[ $Mg_2Ni$ ] 합금 및 $Mg_2Ni$와 카본 혼합물 입자의 수소저장 특성에 대한 기계적 분쇄(MG, Mechanical Grinding) 처리 효과를 고온 가스상의 PCT 측정 및 전기화학적인 마이크로 전극 측정법 등에 의해 검토되었다. PCT 측정은 약 $300[^{\circ}C]$의 고온에서 실시되었으며 전기화학적인 실험은 카본-섬유로 구성된 마이크로 전극을 1M KOH 수용액 속에서 조정자를 사용하여 MG 처리한 합금 단일입자에 접촉시켰다. 그 결과 $Mg_2Ni$ 합금과 카본 혼합물 입자의 경우 가스상에서 수소 해리압이 감소하고 상온에서 전기화학적인 수소화 특성이 크게 개선되었다. 이것은 기계적 분쇄(MG) 작용에 의한 합금의 미세화 및 나노화에 기인한다고 판단된다. 즉 고온 가스상의 PCT 측정 결과 수소 해리압이 MG 처리에 의해 0.55[MPa]에서 0.42[MPa]로 감소하였으며 동일 샘플 입자에 대해 마이크로 전극에 의한 평가에서도 수소화 피크가 보다 분명하게 관찰되었다.

The hydrogen($H_2$) is promising energy carrier of renewable energy in the microgrid system such as small village and military base due to its high energy density, pure emission and convenient transportation. $H_2$ can be generated by photocatalytic water splitting, gasification of biomass and water electrolysis driven by solar cell or wind turbine. Solid oxide electrolysis cells(SOECs) are the most efficient way to mass production due to high operating temperature improving the electrode kinetics and reducing the electrolyte resistance. The SOECs are consist of nickel-yttria stabilized zirconia(NiO-YSZ) fuel electrode / YSZ electrolyte / lanthanum strontium manganite-YSZ(LSM-YSZ) air electrode due to similarity to Solid Oxide Fuel Cells(SOFCs). The Ni-YSZ most widely used fuel electrode shows several problems at SOEC mode such as degradation of the fuel electrode because of Ni particle's redox reaction and agglomeration. Therefore Ni-YSZ need to be replaced to an alternative fuel electrode material. In this study, We studied on the Double perovskite $PrBrMnO_{5+{\delta}}$(PBMO) due to its high electric conductivity, catalytic activity and electrochemical stability. PBMO was impregnated into the scaffold electrolyte $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Ga_{0.85}Mg_{0.15}O_{3-{\delta}}$(LSGM) to be synthesized at low temperature for avoiding secondary phase generated when it exposed to high temperature. The Half cell test was conducted at SOECs and SOFCs modes.

We compared the plausible reaction mechanism and quantitative efficiency of highly self-organized TiO₂ nanotube (ntTiO₂) film with TiO₂ powder. Film was fabricated by electrochemical potentiostatic anodization of titanium thin film in an ethylene-glycol electrolyte solution containing 0.3 wt% NH₄F and 2 vol% deionized water. Nanotubes with a pore size of 80-100 nm were formed by anodization at 60 V for 3 h. Humic acid (HA) was degraded through photocatalytic degradation using the ntTiO₂ film. Pseudo first-order rate constants for 0.3 g of ntTiO₂, 0.3 g TiO₂ powder, and 1 g TiO₂ powder were 0.081 min⁻¹, 0.003 min⁻¹, and 0.044 min⁻¹, respectively. HA adsorption on the ntTiO₂ film was minimal while adsorption on the TiO₂ powder was about 20% based on thermogravimetric analysis. Approximately five-fold more normalized OH radicals were generated by the ntTiO₂ film than the TiO₂ powder. These quantitative findings explain why ntTiO₂ film showed superior photocatalytic performance to TiO₂ powder.

이온전도도가 높으며 균일하고 또 기계적 강도와 전기화학적 안정성이 우수한 전해질막을 얻기 위하여 poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) 공중합체를 전해질의 지지체로 선택하고, LiClO$_4$ 염이 포함된 ethylene carbonate (EC)와 ${\gamma}$-butyrolactone (GBL)의 흔합용매를 사용하여 겔-전해질을 제조하였다. 다양한 조성의 겔-전해질에 대하여 이온전도도, 열분석 및 선형주사전위 실험을 수행하였다. 이온전도도는 30PVdF-HFP+7.8LiClO$_4$+62.2EC/GBL 전해질막에서 3.8$\times$$10^{-3}$ S$cm^{-1}$ /로 가장 높았다. 열분석 결과에서 대부분의 시료는 대략 10$0^{\circ}C$ 정도까지는 안정하였으며, 특히 염은 고분자 사슬과 민감하게 반응하여 PVdF 결정질의 고온용융점을 낮추는 건을 확인하였다. 리튬 금속과 전해질 사이의 부식에 의해 생성된 부동태막에 의해 계면저항이 시간에 따라 계속적으로 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며, anodic stability는 대략 4.5 V vs. Li까지 안정한 것으로 측정되었다.

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an innovative environmental and energy system that converts organic wastewater into electrical energy. For practical implementation of MFC as a wastewater treatment process, a number of limitations need to be overcome. Improving cathodic performance is one of major challenges, and introduction of a current collector can be an easy and practical solution. In this study, three types of current collectors made of stainless steel (SS) were tested in a single-chamber cubic MFC. The three current collectors had different contact areas to the cathode (P $1.0cm^2$; PC $4.3cm^2$; PM $6.5cm^2$) and increasing the contacting area enhanced the power and current generations and coulombic and energy recoveries by mainly decreasing cathodic charge transfer impedance. Application of the SS mesh to the cathode (PM) improved maximum power density, optimum current density and maximum current density by 8.8%, 3.6% and 6.7%, respectively, comparing with P of no SS mesh. The SS mesh decreased cathodic polarization resistance by up to 16%, and cathodic charge transfer impedance by up to 39%, possibly because the SS mesh enhanced electron transport and oxygen reduction reaction. However, application of the SS mesh had little effect on ohmic impedance.

본 연구에서는 HT-PEMFC 공기극용 Pt계열 연료극 촉매의 인산이온 피독 특성에 대한 새로운 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여, 기존의 전기화학적 인산이온 피독 측정법인 CV와 ORR RDE 측정법이 갖고 있는 문제점을 저감하기 위하여, 과산화수소를 Pt 촉매와의 반응물로 이용하여 고농도 인산 이온 분위기에서의 내피독성 측정값 오차를 감소시켰다. 그 결과 인산이온 농도 0.1 M 이하의 저농도와 0.5 M 이상의 고농도에서 인산농도 대비 전류밀도의 변화가 직선적으로 나타나, 실제 HT-PEMFC의 구동 환경과 유사한 고농도의 인산이온 분위기에서의 Pt계 인산이온 피독 정량화에 대하여 기존의 측정방법에 비해 우수함을 확인하였다.

We proposed an MEA development methodology that accurately measures intrinsic MEA performance while considering the uneven reaction environments formed inside a large-area BP. To facilitate measurement of the inherent MEA performance, we miniaturized the active area of the MEA to 3 cm², and prepared two MEAs with different ionomer contents of 0.65 and 0.80 (I/C). By simulating the operating conditions of a 100 cm² BP at the inlet (I), center (C), and outlet (O), the oxygen concentration and relative humidity were determined to be 20.7, 13.8, 11.7%, and 50, 66.1, and 70.1% respectively. We measured the performance and electrochemical analysis of the prepared MEAs under the three simulated conditions. Based on the results of statistical analysis of the evaluated MEA performance data, I/C 0.65 MEA had a higher average performance and lower performance deviation than I/C 0.80 MEA. Hence, it can be concluded that an I/C 0.65 MEA is a more effective MEA for large-area BP. Based on the above research process, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed MEA development methodology.

The production of hydrogen via water electrolysis (i.e., green hydrogen) using renewable energy is key to the development of a sustainable society. However, most current electrocatalysts are based on expensive precious metals and require the use of highly purified water in the electrolyte. We demonstrated the preparation of a non-precious metal catalyst based on CuCo₂O₄ (CCO) via simple electrodeposition. Further, an optimization process for electrodeposition potential, solution concentration and electrodeposition method was develop for a catalyst-substrate integrated electrode, which indicated the highly electrocatalytic performance of the material in electrochemical tests and when applied to an anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer.

The capacity of high nickel Li(Ni_xCo_yMn_1-x-y)O₂ (NCM, x ≥ 0.8) cathodes is known to rapidly decline, a serious problem that needs to be solved in a timely manner. It was reported that cathode materials with the {010} plane exposed toward the outside, i.e., a radial structure, can provide facile Li⁺ diffusion paths and stress buffer during repeated cycles. In addition, cathodes with a core-shell composition gradient are of great interest. For example, a stable surface structure can be achieved using relatively low nickel content on the surface. In this study, precursors of the high-nickel NCM were synthesized by coprecipitation in ambient atmosphere. Then, a transition metal solution for coprecipitation was replaced with a low nickel content and the coprecipitation reaction proceeded for the desired time. The electrochemical analysis of the core-shell cathode showed a capacity retention of 94 % after 100 cycles, compared to the initial discharge capacity of 184.74 mA h/g. The rate capability test also confirmed that the core-shell cathode had enhanced kinetics during charging and discharging at 1 A/g.
