  • A new synthesis method for the preparation of Pt electrocatalysts on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) is reported. In this method, Pt electrocatalysts are loaded onto 2-naphthalenethiol (NT) functionalized CNFs. The noncovalent functionalization of CNFs by NT is the effective way for better distribution of Pt particles and higher electrocatalytic activity in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. It was found that the presence of NT acts as a poison to catalysts. Therefore, it is necessary to remove NT through the heat treatment at $400^{\circ}C$.

  • PEM fuel cell produces electric power, water and heat by the electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. The heating value is dependent on the molar enthalpy of vaporization of product water and the performance loss. In this paper, the heating value of fuel cell stack has been studied under various stack operating temperatures to achieve more efficient heat management. A technology using the molar enthalpy of vaporization of product water is suggested to reduce heat-up time during start-up of a fuel cell vehicle.

  • This paper deals with a Z-source active power filter(Z-AFU) for mitigation voltage THD(total harmonic distortion) due to voltage harmonic propagation(amplification) in 6.6kv power distribution system. Bus voltage harmonic signal is detected by 60Hz butterworth BPF(band pass filter). As an ESS(energy storage system) of the proposed system, PEM fuel cells(Ballard NEXA, 1.2kw) is employed. Test results based on PSIM(power electronics simulation tool) validate the proposed approach.

  • The Internet e-mail security software and standards, such as PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) and PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail), have several limitations that should be overcome for their further applications to the Internet and network environments. In order to improve and reengineer those software, details of the As-Is software processing should be analyzed. One of the possible techniques for software analysis is IDEFO function modeling. Although IDEFO has been mainly used for BPR as one of the industrial engineering techniques, it has been rarely applied to the analysis of software processing and reengineering in computer and software engineering fields. Additionally, no sufficient details of PGP and PEM processing are analyzed in the literature. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the application of the IDEFO to the systems analysis of the Internet e-mail security software as well as to provide software developers with the basis for software improvements.

  • This is the experimental research that tries to explain a variety of RH is how to affect the cell performance and the flooding phenomenon of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). A value of PH changes to 0%, 50% and 90% as its variation, either stoichiometric flow rate changes to 1.5, 2 and 4. Into the comparison between theoretical and experimental value, this study analyzes that a variety of PH is how 10 affect flooding in the cathode of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The effect of air stoichiometry, air humidity and different flow fields are also discussed in this paper This study has accomplished the measurement of performance as the variety of RH in the cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cell, moreover it has recorded the visualization of flooding in the cathode with a high-speed micro camera.

  • This paper proposes a new power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a ZVS DC-DC converter and 3-phase inverter. The ZVS DC-DC converter with a digital controller boosts the fuel cell voltage of 26-50V up to 400V, and the grid-tie inverter controls the active power delivered to the grid. The operation of proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype, which was built with 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack, 1kW DC-DC converter, and 3kW PWM inverter. The proposed system can be utilized to commercialize an interconnection system for the fuel-cell power generation.

  • 최근 잇따라 발생하고 있는 이상 기후로 탄소 중립에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 우리나라 정부도 신재생에너지 중심의 에너지 전환과 수소 경제 활성화에 대한 정책을 연일 발표하면서 많은 국책 과제들이 추진되고 있다. 잉여 재생에너지를 수소 가스로 변환하여 저장했다가 필요할 때 다시 전기로 사용하거나, 수소 가스 자체를 타 산업에 활용할 수 있게 해주는 핵심 기술이 수전해 기술이다. 다양한 수전해 기술 중에 PEM 수전해 기술은 재생에너지의 빠른 변동에 신속하게 대응할 수 있어 재생에너지 확산과 더불어 최근 높은 관심을 받고 있는 기술이다. 그러나 비싼 촉매와 내부식성이 필요한 핵심 부품들이 국산화 되어 있지 않아 장치의 가격이 높은 상황이다. 그에 따라 아직은 수전해를 통해 생산된 수소 단가가 다른 기술을 통해 생산된 수소들 보다 가격이 높아 상업화가 더디게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 정밀 가공, 열처리, 코팅 등의 뿌리 기술들을 이용하면 PEM 수전해기의 핵심 부품인 bipolar plate나 end plate, 분리판 등을 국산화 하여 수소 생산 단가를 낮출 수 있는 여지는 충분하다. 탄소 중립에 반드시 필요한 그린 수소가 가격 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있도록 산업간 기술 협력이 절실한 시점이다.

  • The current research brings the spotlight onto customer Gapjil toward service employees. In an attempt to understand what brings Gapjil, the present article investigates the intertwined effects of perceived economic mobility (PEM), self-other referent priming (SORP), and temporal focus on Gapjil. Study 1 shows that PEM increases Gapjil among self-referent primed people, but not among other-referent primed people. Study 2 examining the role of temporal focus (present vs. future) reveals that the effect found in study 1 is replicated in the present focus, but the effect is reversed in the future focus. We explain this dynamic pattern of the 3-way interaction effect with a relative gratification and a motivation to attune the self to the perceived norm of the high class. We also discuss how to create a social atmosphere to lessen Gapjil in public and corporate communication strategies.
