본 연구에서는 CoPtP합금에 첨가원소로 Fe, Mn을 첨가하여 그에 따른 자기적 성질을 제어하고자 하였다. 우선 합금을 합성하기 위해서 용액 중 Fe, Mn의 농도를 변화시키면서 전기도금 방식을 이용하여 CoPtP-X (X=Fe, Mn) 합금을 제조하였다 Fe를 첨가한 합금박막에서는 X선 회절분석 견과 Fe함량이 증가함에 따라 CoPtP합금의 수직방향으로의 우선결정방향이 조밀육방정 [001]방향에서 [100] 방향으로 변화함을 관찰하였고, 이에 따라 결정 자기이방성이 변화하여 전형적인 경자성 특성에서 연자성 특성까지 자기적 특성을 제어할 수 있었다. 용액 중 첨가된 망간의 농도를 변화시켜 제조된 CopPtP-Mn 합금박막에서는 Mn의 농도가 0.0126M일 때 보자력(coercivity)과 각형비(squareness, Mr/Ms)가 각각 4630 Oe, 0.856의 매우 우수한 자기적 성질을 나타내었으며, 이는 Mn의 특정농도에서 CoPtP 합금박막의 우선결정 성장방향인 조밀육방정 c축이 박막면에 대하여 수직하게 놓이는 현상에서 기인된다는 것을 투과전자현미경 분석을 통해 확인하였다.

본 연구그룹에서는 투명 전도성 기판이 필요 없는 광감응형 전기변색 소자를 개발하였다. 이전의 연구에서 백금 촉매 적용에 의한 빠른 착색 및 탈색을 확인하였고, 저온소성형 WO₃졸과 TiO₂ 졸을 적용하여 플렉시블 필름형 소자를 구현하였으나, 이러한 소자가 4~5 시간 동안 태양광에 노출될 경우 과착색 되어 암막상태에서도 탈색이 되지 않는 현상을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 과착색 현상을 해결하기 위하여 광감응형 전기변색 소자의 전해질에(4-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPOL)을 첨가하였다. TEMPOL을 첨가제로 사용한 광감응형 전기변색 소자의 경우 4시간 이상 햇빛에 노출되어도 과착색이 되지 않고, 가역성이 크게 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 다양한 농도의 TEMPOL을 적용하여 가시광 투과율 변화 및 착/탈색 속도를 비교하였고, 에너지 레벨 관점에서 가능한 TEMPOL의 과착색 방지 메커니즘을 제시하였다.

A battery based on the lithium/elemental sulfur redox couple has the advantage of high theoretical specific capacity of 1,675 mAh/g-sulfur. However, Li/S battery has bad cyclic durability at room temperature due to sulfur active material loss resulting from lithium polysulfide dissolution. To improve the cycle life of Li/S battery, PEGDME (Poly(ethylene glycol) dimethyl ether) 500 containing 1M LiTFSI salt which has high viscosity was used as electrolyte to retard the polysulfide dissolution and nano-sized $Mg_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}O$ was added to sulfur cathode as additive to adsorb soluble polysulfide within sulfur cathode. From experimental results, the improvement of the capacity and cycle life of Li/S battery was observed( maximum discharge capacity : 1,185 mAh/g-sulfur, C50/C1 = 85 % ). Through the charge-discharge test, we knew that PEGDME 500 played a role of preventing incomplete charge-discharge $behavior^{1,2)$. And then, in sulfur dissolution analysis and rate capability test, we first confirmed that nano-sized $Mg_{0.6}Ni_{0.4}O$ had polysulfide adsorbing effect and catalytic effect of promoting the Li/S redox reaction. In addition, from BET surface area analysis, we also verified that it played the part of increasing the porosity of sulfur cathode.

Si계 음극소재는 리튬 삽입-탈착 중 일어나는 큰 구조적 부피변화와 입도변화로 인해 빠른 성능 퇴화가 일어나는 단점이 있다. 산화물 SiO 음극소재는 리튬과의 반응 중 비활성상인 $Li_2O$ 및 lithium silicate가 형성되어 Si의 부피변화를 완화시키는 버퍼 역할을 하므로 용량은 Si보다 적으나 개선된 용량 유지 특성을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 Si의 부피변화 완화를 위하여 저가의 $SiO_2$와 입자간 전기전도성을 향상시키는 흑연을 구조안정화 기재로서 사용하여 Si-$SiO_2$-흑연 복합재 음극을 제작하였다. 구조안정화 뿐만 아니라 silane계 전해액 첨가제를 이용하여 Si-$SiO_2$-흑연 복합재 음극과 전해액간 계면을 안정화시킴으로써 용량 유지 특성이 개선되는 효과에 대해 보고하고자 한다.

The micro emulsion method has been successfully used for preparing perovskite LaCoO₃ with uniform, fine-shaped nanoparticles showing high activity as electro catalysts in oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs). They are, therefore, promising candidates for the air-cathode in metal-air rechargeable batteries. Since the activity of a catalyst is highly dependent on its specific surface area, nanoparticles of the perovskite catalyst are desirable for catalyzing both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. Herein, LaCoO₃ powder was also prepared by sol-gel method for comparison, with a broad particle distribution and high agglomeration. The electro catalytic properties of LaCoO₃ and LaCoO₃-carbon Super P mixture layers toward the ORR were studied comparatively using the rotating disk electrode technique in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte to elucidate the effect of carbon Super P. Koutecky-Levich theory was applied to acquire the overall electron transfer number (n) during the ORR, calculated to be ~3.74 for the LaCoO₃-Super P mixture, quite close to the theoretical value (4.0), and ~2.7 for carbon-free LaCoO₃. A synergistic effect toward the ORR is observed when carbon is present in the LaCoO₃ layer. Carbon is assumed to be more than an additive, enhancing the electronic conductivity of the oxide catalyst. It is suggested that ORRs, catalyzed by the LaCoO₃-Super P mixture, are dominated by a 2+2-electron transfer pathway to form the final, hydroxyl ion product.

SnS films have been prepared by electrodeposition technique onto Cu and ITO substrates using acidic solutions containing tin chloride and sodium thiosulfate with sodium citrate as an additive. The effects of sodium citrate on the electrochemical behavior of electrolyte bath containing tin chloride and sodium thiosulfate were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques. Deposited films were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, optical, photoelectrochemical, and electrical measurements. XRD data showed that deposited SnS with sodium citrate on both substrates were polycrystalline with orthorhombic structures and preferential orientations along (111) directions. However, SnS films with sodium citrate on Cu substrate exhibited a good crystalline structure if compared with that deposited on ITO substrates. FTIR results confirmed the presence of SnS films at peaks 1384 and $560cm^{-1}$. SEM images revealed that SnS with sodium citrate on Cu substrate are well covered with a smooth and uniform surface morphology than deposited on ITO substrate. The direct band gap of the films is about 1.3 eV. p-type semiconductor conduction of SnS was confirmed by photoelectrochemical and Hall Effect measurements. Electrical properties of SnS films showed a low electrical resistivity of $30{\Omega}cm$, carrier concentration of $2.6{\times}10^{15}cm^{-3}$ and mobility of $80cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$.

결합제인 coal tar pitch와 petroleum cokes를 주원료로 결합제 함량을 변화시켜 불소 전해용 탄소 전극을 제조한 후 결합제 함량의 변화가 전극특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 탄소 전극의 특성 조사는 1mM의 $[Fe$(CN)_6$]^{3-}$/$[Fe$(CN)_6$]^{4-}$가 첨가된 0.5M $K_2SO_4$용액에서의 cyclic voltammogram 거동, 기계적 강도, 그리고 $KF{\cdot}2HF$ 용액에서의 전기화학적 거동을 통하여 평가되었으며 이 결과 40 wt%의 결합제가 첨가된 경우 제일 양호한 전기특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 양호한 전극특성은 탄소전극 표면에 생성된 기공이 적절하게 분포하여 실질적으로 전극의 비표면적을 향상시켰기 때문이다.

Yttria-stabilized zirconia with erbia-lanthana were investigated with respect to the amount of Ln2O3 (Ln; Er, La) addition in the range of 0.5∼5 mol% to the base composition of 8 mol% yttriazirconia. Following analysis and measurement were adopted for the characterization of synthesizes of solid electrolyte; phase transformation, lattice parameter, crystallite size, relative density, chemical composition and SEM/EDS. Electrical conductivity by two-probe method versus temperature from 350$^{\circ}C$ to 800$^{\circ}C$ and frequency in the range of 5Hz∼13MHz by complex impedance method was also conducted together with the determination of oxygen ion transference number by EMF method for the evaluation of their electrical properties. The results were as followsing; Electrical conductivity were decreased with increase in Ln2O3 content, but their activation energies increased. In the case of La2O3 addition, espicially, its electrical conductivity was decreased owing to the segregation of second phases at the grain-boundary. Grain-boundary conductivity of the specimen contained 0.5 mol% Er2O3 exhibited a maximum conductivity among thecompositions experimented. However, their bulk conductivities decreased in both case. Oxygen ion transference number was also reduced with decrease in oxygen partial pressure. For example, in the case of Er2O3 addition it retained value in the range of 0.97∼0.94 abvove 4.74${\times}$10-2in oxygen partial pressure. With the increase in the quantities of the evaporation of additive components, the crystallite size of stabilized zirconia decreased, and their relative density also reduced owing to the formation of porosity in their matrices. In the case of La2O3 the sinterbility was improved in the limited amount of addition up to 0.5 mol%, in the same range of addition the strength of sintered bodies were improved perhaps owing to the precipitation of metastable tetragonal phase in the fully stabilized zirconia.

To modify the physical properties of Cu thin films, gelatin is generally used as an additive. In this study, we assessed the effect of gelatin on the mechanical properties of electrodeposited Cu films. For this purpose, Cu/gelatin composite films were fabricated by adding 100 ppm of gelatin to an electrolyte, and tension and indentation tests were then performed. Additional tests based on pure Cu films were also performed for comparison. The Cu films containing gelatin presented a smaller grain size compared to that of pure Cu films. This increased the hardness of the Cu films, but addition of gelatin did not significantly affect the elastic modulus of the films. Cu films prepared at room temperature showed no significant change in the yield strength and tensile strength with an addition of gelatin, but we observed a dramatic decrease in the elongation. In contrast, Cu films prepared at $40^{\circ}C$ with gelatin presented a significant increase in the yield strength and tensile strength after the addition of gelatin. Elongation was not affected by adding gelatin. Presumably, the results would be closely related to the preferred orientation of the Cu thin film with the addition of gelatin and at temperatures that lead to a change in the microstructure of the Cu thin films.

본 연구에서는, 양쪽이온성 계면활성제가 구리전해도금에 미치는 영향을 cyclic voltammetry를 이용해 분석해보았다. 대표적인 양쪽이온성 계면활성제인(dodecyldimethylammonio)propanesulfonate (DDAPS)를 전해도금액에 첨가할 경우, Cu²⁺의 환원반응이 억제되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 억제 효과는 음이온성 계면활성제가 아닌 양이온성 계면활성제와 유사한 특성에 해당한다. 뿐만 아니라, DDAPS는 염소이온과 상호작용을 나타내었고, 억제효과가 물질전달 조건에 따라 변화하는 특성을 가지고 있었으며, 구리도금막의 거칠기 또한 미약하게 감소시켰다. 이러한 특성은, 양이온성 계면활성제의 특성과 유사하나 다소 약화된 모습이었으며, 이를 통해 DDAPS의 작용은 양전하의 친수성 머리에 의해 주도되며, 이 양전하는 음전하 친수성 머리에 의해 shielding 되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
