Ni/MH 2차전지의 음극용 금속간화합물전극의 부식특성에 미치는 합금원소와 결합제의 영향을 조사하였다. 전극의 재료는 $(LM)Ni_{4.49}Co_{0.1}Mn_{0.205}Al_{0.205}$와 $(LM)Ni_{3.6}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}Al_{0.4}$의 $AB_5$ type합금을 모재로 하였다. 여기에 Si sealant 또는 PTFE를 결합제로 첨가한 것과 원재료 분말에 구리를 20% 무전해도금한 것을 냉간 압착하여 전극을 제조하였다. 부식특성을 조사하기위해 탈공기된 6M의 KOH 용액에서 동전위법과 순환전위법을 이용하여 부식전류와 전류밀도를 측정하였다. 모재에 Co가 많이 함유되면 전극의 내식성을 향상시키고 Ni이 많이 함유되면 충전과 방전을 반복하는 동안에 전극의 안정성을 저하시켰다. 부식전류밀도는 Si sealant를 결합제로 사용한 전극의 경우가 PTFE를 사용한 전극의 경우보다 낮았고 Cu가 도금된 전극은 내식성에서 가장 우수하게 나타났다.

The interface between the surface of a cathode material and the electrolyte gives rise to surface reactions such as solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and chemical side reactions. These reactions lead to increased surface resistance and charge transfer resistance. It is consequently necessary to improve the electrochemical characteristics by suppressing these reactions. In order to suppress unnecessary surface reactions, we coated cathode material using polypropylene (PP). The PP coating layer effectively reduced the SEI film that is generated after a 4.3 V initial charging process. By mitigating the formation of the SEI film, the PP-coated Li[(Ni_0.6Co_0.1Mn_0.3)_0.36(Ni_0.80Co_0.15Al0.05)_0.64)]O₂(NCS) electrode provided enhanced transport of Li⁺ ions due to reduced SEI resistance (R_SEI) and charge transfer resistance (R_ct). The initial charge and discharge efficiency of the PP-coated NCS electrode was 96.2 % at a current density of 17 mA/g in a voltage range of 3.0 ~ 4.3 V, whereas the efficiency of the NCS electrode was only 94.7 %. The presence of the protective PP layer on the cathode improved the thermal stability by reducing the generated heat, and this was confirmed via DSC analysis by an increased exothermic peak.

자연산화 $Al_2$O$_3$층이 형성된 하부형태 터널링 자기저항 다층박막이 기본진공도 $10^{-9}$ Torr을 유지하는 UHV 챔버내에서 이온빔 스퍼터링과 dc 마그네트론 스퍼터링 법으로 증착되었다. 제작된 스핀의존터널링 (SDT) 접합소자의 최대 터널링자기저항(TMR)와 최소 접합저항과 면적곱(R$_{j}$ A) 각각 16~17%와 50-60$\Omega$$\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$이었다. 자기장하에서 열처리한 SDT접합에 대한 TMR향상과 (R$_{j}$ A) 감소의 변화는 미미하였다. 접합면적이 81$\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$에서 47$\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$까지 접합크기가 작이짐에 따라 TMR이 증가하고 (R$_{j}$ A)이 감소하는 의존성이 관찰되었다. 이러한 현상을 하부층 단자의 판흐름 저항값 의존효과와 스핀채널효과로 설명하였다.

An asymmetric metal-semiconductor-metal Al_0.24Ga_0.76N ultraviolet (UV) sensor was fabricated, and the effects of local Joule heating were investigated. After dielectric breakdown, the current density under a reverse bias of 2.0 V was 1.1×10^-9 A/cm², significantly lower than 1.2×10^-8 A/cm² before dielectric breakdown; moreover, the Schottky behavior of the Ti/Al/Ni/Au electrode changed to ohmic behavior under forward bias. The UV-to-visible rejection ratio (UVRR) under a reverse bias of 7.0 V before dielectric breakdown was 87; however, this UVRR significantly increased to 578, in addition to providing highly reliable responsivity. Transmission electron microscopy revealed interdiffusion between adjacent layers, with nitrogen vacancies possibly formed owing to local Joule heating at the AlGaN/Ti/Al/Ni/Au interfaces. X-ray photoelectron microscopy results revealed decreases in the peak intensities of the O 1s binding energies associated with the Ga-O bond and OH-, which act as electron-trapping states on the AlGaN surface. The reduction in dark current owing to the proposed local heating method is expected to increase the sensing performance of UV optoelectronic integrated devices, such as active-pixel UV image sensors.

A new cathode material based on Li$Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ (LNCA)/polyaniline (Pani) composite was prepared by in situ self-stabilized dispersion polymerization in the presence of LNCA. The materials were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties including galvanostatic charge-discharge ability, cyclic voltammetry (CV), capacity, cycling performance, and AC impedance were measured. The synthesized LNCA/Pani had a similar particle size to LNCA and exhibited good electrochemical properties at a high C rate. Pani (the emeraldine salt form) interacts with metal-oxide particles to generate good connectivity. This material shows good reversibility for Li insertion in discharge cycles when used as the electrode of lithium ion batteries. Therefore, the Pani coating is beneficial for stabilizing the structure and reducing the resistance of the LNCA. In particular, the LNCA/Pani material has advantageous electrochemical properties.

The AB5-type metal hydride electrodes using $(LM)Ni_{4.49}Co_{0.1}Mn_{0.205}Al_{0.205}$(LM : Lanthaniumrich Mischmetal) alloy powders(${\leq}200$mesh) which were coated with 25wt% copper in an acidic bath were prepared with or without addition of 10wt% PTFE as a binder. Prior to electrochemical measurements, the electrodes were sintered at $40^{\circ}C$ for 1 and 2hrs in vacuum with Mm(mischmetal) and sponge type Ti getters. The properties such as maximum capacity, cycle life and mechanical strength of the negative electrode have been investigated. The surface analysis of the electrode was also obtained before and after charge-discharge cycling using scanning electron microscope(SEM). From the observations of electrochemical behavior, it was found that the sintered electrode shows a lower maximum discharge capacity compared with non-sintered electrode but it shows a better cycle life. For the both electrodes with or without addition of PTFE binder, the values of mechanical strength were obtained, and their values increased with increasing sintering time. However, there is little difference of discharge capacity for both electrodes.

The stability of alumina-coated NiO cathodes was studied in $Li_{0.62}/K_{0.38}$ molten carbonate electrolyte. Alumina was effectively coated on the porous Ni plate using galvanostatic pulse plating method. The deposition mechanism of alumina was governed by the concentration of hydroixde ions near the working electrode, which was controlled by the temperature of bath solution. Alumina-coated NiO cathodes were formed to $A1_2O_3-NiO$ solid solution by the oxidation process and their Ni solubilities were were than that of NiO up to the immersion time of 100h. However, their Ni solubilities increased and were similar to that of the bare NiO cathode after 100h. It was because aluminum into the solid solution was segregated to $\alpha-LiAlO_2$ on the NiO and its Product did not Play a role of the Physical barrier against NiO dissolution.

The $(LM)Ni_{4.5}Co_{0.1}Mn_{0.2}Al_{0.2}$ hydrogen storage alloy powders were conducted 25wt% electroless copper plating in an acidic bath. For the preparation of a hydride electrodes, the copper coated alloy powder was mixed with Si-sealant(organosilicon) and compacted with $6t/cm^2$ at room temperature. The electrode characteristics were examined through electrochemical measurements in a half cell. As a sealant contents increased, the initial discharge capacity of si-sealant bounded electrode was lower and the activation rate in high current density was slower. For extended cycles, however, the electrodes with the Si-sealant were superior in a high rate discharge and useful range of temperature over the sealant-free electrode. In addition, the cycle life increased with increasing the amount of Si-sealant added. It can be suggested from the results that the Si-sealant as a binder could be applied to the preparation of the metal hydride electrode.

Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) 및 Mn(II)의 네자리 Schiff base 전이금속 화합물들이 첨가된 1.5 M $LiAlCl_4/SOCl_2$ 전해질 용액에서 $SOCl_2$에 관한 전기 화학적 환원 반응을 조사하였다. 이들 전이 금속(II) 착물들은 먼저 전극 표면에 흡착된 후 촉매로써 작용하였으며, 각각의 전이 금속(II) 착물들의 촉매 화합물에 대해 $SOCl_2$를 환원시킬 수 있는 최적 조건의 농도를 나타냈다. 촉매가 첨가된 전해질 용액에서 $SOCl_2$의 환원 반응에 대한 환원 전류는 최고 150% 정도 증가하였다. 주사 속도가 증가함에 따라 $SOCl_2$의 환원 전류는 증가하였고 환원 전위는 음 전위 방향으로 이동되었으며, $SOCl_2$의 환원 과정은 확산 지배적인 반응으로 진행되었다.
