본 연구에서는 화학적으로 활성 흑연나노섬유를 제조하여 그에 따른 전기화학적 거동을 확인하였다. 활성화제로 KOH를 사용하였으며, KOH와 흑연나노섬유의 비를 무게비로 각각 0, 1, 2, 4, 및 5로 처리하여 표면과 기공특성을 연구하였고, 그에 따른 전기화학적 거동을 살펴보았다. 활성화된 흑연나노섬유의 결정구조와 표면특성은 각각 X-선 회절분석법(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM) 분석방법을 이용하여 확인하였으며, 기공 특성은 비표면적 장치(BET)를 이용하였으며 질소흡착 등온선에 의해 조사하였다. 전기화학적 특성은 10 mV/s의 주사속도로 순환전류전압(cyclic voltammetry)을 통한 곡선으로 고찰하였으며 정전류법(galvanostatic method)으로 측정된 충방전 곡선을 통해 비축전용량을 계산하였다. 실험 결과로부터, 활성 흑연나노섬유의 전기화학적 거동은 KOH 양이 증가함에 따라 향상되었으며, 4 배 처리된 활성 흑연나노섬유가 최대의 비축전용량을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 KOH 활성화에 의해 활성 흑연나노섬유의 비표면적과 기공부피가 증가하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문은 지하매설 철 구조물의 전기적 부식방지를 위해 Mg 희생양극을 사용하는 부식방지 기술에 대한 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있다. Mg 희생양극은 지하에 매설되는 철 구조물(파이프, 탱크, 파일, 고정 앵커 등)을 부식으로부터 보호하기 위하여 사용되는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 종래의 산화 소화용 표면 보호재로 이용되고 있는 비교적 값이 싼 CaCl2 염화물을 이용하여 마그네슘 합금제조 시 CaCl2 염화물의 표면보호 효과 및 제조된 Mg-Ca 합금들의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다 금속 Ca가 아닌 산화방지 및 소화 용제로 이용되고 있는 염화물(CaCl2)을 이용하여 자연부식 전위 값이 -1.695VSCE 이하, 사용효율도 59% 이상인 Mg-Mn-Ca 희생양극제의 제조기술을 확립하였다.

Carbon nanomaterials are considered to be the materials of choice for the fabrication of electrochemical energy storage devices due to their stability, cost-effectiveness, well-established processing techniques, and superior performance compared to other active materials. In the present work, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) has been synthesized and used for the fabrication of a symmetric supercapacitor. The electrochemical performance of the fabricated supercapacitors with three different aqueous electrolytes namely 0.5 M H₂SO₄, 0.5 M H₃PO₄, and 1.0M Na₂SO₄ have been compared and analyzed. Among the three electrolytes, the highest areal specific capacitance of 14 mF/cm² was calculated at a scan rate of 5 mV/s observed with 0.5M H₃PO₄ electrolyte. The results were also confirmed from the charge/discharge results where the supercapacitor with 0.5M H₃PO₄ electrolyte delivered a specific capacitance of 11 mF/cm² at a current density of 0.16 mA/cm². In order to assess the stability of the supercapacitor with different electrolytes, the cells were subjected to continuous charge/discharge cycling and it was observed that acidic electrolytes showed excellent cyclic stability with no appreciable drop in specific capacitance as compared to the neutral electrolyte.

The use of microwaves as the energy source for synthesis and sintering of ceramics offers substantial advantages compared to conventional gas-fired and electric resistance furnaces. Benefits include much shorter processing times and reaching the sintering temperature more quickly, resulting in superior final product quality. Most oxide ceramics poorly interact with microwave irradiation at low temperatures; thus, a more complex setup including a susceptor is needed, which makes the whole process very complicated. This investigation pursued a new approach, which enabled us to use microwave irradiation directly in poorly coupled oxides. In many solid-state electrochemical devices, the support is either metal or can be reduced to metal. Metal powders in the support can act as an internal susceptor and heat the entire cell. Then sufficient interaction of microwave irradiation and ceramic material can occur as the sample temperature increases. This microwave heating and exothermic reaction of oxidation of the support can sinter the ceramic very efficiently without any external susceptor. In this study, yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and a Ni-YSZ cermet support were used as an example. The cermet was used as the support, and a YSZ electrolyte was coated and sintered directly using microwave irradiation without the use of any susceptor. The results were compared to a similar cell prepared using a conventional electric furnace. The leakage test and full cell power measurement results revealed a fully leak-free electrolyte. Scanning electron microscopy and density measurements show that microwave sintered samples have lower open porosity in the electrode support than conventional heat treatment. This technique offers an efficient way to directly use microwave irradiation to sinter thin film ceramics without a susceptor.

Following the trends around the world in the 1990's, Australia has been promoting recycling as a means to reduce wastes and at the same time improve the economics of metal processing. Of significance to the metal processing industry is the recycling of steel and aluminium, mostly from cans collected from households. The recycling of cyanide during gold processing has also been evaluated extensively, involving many R&D activities currently conducted in several laboratories and commercial plants in Australia. This paper presents an overview of the above issues, evaluating facts and data collected on metal recycling. The technologies currently developed and evaluated for cyanide recycling are also discussed.

MAO ceramic coatings were prepared on AZ61 magnesium alloy for various processing times ranging from 5 to 60 min, in an electrolyte solution based on silicate-fluoride. The mechanical, electrochemical and, microstructural properties and the phase compositions of the coating layers were investigated. In this work, unlike previous studies, coatings with high amounts of the $Mag_2SiO_4$ phase were formed which contained small amounts of MgO and $MgF_2$ at a processing condition of 30 min. A microstructural analysis revealed that the porosity of the coatings was reduced considerably with an increase in the processing time, together with a change in the pore geometry from an irregular to a spherical shape. Potentiodynamic polarization and mechanical testing results showed that the coatings acquired after a processing time of 30 min were superior to all of the others.

Single-chamber solid oxide fuel cells (SC-SOFCs) consist of only one gas chamber, in which both the anode and the cathode are exposed to the same fuel-oxidant mixture. Thus, this configuration shows good thermal and mechanical resistance and allows rapid start-up and -down. In this study, the unit cell consisting of $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}MnO_3$ (cathode) / $Zr_{0.84}Y_{0.16}O_{2-x}$ (electrolyte) / $Ni-Zr_{0.84}Y_{0.16}O_{2-x}$ (anode) was fabricated and its electrochemical property was investigated as a function of temperature and the volume ratio of fuel and oxidant for SC-SOFCs. Impedance spectra were also investigated in order to figure out the electrical characteristics of the cell. As a result, the cell performance was governed by the polarization resistances of the electrodes. The cell exhibited an acceptable cell-performance of $86mW/cm^2$ at $800^{\circ}C$ and stable performance for 3 hs under 0.7 V.
