A commercial PbO₂ mesh cylinder electrode was utilized as the anode for the electrochemical degradation of the textile effluent after the biological treatment with the titanium cylinder as the cathode in a self-made tube electrolyzer. The electrochemical performances of the PbO₂ electrode in tube electrolyzer under different initial pH, electrolyte flow rates, current densities and times of the electrochemical degradation were investigated. The experimental results illustrated that the PbO₂ electrode can reduce the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the textile effluent from 94.0 mg L^-1 to 65.0 mg L^-1 with the current efficiency of 88.3%, the energy consumption of 27.7 kWh kg^-1 (per kilogram of degraded COD) and the carbon emissions of 18.0 kg CO₂ kg^-1 (per kilogram of degraded COD) under the optimal operating conditions. In addition, the COD of the textile effluent could be reduced from 94.0 mg L^-1 to 22.0 mg L^-1 after the fifth electrochemical degradation. Therefore, PbO₂ mesh cylinder electrode in the tube cylinder was promising for the electrochemical degradation of the textile effluent.

멥쌀로 탁주를 제조하여 발효과정 중에 변화되는 에탄올 및 포도당의 함량을 동시에 측정할 수 있는 바이오센서를 dual cathode electrode를 이용하여 제작하였다. Alcohol oxidase와 glucose oxidase는 nylon net에 고정화시켜 anode가 한 개이고 cathode가 두 개인 dual cathode electrode에 부착하여 용존산소가 소모되는 변화량을 측정하여 간접적으로 포도당과 에탄올의 농도를 동시에 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 시스템의 최적 조건은 $35^{\circ}C$에서 pH 7.5인 0.1 M 인산 완충용액이었다. 바이오센서를 이용하여 측정한 값을 분광광도법과 gas chromatography를 이용한 값과 비교해 본 결과 유사한 것으로 나타났다. Dual cathode electrode를 이용한 바이오센서로 측정할 경우 다른 분석방법과 같은 복잡한 전처리 과정없이 두 가지 성분을 동시에 측정하는 것이 가능함으로써 신속하게 측정할 수 있었으며, 탁주와 같은 발효식품의 발효 중 변화하는 두 가지 성분을 동시에 측정할 수 있었다.

This paper is a study on the optimal microdroplet generation conditions in indirect charging electrostatic spraying. Unlike the direct charging method, which applies power to the nozzle, the indirect charging method applies power to the discharge electrode between the nozzle and the collection electrode. Therefore, an electrically simplified system can be obtained by minimizing the insulation part a stable spray pattern can be obtained with a wide spray angle, and a stable spray pattern can be obtained with a wide spray angle. To conduct the study, an indirect charging type electrostatic spray visualization system was constructed and the static characteristics of the microdroplets were analyzed through image processing of the spray shape of the microdroplets. The total number of microdroplets and the number of microdroplets per power consumption are confirmed according to the changes in the distance between the discharge electrode and the collection electrode, the flow rate, and the applied voltage, which affect the generation of microdroplets, and using this, the optimal generation conditions are derived and the corresponding microdroplet size distribution was analyzed. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the optimal generation condition was at a flow rate of 15 to 20 mL/min and a voltage of -22.5 to -25 kV in terms of the number of microdroplets, and at a flow rate of 15 to 20 mL/min and a voltage of -20 kV in terms of energy consumption efficiency.

We deviced a new graphite-Mn(II) electrode and found that the modified electrode with Mn(II) can catalyze NADH oxidation and $NAD^+$ reduction coupled to electricity production and consumption as oxidizing agent and reducing power, respectively. In fuel cell with graphite-Mn(II) anode and graphite-Fe(III) cathode, the electricity of 1.5 coulomb (A x s) was produced from NADH which was electrochemically reduced by the graphite-Mn(II) electrode. When the initial concentrations of pyruvate and acetaldehyde were adjusted to 40 mM and 200 mM, respectively, about 25 mM lactate and 35 mM ethanol were produced from 40 mM pyruvate and 200 mM acetaldehyde, respectively, by catalysis of ADH and LDH in the electrochemical reactor with $NAD^+$ as cofactor and electricity as reducing power. By using this new electrode with catalytic function, the bioelectrocatalysts are engineered; namely, oxidoreductase (e.g., lactate dehydrogenase) and $NAD^+$ can function for biotransformation without electron mediator and second oxidoreductase for $NAD^+$/NADH recycling.

We propose new driving schemes, asymmetry and long gap mode, of PDP having auxiliary electrode between scan and common electrode. For the asymmetric modes, the auxiliary electrode located nearly center of the primary electrodes is connected to the scan of common electrode during all periods of reset, address and sustain. For the long gap mode, it is electrically disconnected or maintained at dc voltage of Vs/2 during sustain period except the first several sustain pulses. The proposed structure and driving method can provide higher luminous efficacy by minimizing consumption energy. The effectiveness of the new driving schemes has been investigated for various Xe partial pressure conditions.

For safety and economy reasons, hazardous waste including radioactive waste is desired to be converted into stable waste forms with a maximum volume reduction. High temperature melting technology using a plasma torch system can effectively treat even the non-flammable waste as desired. By far, one of the most difficult process for melting the non-flammable waste is a tapping of melts because the melting point of a residual slag in the tapping hole is high and because the viscosity of the melt increases sharply when tapping out. In case of a stationary furnace with a slant tapping port on the side of furnace, a certain amount of melts is left in the tapping hole after tapping out. Because of this, at every end of a melting cycle, the tapping hole needs to be opened by tapping device. The developed tapping device of melts based on both a guide electrode and auxiliary electrode is adequate for the application to discharge of melts except that the consumption of the guide electrode is somewhat faster than expected. Melt is collected in the water cooled vessel.

Owing to the rapid climate change, a high-performance energy storage system (ESS) for efficient energy consumption has been receiving considerable attention. ESS, such as capacitors, usually has issues with the ion diffusion of electrode materials, resulting in a decrease in their capacitance. Notably, appropriate pore diameter and large specific surface area (SSA) may result in an effective ion diffusion. Therefore, graphene and multi-walled carbon nanotube (graphene@MWCNT) hybrid nanomaterials, with covalent bonds between the graphene and MWCNT, were prepared via an edge-chemistry reaction. The properties of these materials, such as high porosity, large SSA, and high electroconductivity, make them suitable to be used as electrode materials for capacitors. The optimal ratio of graphene to MWCNT can affect the electrochemical performance of the electrode material based on its physical and electrochemical properties. The supercapacitor using optimal graphene-based hybrid electrode material exhibited highest specific capacitance value as 158 F/g and excellent cycle stability.

본 논문에서는 높은 소멸비뿐만 아니라 낮은 파워 소모를 가지는 방향성 결합기 구조의 열광학 스위치를 설계하였다. 설계된 스위치는 전극의 열발생 유무에 따라 폴리머의 굴절률이 변하는 열광학 효과를 이용하여 동작한다. 전극에 파워가 인가되지 않으면(OFF), 입사된 빛은 반대쪽 도파로로 대부분 전이된다. 전극에 일정수준 이상으로 파워가 인가되면(ON), 입력 도파로로 입사된 빛은 반대쪽 도파로의 굴절률이 낮아져 입력 도파로로 진행한다. 방향성 결합기 스위치는 소멸비 일반화 곡선과 입력 도파로의 수평이동 방법을 이용하여 설계되었다. 결합길이는 1,610 ${\mu}m$, on과 off 상태의 소멸비는 각각 -28, -30 dB로 설계되었다. 또한, 본 논문에서 전극 구조는 열분석을 통해 최적화되었다. 전극의 폭(w)이 증가하고 전극과 도파로의 중심간격(d)이 감소할수록 도파로로 전달되는 열은 증가하였다. 전극에서 발생된 열은 반대쪽 도파로에도 영향을 주기 때문에 두 도파로간의 온도차이는 주어진 w와 d에 따라 변한다. 이때, 최대의 온도차이를 보이는 특정한 조건이 존재하였다. 최대 온도차이는 전극의 폭이 넓을수록, 전극의 온도가 높을수록 증가한다. 특히, 스위칭에 필요한 온도차이를 최대 온도차이 조건으로 설계하면 전극의 온도를 낮출 수 있다. 최대 온도차이 조건은 열광학 스위치의 파워소모를 감소시키는 방안이 될 것으로 기대된다.
