Reduction of chromate ion at the Pt-electrode was investigated in neutral unbuffered solutions, in buffered solutions of pH between 8 and 10, and in strongly alkaline medium. In buffered solutions of pH between 8 and 10, the number of electrons transfered in the reduction of chromate ion increased progressively with increasing pH. When chromate ion was reduced in 0.2 N sodium hydroxide medium the following mechanism was suggested: $CrO_4^=+H_2O+2e{\rightarrow}CrO_3^=+2OH^-,\;CrO_3^=3H_2O+e{\rightarrow}Cr(OH)_3+3OH^-$ When tetramethylammonium hydroxide (pH=13.5) was used as the supporting electrolyte, a second wave indicated strong adsorption. In unbuffered solutions of 0.1 N potassium chloride the linear sweep voltammogram consists of three or four distinct waves depending on the initial voltage and the voltage sweep rates, but the first wave was difficult to explain as a diffusion controlled wave.

Al-Mg 합금은 비중이 적고 강도가 우수하기 때문에 해양 환경에서 구조용 재료로 많이 사용되고 있으며, 특히 선박용 재료로 사용될 경우 선체의 중량을 줄일 수 있어 연료비가 절감되며 선속의 고속화가 가능하다. 그러나 해양환경에서의 재료 특성에 관한 지식 및 관련 기술 부족으로 알루미늄 선박 건조는 활성화 되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 알루미늄 합금은 공기 중에서는 우수한 내식성을 지니는 것으로 알려져 있으나 해수환경에서는 염소이온에 의한 부동태 피막 파괴로 인해 내식성이 저하되며 공식 및 응력부식균열 등에 의한 손상이 발생할 수 있다. 특히 용접부의 경우, 모재에 비해 부식손상에 취약하며 기공과 같은 용접 결함을 포함하고 있어 구조물 파괴의 시발점이 될 수 있으므로 선박 및 구조물 건조시 대비가 필요하다. 그러나 이에 관한 충분한 연구가 이루어지지 않아 국내 중소형 조선소의 경우 알루미늄 선박 건조에 어려움을 겪는 경우가 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선박 건조 및 해양 구조물에 널리 사용되는 Al 5083-H321 합금 용접부에 대하여 해수 내 부식 특성을 연구하고자 한다. 부식특성 파악을 위한 전기화학적 실험에 앞서 화학적 에칭을 통해 미세부위별 실험을 수행하였다. 기준전극은 은/염화은 전극을 대극은 백금전극을 사용하였으며, 타펠 분석을 위한 분극실험은 OCP를 기준으로 -0.25 ~ +0.25 V까지 실시하였고 양극분극실험은 OCP ~ +3.0 V까지 실시하였다. 양극분극 실험 후 부식된 표면은 주사전자현미경과 3D 분석을 통해 용접부 조직에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 관찰하였다.

The composite of ionic polymer and metal has been fabricated and used for actuators. Platinum is deposited by electroless plating method onto the both sides of ionic polymer where ac voltage is applied. This results in the bending motion of a beam type actuator. In this paper, the fabrication method of ionic polymer-metal composite has been explained and the moving mechanism has been fabricated and measured using the ionic polymer-metal composite actuator. The moving mechanism is wireless type and the power is supplied through the rail electrodes in base plate. The maximum speed of the moving mechanism was about 24cm/min.

ZnO의 나노 구조는 화학적으로 안정하고 큰 결합에너지를 가지는 성질 때문에 청색 영역에서 작동하는 광전소자의 제작에 대단히 유용하다. ZnO 나노 구조들은 화학 기상 성장법, 기상 에피텍시 성장법, 화학적 용액 성장법과 같은 여러 가지 방법으로 성장하고 있다. 여러 가지 성장방법 중에서도 전기 화학 증착법으로 성장된 ZnO의 나노 구조는 가격이 저렴하고 낮은 온도에서 성장이 가능하며 대면적화를 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 전기 화학 증착법으로 ZnO을 성장할 때 3개의 전극을 사용하여 성장하였다. ITO 기판을 음극으로 백금 전극을 양극으로 사용하였고 기준 전극은 Ag/AgCl을 사용하였다. Zinc Nitrate의 몰 농도를 변화하면서 ZnO 나노구조를 성장 하였다. 성장한 ZnO 나노구조를 $400^{\circ}C$에서 2 분정도 열처리를 하였다. 성장된 ZnO을 X-선회절장치를 분석하게 되면 (0002) 피크가 $34.35^{\circ}$에서 주되게 나타났다. 주사 전자 현미경상은 Zinc Nitrate의 몰 농도가 낮을 때 성장한 ZnO 는 나노세선 형태로 형성되었음을 보여주었다. Zinc Nitrate의 농도가 높아지게 되면 ZnO 나노구조가 나노 막대 또는 나노 접시 모양으로 변화되었다. 300 K에서 광루미네선스 스펙트럼은 형성된 나노구조가 엑시톤과 관련된 주된 피크가 Zinc Nitrate 농도에 따라 변화하게 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 실험결과는 ZnO 나노구조의 미세구조와 광학적 성질이 Zinc Nitrate의 농도에 영향을 많이 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The effect of electrochemical characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) upon employing multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) on both working electrode and counter electrode were examined with using EIS, J-V curves and UV-Vis absorption spectrometry. When 0.1 wt% of MWCNT was employed in the $TiO_2$-MWCNT composit on working electrode, the energy conversion efficiency increased about 12.5% compared to the $TiO_2$ only working electrode. The higher light conversion efficiency may attribut to the high electrical conductivity of MWCNT in $TiO_2$-MWCNT composite which improves the electron transport in the working electrode. However, higher amount of MWCNT than 0.1 wt% in the $TiO_2$-MWCNT composite decreases the light conversion efficiency, which is mainly ascribed to the decreased transmittance of light by MWCNT and to the decreased adsorption of dye onto $TiO_2$. The MWCNT employed counter electrode exhibited much lower light conversion efficiency of DSSC than the Pt-counter electrode, while the MWCNT-Pt counter electrode showed similar in light conversion efficiency to that of Pt-counter electrode.

Purpose: Candida albicans can cause mucosal disease in many vulnerable patients. Also they are associated with denture-related stomatitis. Electrolyzed water is generated by electric current passed via water using various metal electrodes and has antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to investigate antifungal activity of electrolyzed water on C. albicans biofilm. Materials and Methods: C. albicans was cultured by sabouraud dextrose broth and F-12 nutrient medium in aerobic and 5% $CO_2$ condition to form blastoconidia (yeast) and hyphae type, respectively. For formation of C. albicans biofilm, C. albicans was cultivated on rough surface 6-well plate by using F-12 nutrient medium in $CO_2$ incubator for 48 hr. After electrolyzing tap water using various metal electrodes, the blastoconidia and hyphal type of C. albicans were treated with electrolyzed water. C. albicans formed blastoconidia and hyphae type when they were cultured by sabouraud dextrose broth and F-12 nutrient medium, respectively. Results: The electrolyzed water using palladium electrode (EWP) exhibited antifungal effect on blastoconidia of C. albicans. Also, the EWP significantly has antifungal activity against C. albicans biofilm and hyphae. In the electrolyzed water using various metal electrodes, only the EWP have antifungal activity. Conclusion: The EWP may use a gargle solution and a soaking solution for prevention of oral candidiasis and denture-related stomatitis due to antifungal activity.

The electrochemical behaviors of dissolved hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide at a platinum disk electrode were investigated in boric acid solution by potentiostatic polarization method at the temperature of 25 and $200^{\circ}C$. The oxidation of dissolved hydrogen at $25^{\circ}C$ was kinetically controlled reaction, the rate of which depends upon the electron transfer on the electrode surface. As temperature was raised, however, the electrochemical characteristics of dissolved hydrogen were changed from a kinetically controlled reaction to a diffusion controlled one. One notable feature, with dissolved hydrogen at high temperature, is that an abnormal potential range was observed, where the oxidation rate of dissolved hydrogen rapidly decreased just before starting potential of water oxidation. We think it is caused by the deactivation of the electrode that results from the adsorption of hydroxyl ion on the surface of the platinum disk. On the contrary, a definite change with temperature was not identified in the case of the hydrogen peroxide except for the increase in current density that was due to the increasing diffusion coefcient with an increase of temperature.

In this study, the current-voltage curves for stainless steel in the triethanolamine(TEA) solution was measured using the conventional three electrodes of cyclic voltammetry. Stainless steel as working electrode, Ag/AgCl electrode as reference electrode and Pt wire as counter electrode were used respectively. As a result, the C-V characteristics of stainless steel were to be for an irreversible process due to the oxidation current from cyclic voltammogram, using triethanolamine solutions. Effective diffusivity of corrosion inhibitors was decreased with increasing concentration. And the concentration of 0.5 N $NaClO_4$, $2.5{\times}10^{-3}M$ TEA solution when the corrosion inhibition effect is most great, and 1.5 N $NaClO_4$, $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ TEA solution, the lowest corrosion inhibition effect.
