In this study, we fabricated Ag-based electrochemical metallization memory devices which is also called conductive-bridge random-access memory (CBRAM) in order to investigate the resistive switching behavior depending on the bottom electrode (BE). RRAM cells of two different layer configurations having $Ag/Si_3N_4/TiN$ and $Ag/Si_3N_4/p^+$ Si are studied for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and metal-insulator-silicon (MIS) structures, respectively. Switching voltages including forming/set/reset are lower for MIM than for MIS structure. It is found that the workfunction different affects the performances.

In this paper, viologen derivative is used as charge transfer material to develop sensors for detecting the organic pollutants which are the main reason of harbor pollution. We fabricated self-assembled monolayers of viologen derivative on gold electrode of QCM and investigated an electrochemical behavior property. We also determined electrochemical sensing property about environmental pollution materials such as bezene, phosphate and surfactant through quantitative and qualitative analysis of charge transfer using intrinsic property of viologen derivative by temperature and concentration change. From the achieved results, we can apply and develope the detecting sensors for harbor pollutants.

Carbons derived by the pyrolysis of Sorona activated by $ZnCl_2$ in the ratio of 1:20 and non-porogen Sorona carbons are used as the electrode materials in asymmetric electrochemical supercapacitors and electrochemical behavior is investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals the porogen free carbons show a flake-like structure and the $ZnCl_2$-treated Sorona carbons have a loose, disjoint structure without any particular shape. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) studies show specific prolate rectangular shape and gives good capacitive properties.

Cyclic sweep voltametry was performed to investigate the electrochemical behavior of heavy metal ions and the organic additives in surface finishing process. And electrolysis using parallel plate electrode electrolyzer was carried out to simulate the treatment of real waste water. Results showed that more than 99 percent of Cu was recovered and selective recovery of Cu in mixed waste water was possible, but the possibility of economical recovery of Ni and Cr were very low due to the evolution of hydrogen gas. Electrochemical oxidation of cyanide and organic additives on anode showed very excellent removal rate. The complete removal of several hundred ppm of cynide was possible within several tens minutes and organics within 2 or 3 hours. Even in case of concentrate waste water, the complete removal of COD by using NaCl and air stirring seemed to be possible.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to evaluate the anticorrosive properties of resin(alkyd, epoxy, urethane) and pigment(hydroxy apatite(HAp), zinc potassium chromate(ZPC). red lead(RL)). The corrosion behavior of coatings applied on steel has been investigated during exposure to 0.5M-NaCl The anticorrosive performances of resins were found to depend on their chemical nature and decreased in the order of urethane > epoxy > alkyd resin coating. Hydroxy apatite and zinc potassium chromate pigment which have property to passivate the substrate showed relatively high anticorrosive performance.

2-Iminopyrimidines (1a-e) and 2-thioxopyrimidine (2) were synthesized using the Biginelli three component cyclocondensation reaction of an appropriate $\beta$-diketone, arylaldehyde, and guanidine (for 1a-e) or thiourea (for 2). The electrochemical properties of the novel systems were investigated by CV and DPV. Moreover, B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method was applied to the present structures in order to gather some structural and physicochemical data.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) consist of oxidation semiconduction electrode, electrolyte and counter electrode. Among these, Pt as counter electrode of DSC plays a role in helping redox reaction of iodine ions in electrolyte, also, transferring electrons into electrolyte. In this case, it is expected that characteristics of Pt electrodes strongly depend on fabrication process and its surface condition. In this study, electrochemical behavior of the electro-plated Pt electrode was compared with that of the sputtered Pt electrode, using cyclic-voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy (PARSTATE 2273, by AMETEK). Surface morphology of Pt electrode was investigated by AFM (XE-100, by PSIA). As a result, it was considered that electrochemical properties of sputtered Pt electrode is superior to that of electro-plated Pt electrode.

In this paper, various electrochemical experiments were conducted in seawater solution to evaluate corrosion damage behavior of arc thermal sprayed Inconel 625 coating on SS400 steel in marine environment. As a result, corrosion damages of thermal sprayed Inconel 625 coating preferentially occurred at the defect area, and they were observed as a form of pitting corrosion in the galvanostatic experiments. In Tafel analysis, corrosion current density of Inconel 625 coating was relatively high due to influence of interconnected pores and Cr oxides in the thermal spray coating layer. On the other hand, the result of the potential measurement, thermal sprayed Inconel 625 coating should need the post-treatment which can compensate the defects like pores and cracks because Inconel 625 coating presented a higher potential of about 290 mV than that of the SS400 steel.

Cobalt oxide was composite with MWNT to attain cycle stable by chemical method. We have been considered CoOx is the ideal material for high energy density electrochemical capacitor due to pseudo capacitor reaction. In this study we found that decrease in resistance due to composite MWNT. Also CoOx/MWNT composite material have resulted larger capacitance and exhibits better electrochemical behavior. The structural feature was investigated by using SEM. The CoOx/MWNT composite is not only a promising ultracapacitor material for energy storages but also has a good possibility because of its great capacitive properties, simple preparation and low cost.

We synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubules by oxidative polymerization of the pyrrole monomer within the pores of a polycarbonate template. The electrochemical behavior was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The redox potential was about -0.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode, while the potential was about 0 V for PPy film. It is considered as the backbone grows according to the pore wall. Therefore, it is possible to be arranged regularly. That leads to improvement in the electron hopping. By electrochemical doping of glucose oxidase (GOx) on PPy nanotubules, an enzyme electrode has been fabricated. The kinetic parameter of biochemical reaction with glucose was evaluated. The formal Michaelis constant and maximum current calculated by computer were about 11.4 mmol $dm^3$ and 170.85 A respectively. Obviously, an affinity for the substrate and current response of the PPy nanotubules enzyme electrode are rather good, comparing with that of PPy film.
