Fuel cell is a device that directly converts chemical energy in the form of a fuel into electrical energy by way of an electrochemical reaction. In the anode for a high temperature fuel cell, nickel or nickel alloy has been used in consideration of the cost, oxidation catalystic ability of hydrogen which is used as fuel, electron conductivity, and high temperature stability in reducing atmosphere. Most MCFC stacks currently operate at an average temperature of $650^{\circ}C$. There is some gains with decreased temperature in MCFC to diminish the electrolyte loss from evaporation and the material corrosion, which could improve the MCFC life. However, operating temperature has a strong related on a number of electrode reaction rates and ohmic losses. Baker et al. reported the effect of temperature (575 to $650^{\circ}C$). The rates of cell voltage loss were 1.4mV/$^{\circ}C$ for a reduction in temperature from 650 to $600^{\circ}C$, and 2.16mV/$^{\circ}C$ for a decrease from 600 to $575^{\circ}C$. The two major contributors responsible for the change in cell voltage with reducing operation temperature are the ohmic polarization and electrode polarization. It appears that in the temperature range of 550 to $650^{\circ}C$, about 1/3 of the total change in cell voltage with decreasing temperature is due to an increase in ohmic polarization, and the electrode polarization at the anode and cathode. In addition, the oxidation reaction of hydrogen on an ordinary nickel alloy anode in MCFC is generally considered to take place in the three phase zone, but anyway the area contributing to this reaction is limited. Therefore, in order to maintain a high performance of the fuel cell, it is necessary to keep this reaction responsible area as wide as possible, that is, it is needed to keep the porosity and specific surface area of the anode at a high level. In this study effective anodes are prepared for low temperature MCFC capable of enhancing the cell performance by using zirconium hydride at least in part of anode material.

Water management has been recognized as a crucial factor for achieving better performance and stability in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Proper water management should provide favorable water conditions, including the local humidity, membrane water content, and liquid water saturation in PEMFCs, thereby leading to more uniform electrochemical reaction and current generation. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was conducted to investigate the effects of the cathode relative humidity (RH) on the performance of a 3 by $3\;cm^2$ PEMFC with serpentine flow fields. The CFD results showed that the best performance of the PEMFC was obtained for the cathode RH of 80%, but the performance variation was small for the cathode RH range of $60{\sim}100%$. However, the loss of the PEMFC performance was significant when the cathode RH was reduced below 40%. The reason for such performance variation was investigated through the detailed inspection of ohmic loss, activation and concentration overpotential, and water and current distributions.

In MHz operating wireless power transfer systems, skin- and proximity-effect losses in the transmitter and the receiver coils dominate the coil-to-coil efficiency of the system. A Litz-wire was regarded as a common solution for minimizing such Ohmic losses in high frequencies. In this paper, equivalent series resistances of 12 different cables including Litz-wire and copper tubing have been calculated and measured for a 6.78 MHz, 100W, 30 cm wireless power transfer system. It has been shown that the copper tubing has lower resistances compared to the Litz-wire in that frequency and a wireless power transfer system with the copper tubing was able to achieve much higher efficiency than a system using the Litz-wire. Calculations of the resistances and efficiencies were accomplished with analytical equations and those calculations were evaluated by experimental results.

This paper presents the design and characterization of wide band ohmic microswitch with an actuation voltage as low as 20~25 V, and a restoring force of 14.1 μN. The design of the proposed switch is primarily composed of an electrostatic actuator, bridge membrane, cantilever (beam) and coplanar waveguide, suspended over the substrate. The analysis shows an insertion loss of −0.002 dB at 1GHz and remains as low as −0.35 dB, even at 100 GHz. The isolation loss of the switch is sustained at −21.09 dB at 100GHz, with a peak value of −99.58 dB at 1 GHz and up-state capacitance of 4 fF. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of a series contact switch, which works over a wide bandwidth (DC-100 GHz) and with such a high and sustained isolation, even at high frequencies and with an excellent figure of merit (f_c=1/2.pi.Ron.Cu= 39.7 THz).

The properties of SOFC unit cells manufactured using the decalcomania method were investigated. SOFC unit cell manufacturing using the decalcomania method is a very simple process. In order to minimize the ohmic loss of flattened tube type anode supports of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFC), the cells were fabricated by producing an anode function layer, YSZ electrolyte, LSM electrode, etc., on the supports and laminating them. The influence of these materials on the power output characteristics was studied when laminating the components and laminating the anode function layer between the anode and the electrolyte to improve the output characteristics. Regarding the performance of the SOFC unit cell, the output was 246 $mW/cm^2$ at a temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in the case of not laminating the anode function layer; however, this value was improved by a factor of two to 574 $mW/cm^2$ due to the decrease of the ohmic resistance and polarization resistance of the cell in the case of laminating the anode function layer. The outputs appeared to be as high as 574 and 246 $mW/cm^2$ at a temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in the case of using decalcomania paper when laminating the electrolyte layer using the in dip-coating method; however, the reason for this is that interfacial adhesion was improved due to the dense structure, which leads to a thin thickness of the electrolyte layer.

본 연구에서는 전 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지(VRFB)에 적용하기 위한 세공충진 음이온교환막의 최적 설계 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 실험결과를 통해 VRFB 충방전 성능에 가장 지대한 영향을 미치는 막 설계인자는 이온교환용량, 지지체의 기공율 및 가교도임을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 상기 인자들에 의해 VRFB의 ohmic loss와 활물질의 crossover가 결정되었다. 또한 세공충진 음이온교환막의 제조 시 낮은 가교도에서 이온교환용량을 감소시키는 것과 높은 이온교환용량에서 가교도를 증가시키는 두 가지 방안을 검토하였다. 그 결과 충분히 높은 이온교환용량에서 가교도를 최적화 하는 것이 VRFB 충방전 성능 관점에서 바람직한 것으로 판단되었다.

고분자전해질 연료전지에서 분리판 유로 형상은 유체 공급과 물 및 열 확산, 접촉 저항 등에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 25 cm² 단위 전지를 이용하여 공기극에 구리폼을 적용한 분리판을 이용하여 연료전지 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 압력과 상대습도 조건에 대한 영향을 분극 곡선과 전기화학적 임피던스 분광법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 구리폼의 ohmic 저항이 높아 사형유로형상 보다 연료전지 성능은 낮았지만, 다공성 구조로 인한 균일한 연료 분포로 활성화 손실과 물질전달 손실이 적은 것을 확인하였다. 구리폼의 소수성이 높아 물 배출이 유리한 장점이 있지만, 저가습 조건에서는 사형유로에 비하여 전해질막 수화도가 낮은 것을 확인하였다. 다공성 금속 분리판은 균일한 압력 분포와 효과적인 수분 배출로 연료전지 성능을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 저항을 최소화할 수 있도록 금속폼의 물성에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.

parallel bonding wires separaated with a screeing bonding wire are proposed and characterized in order to redue mutual coupling and parasitics of high-speed and high-density device packaging. The mehtod of moments (MoM) with the incorporation of the ohmic loss has been used in a wide range of frequencies. From the calculated results, we have found that the screening bonding wire effectively reduces inductive and capacitive crostalk levels more than 3dB. the parasitic self inductance is also reduced more than 12% by the screening effect. Therefore, for a general VLSi package, the packaging density can be increased more than 30% using the screening bonding wire. This screeing bonding wire and the analysis can be effectively used to reduce crosstalk and increase packaging density of high density devices.
