레독스 흐름 배터리 (Redox Flow Battery)는 외부의 탱크 등에 저장해 둔 활성물질(이온 가수가 변화는 금속) 의 용액을 펌프로 전해셀에 공급하여 충전 방전하는 배터리로 신재생 에너지인 풍력과 태양광 발전, 야간의 잉여 전력 저장 등 대용량 전력 저장 장치로 관심이 높아지고 있다. 대표적인 레독스 흐름 배터리로 알려진 바나듐 레독스 흐름 배터리는 이온 교환막 사용으로 인하여 전기전도도, 기계적 강도, 투과도 및 전해질 내의 화학적 안정성 등 여러 가지 문제점과 함께 비용 문제점을 야기한다. 하지만 새로운 용해 납 레독스 흐름 배터리는 이온 교환막을 사용하지 않아 바나듐 레독스 흐름 배터리의 문제점 및 시설비가 절약되는 장점이 있어 새로이 연구되지고 있다. 본 연구는 레독스 흐름 배터리에 주로 이용되는 카본 전극재료의 따라 형성되는 Pb, $PbO_2$ 박막의 미세 구조를 및 에너지 효율 특성을 분석하였다. 실험은 half-cell로 이루어졌으며 작업전극은 Carbon felt, Ordered Graphite, Disordered Graphite, Glassy Carbon 등을 여러 카본 재료를 사용하였고, 상대전극은 Pt, 기준전극으로 Ag/AgCl를 사용하여 Cyclic Voltammetry특성과 충방전 특성을 연구하였다. 전해질은 Lead Carbonate ($PbCO_3$)+Methanesulfonic acid ($CH_3SO_3H$) 들어간 수용성 전해질을 교반을 통해 이용하였다. 여러 carbon 전극재료와 생성된 Pb, $PbO_2$ 막의 표면구조, 미세구조, 상들의 변화는 XRD, SEM, EDX, Raman등을 통하여 분석하였으며, 전기화학 공정의 변수와 전극에 따른 에너지 효율특성에 대하여 고찰해 보았다.

The anodic oxidations of the Silver(I) / Silver(II) / Silver(III) system have been studied in aq. 2M $AgNO_3$ solution with Platinum and Carbon electrodes. It has been found that $Ag_7O_8NO_3$ can be produced at relatively higher current density. Deposited black Oxy-salt were analyzed with several methods such as oxidizing power, X-ray powder diffraction patterns, thermal analysis, and reduction curves. It decomposed to AgO upon being suspended in boiling water. AgO compound obtained from $Ag_7O_8NO_3$ were purer and denser than Alfa-product AgO.

Recently, a study on the mirror-like surface grinding of brittle materials is active and as branch of these study, new dressing method for superabrasive wheel, electrolytic inprocess dressing(Elid) was developed. Using Elid, the mirror-like surface of brittle material can be generated without polishing or lapping process. In the future, Elid grinding will take important place in industry. But so far the analysis on Elid grinding was not quantitative but qualitative. In this study, The purpose is the quantitative analysis on Elid grinding by computer simulation, For computer simulation, the mean and the variance of the abrasive distribution were measured by tracing of the grinding wheel with stylus in transverse direction in the case of respective dressing current condition. This measurement result in a density distribution of abrasive by mathematical formulation using statistical method. The prediction of the surface roughness in Elid grinding was based on this density distribution.

본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금의 PEO(Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) 피막 형성 거동을 PEO 처리 용액 조성, 온도 및 합금 성분에 따른 전압-시간 곡선을 관찰하여 분석하였다. 알루미늄 합금의 PEO 피막 형성거동은 NaOH 농도, 전해질 온도, 인가 전류밀도 및 합금성분에 따라 다양하게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 직류 정전류법을 이용하여 Al1050, Al5052, Al6061 합금 표면에 PEO 피막을 형성시켰으며, PEO 피막의 형성이 시작되는 전압 및 발생된 아크의 크기 및 모양을 관찰하여 PEO 피막 형성 거동을 연구하였다. 연구결과 PEO 처리 중의 전해액의 온도가 낮고 전류밀도가 높을수록 시편 표면에서 짧은 시간 내에 아크가 발생하였으며, 전압-시간 곡선은 빠른 속도로 PEO 피막생성 전압에 도달하여 유지되는 거동을 보였다. 동일한 용액조성, 용액온도, 용액 교반속도 및 인가전류밀도에서 관찰된 PEO 피막 형성 거동은 동일시편을 PEO코팅 후 에칭하여 반복 실험할 경우에도 큰 편차를 보였으며, 이로부터 시편의 조성이나 불순물의 존재 등이 크게 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A high-throughput electrorefiner has been developed for commercialization use by enhancing the uranium recovery from the reduced metal which is produced from the oxide reduction process. It is necessary to scrap and effectively collect uranium dendrites from the surface of the solid cathode for high yield. When a steel electrode is used as the cathode in the electrorefining process, uranium is deposited and regularly stuck to the steel cathode during electrorefining. The sticking coefficient of a steel cathode is very high. In order to decrease the sticking coefficient of the steel cathode effectively, vibration mode was applied to the electrode in this study. Uranium dendrites were scraped and fell apart from the steel cathode by a vibration force. The vibrational scraping of the steel cathode was compared to the self-scraping of the graphite cathode. Effects of the applied current density and the vibration stroke on the scraping of the uranium dendrites were also investigated.

With the intention of obtaining technical data for the industrial production of ${\gamma}-MnO_2$ for dry cell depolarizer by electrolytic oxidation of acidic manganese sulfate solution made from domestic rhodochrosite, optimum conditions of ore leaching, purification of leached solution and electrolytic oxidation of divalent manganes to tetravalent were investigated using simulated micro pilot plant having a production capacity of 4 kg of $MnSO_4$ per day. The nature and quality of the products were investigated by means of chemical analysis, DTA, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The cell activity of $MnO_2$were examined by cell discharging character measurements. The optimum electrolysis conditions were as follow: Temperature of the electrolyte, above $90^{\circ}C$; current density, 0.7${\sim}A/dm^2$; anode materials, graphite or lead ; concentration of electrolyte, $MnSO_4 50{\sim}150g/l $ g/l and $H_2SO_4/MnSO_4 = 0.15{\sim}0.25$. Under the best condition the current efficiency was 99% and the products were almost pure ${\gamma}-MnO_2$. The cell discharging character were good and almost the same as that of regular grade commercial electrolytic manganese dioxide.

The use of lithium metal anode at lithium metal secondary battery can provide the very high energy density. Nevertheless, there are some problems that are short cycle life, lack of safety and poor thermal stability. Cycle life and cycling efficiency decline due to passivating films, dendritic lithium and increasing surface film by the reaction of lithium metal and electrolyte. This work investigated the additive effect of benzene, toluene, tetram-ethylethylenediamine, into the electrolyte. The cycling efficiency and cyclability are improved. The reason is confirmed by decreasing film resistance and increasing polarization resistance at AC impedance analysis. Electrolyte additive has a relatively less reactivity than electrolytes lithium and is adsorbed on lithium leading to suppression of the reaction between the electrolyte and lithium as well as an improvement in the lithium deposition mophology.

Electrochemical properties of the Al current collector being used in lithium ion batteries have been studied in the 4 different aprotic electrolytes(1 M $LiBF_4$ EC : DMC, 1 M $LiBF_4$ EC : EMC. 1 M $LiPF_6$ EC : DMC. 1 M $LiPF_6$ EC : EMC) employing cyclic voltammetry and impedance measurement. Al electrode showed a wide range of the electrochemical window(0.5~4.1 V vs. $Li/Li^{+}$). However, solid interfacial materials has been formed on the Al surface due to reduction of impurities($H_2O$, $O_2$, etc), lithium salts, and electrolytes at low applied potentials, and aluminum oxides in the highly oxidizing potential as well. Especially, Al current collector was susceptible to localized in consequence of impurities in electrolytes.

Magnetic abrasive polishing is an advanced deburring process for nonmagnetic materials and micropattern products that have non-machinability characteristics. Despite these advantages, there are some problems with using MAP for deburring. MAP has introduced geometric errors into microgrooves because of an over-cutting force caused by uncontrolled magnetic abrasives in the MAP tool. Thus, in this study, to solve this problem, an EP (electrolyte polishing)-MAP hybrid polishing process was developed for deburring microgrooves in an STS316 material. In addition, an evaluation of EP-MAP for the deburring of microgrooves was carried out by profiling the burrs. The results of the experiment showed geometric errors after the deburring process using MAP. However, in the case of EP-MAP, no geometric error was observed after the process because of the lower material removal rate in EP-MAP.
