Graphene nanosheets (GNS), nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets (N-GNS), and sulfur-doped graphene nanosheets (S-GNS) were successfully synthesized, and their catalytic effects on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in $Li-O_2$ batteries were compared. The S-GNS electrode exhibited the highest ORR catalytic activity, resulting in enhanced discharge capacity and power capability. We attributed the enhanced ORR catalytic activity to the increased defect sites on graphene.

In this study, an integrated microelectrode array was fabricated on glass slide using microfabrication technology. Probe DNAs consisting of mercaptohexyl moiety at their 5-end were spotted on the gold electrode using micropipette or DNA arrayer utilizing the affinity between gold and sulfur. Cyclic voltammetry in 5mM ferricyanide/ferrocyanide solution at 100 ㎷/s confirmed the immobilization of probe DNA on the gold electrodes. When several DNAs were detected electrochemically, there was a difference between target DNA and control DNA in the anodic peak current values. It was derived from specific binding of Hoechst 33258 to the double stranded DNA due to hybridization of target DNA. It suggested that this DNA chip could recognize the sequence specific genes. It suggested that multichannel electrochemical DNA microarray is useful to develop a portable device for clinical gene diagnostic System.

Recently, with the trend of information technology convergence and electrification, batteries are being widely used in fields such as industry, transportation, and specific applications. By 2030, the secondary battery market is expected to grow explosively by more than eight times compared with 2020 to $351.7 billion owing to the expanding adoption of electric vehicles. Depending on the electrochemical reactions in the electrode, a primary battery can only discharge through an irreversible reaction, while a secondary battery can be repeatedly charged and discharged using reversible reactions. According to the type of charge carrier ions, secondary batteries may be classified into those made of lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and aluminum ions. We analyze the current status and technological issues of lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and solid-state batteries, which are representative examples of lithium secondary batteries. In addition, research trends in lithium secondary batteries are discussed.

N-Oxyldiethylenebenzothiazole-2-sulfenamide (ODBS;가황산촉진제)의 전기화학적 환원을 직류와 시차펄스 폴라로그래피 순환 전압전류법, 조절전위 전기량법으로 연구하였다. ODBS의 전극환원과정은 단일 환원파(-1.86 volts vs. Ag/0.1 M AgN$O_3$in AN)에서 비가역으로 3전자가 이동하는 E-C-E-C 반응 메카니즘으로 진행되었다. 조절전위 전기분해 결과 SULFENAMIDE(-S-N=) 결합이 끊어지고 mercaptobenzothiazole(MBT)과 benzothiazole disulfide(MBT dimer) 그리고 유리된 sulfur 등이 생성물로 얻어졌따. pH 변화에 따른 폴라로그램의 해석과 생성물 분석의 결과를 바탕으로하여 전기화학적 반응 메카니즘을 제안하였다.

An electrolytic oxidation process was applied to remove odorous compounds from non-point odor sources including wastewater pipelines and manholes. In this study, a distance between the anode and the cathode of the electrolytic process was varied as a system operating parameters, and its effects on odor removal efficiencies and reaction characteristics were investigated. Odor precursors such as sediment organic matters and reduced sulfur/nitrogen compounds were effectively oxidized in the electrolytic process, and a change in oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) indicated that an stringent anaerobic condition shifted to a mild anoxic condition rapidly. At an electrode distance of 1 cm and an applied voltage of 30 V, a system current was maintained at 1 A, and the current density was 23.1 $mA/cm^{2}$. Under the condition, the removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide in gas phase was found to be 100%, and 93% of ammonium ion was removed from the liquid phase during the 120 minute operating period. Moreover, the sulfate ion (${SO_4}^{2-}$) concentration increased about three times from its initial value due to the active oxidation. As the specific power consumption (i.e., the energy input normalized by the effective volume) increased, the oxidation progressed rapidly, however, the oxidation rate was varied depending on target compounds. Consequently, a threshold power consumption for each odorous compound needs to be experimentally determined for an effective application of the electrolytic oxidation.

전해 산성이온수는 알칼리성 이온수에 비해 응용분야가 음용을 목적으로 하는 알칼리이온수와 많이 다르게 이용되고 있으며 ph 농도에 따라 강산성인 경우 잔류염소에 의한 살균 목적의 소독제로 사용되고, 중산성인 경우 세척과 세안으로 사용하고, 약산성인 경우 식재료와 혼합하여 요리에 널리 사용할 수 있다. 이런 산성이온수를 생성하기 위해서는 물을 전기분해 하여 사용하는데 전기분해 하는 과정에서 염소가스와 수산화나트륨 등의 물질로 살균력을 가지며, 전기분해시 +전극 쪽으로 -이온을 띤 염소, 인, 유황 등의 유기물이 모여져 산성이온수를 만든다. 또한 산성수와 알칼리수를 분리하기 위해서 격막을 사용했다. ph 농도변화의 구현방법은 Microprocessor를 이용하여 강산성에서 약산성 사이의 ph 농도를 PWM(pulse width modulation) 제어로 3종류의 PWM 전압을 전해조 전극에 인가하여 PWM제어에 의한 연속적으로 농도가 조절된 산성수가 생성되게 구현하였다.

사람의 체질이 산성화로 변화되는 것을 막고 생체 밸런스를 유지하기위해 알칼리수를 인간의 인체에 공급할 필요가 있다. 알칼리수는 인체에 유익한 칼슘(Ca/sup +/), 칼륨(K/sup +/), 마그네슘(Mg/sup +/), 나트륨(Na/sup +/)등을 포함한 물로 되어있다. 이러한 알칼리수를 생성하기 위해서는 물을 전기분해하여 격막(격리된 특수막)을 통해 - 전극 쪽으로 미네랄들을 모아 생성한다. 물론 반대로 + 전극쪽으로는 염소(Cl), 인(P), 유황(S) 등의 - 이온을 띈 유기물들이 모여 산성수도 발생되어 다른 용도의 물로 사용할 수 있다. 이 전기분해 과정에서 - 극판과 + 극판에 PWM(pulse width modulation)전압을 Microprocessor를 이용하여 4종류의 PWM 전압을 구현하고, 전압별 ph농도 변화를 고찰해 보았다. 이와 같이 PWM제어를 이용하면 필요한 ph농도 값의 알칼리 이온수를 설정 값으로 하면 정확하게 얻을 것으로 예상된다.

In this paper, we investigated the post-combustion removal of nitrogen oxide($NO_x$) and sulfur oxide($SO_x$) which is based on the gas to particle conversion process by the pulsed corona discharge. Under normal pressure, the pulsed corona discharge produces the energetic free electrons which dissociate gas molecules to form the active radicals. These radicals cause the chemical reactions that convert $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ into acid mists and these mists react with $NH_3$ to form solid particles. Those particles can be removed from the gas stream by conventional devices such as electrostatic precipitator or bag filter. The reactor geometry was coaxial with an inner wire discharge electrode and an outer ground electrode wrapped on a glass tube. The simulated flue gas with $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ was used in the experiment. The corona discharge reactor was more efficient in removing $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ by adding $NH_3$ and $H_2O$ in the gas stream. We also measured the removal efficiency of $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ in a cylinder type corona discharge reactor and obtained more than 90 % of removal efficiency in these experimental conditions. The effects of process variables such as the inlet concentrations of $SO_x$, $NH_3$ and $H_2O$, residence time, pulse frequencies and applied voltages were investigated.

In this study, the effects of Mn-doping and the electrode materials on the memory characteristics of $ZnO_xS_{1-x}$ resistive random access memory (ReRAM) devices on plastic are investigated. Compared with the undoped Al/$ZnO_xS_{1-x}$/Au and Al/$ZnO_xS_{1-x}$/Cu devices, the Mn-doped ones show a relatively higher ratio of the high resistance state (HRS) to low resistance state (LRS), and narrower resistance distributions in both states. For the $ZnO_xS_{1-x}$ devices with bottom electrodes of Cu, more stable conducting filament paths are formed near these electrodes, due to the relatively higher affinity of copper to sulfur, compared with the devices with bottom electrodes of Au, so that the distributions of the set and reset voltages get narrower. For the Al/$ZnO_xS_{1-x}$/Cu device, the ratio of the HRS to LRS is above $10^6$, and the memory characteristics are maintained for $10^4$ sec, which values are comparable to those of ReRAM devices on Si or glass substrates.
