전기화학적으로 이온을 흡착시켜 제거시키는 capacitive deionization(CDI) 공정용 전극으로 탄소에어로젤에 실리카젤이 첨가된 다공성 탄소에어로젤 복합전극을 사유하여 1,000ppm NaCl수용액에서 10회와 100회 동안 싸이클을 변화시켜 탈염과 재생 특성에 대한 충전과 방전 시 시간에 따른 전류변화, 싸이클에 대한 전하량 변화, 그리고 CDI효율을 조사하였다. Paste rolling법으로 제조된 탄소에어로젤 복합전극은 CDI반응진행에 대한 전극 활물질의 탈락이 없이 전극의 성형성이 크게 향상되었고, 전극시트 제조시간을 $50\%$ 이상 단축시킬 수 있었다. 10분동안 충전과 방전으로 10회 싸이클까지의 전하량 결과를 살펴보면, $50wt.\%$의 실리카젤이 첨가된 C복합전극의 평균 충전 전하량이 실리카젤이 첨가되지 않은 A전극에 비해 $3\%$ 증가하였으며, 평균 방전 전하량은 $7\%$증가하였다. 5분동안 충전과 방전으로 100회 싸이클까지 평균 충전 전하량을 보면 $25w1.\%$와 $50wt.\%$의 실리카젤이 첨가된 B복합전극과 C복합전극은 A전극에 비해 각각 $6\%,\;14\%$증가하였으며, 또한 평균 방전 전하량도 각각 $9\%,\;21\%$증가하여 복합전극의 전하량 특성이 매우 우수하였다. 100회 싸이클까지의 CDI효율은 싸이클이 진행되면서 $70\%$ 이상으로 안정하게 유지하였고, 100회 싸이클에서는 B 복합전극이 $72.3\%$, C 복합전극이 $74.0\%$로 A 전극$(63.1\%)$보다 $10\%$이상 우수한 CDI 효율을 나타내었다.

This article reviews technical trend in research of stretchable electrodes for wearable devices, bio-integrated devices, and stretchable electronics. Stretchable electronics is new emerging class of electronics following flexible electronics. One of the most difficult challenges in the development of stretchable electronic is to realize high performance stretchable electrodes with a low resistivity and high strain failure and stretchability against severe strain of the substrate. For this reason, there are many reports on the promising stretchable electrodes including CNT, graphene, Ag nanowire, and composite materials. We outline the recent research for stretchable substrate and stretchable electrode materials to realize highly stretchable electrodes.

전기활성고분자의 종류 중 하나인 유전성 탄성체의 거동에 대응할 수 있는 유연전극 제조에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 전도성 고분자(PEDOT:PSS)에 가소제 역할을 하는 자이리톨(Xylitol)을 첨가하여 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 자이리톨을 첨가한 전극의 유연성을 확인하기 위해 실리콘 시편에 전극을 도포하여 인장시험을 수행하였다. 자이리톨을 70 wt% 첨가한 조건에서 연신률이 크게 증가함을 확인하였고 실리콘 거동에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 전극과 실리콘의 접착성을 향상시키기 위해 표면조도가 다른 실리콘 필름을 제작하였으며 사포 #120으로 처리한 시편에서 실리콘 필름과 전극의 접착성이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Gold have been used as an electrode materials having a good mechanical flexibility as well as electrical conductivity, however the stretchability of the gold on a flexible substrate is poor because of its small elastic modulus. To overcome this mechanical inferiority, the reinforcing gold is necessary for the stretchable electronics. Among the reinforcing materials having a large elastic modulus, carbon nanotube (CNT) is the best candidate due to its good electrical conductivity and nanoscale diameter. Therefore, similarly to ferroconcrete technology, here we demonstrated gold electrodes mechanically reinforced by inserting fabrics of CNTs into their bodies. Flexibility and stretchability of the electrodes were determined for various densities of CNT fabrics. The roles of CNTs in resisting electrical disconnection of gold electrodes from the mechanical stress were confirmed using field emission scanning electron microscope and optical microscope. The best mechanical stability was achieved at a density of CNT fabrics manufactured by 1.5 ml spraying. The concept of the mechanical reinforced metal electrode by CNT is the first trial for the high stretchable conductive materials, and can be applied as electrodes materials in various flexible and stretchable electronic devices such as transistor, diode, sensor and solar cell and so on.

We fabricated five type of electric double layer capacitor(EDLC) with extremely stable activated carbon as a positive and negative electrodes. The electrodes consisted of activated carbon and several different conductor layers on aluminium foil. Cyclic voltammogram of activated carbon electrodes at scan rate 5mV/sec was reversable redox reaction. The discharge capacity of activated carbon-KS 6 composite electrode was higher than that of activated carbon electrode without KS 6.

복합전극의 결착특성은 리튬이차전지의 장기신뢰성 확보와 고에너지밀도 구현을 위한 중요한 물성임에도 불구하고, 측정 기술의 한계로 관련 연구가 제한적이었다. 하지만, $1{\sim}1000{\mu}m$ 두께의 코팅층을 절삭 및 박리하면서 결착특성을 측정할 수 있는 SAICAS(Surface And Interfacial Cutting Analysis System)란 장비의 출현으로 전극 결착특성 연구가 활발해지고 있다. 따라서, 본 총설에서는 SAICAS를 이용한 복합전극의 결착특성 분석 원리 및 측정 방법뿐만 아니라, Peel Test와 같은 기존 결착특성 분석 방법과 비교함으로써 SAICAS를 이용한 분석 방법의 신뢰성 검증 결과를 제시한다. 또한, 전극 설계의 최적화, 신규 바인더 도출 연구, 복합전극 내 바인더 분포 등의 연구에서 SAICAS가 적용된 사례를 소개한다. 이를 통해 SAICAS를 이용한 분석 방법이 리튬이차전지용 복합전극의 결착특성 분석에 용이하게 적용될 수 있음을 제안한다.

This computational study features the transient compressible and inviscid flow analysis on a metallic plasma discharge from the opposing composite electrodes which is subjected to pulsed electric power. The computations have been performed using the flux corrected transport algorithm on the axisymmetric two-dimensional domain of electrode gap and outer space along with the calculation of plasma compositions and thermophysical properties such as plasma electrical conductivity. The mass ablation from aluminum electrode surfaces are modeled with radiative flux from plasma column experiencing intense Joule heating. The computational results shows the highly ionized and highly under-expanded supersonic plasma discharge with strong shock structure of Mach disk and blast wave propagation, which is very similar to muzzle blast or axial plasma jet flows. Also, the geometrical effects of composite electrodes are investigated to compare the amount of mass ablation and penetration depth of plasma discharge.

The ionic polymer-metal composite actuators with selectively grown multiple electrodes were developed to mimic the swimming locomotion of a fish. The developed method is based on combining electroplating with the electroless chemical reduction using the patterned mask. The advantages of this fabrication method are that the initial compositing between the polymer and platinum particles can be assured by the chemical reduction method, and the thickness of each electrode can be controlled easily and rapidly by electroplating. By using the fabricated actuator with a multiple degree of freedom, the oscillatory wave of the flexible membrane actuator was generated and a twisting motion was also realized to verify the possibility of mimicking the fish-like locomotion. The frequency response function was analyzed to investigate the natural frequency and the damping factor by a mechanical shaker and direct electrical excitation through the swept-sine method. Present results show that this novel method can be a promising technique to easily pattern each of multiple electrodes and to implement the biomimetic motion of the polymer actuators with good mechanical bending performance.

Photoelectrocatalytic decolorization of methlene blue (MB) in the presence of two types of carbon nanotube/titania and yttrium-treated carbon nanotube/titania electrodes in aqueous solutions were studied under visible light. The prepared composite electrodes were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and photoelectrocatalytic activity. The photoelectrocatalytic performances of the supported catalysts were evaluated for the decolorization of MB solution under visible light irradiation. The results showed that yttrium incorporation enhanced the decolorization rate of MB. It was found that the photoelectrocatalytic degradation of a MB solution could be attributed to the combined effects caused by the photo-degradation of titania, the electron assistance of carbon nanotube network, the enhancement of yttrium and a function of the applied potential. The repeatability of photocatalytic activity was also tested. The presence of yttrium enhanced the hydrophillicity of yttrium-carbon nanotubes/titania electrode because more OH groups can be adsorbed on the surface.

In this paper, three types of CNT/$TiO_2$ composite electrodes were prepared with different methods. The changes in XRD patterns showed that the Electrode A contained a mixed phase of anatase and rutile while the Electrode B and Electrode C contained a typical single and clear anatase crystal structure. From SEM micrographs, $TiO_2$ particles were adhered on the surface of the CNT network in the forms of small clusters. The results of chemical elemental analysis indicated that the main elements such as C, O and Ti were existed. The results demonstrated that the efficiency of photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) oxidation for methylene blue (MB) was higher than that of photocatalytic (PC) oxidation. There was a clear enhancement trend of the MB degradation using the prepared CNT/$TiO_2$ composite electrodes with an increase of applied potential. Finally, the prominent PEC activities of the CNT/$TiO_2$ composites could be attributed to combination effects of photo-degradation of $TiO_2$, electron assistant of CNT and function of applied potential.
