Microelectrode probe was made and applied to the biofilm in the biological treatment process as the state-of-art technology in order to actually measure the biofilm thickness, ionic concentration gradient, and material transport, etc. instead of classical theoretical approach. The working microelectrode, one of the main components of microelectrode probe, was easily contaminated and broken when determining the differences in the ionic concentrations through the measurement of biofilm's EMF (electromotive force). As a demonstration, two microelectrode probes were constructed in our lab for the measurement of the pH and $NO_3{^-}$ concentration in denitrifying biofilm. The microelectrode probe through the inner biofilm ($350{\mu}m$ from the surface of biofilm) showed that the pH was increased from pH 8 in the bulk solution to pH 8.3, on the other hand, the $NO_3{^-}$ concentration was decreased from 30 fig N/L in the bulk solution to 4 fig N/L.

For the development of semiconducting photoelectrode to be more stable and efficient in the process of photoelectrolysis of the water, pure titanium rods were oxidized by anodic oxidation, furance oxidation and flame oxidation and used as electrodes. The Indium islands were formed by electrodeposition of "In" thin film on $TiO_2$ and Ti by electrodeposition. Also $A1_2O_3$ and NiO islands were coated on Ti by the electron-beam evaporation technique. The maximum photoelectrochemical conversion efficiency(${\eta}$) was 0.98% for flame oxidized electrode($1200^{\circ}C$ for 2min in air). Anodically oxidized electrodes have photoelectrochemical conversion efficiency of 0.14%. Furnace oxidized electrode($800^{\circ}C$ for 10min in air) has 0.57% of photoelectrochemical efficiency and shows a band-gap energy of about 2.9eV. The $In_2O_3$ coated $TiO_2$ exhibits 0.8% of photoelectrochemical efficiency but much higher value of ${\eta}$ was obtained with the Increase of applied blas voltage. However, $Al_2O_3$ or NiO coated $TiO_2$ shows much low value of ${\eta}$. The efficiency was dependent on the presence of the metallic interstitial compound $TiO_{0+x}$(x<0.33) at the metal-semiconductor interface and the thickness of the suboxide layer and the external rutile scale.

탄소강 및 Nickel 음극에서 아연의 전착특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 황산아연 및 염화아연용액속에서 회전전극을 사용하여 실험한 결과 아연의 평형전위 이전에서 전착이 일어나는 소위 Underpotential Deposition 현상이 관찰되었다. 또한 이렇게 전착이 일어난 아연층은 평형상태에서 일정한 두께로 제한되는데 전착전압에 따른 전착층의 전하량을 계산한 결과 다층흡착구조과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다.

In this study, the bio-impedance of the human body is able to obtain a lot of information by monitoring the pathological and physiological conditions of clinical and biological tissues. The four electrode method system for biometrics measured the potential difference between two electrodes and the other two electrodes were used as electrodes for current flow. The newly developed dry gold electrode measured impedance from 1 Hz to 50 kHz and produced reproducible results. To verify the impedance measurement of the dry electrode, the pitting was performed using an equivalent circuit model of the bioelectrode skin, and the effectiveness was demonstrated through modeling. Fixed electrode types have a constant position of the electrodes attached during the measurement, so that a stable measurement can be obtained, thereby minimizing the error.

혈액 내의 요소 농도는 신장병 진단의 척도로서 정확한 측정이 필요하다. 요소의 농도는 전위차법을 이용하여 정확히 검출할 수 있으며 이를 위하여 효소를 고정화시킨 전극형 센서를 사용하였다. 전도성 고분자로서 P3MT(Poly(3-methylthiophene) )와 PPy(polypyrrole)를 효소 고정화에 이용하였다. PPy는 전기적 특성이 좋고 중합 및 효소의 고정화가 용이하며 중합 과정이 상대적으로 신속하고 비용도 저렴하다는 장점은 있으나. 다소 불안정하다. P3MT는 PPy와 마찬가지로 전극 상에 단량체가 전기적 산화에 의하여 중합되고 일반적으로 전해질 이온이 도우핑된 상태나 도우핑 되지 않은 상태 모두에서 산소. 습도. 온도에 대하여 매우 안정하다. 본 연구에서는 3-methylthiophene과 pyrrole을 전기 중합하여 urease를 고정화한 요소센서의 특성(감도, 안정성, 직선성)을 비교하였다. P3MT를 이용한 센서와 PPy를 이용한 센서 각각에 대해 감도는 P3MT가 32.3mV/decade, PPy가 4.7mV/decate로서 P3MT가 우수하였고 직선성도 보다 뛰어났으며 순환 전압 전류 곡선을 분석한 결과 P3MT가 PPy보다 안정성도 우수한 특성을 보였다.

The light emitting diode (LED) was fabricated from n-type porous silicon. We investigated both the current-voltage characteristics of the LED with various electrode materials and changes of electroluminescence with applied current density. Also we probed changes in electroluminescence as a function of operation time at a given current. In order to Improve the contact area between the electrode material and porous silicon layer, we deposited indium on porous silicon layer by electroplating and investigated the electric characteristics of the LED and changes of electroluminescence.

This study was performed for the purpose of estimating steel corrosion and of considering a countermeasure to prevent steel corrosion of concrete structures under the environment of seawater or using seasand. The corrosion of steel was accelerated in artificial seawater with seven kinds of specimen which was embedded steel in mortar. To assume the degree of steel corrosion, soluble chloride content in mortar, $Cl^-$ binding capacity, half cell potential and corrosion area ratio were measured. The results show that corrosion area ratio was correlative with half cell potential and soluble chloride content in mortar.
