Performance characteristics of the planar-type solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) are investigated by the analysis of flow fields coupled with heat and mass transfer phenomena in anode and cathode channels. For these purposes, performance analysis of the SOFC is conducted based on electrochemical reaction phenomena in electrodes and electrolyte coupled with flow fields in anode and cathode channels. In the present study, the isothermal model adopted in the previous paper prepared by the same authors is extended to the non-isothermal model by solving energy equation additionally with momentum and mass transfer equations using CFD technique. It is found that the difference between isothermal and non-isothermal models come from non-uniform temperature distribution along anode and cathode electrodes by solving energy equation in non-isothermal model. Non-uniform temperature distribution in non-isothermal model contributes to the increase of average temperature of the fuel cell and influences its performance characteristics.

본 논문에서는 차세대 고용량 양극 물질로 각광받고 있는 리튬리치계 산화물의 나노입자의 제조방법에 대해 보고하고 있다. 리튬리치계 산화물은 기존에 사용되고 있는 $LiCoO_2$와 같은 양극물질의 50-80% 이상 높은 용량으로 인해 고용량 이차전지용 양극재료로 기대를 받고 있다. 그러나 이온 및 전자전도성이 좋지 못하여 고율특성이 취약한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 리튬리치계 산화물을 나노입자화 하여 고율특성을 향상시키는데 연구의 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이를 위해 제조공정에서 2가지 계면활성제를 사용, 입자를 분산시켜 나노화 하였다. 나노 입자를 가진 리튬리치 산화물의 전기화학적 특성을 관찰한 결과 상대적으로 우수한 고율특성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A new Lateral Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(LTIGBT) with p$^{+}$ diverter was proposed to improve the characteristics of the conventional LTIGBT. The forward blocking voltage of the proposed LTIGBT with p$^{+}$ diverter was about 140V. That of the conventional LTIGBT of the same size was 105V. Because the p$^{+}$ diverter region of the proposed device was enclosed trench oxide layer, he electric field moved toward trench-oxide layer, and punch through breakdown of LTIGBT with p$^{+}$ diverter was occurred, lately. Therefore, the p$^{+}$ diverter of the proposed LTIGBT didn't relate to breakdown voltage in a different way the conventional LTIGBT. The Latch-up current densities of the conventional LTIGBT and proposed LTIGBT were 540A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and 1453A/$\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively. The enhanced latch-up capability of the proposed LTIGBT was obtained through holes in the current directly reaching the cathode via the p$^{+}$ divert region and p$^{+}$ cathode layer beneath n$^{+}$ cathode layer./ cathode layer.

We have investigated the Pt doping effect on structural and electrochemical properties of amorphous vanadium oxide film, grown by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Room temperature charge-discharge measurements based on a half-cell with a constant current clearly indicated that the Pt doping could improve the cyclibility of V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Using glancing angle x-ray diffraction (GXRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analysis, we found that the Pt doping with l0W r.f. power induce more random amorphous structure than undoped V$_2$O$_{5}$ film. As the r.f. power of Pt increases, large amount of Pt incorporates into amorphous V$_2$O$_{5}$ and makes PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix. This result suggests that the semicondcuting PtOx microcrystalline phase in amorphous matrix lead to a drastically faded cyclibility of 50W Pt doped V$_2$O$_{5}$ cathode film. Possible explanations are given to describe the Pt doping effect on cyclibility of vanadium oxide cathode film.de film.

Electrical, optical, surface, and structural properties of amorphous indium-zinc-oxide (a-IZO) grown by box cathode sputtering (BCS) were compared with crystalline indium-tin-oxide (c-ITO) anode films grown by conventional DC sputtering (DCS). Although x-ray diffraction plot of BCS-grown IZO film shows amorphous structure, the optical and electrical properties of a-IZO is comparable to those of c-ITO film. In particular, BCS-grown IZO films shows very smooth surface without defects such as pin hole and cracks because most of the energy of the sputtered atoms was confined in high density plasma region in box cathode gun. Furthermore polymer organic light emitting diodes (POLED) with the a-IZO anode film shows better electrical properties than that of POLED with the c-ITO anode film due to high work function and smooth surface of a-IZO. This suggested that BCS-grown a-IZO film is promising anode materials substituting conventional c-ITO anode in OLED and flexible displays.

최근 리튬이차전지 양극 소재의 다양한 열화 메커니즘들이 밝혀지면서 이것을 제어하여 새로운 전기화학적 특성을 구현하고 기존 소재의 한계점을 극복하고자 하는 연구결과들이 많이 보고되고 있다. 특히, 리튬과잉산화물은 250 mA h g^-1 이상의 고 용량 차세대 리튬이차전지 양극 물질로 주목받고 있으나, 충방전 과정 중에 소재 특유의 원자 구조 열화로 인해 활용이 제한되고 있다. 본 연구는 0.4Li₂MnO₃_0.6LiNi_1/3Co_1/3Mn_1/3O₂ 리튬과잉소재의 충방전 과정 중에서 겪는 원자 구조 변화 과정을 분석하여 소재의 열화 과정을 밝히고 이를 개선하기 위한 연구 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 원자 단위의 분해능을 갖는 전자투과현미경을 활용하여 충방전 중 원자 구조의 변화 과정을 분석하고 이러한 구조 변화가 소재의 전기화학적 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 밝히고자 하였다. 충전 과정 중에 발생한 다량의 리튬 빈자리로 인해 구조 불안정성이 일어났고, 이로 인해 전이 금속이 리튬 빈 자리로 이동하면서 구조 열화가 확인되었다. 결과적으로 이러한 구조 변이는 리튬과잉소재의 가장 큰 문제점인 방전 전압 강하 특성을 야기한다는 것을 알아내었다.

In this study, a $Li_2ZrO_3$ coated $Li[Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}]O_2$ (NCA) cathode was applied to an all-solid-state cell employing a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. Sulfide-based solid electrolytes are preferable for all-solid-state cells because of their high ionic conductivity and good softness and elasticity. However, sulfides are very reactive with oxide cathodes, and this reduces the stability of the cathode/electrolyte interface of all-solid-state cells. $Li_2ZrO_3$ is expected to be a suitable coating material for the cathode because it can suppress the undesirable reactions at the cathode/sulfide electrolyte interface because of its good stability and high ionic conductivity. Cells employing $Li_2ZrO_3$ coated NCA showed superior capacity to those employing pristine NCA. Analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy confirmed that the $Li_2ZrO_3$ coating layer suppresses the propagation of S and P into the cathode and the reaction between the cathode and the sulfide solid electrolyte. These results show that $Li_2ZrO_3$ coating is promising for reducing undesirable side reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface of all-solid-state-cells.

The intermediate operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) have achieved considerable importance in the area of power fabrication. This is because to improve materials compatibility, their long-term stability and cost saving potential. However, to conserve rational cell performance at reduced-temperature regime, cathode performance should be obtained without negotiating the internal resistance and the electrode kinetics of the cell. Recently, double perovskite structure cathodes have been studied with great attention as a potential material for IT-SOFCs. In this study, double-perovskite structured cathodes of $GdBaCoCuO_{5+\delta}$, $GdBaCo_{2/3}Cu_{2/3}Fe_{2/3}O_{5+\delta}$ compositions and $(1-x)GdBaCo_2O_{5+\delta}+xCe_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{1.95}$ (x = 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt.%) composites were evaluated as the cathode for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells(IT-SOFCs). Electrical conductivity of the cathodes were measured by DC 4-probe method, and the thermal expansion coefficient of each sample was measured up to $900^{\circ}C$ by a dilatometer study. Area specific resistances(ASR) of the $GdBaCo_{2/3}Cu_{2/3}Fe_{2/3}O_{5+\delta}$ cathode and 70 wt.% $GdBaCo_2O5+\delta$ + 30wt.% Ce0.9Gd0.1O1.95 composite cathode on CGO electrolyte substrate were analyzed using AC 3-probe impedance study. The obtained results demonstrate that double perovskite-based compositions are promising cathode materials for IT-SOFCs.

In this paper, investigations of thick film $La_{0.75}Sr_{0.25}Ga_{0.8}Mg_{0.16}Fe_{0.04}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (LSGMF) cells fabricated via spin coating on either NiO-YSZ anode or $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Ga_{0.6}Fe_{0.4}O_3$ (LSGF) cathode substrates are presented. A La-doped $CeO_2$ (LDC) layer is inserted between NiO-YSZ and LSGMF in order to prevent reactions from occurring during co-firing. For the LSGF cathode-supported cell, no interlayer was required because the components of the cathode are the same as those of LSGMF with the exception of Mg. An LSGMF electrolyte slurry was deposited homogeneously on the porous supports via spin coating. The current-voltage characteristics of the anode and cathode supported LSGMF cells at temperatures between $700^{\circ}C$ and $850^{\circ}C$ are described. The LSGF cathode supported cell demonstrates a theoretical OCV and a power density of ~420 mW $cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}C$, whereas the NiO-YSZ anode supported cell with the LDC interlayer demonstrates a maximum power density of ~350 mW $cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}C$, which decreased more rapidly than the cathode supported cell despite the presence of the LDC interlayer. Potential causes of the degradation at temperatures over $700^{\circ}C$ are also discussed.
