This paper dealt with the manufacturing of binary alloy catalyst and showed simple electrochemical method for determing catalytic activity of oxygen reduction in acid or alkaline electrolyte. The catalyst was prepared by impregnating transition metal salts on platinum or silver particles adsorbed before on carbon paper substrate. The electrochemical characteristics of the catalysts was investigated with carbon paper electrode or PTFE-boned porous electrode and then cathodic current densities and tafel slopes were compared. As a result, of all binary catalysts utilized in this work, Pt-Fe, Pt-Mo showed better oxygen reduction activity than pure platinum catalyst in acid electrolyte and Ag-Fe, Ag-Pt, and Ag-Ni-Bi-Ti catalyst did than pure silver catalyst in alkaline electrolyte. The current density of Pt-Fe electrode in acid electrolyte was one and half times higher than that of Pt electrode(~500mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.7VvsNHE).

A series of microporous PVDF membranes were prepared by isothermal immersionprecipitation of PVDF/TEP casting dopes in both soft and harsh coagulation baths. Morphologies of the membranes' top surfaces were found to depend strongly on the bath strength, which could be controlled by the TEP content in the bath. By changing the bath gradually from pure water to 70% TEP, the top surface evolved from a dense skin-like (asymmetric) to a totally open porous morphology (symmetric). The latter structure could similarly be obtained by precipitation of the same dope in an alcoholic bath, e.g., 1-butanol. Membrane distillation processes to desalt sodium chloride aqueous solutions were conducted using various prepared membranes and two commercial microporous membranes, PTFE (Toyo, Japan, code: J020A330R) and PVDF (GE, USA, code: YMJWSP3001). The permeation fluxes were compared and correlated with the morphologies of the tested membranes.

A micro porous PTFE membrane desolvator (MMD) was built and evaluated for the on-line removal of organic solvents to facilitate the determination of trace metal contaminants in the solvents by ICP-AES. Three organic solvents, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), methanol, and dimethy sulfoxide (DMSO) were studied. The MMD reduced organic solvent concentration in the sample aerosol stream by 82% to 89%, as indicated by monitoring C(I) emission. Net signal intensity of Fe, Al, and Cu was increasing with higher organic solvent concentration, with the rate of increase being solvent dependent. The signal intensities for Mg and Pb followed the trend with the C(I) signal. Changing the sweep gas flow rate affected the optimum signal intensity. Wine samples were analyzed by the method of standard addition. The concentrations of B, Al, and Mg were determined with a relative precision of less than 2.3%.

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) have received a lot of attention as a power source for both stationary and mobile applications due to their attractive feature. In general, the performance of PEFCs is highly affected by the property of the electrodes. A PEFC electrode essentially consists of a gas diffusion layer and a catalyst layer. The gas difusion layer is highly porous and hydrophobicized with PTFE polymer. The catalyst layer usually contains electrocatalyst, proton conducting polymer, even PTFE as additive. Particularly, the proton conducting ionomer helps to increase the catalytic activity at three-phase boundary and catalyst utilization. Futhermore, it helps to retain moisture, resulting in preventing the electrodes from membrane dehydration. The most widely used proton conducting ionomer is perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer, namely, Nafion from DuPont due to its high proton conductivity and good mechanical property. However, there are great demands for alternative ionomers based on non-fluorinated materials in terms of high temperature availability, environmental adaptability and production cost. In this study, the electrodes with the various content of the sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) ionomer in the catalyst layer were prepared. In addition, we evaluated electrochemical properties of the prepared electrodes containing the various amount of the ionomers by using the cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy to find an optimal ionomer composition in the catalyst layer.

Fabric fibrous filter has been used in various industrial applications owing to the low cost and wide generality. However, the basic properties of fabric materials often limit the practical utilization including hot gas cleaning. This study attempts to find new coatings of porous fibrous filter media in order to overcome its insufficient thermal resistance and durability. Teflon was one of the plausible chemicals to supplement the vulnerability against frequent external thermal impacts. A foaming agent composed of Teflon and some organic additives was tentatively coated on the glass fiber mat. The present test Teflon foam coated filter was fount to be useful for hot gas cleaning, up to $250^{\circ}C$-$300^{\circ}C$. Close examination using XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and Contact angle proved the binding interactions between carbon and fluorine, which implies coating stability. The PTFE/Glass foam coated filter consisted of more than 95% (C-F)n bond, and showed super-hydrophobic with good-oleophobic characteristics. The contact angle of liquid droplets on the filter surface enabled to find the filter wet-ability against liquid water or oil.

본 연구에서는 석탄 화력발전소의 연소 후 $CO_2$ 회수 기술인 알칸올 아민 수용액을 이용한 아민흡수법에서 전체 운전비의 80% 가량을 차지하는 탈거에너지의 저감을 위해 새로운 탈거기술인 분리막을 이용한 감압탈거 기술을 제시하고자 한다. 막의 소재로는 소수성막인 PE (polyethylene)를 지지체로 하고 $5{\mu}m$ 두께의 PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane)를 코팅한 복합막을 제조하여 적용하였으며, 흡수액으로 MEA (monoethanolamine) 30 wt% 수용액을 사용하였다. 온도의 변화에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위하여 흡수액 온도를 $25{\sim}80^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜 이산화탄소의 탈거특성을 살펴보았으며, 흡수용액의 $CO_2$ 함량($CO_2$ loading)에 따른 영향을 고찰하기 위하여 $CO_2$ 함량을 변화시켰다. 또한 감압탈거 시 탈거측 압력을 60~360 mmHg(abs.)로 변화시켜 진공도에 따른 탈거특성을 연구하였다. 아민수용액의 온도가 증가할수록, 이산화탄소 부하량이 증가할수록 이산화탄소의 탈거량은 증가하는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 감압이 감소함에 따라 이산화탄소의 탈거량 역시 증가하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 막의 안정성 실험 결과 PTFE 단일막에 비하여 PDMS-PE 복합막의 경우 감압탈거 막공정에 적용하기 안정한 막이라고 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 낮은 막 저항과 높은 수산화 이온 전도성을 가지는 세공 충진 이온교환막 제조법으로 연구하였다. 알칼리 내구성을 향상하기 위해 폴리 테트라 플로오 에틸렌 소재인 다공성 지지체를 사용하였고 세공에는 단량체 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC)를 이용하여 copolymer를 제조했다. 가교제는 divinylbenzene (DVB)를 사용하였고 가교제 함량별로 이온교환막을 제조하여 DMAEMA-DVB와 VBC-DMAEMA-DVB copolymer에서 가교제 함량이 미치는 영향에 관해 연구하였다. 그 결과, PTFE 소재 지지체를 이용하여 화학적 안정성이 향상했고 저압 UV 램프를 사용하여 낮은 온도에서 빠른 광중합이 가능하여 생산성을 높일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 음이온교환 막 연료전지에 요구되는 이온교환막의 물리적 및 화학적 안정성을 확인하기 위해서 인장강도와 내알칼리성 테스트를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 가교도가 증가할수록 인장강도 대략 40 MPa가 증가하였고, 최종적으로 이온전도도와 내알칼리성 테스트를 통해 가교제 함량이 증가할수록 알칼리 안정성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

In this study, we have prepared, as the pluse power source, a commercially supplied Li-ion battery with a capacity of 700 mAh and AC resistivity of 60 md at 1 kHz and nonaqeous asymmetric hybrid capacitor composed of an activated carbon cathode and MCMB anode, and have examined the electrochemical characteristics of hybrid capacitor and the pulse performances of parallel connected hybrid capacitor/Li-ion battery source. The nonaqueous asymmetric hybrid capacitors constituted with each stack number of pairs composed of the cathode, the porous separator and the anode electrode were housed in Al-laminated film cell. The 10 stacked hybrid capacitor, which was charged and discharged at a constant current at 0.25 $mA/cm^2$ between 3 and 4.3 V, has exhibited the capacitance of 108F and the lowest equivalent series resistance was 32 $m{\Omega}$ at 1 kHz. On the other hand, the enhanced run time of Li-ion battery assisted by the hybrid capacitor was obtained with increasing of current density and pulse width in Pulse mode. The best improvement, $84\;\%$ for hybrid capacitor/Li-ion battery was obtained in the condition of a 7C-rate pulse (100 msec)/0.5C-rate standby/$10\;\%$ duty cycle.

Polyvinylidene chloride-resin(PVDC-resin)와 polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)의 두 폴리머 전구체는 열분해 과정을 통해 마이크로 다공성 탄소로 변환되어 되므로 이온 흡/탈착으로 전하를 저장하는 슈퍼커패시터용 전극재료로 유리하다. 더욱이, 두 전구체를 구성하는 여러가지 이종원소들은 탄화 후 작용기를 형성하여 추가적인 전하저장에 기여할 수 있으므로, 탄화 시 생성되는 작용기에 대한 분석은 에너지 저장용 탄소소재를 개발하는데 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 두 폴리머 전구체를 탄화시킨 후 생성된 작용기를 X-선 광전자 분광법(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)과 다양한 pH의 전해질에서 탄소 전극의 전기화학 거동 관찰을 통하여 확인하였다. 산성(1 M H₂SO₄) 전해질에서 측정된 두 탄소 전극의 비전기용량은 생성된 quinone 작용기의 패러데익 충/방전 반응 덕분에 중성 전해질(0.5 M Na₂SO₄)에서보다 증가하였다. 특히, PVDC-resin으로부터 합성된 탄소는 매우 작은 마이크로 기공이 표면에 형성되어 있어 전해질 이온의 흡착을 어렵게 하므로, PVDF로부터 합성된 탄소 전극에 비해 낮은 용량을 보인다. 염기성 전해질(6 M KOH)에서 두 탄소 전극 모두 3가지 전해질 중 가장 높은 비전기용량이 측정되었는데, 이는 구성하는 전해질 이온들(K⁺, OH^-)이 두 탄소에 형성된 마이크로 기공으로 흡/탈착이 용이하게 일어나는 동시에 패러데익 충/방전 반응으로 추가적인 전하가 저장되었기 때문이다.
