We have evaluated the role of Ag additions on the strength, fracture toughness, elastic modulus and resistance to thermal shock of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(YBCO) superconductor. Addition of 10 vol.% Ag improved strength and fracture toughness, whereas, decreased elastic modulus of YBCO. In addition, YBCO-Ag composites improved resistance to thermal shock probably due to enhanced strength, fracture toughness and thermal conductivity as a result of Ag addition. It is to be noted that YBCO-Ag made by mixing with $AgNO_3$ solution showed slightly higher strength, fracture toughness and resistance to thermal shock, compared to that made by mixing with metallic Ag powder. These improvements are believed to be due to the microstructure of more finely and uniformly distributed Ag particles.

Dielectrophoretic behavior of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWNT) was investigated theoretically and experimentally. The surface conductance of nanotubes was modulated using anionic and cationic surfactant mixtures. The experimental results indicate that dielectrophoretic behavior of SWNT highly depends on the procedure of mixing two opposite-charged surfactants. Clausius-Mossotti factor was calculated by measuring zeta potentials and solution conductivity. Raman spectroscopy was used to characterize the dielectrophoretically deposited nanotubes arrary. We found that metallic nanotubes were selectively separated from the nanotubes suspension, resulting from modulation of surface conductance of semiconducting SWNT.

Nanofluids are that metallic or nonmetallic nanometer-sized particles are dispersed in liquid. They can be used in various fields to increase the heat transfer rate because the thermal conductivity of nanofluids can be increased significantly. Nanofluids may be used as a good alternative of coolants in spray cooling. This study conducted experiments to compare the characteristics of sprays between water and nanofluid sprays. The radial distributions of droplet velocities and diameters of water, 0.2% wt.(weight), and 0.5% wt. $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids at the pressure of 0.2 and 0.3 MPa were measured by laser doppler instruments. The radial distributions of droplet diameters and velocities at two axial positions with water and 0.2% wt. nanofluid sprays didn't show much difference. A big difference, however, was observed between 0.5% wt. nanofluid and water sprays. With the increase of the mass of nano-particles, the average droplet diameters were increased and the average droplet velocities were decreased.

The simulated DUPIC fuel provides a convenient way to investigate fuel properties and behaviours such as thermal conductivity, thermal expansion, fission gas release, leaching and so on. Several pellets simulating the composition and microstructure of the DUPIC fuel were fabricated from resintering powder through the OREOX process of the simulated spent fuel pellets, which were prepared from the mixture of stable forms of constituent nuclides. This study describes the powder treatment, OREOX, compaction and sintering to fabricate simulated DUPIC fuel using the simulated spent fuel. The homogeneity of additives in the powder was observed after attrition milling. The microstructure of the simulated spent fuel was in agreement with the previous studies. The densities and the grain size of simulated DUPIC fuel was pellets are higher than those of simulated spent fuel pellets. Small metallic precipitates and oxide precipitates were observed on matrix grain boundaries.

Recently, perovskite solar cells have shown tremendous improvement in power conversion efficiencies. Moreover, they have potential in semitransparent solar cell applications due to their high absorption coefficients. In order to fabricate semitransparent perovskite solar cells with good performance, it is essential to consider the suitability of transparent electrode materials in various aspects, such as transparency, conductivity and fabrication process. In this review, candidate materials for transparent electrodes in perovskite solar cells including carbon-based nanomaterials, conductive polymers and metallic nanostructures are discussed.

금속 비저항의 측정방법은 4단자 방법을 비롯한 van der Pauw 방법, Four-Point Probe(FPP) 방법, eddy current 방법 등이 사용되고 있으며, 시료의 혈상과 크기에 따라서 그 측정방법은 각각 다르다. 본 연구에서는 그 중 4단자 방법에 의한 정밀측정방법과 측정불확도 평가에 관하여 고찰하였다. 4단자 방법은 시료가 바(bar)나 봉(rod) 형상이면 측정이 가능하며, 시료의 정밀가공과 측정기술을 통하여 측정 불확도를 줄일 수 있다.

The weight of the bipolar plate is one of the crucial aspects of improving power density in PEMFC stacks. Aluminum alloys have good mechanical properties such as density, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity. Furthermore, using aluminum in a bipolar plate instead of graphite reduces the bipolar plate cost and makes machining easier. Therefore in this study, an aluminum alloy was selected as the appropriate material for a bipolar plate. Results from feasibility experiments with the aim of developing fuel cells consisting of Al bipolar plates with multiple channels are presented. Dynamic loading was applied and the formability of micro channels was estimated as a function of punch pressure and die radius. Sheets of Al5052 with a thickness of 0.3mm were used. For a die radius of 0.1mm the formability was optimized with a sine wave dynamic load of 90kN at maximum pressure and 5 cycles of a sine wave punch travel. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed manufacturing technique for producing bipolar plates.

The electronic band structure and electrical properties of KMo4O6 containing chains of condensed molybdenum octahedra are analyzed by means of the extended Hu&ckel tight-binding method. KMo4O6 has partially filled bands of 1D as well as 3D character. They also exhibit the anisotropic band dispersions with bandwidths much larger along the c* axis than along the directions perpendicular to it. Thus, conduction electrons are essentially delocalized along the c* direction (i.e., the chain of condensed molybdenum octahedra) in the solid. The 1D band of two partially filled d-block bands leads to Fermi surface nesting with the wave vector q=0.3c*. The CDW instability due to this nesting is expected to cause the phase transition associated with the resistivity anomaly at low temperature. The characteristics of metallic behavior in the crystallographic ab plane are explained on the basis of the unnested 2D Fermi surfaces.

Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin molybdenum dichalcogenides $MoS_2$ has gained a great deal of attention in energy conversion and storage applications because of its unique morphology and property. The 2D $MoS_2$ nanosheets provide a high specific surface area, 2D charge channel, sub-nanometer thickness, and high conductivity, which lead to high electrochemical performances for energy storage devices. In this paper, an overview of properties and synthetic methods of $MoS_2$ nanosheets for applications of supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries is introduced. Different phases triangle prismatic 2H and metallic octahedral 1T structured $MoS_2$ were characterized using various analytical techniques. Preparation methods were focused on top-down and bottom-up approaches, including mechanical exfoliation, chemical intercalation and exfoliation, liquid phase exfoliation by the direct sonication, electrochemical intercalation exfoliation, microwave-assisted exfoliation, mechanical ball-milling, and hydrothermal synthesis. In addition, recent applications of supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries using $MoS_2$ electrode materials are discussed.

국제해사기구에서는 선박 배기가스 내 질소산화물($NO_x$) 배출에 대한 강화된 Tier III 규제가 2016년부터 적용됨에 따라 이를 대응하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. $NO_x$ 저감 방법으로 선택적 촉매 환원법(Selective catalytic reduction, SCR)을 주로 사용하고 있으며, 세라믹 허니컴 촉매를 주로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 세라믹 허니컴 촉매는 약한 강도로 인하여 운전상 문제가 발생하거나 유지 및 보수에 있어서도 어려움을 갖는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세라믹 허니컴 촉매의 단점들을 보완하기 위하여 높은 열적 안정성과 기계적 강도를 가짐과 동시에 배기가스의 다방향성 이동을 통한 낮은 배압효과 등의 장점을 가지는 금속 지지체를 적용하였다. 이러한 금속 지지체 상에 촉매를 담지하기 위하여 유 무기바인더 첨가를 통해 코팅슬러리를 제조하고, 이를 코팅, 건조 및 소성과정을 통해 금속 지지체 상에 견고하게 부착된 금속 지지체 기반 촉매를 제조하였다. 이러한 금속 지지체 기반 촉매는 $NO_x$ 성능평가와 초음파 및 낙하시험을 통한 접착 내구성 평가를 수행하였다. 특히, 무기바인더를 첨가한 MFC01경우 95% 이상의 $NO_x$ 전환율을 보였으며, 상용 세라믹 허니컴 촉매보다도 우수한 내구성을 보였다. 이러한 특성 및 성능평가를 통하여 개발된 금속 지지체 기반 촉매는 고효율, 고내구성을 가짐을 확인하였으며, 기존 세라믹 허니컴 촉매를 대체할 수 있는 선박용 배연탈질 촉매로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.
