An all solid-state thin film battery (TFB) was fabricated by growing, undoped and Pt-doped vanadium oxide cathode film ( $V_2$ $O_{5}$ ) on I $n_2$ $O_3$: Sn coated glass, respectively. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on Li/Lipon/ $V_2$ $O_{5}$ full-cell structure with a constant current clearly shows that the Pt-doped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ cathode film is superior, in terms of cyclibility. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that the Pt doping process induces a more random amorphous structure than an undoped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ film. In addition to its modified structure, the Pt-doped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ film has a smoother surface than the undoped sample. Compared to an undoped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ film, the Pt doped $V_2$ $O_{5}$ cathode film has a higher electron conductivity. We hypothesize that the addition of Pt alters electrochemical performance in a manner of making more random amorphous structure and gives an excess electron by replacing the $V^{+5}$. Possible mechanisms are discussed for the observed Pt doping effect on structural and electrochemical properties of vanadium oxide cathode films, which are grown on I $n_2$ $O_3$: Sn coated glass.

A modified two-point impedance spectroscopy technique exploits the geometric constriction between an electrolyte and a cathode with an emphasis on semispherical-shaped electrolytes. The spatial limitation in the electrolyte/electrode interface leads to local amplification of the electrochemical reaction occurring in the corresponding electrolyte/electrode region. The modified impedance spectroscopy was applied to electrical monitoring of a YSZ ($Y_2O_3$-stabilized $ZrO_2$)/SSC ($Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3$) system. The resolved bulk and interfacial component was numerically analyzed in combination with an equivalent circuit model. The effectiveness of the "spreading resistance" concept is validated by analysis of the electrode polarization in the cathode materials of solid oxide fuel cells.

The surface of $Li[Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}]O_2$ cathode particle was modified by lanthanum based oxide to improve electrochemical property and thermal stability. The XRD pattern of surface layer was indexed with that of $La_4NiLiO_8$. The discharge capacity of modified electrode was higher than that of pristine sample, specially at fast charge-discharge rate and high cut-off voltage. In the DSC profile of the charged sample, the generation of heat by exothermic reaction was decreased by surface modification. Such enhancement may by attributed to the presence of stable lanthanum based oxide, which effectively suppressd the reaction between electrode and electrolyte on the surface of $Li[Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}]O_2$ electrode.

[ $PPy^+DBS^-$ ] 복합체는 유화중합에 의해 제조되었고 이때 iron(III) chloride($FeCl_3$)는 개시제로, dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid(DBSA)는 계면활성제 및 도판트로 사용되었다. Poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO)는 chlorosulfonic acid(CSA)를 사용하여 설폰화되었고 양극은 $PPy^+DBS^-$ 복합체, 도전제 그리고 바인더로 구성되며 이때 바인더로 PPO와 설폰화된 poly (2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO)를 사용하였다. $PPy^+DBS^-/SPPO$ 양극은 $PPy^+DBS^-/PPO$에 비해 약 50% 높은 충 방전 성능을 나타내었는데 이는 SPPO가 바인더뿐만 아니라 도판트로 작용했기 때문이다. 더욱이 바인더로 사용된 고분자의 설폰화는 전도성 고분자와의 coulombic attraction을 유발시켜 두 상간의 혼화성을 증가시켰을 뿐만 아니라 양극과 전해질 사이의 접촉면적을 증가시켜 전기화학적으로 우수한 성능을 나타나게 했다.

LSM is widely used as a cathode material in SOFC, because of its high electrochemical activity, good stability and compatibility with YSZ electrolyte at high temperature. However, LSM in traditional cathode materials will not generate a satisfactory performance at intermediate temperature. In order to reduce the polarization resistance of cell with the operating temperature of SOFC system, the cathode material of LSCF is one of the most suitable electrode materials because of its high mixed ionic and electronic conductivity. In this report, cathode material, $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_3$ powder for intermediate temperature SOFC was synthesized by Pechini method using the starting materials such as nitrate of La, Sr, Co and Fe including ethylene glycol, etc. As a result, the synthesized powder that calcined above $700^{\circ}C$ exhibits successfully perovskite structure, indicating phase-pure of LSCF. Moreover, the particle size, surface area, crystal structure and morphology of the synthesized oxide powders were characterized by SEM, XRD, and BET, etc. In order to evaluate the electrochemical performance for the synthesized powder, slury mixture using the synthesized cathode material was coated by screen-printing process on the anode-supported electrolyte which was prepared by a tape casting method and co-sintering. Finally, electrochemical studies of the SOFC unit cell, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed.

Among the Ruddlesden-Popper series, $La_4Ni_3O_{10}$ has received widespread attention as a promising cathode material by reason of its favorable properties for realizing high performance of intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). The $La_4Ni_3O_{10}$ cathode is prepared using the facile sol-gel method by employing tri-blockcopolymer (F127) to obtain a single phase in a short sintering time. There are no reactions between the $La_4Ni_3O_{10}$ cathode and the $Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{2-\delta}$ (GDC) electrolyte upon sintering at $1000^{\circ}C$, indicating that the $La_4Ni_3O_{10}$ cathode has good chemical compatibility with the GDC electrolyte. The maximum electrical conductivity of $La_4Ni_3O_{10}$ reaches approximately 240 S $cm^{-1}$ at $100^{\circ}C$ and gradually decreases with increasing temperaturein air atmosphere. The area specific resistance value of $La_4Ni_3O_{10}$ composite with 40 wt% GDC is $0.435{\Omega}cm^2$ at $700^{\circ}C$. These data allow us to propose that the $La_4Ni_3O_{10}$-GDC composite cathode is a good candidate for IT-SOFC applications.

The effect of Co dopant on the (La, Sr)MnO3 cathode was investigated. La2Zr2O7 and SrZrO3 were formed as the reaction products between YSZ and LSMC. The reactivity of LSMC with YSZ increased with increasing Co content. However, the cathodic polarization resistance decreased with increasing Co doping. Therefore, doping Co at Mn site in the (La, Sr)MnO3 cathode was effective on controlling the polarization resistance of the cathode. The polarization property of LSMC-YSZ composite(60 wt%: 40 wt%) cathode was better than that of LSMC single cathode.

Top emission organic EL devices were fabricated by using metal-doped cathode interface layer to achieve low drive voltages. Also, facing-targets-type sputtering was used to sputter indium-tin oxide layer on top of organic active layer. The devices fabricated in this study showed reasonably high external quantum efficiency of about 1 % which is comparable to that of bottom-emission-type devices.

CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp)는 LCD의 BLU와 특수조명용으로 널리 활용되고 있다. CCFL 제조공정에 있어 CCFL 전극 산화막이 형성되어 솔더 불량을 가져오기 때문에 산화 막 제거가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CCFL 전극 산화 막 제거를 위하여 플라즈마 처리를 수행하였다. 플라즈마 처리 최적 공정 확보하기위하여 면 저항, XRD, AFM, 솔더링 테스트 등의 분석이 진행되었다. 플라즈마 최적 공정 조건인 사용전력 600W와 처리시간 70초에서 최소의 면 저항과 최대의 솔더 피복 비율이 측정되었다. 이와 같은 현상은 플라즈마 처리로 구리 산화 막 제거에 기인한 것으로 확인되어 플라즈마를 이용한 전극 산화 막 제거 공정은 CCFL 전극 처리 공정에 활용이 기대된다.

In this study, we investigated the long-term stability of Nd₂NiO₄ solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) cathodes to evaluate their chromium poisoning tolerance. Symmetrical cells consisting of Nd2NiO4 electrodes and a yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte were fabricated and the cell potential and polarization resistance were measured at 850 ℃ in the presence of gaseous chromium species for 800 h. Up to 500 h of operation, the cell potential remained constant at 500 mA/㎠. However, it increased slightly over the operation duration of 550-800 h. No appreciable increase was observed in the polarization resistance of the Nd₂NiO₄ cathode during the entire operation of 800 h. Physicochemical examinations revealed that the gaseous chromium species did not form chromium-related contamination not only in the Nd₂NiO₄ cathode but also at the cathode/electrolyte interface. The results demonstrated that Nd₂NiO₄ is resistant to chromium poisoning, and hence is a potential alternative to standard perovskite cathodes.
