydrogen reduction of ball-milled $TiH_2-MoO_3$ powder mixtures. Homogeneous powder mixtures with refined particles are prepared by ball milling for 24 h. XRD analysis of the heat-treated powder in a hydrogen atmosphere shows $TiH_2$ and $MoO_3$ peaks in the initial powders as well as the peaks corresponding to the reaction phase species, such as $TiH_{0.7}$, TiO, $MoO_2$, Mo. In contrast, powder mixtures heated in an argon atmosphere are composed of Ti, TiO, Mo and $MoO_3$ phases. The formation of reaction phases dependent on the atmosphere is explained by the partial pressure of $H_2$ and the reaction temperature, based on thermodynamic considerations for the dehydrogenation reaction of $TiH_2$ and the reduction behavior of $MoO_3$.

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a strongly correlated oxide exhibiting a first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) that is accompanied by a structural phase transition from a low temperature monoclinic phase to a high-temperature rutile phase. VO2 has attracted significant attention because of a variety of possible applications based on its ultrafast MIT. Interestingly, the transition nature of VO2 is significantly affected by stress due to doping and/or interaction with a substrate and/or surface tension as well as defects. Accordingly, there have been considerable efforts to understand the influences of such factors on the phase transition and the fundamental mechanisms behind the MIT behavior. Here, we present the influences of oxygen deficiency, hydrogen doping, and substrate-induced stress on MIT phenomena in single-crystalline VO2 nanobeams. Specifically, the work function and the electrical resistance of the VO2 nanobeams change with the compositional variation due to the oxygen-deficiency-related defects. In addition, the VO2 nanobeams during exposure to hydrogen gas exhibit the reduction of transition temperature and the complex phase inhomogenieties arising from both substrate-induced stress and the formation of the hydrogen doping-induced metallic rutile phase.

Structure and their redox property of the vanadium oxides prepared by decomposing NH₄VO₃ at various temperatures were studied by XRD, SEM, XPS, and temperature programmed reduction/temperature programmed oxidation (TPR/TPO) experiment. All TPR profiles have two sharp peaks in the temperature range 650-750℃, and the area ratio of the two sharp peaks changed from sample to sample. There were three redox steps in TPR/TPO profiles. The oxidation proceeded in the reverse order of the reduction process, and both the reactions proceeded via quite a stable intermediates. The changes of the morphological factor $(I_{(101)}/I_{(010)})$, the ratio of $O_{1S}$ peak area (O$_{1S}$( α)/O$_{1S}$( β)) in the XPS results, and the ratio of hydrogen consumption in TPR profiles with various vanadium oxides showed the distinct relationship between the structural property and their redox property of vanadium oxides. The change of the specific yield of phthalic anhydride with various vanadium oxides showed a very similar trend to those of the peak area ratio in TPR profiles, which meant that the first reduction step related to the partial oxidation of o-xylene on the vanadium oxide catalyst.

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO₃) is used in various applications including sensors, photocatalysts, and batteries owing to its excellent ionic conductivity and thermal properties. It can also be used as a precursor in the hydrogen reduction process to obtain molybdenum metals. Control of the parameters governing the MoO₃ synthesis process is extremely important because the size and shape of MoO₃ in the reduction process affect the shape, size, and crystallization of Mo metal. In this study, we fabricated MoO₃ nanoparticles using a solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method that utilizes an organic additive, thereby controlling their morphology. The nucleation behavior and particle morphology were confirmed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The concentration of the precursor (ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate) was adjusted to be 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 M. Depending on this concentration, different nucleation rates were obtained, thereby resulting in different particle morphologies.

Chromium was electrodeposited from deep eutectic solvents-based Cr³⁺ electrolytes on HB-pencil graphite electrode. Factors influencing the electrochemical behavior and the processes of Cr nucleation and growth were explored using cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques, respectively. Cr³⁺ reduction was found to occur through an irreversible diffusion-controlled step followed by another irreversible one of impure diffusional behaviour. The reduction behavior was found to be greatly affected by Cr³⁺ concentration, temperature, and type of hydrogen bond donor used in deep eutectic solvents (DESs) preparation. A more comprehensive model was suggested and successfully applied to extract a consistent data relevant to Cr nucleation kinetics from the experimental current density transients. The potential, the temperature, and the hydrogen bond donor type were estimated to be critical factors controlling Cr nucleation. The nucleation and growth processes of Cr from either choline chloride/ethylene glycol (EG-DES) or choline chloride/urea (U-DES) deep eutectic solvents were evaluated at 70℃ to be three-dimensional (3D) instantaneous and diffusion-controlled, respectively. However, the kinetics of Cr nucleation from EG-DES was found to be faster than that from U-DES. Cr nucleation was tending to be instantaneous at higher temperature, potential, and Cr³⁺ concentration. Cr nuclei electrodeposited from EG-DES were characterized at different conditions using scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM images show that high number density of fine spherical nuclei of almost same sizes was nearly obtained at higher temperature and more negative potential. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis confirms that Cr deposits were obtained.
