The effects of carbon-coated silicon anode on the electrochemical properties and structural change were investigated. The carbon-coated silicon powders have been prepared by thermal decomposition under argon/10wt% propylene mixed gas flow at $700^{\circ}C$. The surface and crystal structure of the synthesized materials were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. Lithium cells with electrodes made from the uncoated and the carbon coated silicon anode were assembled and tested. The carbon-coated silicon particles merged together well after the insertion/extraction of lithium ions, and showed a relatively low irreversible capacity compared with the uncoated silicon particle.

Fluorophosphate, $Na_2MnPO_4F$ as new cathode material was synthesized by carbothermal treatment method. Prepared $Na_2MnPO_4F$ has particle size under 100 nm and residual carbon exists in surface of $Na_2MnPO_4F$. Additional carbon coating was performed in order to increase the electrochemical properties. Even capacity and overpotential were improved by carbon coating using mechanical ball milling, the reduced crystallinity limited the drastic improvement of the electrochemical properties. To solve this problem, re-heat treatment was involved to recover crystallinity and then notable improvement of electrochemical properties was obtained. Specific amount of $Li^+$ that participates in electrochemical $Li^+$ insertion / extraction reaction, was x = 1 in $Li_xNa_{2-x}MnPO_4F$ within the voltage range of 2.0 to 4.8 V. The doubled capacity by 2 electron reaction can be obtained when NMPF is charged to higher voltage over 4.8 V.

바이오 폐기물의 활용도를 높이기 위해 오일 추출 및 KOH 활성화를 통해 제조된 커피 찌꺼기 기반 활성탄소를 이용하여 슈퍼커패시터 성능을 고찰하였다. 커피 찌꺼기에 오일 추출은 노말헥산 및 아이소프로필 알코올 용매를 사용한 용매 추출로 수행되었다. 오일 추출 후 KOH 활성화를 통해 제조된 AC_CG-Hexane/IPA는 오일 추출 없이 KOH 활성화로만 제조된 AC_CG보다 비표면적은 최대 16% 및 평균 기공 크기는 최대 2.54 nm로 증가되었다. 또한, 커피 찌꺼기의 오일 추출함에 따라 제조된 활성탄소의 pyrrolic/pyridinic N 작용기는 증가되었다. 순환전압전류법 측정 실험으로부터, 10 mV/s의 전압 주사 속도에서 AC_CG-Hexane/IPA의 비정전용량은 133 F/g으로, AC_CG (100 F/g)의 비정전용량에 비해 33% 향상된 값을 나타냈다. 그 결과 커피 찌꺼기의 오일 추출을 통한 성분 제거를 통하여 활성탄소의 메조기공의 크기 및 비표면적의 부피 향상과 pyrrolic/pyridinic N 작용기가 전기화학적 활성으로 전기전도도를 증가로 인한 시너지 효과로 향상된 전기화학적 특성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 바이오 폐기물인 커피 찌꺼기의 재활용 방법 및 적용에 대해 제시하였으며, 고성능 슈퍼커패시터의 전극 재료로 활용할 수 있는 효율적인 방법 중 하나라고 판단된다.

A study of the transition from transitory state to steady state in DSSCs based on natural dyes is presented; cochineal was used as dye and Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ were the ions added to the electrolyte. The photocurrent profiles were obtained as a function of time. Several DSSCs were prepared with different cations and their role and the transitory-to-steady transition was determined. A novel hybrid charge carrier source model based on the Heaviside function H(t) and the Lambert-Beer law, was developed and applied to analysis of the transient response of the output photocurrent. Additionally, the maximum effective light absorption coefficient α and the electronic extraction rate κ for each ion were determined: ${\alpha}_{Li^+,Na^+,K^+}\,=\,(0.486,\,0.00085,\,0.1126)\,cm^{-1}$, and also the electronic extraction rate ${\kappa}^{Li^+,Na^+,K^+}_{ext.}\,=\,(1410,\,19.07,\,19.69)\,cm\,s^{-1}$. The impedance model using Fick's second law was developed for carrier recombination to characterize the photocurrent.

The present study concerns the corrosion mitigation of electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) in concrete structure. Concrete specimen was fabricated with 5.0% chloride in cast, while the other specimen was exposed to 4.0M NaCl solution for 1 year to accelerate corrosion of steel. Then, the ECE was applied to the concrete specimen with 1000 mA/m² of the current density for 2, 4 and 8 weeks, respectively. During the ECE, the corrosion current density and corrosion potential were regularly monitored. As a result, the ECE was very effective in mitigating the degree of corrosion on the steel surface. The corrosion current density was significantly reduced from thousands to decades mA/m², while the corrosion potential was mostly shifted to positive direction. Assuming that the corrosion starts at 1.0 mA/m² of the corrosion current density or/and -275 mV vs SCE of the corrosion potential, the ECE could not fully achieve the repassivation of the steel, although its degree was lowered more or less depending on the duration of the treatment and type of chloride contamination. A visual examination confirmed that an increase in the duration of the treatment could lower the rust formation, but never fully removed all rust stains.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 중의 철근부식의 보수로 전기방식법을 적용할 경우의 탈염, 부식복원 및 구조거동을 효과적이고 정량적으로 평가하였다. $160{\times}160{\times}1000mm$의 콘크리트 시편을 제작하였으며 피복두께 20 mm의 원형철근 3본을 매립하였으며 콘크리트 타설 시 염소이온 5.0%를 혼입하여 철근부식을 가속한 뒤 전기방식을 인가하였다. 전기방식 전류는 직류 $750mA/m^2$를 2, 4, 8주간 인가하였다. 결과로서 탈염효과는 인가 기간에 따라 증가하였으며 최대 탈염비는 8주간의 인가 시 64.7-83.7%로 측정되었다. 이는 시멘트계에서 염소이온의 50-60%가 고정화됨을 고려할 때, 일정량의 고정화된 염소이온 역시 탈염된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 부식상태는 8주간의 전기방식 이후에도 $6.5mA/m^2$의 부식 전류 및 330 mV (vs. SCE)의 부식전위를 나타내 여전히 부식이 존재함을 확인하였다. 구조거동에 있어 부식의 증가로 인해 콘크리트의 최대하중은 증가하였으나, 전기방식을 적용함에 따라 오히려 최대하중은 감소하였으나 Control시편보다는 상회한 값을 나타내 전기방식이 구조적 악영향은 없음을 확인하였다.

Pollution of chloride ion-reinforced concrete can trigger active corrosion processes that reduce the useful life of structures. Multifunctional materials used as a counter-electrode by electrochemical techniques have been used to rehabilitate contaminated concrete. Cement-based pastes added to carbonaceous material, fibers or dust, have been used as an anode in the non-destructive Electrochemical Chloride Extraction (ECE) technique. We studied the performance of the addition of Carbon Fiber (CF) in a cement-graphite powder base paste used as an anode in ECE of concretes contaminated with chlorides from the preparation of the mixture. The experimental parameters were: 2.3% of free chlorides, 21 days of ECE application, a Carbon Fiber Volume Fraction (CFVF) of 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9%, a lithium borate alkaline electrolyte, a current density of $4.0A/m^2$ and a cement/graphite ratio of 1.0 for the paste. The efficiency of the ECE in the traditional technique using metal mesh as an anode was 77.6% and for CFVF of 0.9% it was 90.4%, with a tendency to increase to higher percentages of the CFVF in the conductive cement-graphite paste, keeping the pH stable and achieving a homogeneous ECE in the mass of the concrete contaminated with chlorides.

Online simulations are utilized to reduce time and cost in the development and performance optimization of plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and electric vehicles (EV) systems. One of the most important factors in an online simulation is the accuracy of the model. In particular, a model of a battery should accurately reflect the properties of an actual battery. However, precise dynamic modeling of high-capacity battery systems, which significantly affects the performance of a PHEV, is difficult because of its nonlinear electrochemical characteristics. In this study, a dynamic model of a high-capacity battery cell for a PHEV is developed through the extraction of the equivalent impedance parameters using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Based on the extracted parameters, a battery cell model is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink, and charging/discharging profiles are executed for comparative verification. Based on the obtained results, the model is optimized for a high-capacity battery cell for a PHEV. The simulation results show good agreement with the experimental results, thereby validating the developed model and verifying its accuracy.

Boron doped fullerene $C_{60}$ ($B:C_{60}$) films were prepared by the thermal evaporation of $C_{60}$ powder using argon plasma treatment. The morphology and structural characteristics of the thin films were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and x-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical application of the boron doped fullerene film as a coating layer for silicon anodes in lithium ion batteries was also investigated. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements were applied to the $B:C_{60}$ coated silicon electrodes at a scan rate of $0.05\;mVs^{-1}$. The CV results show that the $B:C_{60}$ coating layer act as a passivation layer with respect to the insertion and extraction of lithium ions into the silicon film electrode.
