The vacuum die casting is a promising candidate of the stamping process for fabrication of fuel cell bipolar plate due to its advantages, such as precision casting, mass production and short production time. This study proposes vacuum die casting process to fabricate bipolar plates in fuel cell. Bipolar plates were fabricated under various injection conditions such as molten metal temperature and injection velocity. Also, according to injection velocity conditions, simulation results of MAGMA soft were compared to the experimental results. In case of melt temperature $650^{\circ}C$, misrun occurred. When the melt temperature was $730^{\circ}C$, mechanical properties were low due to dendrite microstructure. Injection velocity has to set at more than 2.0 m/s to fabricate the sound sample. When melt temperature, injection velocity (Fast shot), and vacuum pressure are $700^{\circ}C$, 2.5 m/s and 30 kPa respectively, sample had good formability and few casting defects. Simulation results are mostly in agreement with experimental results.

본 연구에서는 휴대용 기기에 고분자 전해질막 연료전지(PEMFC)를 적용하기 위하여 상온에서 작동 시의 성능특성을 정상상태와 동적상태에서 관찰하였다. 상대습도 및 공기 화학양론비에 따른 PEMFC 성능 변화를 실험적으로 분석하였다. 또한, EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy)를 이용하여 내부 오믹 저항의 변화를 고찰하였다. $35^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 물질 전달률이 감소하여 $45^{\circ}C$ 조건에 비해 전압 변동이 10배 정도 크게 관찰되었으며 안정적인 작동을 위해 공기의 화학양론비를 2.5 보다 크게 유지하여야 한다. 또한 낮은 상대습도는 오믹 저항을 크게 증가시키며, 이를 감소시키기 위해 상대습도 60% 이상으로 작동하여야 한다.

In-situ lithiated NiO has been manufactured as a conventional cathode material of molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), however this material has a weakness for commercialization of MCFC because NiO is spontaneously dissolved into the electrolyte under MCFC operating conditions, resulting in short circuit between cathode and anode. In this research, therefore, $Co(OH)_2$-coated Ni powder was prepared by precipitation method with controlling pH at low temperature and atmospheric pressure. Modified cathode was fabricated by a conventional tape casting method and sintered at 700$^{\circ}C$ in a $H_2/N_2$ atmosphere, Based on characterization result, Pore size distribution and porosity was suitable for the cathode of MCFC. According to the result of dissolution, Ni solubility of modified cathode was 33% lower than that of conventional cathode. In addition, modified electrode showed a good performance from the single cell operation.

고체산화물 연료전지의 작동온도를 낮추고 셀의 출력 밀도를 향상시키기 위해 연료극 지지체식 셀을 제조하고 공기극의 구조를 개선시켜 그 특성을 조사 분석하였다. 셀 제조는 습식법에 의해 이루어졌으며, 제조된 연료극 지지체상에 전해질을 코팅하고 최종적으로 공기극을 코팅하였다. 제조된 셀은 $8mol\%\;V_2O_3$로 안정화된 $ZrO_2(YSZ)$ 전해질 층 및 Ni/YSZ 연료극 지지체로 이루어졌으며, 공기극은 $(La_{0.85}Sr_{0.15})_{0.9}MnO_{3-x}(LSM),\;LSM/YSZ(LY)$ 복합체, $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_3{LSCF)$를 두층 또는 3층으로 두께를 변화시키면서 코팅하였다 임피던스로 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였으며, $3\%$수분을 함유한 수소와 공기로 $800^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 단전지의 성능을 평가하였다 작동온도 $800^{\circ}C$에서, $LY\;9{\mu}m/LSM\;9{\mu}m/LSCF\;17{\mu}m$의 다층이 코팅된 전지가 $590mW/cm^2$로 가장 좋은 성능을 나타냈으며, $0.244{\Omega}cm^2$로 가장 작은 분극저항을 가졌다. 측정된 임피던스 결과, 공기극의 분극저항이 3층 코팅된 셀의 경우 가장 작게 나타났음을 확인하였으며, 이것은 LY복합전극에 의한 전극 계면 저항 감소뿐 만 아니라 LSCF에 의한 공기극의 산소환원 반응의 전하이동 저항이 감소하였기 때문인 것으로 해석된다.

본 논문에서는 석탄의 물리적 화학적 구조에 의한 직접탄소 연료전지 내부의 전기화학 반응 특성의 변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 석탄의 구조, 표면적 및 기공체적, 작용기의 분포 등을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 분석 기법(TGA, XRD, BET, XPS)을 사용하였다. 석탄 내부에 존재하는 탄소의 강력한 결정구조는 연료의 비표면적 및 기공크기를 축소시켜 고 전류밀도 영역에서 급격한 포텐셜의 감소를 초래한다. 표면에 분포하는 작용기는 저전류 밀도 영역에서의 전기화학 반응에 영향을 미치며, 제한 전류밀도 및 최대 전력밀도는 전체 탄소의 양과 밀접한 상관관계를 가지고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전해질의 물질전달 향상 및 작동온도에 의한 영향도 논하였다.

$La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.2-x}Zn_xO_{2.8}$(LSGMZ, X=0-0.05) was prepared using a solid state reaction method. Two secondary phases ($LaSrGaO_4$ and $LaSrGa_3O_7$) of powders were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. The relative amount of these secondary phases depended on the calcination conditions (temperature and time) and Zn content. The sintering density of LSGMZ was enhanced by increasing the Zn content and calcination temperature at the low sintering temperatures ($1250-1300^{\circ}C$). The relationship between the sintering density of LSGMZ and the synthesis conditions was discussed considering the phase analysis results.

The air supply system has a significant effect on the efficiency of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems. The performance and efficiency of automotive PEMFC systems are greatly influenced by their air supply system configurations. This study deals with the system simulation of automotive PEMFC systems using MATLAB/Simulink framework. In this study, a low-pressure operating PEMFC system adopting blower sub-module (turbo-blower) is modeled to investigate the effects of stack operating temperature and air stoichiometry on the parasitic power and efficiency of automotive PEMFC systems. In addition, the PEMFC net system efficiency and parasitic power of air supply system are mainly compared for the two types (low-pressure operating and high-pressure operating) of automotive PEMFC systems under the same net power conditions. It is suggested that the obtained results from this system approach can be applied for establishing the novel operating strategies for FC vehicles.

Power densities produced by the permeation of methanol through membranes were directly measured by inserting the membrane in front of anode in a membrane-electrode-assembly of a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). The power density was closely related to the loss of power in the DMFC and was strongly affected by temperature. As the cell temperature was increased, the power density resulting from methanol crossover was increased. The increase in methanol crossover had be attributed to diffusion caused or affected by temperature. Methanol crossover a major effect on the performance of a DMFC at a relatively low temperature with $26\%\;loss\;at\;30^{\circ}C$. In order to reduce methanol crossover, a conventional Nafion membrane was modified by the incorporation of Pt or Pd. The reduction in methanol crossover was investigated in these modified membranes by our cell performance measurement. Pt and Pd particles incorporated in the Nafion membranes block methanol pathway and prevent methanol transport through the membranes, which was proved by combining with liquid chromatography.

Solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC) is an electrochemical energy conversion system with high efficiency and low-emission of pollution. In order to reduce the operating temperature of SOFC system under $800^{\circ}C$, the thickness reduction of YSZ electrolyte to be as thin as possible, e.g., less than 10 ${\mu}m$ are considered with the microstructure control and optimum design of unit cell. Methods for reducing the thickness of YSZ electrolyte have been investigated in coin cell. Moreover, a large unit cell($8cm{\times}8cm$) for SOFC was fabricated using an anode-supported electrolyte assembly with a thinner electrolyte layer, which was prepared by a tape casting method with a co-sintering technique. we studied the design factors such as active layer, electrolyte thickness, cathode composition, etc,. by the coin type of unit cell ahead of the fabrication process of a large unit cell and also reviewed about the evaluation technique of a large size unit cell such as interconnect design, sealing materials and current collector and so forth. Electrochemical evaluations of the unit cells, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed and analyzed. Maximum power density and polarization impedance of coin cell were 0.34W/$cm^2$ and $0.45{\Omega}cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. However, Maxium power density of a large unit cell($5cm{\times}5cm$) decreased to 0.21W/$cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}C$ due to the increase of ohmic resistance. However, It was found that the potential value of a large unit cell loaded by 0.22A/$cm^2$ showed 0.76V at 100hrs without the degradation of unit cell.
