Carbon felts were prepared under various thermal conditions to improve the electrochemical properties of vanadium redox flow batteries. The number of C-O and/or C-OH functional groups on the surface of the electrodes treated under airless conditions was much larger than that of the untreated and partially oxygen-treated electrodes. The carbon felt treated under airless conditions had the lowest surface area. The overall kinetic properties of the redox reaction were greatly improved for the carbon felt treated under airless conditions; i.e., the reversibility of the anodic and cathodic reactions associated with the $VO_2{^+}/VO^{2+}$ couple became more reversible. Single-cell tests indicated that the carbon felt exhibited an excellent discharge capacity of $3.1Ah{\cdot}g^{-1}$ at $40mA{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, and the corresponding Coulombic, voltage, and energy efficiencies were 89.5%, 91.8%, and 82.2%, respectively.

Kinetic studies on cupric ion ($Cu^{2+}$) oxidation of 1-benzyl- and 1-aryl-1,4-dihydronicotinamides (XNAH) in aqueous solution were performed. In the presence of dioxygen ($O_2$), the reaction followed first order kinetics with respect to both XNAH and $Cu^{2+}$. The oxidation reaction was found to be independent and parallel to the acid-catalyzed hydration reaction of XNAH. The catalytic role of $Cu^{2+}$ for the oxidation of XNAH in the presence of $O_2$ was attributed to $Cu^{2+}/Cu^+$ redox cycle by the reactions with XNAH and $O_2$. The second order rate constants of the Cu2+ oxidation reaction kCu, and acid-catalyzed hydration reaction $k_H$ were strongly dependent on the nature of the substituents in 1-aryl moiety. The slopes of log $k_{Cu}$ vs log $K_H$ and log $k_{Cu}$ vs ${\sigma}_p$ of the substituents plots were 1.64 and -2.2, respectively. This revealed the greater sensitivity of the oxidation reaction rate to the electron density on the ring nitrogen than the hydration reaction rate. A concerted two-electron transfer route involving XNAH-$Cu^{2+}$ complex was proposed for mechanism of the oxidation reaction.

나노입자는 많은 화학합성에서 중요한 촉매역할을 한다. 촉매로 이용되는 나노입자를 합성할 때 colloidal synthesis를 많이 활용하고 있다. Colloidal synthesis를 이용해 나노입자를 합성할 경우 환원제, capping agent, shape directing agent 등이 촉매에 surface poisoning을 일으켜 촉매의 특성이 낮아질 수 있으며 합성 및 분리 과정 중 유해폐기물의 발생한다. Colloidal synthesis에서 사용되는 첨가제들의 양을 줄여 합성할 수 있는 새로운 나노입자를 합성법을 개발하여 은나노입자를 합성하였다. 결정화 기술을 이용하여 환원제, capping agent의 양을 줄일 수 있고 더욱이 합성된 나노입자 표면의 흡착되는 물질의 양을 줄여 surface poisoning을 낮출 수 있었다. 환원제로는 단당류와 이당류를 이용하여 surface poisoning이 거의 없는 은 나노입자는 resazurin의 산화환원 반응의 촉매로 이용할 수 있어 은 나노입자를 이용한 촉매 반응의 메커니즘을 분석하였다.

Mackinawite (FeS), as a ubiquitous reduced iron mineral, is known as a key controller of redox reactions in anaerobic subsurface environment. The reaction of FeS with redox-sensitive toxic element such as arsenic is substantially affected by pH conditions of the given environments. In this study, the interaction of As(V) with FeS was studied under strict anaerobic conditions with various pH conditions. The pH-dependent arsenic removal tests were conducted under wide ranges of pH conditions and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was applied to investigate the reaction mechanisms under pH 5, 7, and 9. The removal efficiency of FeS for As(V) showed the higher removal of As(V) under low pH conditions and its removal efficiency decreased with increasing pH, and no As(V) reduction was observed in 1 g/L FeS solution. However, XAS analysis indicated the reduction of As(V) to As(III) occurred during reaction between FeS and As(V). The reduced form of As(III) was particularly identified as an arsenic sulfide mineral (As₂S₃) in all pH conditions (pH 5, 7, and 9). As₂S₃ precipitation was more pronounced in pH 5 where the solubility of FeS is higher than in other pH conditions. The linear combination fitting results of XAS demonstrated that As(V) removal mechanism is concerted processes of As₂S₃ precipitation and surface complexation of both arsenic species.

본 연구에서는 유기환원제로 포름산과 촉매로 PtD/C를 사용하여 불순물이 없는 고품질 V^3.5+ 전해질을 생산하였고 이를 VRFB에 적용하였다. PtD/C 촉매의 잘 배향된 3D 수상 돌기 구조는 포름산 산화 반응과 바나듐 환원 반응에 높은 활성을 보여 주었다. 그 결과 PtD/C의 촉매 전환율은 2.73 mol g^-1 h^-1로 polyol방법을 제조된 Pt/C의 전환율 1.67 mol g^-1 h^-1보다 더 높았다. 또한 VRFB 충방전 실험에서 촉매 반응으로 생성된 V^3.5+ 전해질은 전해 방법으로 제조 된 표준V^3.5+전해질과 동일한 성능을 보여 줌으로서 VRFB의 전해질로 사용 가능함을 증명하였다.

The thermal behavior of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ prepared by a co-precipitation wasinvestigated for Hz generation by the thermochemical cycle. The reduction reaction of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ started from $480^{\circ}C$, and the weight loss was 1.6 wt% up to $1100^{\circ}C$. At this reaction, $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ was reduced by release of oxygen bonded with the $Fe^{3+}$ ion in the B site of ($CO_{0.5}$ $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$. In the $H_2O$ decomposition reaction, $H_2$ was generated by oxidationof reduced $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$. The crystal structure of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ for reduction reaction maintained spinel structure and the lattice constant of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ ($8.41\AA$) was enlarged to $8.45\AA$. But the lattice constant of $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ after $H_2O$ decomposition reaction did not change to $8.45\AA$. Then, $(Co_{0.5}\;Mn_{0.5})Fe_2O_4$ is excellent material in the thermochemical cyclic reaction due to release oxygen at low temperature for the reduction reaction and produce $H_2$ maintaining crystal structure for redox reaction.

The synthesis of hollow ${Sb_93}{Pt_7}$ nanospheres smaller than 30 nm with a shell consisting of smaller nanoparticles, with an average particle size of ${\sim}$ 3 nm is reported. The formation of this alloy is driven by galvanic replacement reaction involving Sb nanoparticles and ${H_2}{PtCl_6} $ without need for any additional reductants. Further, the reaction proceeds selectively as long as the redox potential between two metals is favorable. The capacities of the hollow samples are 669 and 587mAh/g at rates of 1 and 7C, respectively, while those values for the nanoparticles are 647 and 480mAh/g at rates of 1, 7C, respectively. This result shows the significantly improved capacity retention of the hollow sample at higher C rates, indicating that high surface area of the hollow nanospheres makes the current density more effective than that for the solid counterpart.

A series of mono- and 1,1'-bis(heteroaryl)-substituted ferrocenes were prepared by employing Frielander reaction of acetyl- and 1,1'-diacetylferrocene with a series of o-aminoaldehydes. Reactions of 1,1'-diacetylferrocene with two equivalents of 1-aminonaphthalene-2-carbaldehyde and 8-aminoquinoline-7-carbaldehyde afforded a mixture of mono- and 1,1'-bis(heteroaryl)-substituted ferrocenes in a ratio of 1 : 3.1 - 3.8, while the reaction with 4-aminoacridine-3-carbaldehyde did not provide any characterizable product presumably due to the redox instability of the product induced by low reduction potential of benzo[b]-1,10-phenanthroline. Structural and optical properties of the compounds prepared were described.

고상법에 의해 제조된 NiFe$_2$O$_4$의 열적거동은 열화학 사이클에 의해 H$_2$제조를 위해서 연구되었다. NiFe$_2$O$_4$의 환원반응은 800 $^{\circ}C$부터 시작하였고 무게감소는 1000 $^{\circ}C$까지 0.2-0.3 wt% 감소하였다. 이 반응에서 NiFe$_2$O$_4$의 B위치의 Fe$^3$이온과 결합된 산소의 방출에 의해 NiFe$_2$O$_4$는 환원되어진다. 환원산화 반응을 위해 NiFe$_2$O$_4$의 구조는 스피넬 구조를 갖는다. 여기서 $H_2O$ 분해반응은 환원된 NiFe$_2$O$_4$의 산화반응에 의해 H$_2$가 제조된다. 그러므로 NiFe$_2$O$_4$는 환원반응시 비교적 낮은 온도에서 산소를 방출하고, 환원산화 반응 중 결정구조의 변화 없이 매우 안정하게 H$_2$를 생산할 수 있기 때문에 열화학 사이클반응에서 우수한 재료로 평가된다.
