  • Air-cathode microbial fuel cell consisted of 4 unit cells were operated under batch condition and electricity generation and microbial community structure variation were investigated, depending on separator types and cathode characteristics: A) PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane)-30% Wet proofing Carbon Cloth(WC), B) AEM(Anion Exchange Membrane-WC, C) CEM(Cation Exchange Membrane)-WC, D) PEM-No Wet proofing Carbon Cloth(NC). Maximum power densities of PEM-WC, AEM-WC and CEM-WC were 510.9, 522.1 and 504.8 $mW/m^2$, respectively. But PEM-NC showed relatively lower maximum power density of 218.3 $mW/m^2$. And PEM-WC, AEM-WC and CEM-WC showed similar internal resistances(20.0-28.2 ${\Omega}$). PCRDGGE, PCA and diversity indices showed that uncultured bacteria which reported in previous MFC studies were detected in suspended growth bacteria and attached growth bacteria would be affected not by separator type but by cathode characteristic. Thus, cathode characteristic can be one of the critical factors for power generation in air-cathode MFC using PEM, AEM, and CEM as separator.

  • Electricity can be directly generated from organic matter even wastewaters using a microbial fuel cell. To achieve high power in MFCs, finding factors decreasing activation and Ohmic losses is very important. In this study we determined activation loss at the anode and cathode and Ohmic loss using the current interruption technique in a H-type MFC. Activation loss at the cathode was four times higher that that of anode activation loss even if pt-coated carbon (0.5 $mg/cm^2$;10%Pt) was used as the cathode. Ohmic loss determined using current interruption technique (1146 ${\Omega}$) was almost same as the internal resistance (1167 ${\Omega}$) measured using AC impedance. The sum of activation losses at the anode and cathode was the same as the value of activation loss of the cell.

  • In this study, reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite was fabricated tomaximize their advantages with electrochemical performances and use as a electrodematerial for supercapcaitor. Polyaniline as an electrode material was synthesized bychemical polymerization of aniline monomer and reduced graphene oxide wasintroduced to prepare composite with polyaniline without any pre-treatment. Thereduced graphene oxide, polyaniline and their composite electrodes were fabricatedon gold coated PET(polyethylene terephthalate) substrate through spray coatingmethod which can also apply to industrial scale. we have also prepared reducedgraphene oxide and polyaniline single material electrode to compare theirelectrochemical properties with reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite electrode. We have analyzed and compared electrochemical properties of eachelectrodes by using cyclic voltammetry(CV), galvanostaticcharge-discharge(GCD) and electrochemical impedancespectroscopy(EIS) at same condition. As a result, reduced graphene oxide /polyaniline composite electrode showed higher capacitance value more thanpolyaniline and reduced graphene oxide electrode, respectively. Internal resistanceof reduce graphene oxide/polyaniline composite electrode was 24% and 58% lessthan polaniline and reduced graphene oxide electrode respectively. These resultsconsidered that reduced graphene oxide/polyaniline composite electrode has potential ability and enable to apply flexible energy storage and wearable devices.

  • 본 연구에서는 갭을 갖는 전극을 제작하고, 전극사이의 간격이 좁아짐에 따른 분석물질의 전기화학적 신호증폭현상을 확인하였다. 광 리소그래피와 전자빔 리소그래피를 이용하여 기본 전극을 구성하고 이를 바탕으로 전극의 표면에 금속의 환원을 유도함으로써 환원시간에 따라 전극이 점점 좁아지게 하는 방법을 이용하여 다양한 간격의 갭 전극을 제작하였다. 이와같은 방법으로 제작된 전극을 전기화학 신호분석장치에 연결하고, $2{\mu}m$의 간격부터 약 50 nm 까지의 다양한 전극 간격을 가지는 갭 전극 각각에 대한 전기화학적 신호를 분석하였다. 전극에 Ferricyanide 를 노출시켜 전극의 간격이 좁을수록 FeCN63-의 산화 환원에 따른 패러데이 전류가 증폭하는 것을 확인하였으며, 분석물질의 검출 한계 농도 또한 낮아짐을 확인하였다. 이러한 실험결과는 일정전위기의 순환전압전류법, 주사전자현미경, 원자힘현미경을 이용하여 분석되었다.

  • The electrochemical reduction of iodine in non-aqueous media have been studied by polarography, chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry at dropping mercury electrode and platinum, gold and amalgamated platium electrodes. In amphiprotic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and pyridine, iodine were reduced to iodide ions via one step reduction involving 1 electron and in aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide via two step reduction involving all 3 electrons. The reductions of iodine give well defined polarograms at dropping mercury electrode and irreversible chronopotentiograms at platinum electrode, but less defined irreversible chronopotentiograms at gold and amalgamated platinum electrodes, those are all diffusion controlled. The diffusion coefficients of iodine in various solvents were estimated from the chronopotentiometric data and Sand equation.

  • 미생물 연료전지는 정부가 추진하고 있는 신성장 동력사업의 녹색성장 정책에 부합하는 환경융합 신기술로써 일상생활에서 배출되는 하 폐수와 같은 유기물질을 전자공여체로 이용하여 전기에너지를 생산 할 수 있다는 점에서 각광받고 있다. 미생물 연료전지는 산화전극부의 미생물이 공급된 유기물질 을 분해하여 전자와 수소이온을 생성시키며 이들은 산소가 존재하는 환원전극부로 이동하여 물로 환원 됨 으로써 전기를 생성한다. 전기 화학적 성능의 향상을 위해 미생물 연료전지에서는 환원전극부에 서의 산소와 전자 및 수소이온의 빠른 환원반응을 유도해 주는 Pt촉매를 이용한다. 하지만 고가의 Pt 촉매는 미생물 연료전지의 현장적용을 위한 규모확장 시 초기비용이 증가되는 문제점을 초래한다. 이에 미생물 연료전지의 대체촉매 개발에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 화학적 연료전지에 관한 논문에서 연료전지의 촉매로 산소 환원반응에 높은 성능을 보이는 Co-N/C 형태의 Cobalt poly-pyrrole carbon가 제시 되었다. 이는 가격적인 측면에서는 Pt촉매의 약1/10배 정도 수준이지만 셀 성능은 Pt촉매의 95%정도의 효율을 보인다는 측면에서 향후 Pt 대체촉매로 가능성을 보여주는 새로운 비금속 촉매물질이다. Cobalt poly-pyrrole carbon이 Pt-catalsyt 셀 전압 성능 대비 약 66 %의 효율을 보였고 내부저항과 최대전력 밀도에 있어서도 촉매를 사용하지 않은 경우와 비금속 촉매의 성능보다 높음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 Pt-catalsyt를 대체할 수 있는 저가의 산소환원 촉매물질 발굴을 위해 미생물연료전지에서 사용된 전례가 없으며 현재 화학전지의 촉매로 널리 쓰이고 있는 Cobalt poly-pyrrole carbon의 산소환원 촉매로써의 이용가능성을 평가하기 위해 실시되었으며, 평가한 결과는 첫 번째로 Cobalt poly-pyrrole carbon을 사용한 경우가 촉매를 사용하지 않은 경우와 비금속 촉매보다 환원 전극부에서의 원활한 환원작용이 진행되고 있음을 추측할 수 있으며 Pt-catalyst와 비교하였을 때 성능 대비 저렴한 가격으로 가격 경쟁력에 있어서 우월하다고 판단되었고 두 번째로 전기화학적 성능평가 및 EIS를 이용한 환원전극부의 내부저항 평가를 실시한 결과 셀 전압에 있어서 가장 많은 도말량 ($2.0mg/cm^2$)이 높은 성능을 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • The electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen is investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry at glassy carbon electrode and carbon microelectrode coated with a variety of cobalt phenylprophyrins in various pH solutions. Oxygen reduction catalyzed by the monomeric porphyrin Co(Ⅱ)-TPP mainly occurs through the 2e$^-$ reduction pathway resulting in the formation of hydrogen peroxide whereas electrocatalytic process carried out 4e$^-$ reduction pathway of oxygen to H$_2$O at the electrodes coated with cofacial bis-cobalt phenylporphyrins in acidic solution. The electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen is irreversible and diffusion controlled. The reduction potentials of oxygen in various pH solutions have a straight line from pH 4 to pH 13, but level off in strong acidic solution. The reduction potentials of oxygen shift to positive potential more 400 mV at the electrode coated with monomer Co-TPP compound than bare glassy carbon electrode while 750 mV at the electrode coated with dimer Co-TPP compound.

  • LOMI(Low Oxidation State Metal Ion) 재염제의 구성성분 중 가장 중요한 성분인 $V^{2+}$-formate 를 formic acid 내에서 VO$^{2+}$ 이온을 전기화학적으로 환원시켜 제조하였다. 산성용액 내에서의 전기화학반응은 목적반응인 바나듐이온의 환원반응과 부반응인 수소이온의 환원반응이 경쟁적으로 일어나며 이는 전극재료의 영향을 크게 받는다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Cyclic Voltammetry(CV) 방법으로 여러 가지 전극재료의 특성을 조사하여 공업적 활용이 가능한 전극으로 수은, 납 및 스테인레스 스틸을 선정하였다. 선정된 전극을 이용하여 제조실증시험을 수행한 결과 소량의 고순도 제염제의 제조에는 수은전극을 대략의 공업용 제염제가 필요한 경우에는 스태인레스 스틸 전극을 음극재료로 사용하는 것이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

  • Power overshoot phenomenon was observed in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) used non-catalyzed graphite felt as cathode. Voltage loss in MFCs was mainly caused by cathode potential loss. Cheap stainless steel scrubber, which has high conductivity, and Pt/C coated graphite felt as cathode were used for overcoming power overshoot and reducing the cathode potential loss in MFCs. The MFCs used stainless steel scrubber showed no power overshoot even slow catholyte flow rate and produced 29% enhanced maximum current density ($23.9A/m^3$) than MFCs used non-catalyzed graphite felt while the power overshoot phenomenon was existed in Pt/C coated MFCs. Increasing catholyte flow rate resulted in disappearing power overshoot of MFCs used non-catalyzed graphite felt. In addition, maximum power density and current density of both MFCs used non-catalyzed graphite felt and stainless steel scrubber increased by 2-3.5 times. Cathode potential losses in all region of activation loss, ohmic loss, and mass transport loss were reduced according to increase of catholyte flow rate. Therefore, stainless steel scrubber has advantages that are economical materials as electrode and prevents power overshoot, leading to enhance electricity generation. In addition, increasing catholyte flux is one of great solution when power overshoot caused by cathodic overpotential is observed in MFCs.
