Gas chromatograph equipped with ECD (Electron Ionization Detector) was used to investigate the adsorption characteristics of 1,2-dichlorobenzene, which has a similar structure with dioxin, on graphite. Equilibrium adsorption constants of 1,2-dichlorobenzene on graphite were measured as 10.333, 6.167 and $4.270m^3/kg$ at 220, 240, $260^{\circ}C$, respectively. The isosteric heat of adsorption of 1,2-dichlorobenzene on graphite was 11.554 kcal/mol. This was because specific surface area was low and the amount of surface functional groups was small.

Pure-carbon materials such as graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and diamond have very high thermal conductivities. The reported thermal conductivity of graphene is in the range 3000~5000W/m-K at room temperature. Here, we developed graphene/cu foam hybrid type heat spreader to obtain higher thermal conductivity than Cu foam. Hybrid materials were characterized using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal conductivity measurement system; LFA (Laser Flash Analysis @ LFA 447, NETZSCH). We suggest that excellent thermal properties of graphene/cu foam hybrid structures are beneficial for all proposed electrical applications and can lead to a thermal management application.

We present a microscopic understanding of the chemical erosion due to combustion product on the nozzle throat using molecular dynamics simulations. The present erosion process consists of molecule-addition step and equilibrium step. First, either $CO_2$ or $H_2O$ are introduced into the system with high velocity to provoke the collision with graphite surface. Then, the equilibrium simulation is followed. The collision-included dissociation and its influence on the erosion is emphasized and the present molecular observations are compared with the macroscopic chemical reaction model.

타이타늄은 밸브 메탈의 일종으로, 다양한 전해질 조건에서 양극산화되어 이산화 타이타늄($TiO_2$)을 형성한다. 이산화 타이타늄은 저렴한 가격, 풍부함, 무독성, 높은 안정성 등 다양한 장점을 지닌다. 또한 리튬 이온의 삽입/탈리 이후에도 구조적인 변화가 적은 성질과 비교적 높은 방전 전압(1.0-2.5 V vs Li/Li+)으로 인해 그래파이트를 대체할 리튬이온 전지의 전극재료로써 연구되어 왔다. 하지만 낮은 이온 및 전기 전도도로 인해 다양한 분야에서의 활용에 한계가 있어왔다. 이러한 한계 극복을 위해, 이산화 타이타늄에 전도성이 높은 탄소 계열의 물질을 코팅하는 방법이 고려되었다. 그래핀 산화물은 강한 산을 이용하여 그래파이트를 산화시킨 물질로, 많은 산소작용기를 함유하고 있어 탄소 고유의 전기전도성을 갖지 못한다. 환원 그래핀 산화물(reduced graphene oxide)는 빛, 열, 화학 작용울 통해 그래핀 옥사이드를 환원시켜 산소작용기를 없앤 물질로, 환원과정에서 전기전도성을 회복한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이산화 타이타늄에 환원 그래핀 산화물(reduced graphene oxide)를 코팅하여 전기 전도도를 향상시키고. 이에 대한 활용 분야를 연구하고자 하였다.

Nonthermal plasma hybridized with photocatalysts is proven to be an effective tool to degrade toxic organics in wastewater. In this study, a specially designed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma system combined with photocatalysts was applied to decompose pestiticides such as dichlorovos, carbofuran and methidathon, which are frequently used in the golf courses and the orange plantations. The degradations of the pesticides in single and coupled systems were evaluated. The single system was used with ozone plasma which consisted of electrons, radicals, ions produced by oxygen gas and air, with and without ultra-violet (UV) irradiation, respectively. The coupled systems utilized the air-derived ozone plasma combined with zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and graphite oxide photocatalyst activated by UV. The graphite oxide was synthesized by a modified Hummer's method and characterized using FTIR spectrometer. It was elucidated that the plasma reaction with graphite oxide (0.01 g/L) brought about almost 100% of degradation degrees for dichlorovos and carbofuran in 60 min, as compared with the performances showed by no catalyst condition. The photocatalyst-hybridized plasma in the presence of UV irradiation was proven to be an effective alternative for degrading pesticides.

Enzyme fuel cells were composed of enzyme anode and PEMFC cathode. Enzyme anodes was fabricated by compression of a mixture of graphite particle, glucose oxidase as a enzyme and ferrocene as a mediator, and then coated with Nafion ionomer. Open circuit voltage (OCV) were measured with variation of anode manufacture factors, to find optimum condition of enzyme anode. Optimum pressure was 9.0 MPar for enzyme anode pressing process. Highest OCV was obtained at 60% graphite composition in enzyme anode. Optimum glucose concentration was 1.7mol/l in anode substrate solution and enzyme activity of anode was stable for 7 days.

Exfoliated graphite oxide (EGO) was prepared by graphite oxide in an aqueous solution of TMAOH. The hybrid graphene/Zn-Al LDH material was fabricated by the hydrothermal reduction of the solution of EGO, $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, $Al(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$, urea, and trisodium citrate. That is, metal ions were absorbed on the surface of EGO, and Zn-Al LDH material was randomly dispersed on the surface of graphene along with a reduction process of EGO to graphene by hydrothermal treatment. The composition, morphology, and thermal property of the obtained graphene-based hybrid material were studied by FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, and DSC.

In this research, the change of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of graphite/epoxy composite laminate under space environment was measured using fiber optic sensors. Two fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have been adopted for the simultaneous measurement of thermal strain and temperature. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) conditions with high vacuum, ultraviolet and thermal cycling environments were simulated in a thermal vacuum chamber. As a pre-test, a FBG temperature sensor was calibrated and a FBG strain sensor was verified through the comparison with the electric strain gauge (ESG) attached on an aluminun specimen at high and low temperature respectively. The change of the CTE in a composite laminate exposed to space environment was measured for intervals of aging cycles in real time. As a whole, there was no abrupt change of the CTE after 1000 aging cycles. After aging, however, the CTE decreased a Little all over the test temperature range. These changes are caused by outgassing, moisture desorption, matrix cracking etc.
