흑연음극을 이용하여 LiCl-KCl공융염내에서 금속우라늄의 전해정련을 수행하였다. Uraniurn-Graphite Intercalation Compound(U-GIC)의 형성에 의하여 우라늄 전착물의 sell-scraping이 일어나며 전해정련에서 stripping과정을 생략함으로서 전해효율을 높일 수 있다. 우라늄 전착물내의 희토류 원소 오염은 무시할 만 하였으나 약 300ppm정도의 탄소가 오염되어 있는 것으로 관찰되었다. 탄소 오염은 이트륨을 이용한 정제공정 등을 거칠 경우 제거 가능하리라 사료된다. 회수된 우라늄 전착물의 조직 특성을 분석하였으며, 스틸 음극에 의해 회수된 전착물과 비교하였다. 이 결과는 초기 실험결과 이며 보다 심층적 연구를 통하여 사용 후 금속핵연료의 전해정련 개념을 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

리튬이온전지의 양극 전자전도도를 향상시키기 위하여 탄소제를 첨가할 때 기존의 혼합법과는 다르게 abrasive milling에 의하여 $LiCoO_2$ 양극 활물질에 흑연을 균일하게 분산시켜서 충방전시 용량감소를 줄이고자 하였다. 밀링 조건은 300 rpm, 10min으로 하였으며, 흑연 농도는 전기 전도성 향상과 용량의 관계를 고려해 볼 때, 1 wt% 경우가 가장 우수한 전극특성을 보여주었다. Abrasion법은 기존 혼합법에 비하여 10% 이상 capacity retention의 향상을 가져올 수 있었으며, 비가역적인 용량에 있어서도 초기 방전 용량의 효율도 높아 비가역 용량이 감소되는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이는 첨가한 흑연이 균일하게 혼합되고 일부는 $LiCoO_2$ 표면에 코팅되어 전자전도도를 향상시키고 산화물인 활물질의 용해를 억제하기 때문으로 생각된다.

The carbon-coated Si/Cu powder has been prepared by mechanical ball milling and hydrocarbon gas decomposition methods. The phase of Si/Cu powder was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), dispersive Raman spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The carbon-coated Si/Cu powders were used as anode active material for lithium-ion batteries. Their electrochemical properties were investigated by charge/discharge test using commercial LiCo$O_2$ cathode and lithium foil electrode, respectively. The surface phase of Si/Cu powders consisted of carbon phase like the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a spacing layer of 0.35 nm. The carbon-coated Si/Cu/graphite composite anode exhibited a higher capacity than commercial graphite anode. However, the cyclic efficiency and the capacity retention of the composite anode were lower compared with graphite anode as cycling proceeds. This effect may be attributed to some mass limitations in LiCo$O_2$ cathode materials during the cycling.

Ag-deposited graphite powder was prepared by a chemical reduction method of metal particles onto graphite powder. X-ray diffraction observation of Ag-deposited graphite powder revealed that silver existed in a metallic state, but not in an oxidized one. From SEM measurement, ultrafine silver particles were highly dispersed on the surface of graphite particles. Cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery was manufactured using Ag-deposited graphite anodes and $LiCoO_2$ cathodes. The cycleability of lithium ion secondary battery using Ag-deposited graphite anodes was superior to that of original graphite powder. The improved cycleability may be due to both the reduction of electric resistance between electrodes and the highly durable Ag-graphite anode.

Lithium Ion capacitor (LIC) is a new storage device which combines high power density and high energy density compared to conventional supercapacitors. LIC is capable of storing approximately 5.10 times more energy than conventional EDLCs and also have the benefits of high power and long cycle-life. In this study, LICs are assembled with activated carbon (AC) cathode and pre-doped graphite anode. Cathode material of natural graphite and artificial graphite kinds of MAGE-E3 was selected as the experiment proceeds. Super-P as a conductive agent and PTFE was used as binder, with the graphite: conductive agent: binder of 85: 10: 5 ratio of the negative electrode was prepared. Lithium doping condition of current density of $2mA/cm^2$ to $1mA/cm^2$, and was conducted by varying the doping. Results Analysis of Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometer (ICP) was used and a $1mA/cm^2$ current density, $2mA/cm^2$, when more than 1.5% of lithium ions was confirmed that contained. In addition, lithium ion doping to 0.005 V at 10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$ temperature varying the voltage variation was confirmed, $20^{\circ}C$ cell from the low internal resistance of $4.9{\Omega}$ was confirmed.

New Ag-deposited graphite anodes were developed using wet chemical reduction methods for depositing Ag metal onto graphite particles. In this paper, we investigated X-ray diffraction pattern and charge-discharge behavior for Ag-deposited graphite anode. The Lithium ion cello using Ag-deposited graphite anode showed a high average discharge voltage of 3.6∼3.W and a excellent cycle ability than that of conventional graphite. Little capacity loss in this battery may be due to the highly durable Ag-deposited graphite anodes.

The characteristics of power generation were investigated by changing the electrical conductivity from 10 to 40mS/cm using air-cathode microbial fuel cell, which had graphite fiber fabric(GFF) anode. There were three kinds of cathode used: one was carbon cloth cathode coated with Pt, another was carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode with non-precious catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn, and the other was carbon nanotube(CNT) cathode without any catalyst. When it was operated in batch mode, power density of 1369.5mW/$m^2$ was achieved at conductivity of 20mS/cm. Power density from MFC with CNT cathode coated with multi-catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn was shown about 985.55mW/$m^2$, which was 75.1% compared the power density of carbon cloth coated with Pt. This meant that CNT cathode coated with multi-catalyst of Fe-Cu-Mn could be an alternative of carbon cloth cathode.

The demands to improve the performance of the vanadium redox flow battery have attracted an intense research on modifying the carbon-based electrode. In this study, the surface of graphite felt was reformed, using cobalt oxide. The cobalt oxide was implanted into graphite felt during hydrothermal and two step heat treatments. The cobalt was deposited by hydrothermal method and the two step heat treatments made lots of holes on the graphite felt surface which is called as porous surface. The porous surface acts as an electrochemically active site for the cathodic reaction of vanadium redox flow battery. The reformed electrode shows the electrochemically improved performance compared with the pristine electrode.

촉매 코팅하지 않은 탄소전극(graphite felt)을 이용한 미생물연료전지에서 전력 오버슈트 현상이 발생하였으며 환원전위의 손실이 대부분의 전압 감소 원인으로 파악되었다. 이를 해결하고자 백금-탄소 촉매 코팅한 탄소전극과 싸고 고전도성을 지닌 스테인리스강 수세미 전극을 사용하여 전력 오버슈트 현상 극복과 전압손실에 대한 분석을 하였다. 백금-탄소 촉매 코팅한 탄소전극을 환원전극으로 이용한 미생물연료전지에서는 여전히 전력오버슈트가 발생하였지만 스테인리스강 수세미 전극에서는 낮은 환원용액 공급유속에서도 전력 오버슈트가 발생하지 않았으며 29% 가량의 증가된 최대전력밀도 값($23.9A/m^3$)을 얻을 수 있었다. 탄소전극을 사용한 미생물연료전지의 전력 오버슈트는 환원용액의 유입유속을 증가시킴에 따라 해결할 수 있었다. 또한 탄소전극과 스테인리스강 수세미 전극을 이용한 미생물연료전지 모두 유속 증가에 따라 최대전력밀도 값과 최대전류밀도 값이 2-3.5배 가량 증가하였다. 유입유속 증가에 따른 전압손실을 분석한 결과 활성도 손실, 저항 손실, 물질전달 손실 모든 구간에서 미생물연료전지의 환원전위 손실이 감소하였다. 이에 따라 스테인리스강 수세미는 경제성 있고 전력오버슈트 현상을 예방하는 미생물연료전지의 환원전극으로써 좋은 재료이며 만약 환원전극 문제로 인해 전력 오버슈트 현상이 발생한다면 환원조 내부 유동을 증가시키는 것이 이를 해결할 수 있는 좋은 방법이라 판단된다.

To increase electrolysis performance, the applicability of seawater to the iron-fed electro-Fenton process was considered. Three kinds of graphite electrodes (activated carbon fiber-ACF, carbon felt, graphite) and dimensionally stable anode (DSA) electrode were used to select a cathode having excellent hydrogen peroxide generation and organic decomposition ability. The concentration of hydrogen peroxide produced by ACF was 11.2 mg/L and those of DSA, graphite, and carbon felt cathodes were 12.9 ~ 13.9 mg/L. In consideration of durability, the DSA electrode was selected as the cathode. The optimum current density was found to be 0.11 A/㎠, the optimal Fe²⁺ dose was 10 mg/L, and the optimal ratio of Fe²⁺ dose and hydrogen peroxide was determined to be 1:1. The optimum air supply for hydrogen peroxide production and Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation was determined to be 1 L/min. The electro-Fenton process of adding iron salt to the electrolysis reaction may be shown to be more advantageous for RhB degradation than when using iron electrode to produce hydrogen peroxide and iron ion, or electro-Fenton reaction with DSA electrode after generating iron ions using an iron electrode.
