The characteristics of power generation were investigated by changing the electrical conductivity from 10 to 40mS/cm using air-cathode microbial fuel cell, which had graphite fiber fabric(GFF) anode. There were three kinds of cathode used: one was carbon cloth cathode coated with Pt, another was carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode with non-precious catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn, and the other was carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode without any catalyst. When it was operated in batch mode, power density of 1369.5mW/$m^2$ was achieved at conductivity of 20mS/cm. Power density from MFC with CNT cathode coated with multi-catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn was shown about 985.55mW/$m^2$, which was 75.1% compared the power density of carbon cloth coated with Pt. This meant that CNT cathode coated with multi-catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn could be an alternative of carbon cloth cathode.

소형 인공위성에 적용하기 위해 홀 추력기의 음극 전원공급기가 개발되었다. 이 전기추력기에는 마이크로웨이브 음극을 적용하였고 음극전원은 안정적인 동작을 위해서 필수적이다. 유량을 조절함에 따라 양극전류는 변하게 되고 이때 음극전류는 양극전류에 비례하여 제어되어야 한다. 그래서 양극전류에 비례하여 음극전류를 공급하도록 음극전원을 설계하였다. 또한 음극전원은 음극의 안정성을 위해 음극전류가 약 0.03A 이내에서 양극전류보다 더 흐르도록 세부 조정되었다. 음극전원에 대한 기능시험은 양극과 음극을 등가적인 부하로 구성하여 수행되었다. 안정적인 추력기 동작을 확인하기 위해서 진공 챔버에서 검증되었고 발사 이후에 우주환경에서도 정상적으로 동작하는 것을 확인하였다.

Beta rays emitted from tritium in titanium tritide film were simulated with cathode rays of a scanning electron microscope to investigate the effect of beta rays from tritium on semiconductor devices. The cathode ray currents, which vary with the change of applied energy and beam spot size, were measured with Faraday cup. The current from the semiconductor device irradiated with cathode rays at various conditions was measured. The cathode ray current increased with the increase of spot size to a maximum then decreased when the spot sized increased further. The magnitude of current produced in the semiconductor device is proportional to the magnitude of cathode ray current. The magnitude of cathode ray current at each energy level was matched to the intensity of beta ray to simulate the tritium beta ray spectrum. Then the semiconductor characteristics were analyzed with I-V curves.

본 논문은 CRT 표시장치에서 고전류밀도를 구현하기 위한 전자총의 히터와 캐소드의 최적의 저전력설계와 실험을 수행하였다. CRT 표시장치에서 밝기, 고휘도, 고해상도와 대화면화를 위해서는 전자총 캐소드(cathode)의 고전류밀도가 필수적이다. 이를 위해서는 함침형 캐소드가 사용되며, 고전류밀도를 얻기 위해 히터의 동작온도를 높여야하는데 이에 비례하여 소비전력도 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 고전류밀도 캐소드 히터의 저전력 설계를 위하여 히터의 리드형태(Lead Type), 코팅(Coating)법, 발열부의 1차 및 2차 코일링의 피치와 권선수를 달리한 샘플을 제작, 시험하였다.

The microwave power supply is mainly composed of the cathode power supply supplying the beam voltage and beam current of the gyrotron and body power supply for the single depressed collector (SDC) operation, which requires the cathode voltage/current of 80 kV/24 A for the cathode and +24 kV for the body. This paper is describing the power supply system for the gyrotron of KSTAR.

There are many application fields of electrical energy storage such as load shifting, integration with renewables, frequency or voltage supports, and so on. Especially, the frequency regulation is needed to stabilize the electric power system, and there have to be more than 1 GW as power reserve in Korea. Ni-rich layered oxide cathode materials have been investigated as a cathode material for Li-ion batteries because of their higher discharge capacity and lower cost than lithium cobalt oxide. Nonetheless, most of them have been investigated using small coin cells, and therefore, there is a limit to understand the deterioration mode of Ni-rich layered oxides in commercial high energy Li-ion batteries. In this paper, the pouch-type 20 Ah-scale Li-ion full cells are fabricated using Ni-rich layered oxides as a cathode and graphite as an anode. Above all, two test conditions for the application of frequency regulation were established in order to examine the performances of cells. Then, the electrochemical performances of two types of Ni-rich layered oxides are compared, and the long-term performance and degradation mode of the cell using cathode material with high nickel contents among them were investigated in the frequency regulation conditions.

Electrochemical redox capacity of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) electrode is an important factor in the power density. This study was conducted to investigate the redox capacity of surface modified anode and cathode electrodes by measuring their conductivities. An anode electrode was modified with nitric acid and a cathode electrode was modified with heat treatment. The anode electrode modified with 20 % of the nitric acid concentration showed the highest conductivity of $6.2{\mu}S/cm/g$ and the maximum power density of $306.0mW/m^2$ when used in a MFC. The cathode electrode modified at $472^{\circ}C$ for 18 min showed the highest conductivity of $5.2{\mu}S/cm/g$ and the maximum power density of $276.20mW/m^2$ when used in a MFC. On the other hand, an MFC using both the electrodes showed the highest maximum power density of $408.2mW/m^2$. Meanwhile, a control MFC without modified electrodes generated very small voltage (0.014 mV), so the power density could not be measured.

In this paper, experiments with an air-breathing proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) for mobile devices were carried out according to cathode conditions. These conditions are defined by the cathode flow field plate type (the channel type, the open type) and the cathode surface direction. Single-cell and 6-cell stack were used in the experiments. The experimental results showed that the open-type cathode flow field plate gave a better performance than the small channel type. In the experiments related to the direction of the slits on the cathode flow field plate, the horizontal slit cell was better than the vertical one. With respect to the cathode surface direction, when the cathode surface is placed in the direction normal to the ground, the PEMFC generated more stable power in the mass transport loss region. Since stable power in the mass transport region is closely related to the air supply, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis for air-breathing PEMFC of different cathode surface directions was performed.

본 연구에서는 티타늄 산화막을 상온에서 HCP (hollow cathode plasma) 반응기에 의하여 증착하였다. HCP 반응기에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과, 전극에서의 열 발생에 관계없이 기판 표면에서의 온도분포는 일정하였다. 그리고 전극과의 거리가 증가하면서 기판 표면에서의 유체는 일정한 것으로 나타났으며, 표면 조도는 거리에 따라 감소하였다. 출력이 증가할수록 산소의 조성은 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 출력이 240 watt와 반응 거리가 3 cm에서 Ti와 O의 비율이 1 : 2에 가깝게 결합이 이루어졌다.

Experiments have been performed to investigate effects of pulsating cathode flow on a 10-cell proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack. For all the experiments, the flow rate, temperature and relative humidity of hydrogen at the anode inlet are fixed. The effects of the pulsating frequency, amplitude and flow rate at the cathode inlet on performance of 10-cell PEMFC are examined. The polarization and power curves show that the power output and limiting current is substantially increased when the pulsating component is added to cathode flow channel. The maximum power output increases by up to 38% and enhancement of the overall performance is more pronounced at lower flow rate region.
