To develop anode-supported tubular cell with proper porosity, we have investigated the anode substrate and t the electrolyte-coated anode tube. The anode substrate was manufactured as a function of carbon content in the range of 20 to 50 vol.%. As the carbon COntent increased, the porosity of the anode substrate increased slightly and the carbon c content with proper porosity is found to be 30 vol.%. The anode-supported tube was fabricated by extrusion process a and the electrolyte layer was coated on the anode tube by slurry coating process. The anode-supported tube was cofired successfully at $^1400{\circ}C$ in air. The porosity of the anode tube was 35%. From the gas permeation test, the anode t tube was found to be porous enough for gas supply. On the other hand, the anode-supported tube with electrolyte layer indicated a very low gas permeation rate. This means that the coated electrolyte was dense.

When the low heavy oil is using as fuel oil to the diesel engine, some problems such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance and heat resistance are happened in diesel engine's internal material, especially the adhesive wear of piston ring groove was occurred as a important problem. Therefore to prevent adhesive wear of its groove, the surface of its groove used to be electroplated with Chrominum and for its Chromium electroplating, Fe anode is being used until nowadays because of its Special shape. However in case of using Fe anode, there were some problems such as deterioation of solution, property of Chromium film, and condition of coation. In this paper Pb anode electroplated withPb to the steel plate was investigated for its Chromium electroplating for Pb's high corrosion resistance in acid solution, and Pb anode is not dissolved compared with Fe anode and deterioration degree of solution in case of Pb anode is smaller than that of Fe anode and also property of Chromium film was better than that of Fe anode. Moreover it was known that the optimum cathodic current density for Pb electroplating to steel plate as insoluable anode for Chromium coating of piston ring groove is 30mA/$cm^2$ by experimental results obtained.

We reported on characteristics of the fluorescent OLED fabricated on commercial ITO/glass and BCS grown IZO/glass substrate, respectively. The amorphous IZO anode film grown by box cathode sputtering(BCS) exhibited similar electrical and optical characteristics to commercial ITO anode even though it was deposited at room temperature. In addition, the amorphous IZO anode showed higher workfunction (5.2 eV) than that of the commercial ITO anode (5.0 eV) after ozone treatment for 10 min. Furthermore, fluorescent OLED fabricated on amorphous IZO anode film showed improved current-voltage-luminance characteristics, external quantum efficiency and power efficiency en contrast with fluorescent OLED fabricated on commercial ITO anode film. It was thought that smooth surface and high workfunction of amorphous IZO anode lead to more efficient hole injection by reduction of interface barrier height between anode and organic layers.

A model for DMFC anode performance is developed. The model takes into account potential--independent methanol adsorption on the catalyst surface, finite rate of proton transport through the anode catalyst layer (ACL), and a potential loss due to methanol transport in the anode backing layer. An approximate analytical half--cell polarization curve is derived and equations for the anode limiting current density are obtained. The polarization curve is fitted to the curves measured by Nordlund and Lindbergh and parameters resulted from the fitting are discussed.

This paper describes the structure and electrical characteristics of a shorted anode p-i-n switch. The device showed a significant improvement in the threshold voltage-to-holding voltage ratio, which is due to the suppression of the hole injection from the anode and to the gold gettering at the anode side. The shorted anode devices with a $100{\mu}m$ channel length have a threshold voltage of 300 volts and a holding voltage of 5.5 volts.

The electron charging and degradation of anode phosphor layers are showed major problems in high electric field with anode electrode of field emission devices. An Al metal layer on the phosphor layer may get rid of these problems. This Al metal layer are formed with the roughness of phosphor surface layer without interlayer and cannot be given rise to enhance the luminance efficiency. In order to enhance the brightness, an anode layer need to be flated between phosphor layer and Al metal layer in anode electrode. After optimizing the anode phosphor layer, an anode layer with Al metal and inter layer increased the brightness and luminescence efficiency 1.5 times more than only phosphor layer in anode.

Crossover of nitrogen from cathode to anode is inevitable in typical membranes used in PEM fuel cells. This crossovered nitrogen normally accumulates in the hydrogen recirculation system at anode side channels. Excessive buildup of nitrogen in the anode side lowers the relative hydrogen concentration and finally affects the performance of fuel cell stack. So it is very important to analysis the nitrogen gas crossover at various operating conditions. In this study, characterization of nitrogen gas crossover in PEM fuel cell stack was investigated. The mass spectroscopy (MS) has been applied to measure the amount of the crossovered nitrogen gas at the anode exit. Results show that nitrogen gas crossover rate was affected by current density, anode and cathode stoichiometric ratio and operating pressure. Current density, anode stoichiometric ratio and anode operating pressure do not affect nitrogen crossover rate but anode exit concentration of nitrogen. Cathode pressure and stoichiometric ratio largely affect the nitrogen crossover rate.

The electron charging and degradation of anode phosphor layers are showed major problems in high electric field with anode electrode of field emission devices. An AI metal layer on the phosphor layer may get rid of these problems. This Hetero-metal-oxide phosphor layer are formed with the roughness of phosphor surface layer without interlayer and cannot be given rise to enhance the luminance efficiency. In order to enhance the brightness, an anode layer need to be flated between phosphor layer and AI metal layer in anode electrode. After optimizing the anode phosphor layer, an anode layer with AI metal and inter layer increased the brightness and luminescence efficiency 1.2 times more than only phosphor laver in anode.

The fabrication process of Cu-base anode for replacing Ni-base anode of molten carbonate fuel cell was investigated. Electrochemical performance and thermal stability of Cu-base anode were also investigated. Green sheet was prepared by mixing Cu and Ni powder with 1.5wt% methylcellulose and 100wt% water. The pore-size distribution of the Cu-base anode sintered at $800^{\circ}C$ for 30min showed almost uniform pore-size ranging from 4 to 20$\mu\textrm{m}$ and it was considered suitable for MCFC anode. Cu-Ni anode containing between 35 to 50wt% Ni exhibited current density of 111mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 100mV overpotential and it was almost the some value for pure Ni anode. The sintering resistance of Cu-Ni increased with an increase of Ni addition. It was considered that the increase of sintering resistance was due to the decrease of diffusion rate of Cu and Ni with increasing the addition of Ni in Cu-Ni alloy.

The electrochemical behavior was investigated during the electrolysis of nickel oxide in LiCl-Li₂O salt mixture at 650℃ by changing several components. The focus of this work is to improve anode design and shroud design to increase current densities. The tested components were ceramic anode shroud porosity, porosity size, anode geometry, anode material, and metallic porous anode shroud. The goal of these experiments was to optimize and improve the reduction process. The highest contributors to higher current densities were anode shroud porosity and anode geometry.
