본 연구는 아연/공기전지 설계기술 개발을 위한 기초 연구로서 전산해석을 이용하여 전해질 유동에 따른 아연/공기전지의 성능 예측에 관한 것이다. 전산해석모델은 전기화학 방정식과 유체유동 방정식으로 구성하였으며, 화학종 반응에 관한 지배방정식으로는 Nernst-Planck식을 이용하였고 전극표면의 전기화학반응은 Butler-Volmer식을 이용하였다. 또한 유체유동 방정식은 Navier-Stoke식을 적용하여 전해질 유동에 따른 전기화학적 성능 변화를 모사하였다. 아연/공기전지 성능 평가 실험으로부터 얻은 I-V 곡선과 전산해석결과와의 비교/분석을 통하여 전기화학모델의 타당성을 검증하였으며, 유체 유동 방정식과의 연동해석을 적용하여 전해질 유입 위치 및 유입 속도에 따른 아연/공기전지의 성능 변화를 조사하였다. 아연/공기전지의 성능은 전해질 유입 위치가 아연극에 가까울수록, 유입 속도가 빠를수록 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was performed to investigate the separation of cesium cations by using an electrochemical ion exchanger of nickel hexacyanoferrate($KNiFe(CN)_6$) film electrode. Potential, current, and charge passing through the cyclic voltammograms were measured in singular and binary solutions of 1.0M $NaNO_3$ and 1.0M $CsNO_3$. Before and after each experiment, the structural morphology and atomic composition of $KNiFe(CN)_6$ were analyzed by SEM and EDS, respectively. The ion selectivity of $KNiFe(CN)_6$ was also observed by the voltammograms and atomic compositions measured in the solution alternated between sodium and cesium. As the result of this study, it was found that the electrically switched $KNiFe(CN)_6$ ion exchanger had the significant advantage of 40 times or longer durability than conventional organic or inorganic ion exchanger. It was also shown that the $KNiFe(CN)_6$ ion exchanger had high selectivity for cesium over sodium.

청정에너지 개발은 화석연료를 대체하기 위하여 꾸준한 관심을 받고 있다. 많은 대체에너지중 수소는 그 반응물이 순수한 물로써 환경오염이 없다. 기존의 수소를 얻어내는 방법은 메탄을 고온 고압에서 수증기와 반응시켜 얻는데 이 때 이산화탄소가 생성이 된다. 전기화학적 물분해 방법은 물을 수소와 산소로 선택적으로 분해시킬 수 있는 방법이다. $TiO_2$는 전기적으로 합성할 때 표면의 구조제어가 쉽고 열역학적, 화학적 안정성이 높아 자체의 높은 밴드갭(3.0~3.2 eV)에도 불구하고 산업적으로 염소분해 전극으로써 사용되고 있으며 최근에는 물분해 전극으로도 적용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 전기화학적 물분해 반응을 위해서는 높은 과전압이 요구되므로 산업적으로 이용하기 위해 전도성을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 낮은 전압에서도 물을 분해할 수 있는 촉매제의 도핑이 연구되고 있으나 대부분 촉매로 사용되는 금속은 루테늄과 이리듐 등의 귀금속이다. 본 연구에서는 저가촉매로써 몰리브덴을 도핑한 후 농도별 성능을 비교하였다. 전극의 성능비교를 위해 각 촉매의 농도별로 다른 전해질 농도조건에서 성능비교실험을 진행하였다.

신소재용 전기 절연재료로 각광받고 있는 에폭시 수지는 경화과정에서 현저한 화학적 반응을 동반하며 경화제와 경화조건에 따라 다양한 물리적, 화학적 성질을 나타내므로 전기적 특성과 경화형태와의 관련성에 대한 연구는 에폭시 수지의 절연특성을 향상시키는 중요한 자료가 된다. 실험결과, 경화는 에폭시의 에폭시환과 경화제의 활성기 사이의 화학반응으로 일어나며 전기 절연특성을 경화할 때 얻어지는 가교에 의하여 영향을 받음을 확인하였고 경화형태는 적외선 파수 915[$cm^{-1}$ /]의 에폭시환이 감소하고 1,453[$cm^{-1}$ ] 파수의 변성메틸이 생성되지 않는 가교를 할 때 우수한 졀연특성이 얻어졌다.

수치해석을 이용하여 형상 및 운전 조건에 따른 금속공기전지의 전기화학적 성능 변화를 조사하였다. 저전류밀도 영역에서의 전지 성능은 농도손실에 의한 영향이 미미하므로 활성화 손실과 저항손실만을 고려한 수치해서 모델을 적용하였다. 지배방정식은 전기전도식을 이용하였으며 전극 표면의 활성화손실을 모사하기위해 아연극(음극)에는 butler-volmer식을, 공기극(양극)에는 tafel식을 적용하였다. 실험결과와의 비교/분석을 통하여 수치해석 모델의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한, 아연극과 공기극 사이의 간격과 전해질 농도 변화에 따른 아연공기전지 내부에서의 전류밀도분포를 조사하였으며, 분극곡선을 통해 전기화학적 성능을 평가하였다.

The polyaniline films of emeraldine base (EB) and leucoemeraldine base (LEB) form doped with cam-phorsulfonic acid (CSA) were prepared by casting the mixed solution of chloroform and m-cresol on ITO (indium tin oxide) electrode. By analyzing UV-vis spectra of the mixed solutions, the effects of the secondary doping by m-cresol were obtained. And the conductivity of polyaniline film was increased with increasing m-cresol content. As the results of analyzing cyclic voltammograms, it was known that the redox peak currents of polyaniline electrode prepared from LEB were larger and more reversible than those of polyaniline eleclrodes prepared from EB. The charge transfer resistances $(R_{ct})$ of polyaniline electrodes were reduced with increasing m-cresol content, showing smaller Rct for LEB/CSA than EB/CSA.

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide has been widely studied by many scientists and researchers. Recently, the production of formic acid, which is expensive but highly useful liquid material, is receiving a great attention. However, difficulties in the electrochemical reduction process and analyzing methods impede the researches. Therefore, it is important to design an adequate system, develop the reduction process and establish the analyzing methods for carbon dioxide reduction to formic acid. In this study, the production of formic acid through electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide was performed and concentration of the product has been analyzed. Large scale batch cell with proton exchange membrane was used in the experiment. The electrochemical experiment has been performed using a series of metal catalysts. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and chronoamperometry were performed for carbon dioxide reduction and electrochemical analysis using silver chloride and platinum electrode as a reference electrode and counter electrode, respectively. The concentration of formic acid generated from the reduction was monitored using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results validate the appropriateness and effectiveness of the designed system and analyzing tool.

In this study, Inconel 625 was used as a thermal spray material to prevent dew point corrosion damage to the economizer tube, and sealing treatment was performed after applying the arc thermal spray coating technology. Various electrochemical experiments were conducted in the 0.5 wt% sulfuric acid solution to analyze the corrosion resistance of the thermal spray coating (TSC) layer. After the anodic polarization experiment, the degree of corrosion damage was determined through a scanning electron microscope and EDS component analysis. When measuring the open circuit potential, the effect of the sealing treatment was confirmed through stable potential formation of the TSC+sealing treatment (TSC+Sealing). As a result of the anodic polarization experiment, the passivation region was confirmed in TSC and TSC+Sealing, and corrosion resistance was improved as no corrosion damage was observed. In addition, the corrosion resistance of TSC+Sealing was the best when analyzing the corrosion potential and corrosion current density calculated by Tafel analysis.

This study proposed a new electrolytic reduction technology that is based on the integration of simultaneous uranium oxide metallization and Li$_2$O electrowinning. In this electrolytic reduction reaction, electrolytically reduced Li deposits on cathode and simultaneously reacts with uranium oxides to produce uranium metal showing more than 99% conversion. For the verification of process feasibility, the experiments to obtain basic data on the metallization of uranium oxide, investigation of reaction mechanism, the characteristics of closed recycle of Li$_2$O and mass transfer were carried out. This evolutionary electrolytic reduction technology would give benefits over the conventional Li-reduction process improving economic viability such as: avoidance of handling of chemically active Li-LiCl molten salt increase of metallization yield, and simplification of process.
