Hydrogen evolution on a steel surface and subsequent hydrogen diffusion into the steel matrix are evaluated using an electrochemical permeation test with no applied cathodic current on the hydrogen charging side. In particular, cyclic operation in the permeation test is also conducted to clarify the corrosion-induced hydrogen evolution behavior. In contrast to the conventional perception that the cathodic reduction reaction on the steel in neutral aqueous environments is an oxygen reduction reaction, this study demonstrates that atomic hydrogen may be generated on the steel surface by the corrosion reaction, even in a neutral environment. Although a much lower permeation current density and significant slower diffusion kinetics of hydrogen are observed compared to the results measured in acidic environments, they contribute to the increase in the embrittlement index. This study suggests that the research on hydrogen embrittlement in ultra-strong steels should be approached from the viewpoint of corrosion reactions on the steel surface and subsequent hydrogen evolution/diffusion behavior.

Hydrogen permeation through dense palladium-based membranes has attracted the attention of many scientists largely due to their unmatched potential as hydrogen-selective membranes for membrane reactor applications. Although it is well known that the permeation mechanism of hydrogen through Pd involves various processes such as dissociative adsorption, transitions to and from the bulk Pd, diffusion within Pd, and recombinative desorption, it is still unclear which process mainly limits hydrogen permeation at a given temperature and hydrogen partial pressure. In this study, we report an all-electron density-functional theory study of hydrogen permeation through Pd membrane (using VASP code). Especially, we focus on the variation of the energy barrier of the penetration process from the surface to the bulk with hydrogen coverage, which means the large reduction of the fracture stress in the brittle crack propagation considering Griffith's criterion. It is also found that the penetration energy barrier from the surface to the bulk largely decreases so that it almost vanishes at the coverage 1.25, which means that the penetration process cannot be the rate determining process.

In this study, a new simplified technology for fabricating high density trench gate DMOSFETs using only three mask layers and TEOS/nitride spacer is proposed. Due to the reduced masking steps and self-aligned process, this technique can afford to fabricate DMOSFETs with high cell density up to 100 Mcell/inch$^2$ and cost-effective production. The resulting unit cell pitch was 2.3∼2.4${\mu}$m. The fabricated device exhibited a excellent specific on-resistance characteristic of 0.36m$\Omega$. cm$^2$ with a breakdown voltage of 42V. Moreover, time to breakdown of gate oxide was remarkably increased by the hydrogen annealing after trench etching.

Cylinder shaped air-breathing PEMFC has been developed to have small volume, low contact resistance and better air accessibility to the open cathode. This cylinder shaped design consists of an anode cylinder with helical flow channel and a cathode current collector with slits. The pressure distribution measurement according to the shapes was performed. The test result indicated that cylinder shaped fuel cell has better pressure distribution compared with the planar shaped fuel cell. The better pressure distribution was connected to the higher performance. The maximum power density of cylinder shaped fuel cell was about 20% higher than the planar shaped fuel cell. The maximum power density of the developed cylinder shaped air-breathing PEMFC with dry hydrogen was $220\;mW/cm^2$ and with humidified hydrogen was $293\;mW/cm^2$.

The hydrogen behavior in a nuclear containment vessel is a significant issue when discussing the potential of hydrogen combustion during a severe accident. After the Fukushima-Daiichi accident in Japan, we have investigated in-depth the hydrogen transport mechanisms by utilizing experimental and numerical approaches. Computational fluid dynamics is a powerful tool for better understanding the transport behavior of gas mixtures, including hydrogen. This paper describes a Large-eddy simulation of gas mixing driven by a high-buoyancy flow. We focused on the interaction behavior of heat and mass transfers driven by the horizontal high-buoyant flow during density stratification. For validation, the experimental data of the Containment InteGral effects Measurement Apparatus (CIGMA) facility were used. With a high-power heater for the gas-injection line in the CIGMA facility, a high-temperature flow of approximately 390 ℃ was injected into the test vessel. By using the CIGMA facility, we can extend the experimental data to the high-temperature region. The phenomenological discussion in this paper helps understand the heat and mass transfer induced by the high-buoyancy flow in the containment vessel during a severe accident.

The performance of all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) was tested with an increase of the current density. APS membrane (anion exchange membrane) and GF050CH (cabon felt) were used as a separator and electrode, respectively. An average energy efficiency of the VRFB was 79.5%, 68.1%, and 62.8% for the current density of $60mA/cm^2$, $120mA/cm^2$, and $160mA/cm^2$, respectively. It was confirmed that VRFB can be used as a energy storage system at the higher current density even if the energy efficiency was deceased about 21%.

Phenol-$(H_2O)_2$ 착물의 여기상태 수소 결합 동력학을 시간 의존 밀도 함수 이론(TDDFT) 법으로 연구하였다. 수소-결합된 착물에 대한 바닥 상태 및 다른 전자 여기 상태들 ($S_1$와 $T_1$)에서의 기하학적 구조와 IR 스펙트라를 밀도 함수 이론(DFT)와 TDDFT 방법을 사용하여 계산하였다. 페놀과 두 물분자 간에 3개의 수소 결합으로 구성된 고리가 형성되었다. 세 개의 수소 결합에서 분자간 수소결합 $O_1-H_2{\cdots}O_3-H$은 $S_1$ 그리고 $T_1$ 상태에서 더 강해졌지만, 수소결합 $O_5-H_6{\cdots}O_1-H$은 $S_1$과 $T_1$상태에서 약해졌다. 이러한 결과들은 다른 전자 상태에서 수소 결합과 hydrogen-bonding groups의 결합 길이의 변화를 이론적으로 모니터링하여 얻었다. 수소 결합 $O_1-H_2{\cdots}O_3-H$가 $S_1$와 $T_1$ 상태 모두에서 강화된다는 것은 OH(phenol)의 계산된 신축 진동 모드가 광 여기에 의해 적색-이동한다는 것으로부터 확인 되었다. 전자 여기 상태에서 수소 결합이 강해지고 약해지는 행동은 phenol-$(H_2O)_n$의 다른 고리 구조에 존재할 수 있다.

The hydrogen gas pick-up problem that can occur during Lost Foam Casting was investigated by reduced pressure test and practical Lost Foam Casting. The proper test pressure of reduced pressure test was determined by experiments not to use polystyrene and gas contents of the melt were calculated from density measurement results. The results showed that the hydrogen pick-up increased with the increased amount of polystyrene that was replaced by melt. The hydrogen pick-up was larger in the case of no degassed melt than that of degassed melt. So the hydrogen pick-up depended on the initial hydrogen content of the melt and the contact time of the melt with the decomposed gas phase. The mold evacuation decreased the hydrogen pick-up and increased the flow length of melt during Lost Foam Casting. And the error of calculated hydrogen pick-up was calculated by numerical method.
