In this study, we prepared sputtering cathode for large sputtering thin film in the facing targets sputtering(FTS) system. Before fabrication of cathode equipment, we investigated optimal magnetic flux in the sputtering cathode by using magnetic field stimulation(Comsol). According to the result of magnetic field stimulation, we manufactured the cathode. After we mounted laboratory-designed cathode on FTS system, the discharge properties were observed in vacuum condition. In addition, ITO films were deposited on glass substrate and their electrical and optical properties were investigated by various measurements (four-point probe, UV-VIS spectrometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), Hall-effect measurement).

We have proposed a new configuration for the improvement of neutron yield without the application of external ion sources in an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device. The application of a double grid cathode to the IEC device is expected to generate a higher ion current than a single grid cathode. This paper verifies the effect of the double grid cathode by both fluid and particle simulation. Through the fluid simulation the optimal shape and applied voltage of the double grid cathode is determined, and through the particle simulation the usefulness of that is confirmed.

Neutron production rate in spherically convergent beam fusion(SCBF) device as a portable neutron source strongly depends on the ion current and the grid cathode structure. In this paper, as the process of design and analysis, Design of Experiment(DOE) based on the results by Finite Element Method-Flux Corrected Transport(FEM-FCT) method is employed to calculate the ion current. This method is very useful to find optimal design conditions in a short time. Number of rings, radius of rings, and distance between the grid cathode and center are selected as control factors. From the results in the optimized model, the higher ion current is calculated and deeper potential well is also observed.

A hollow cathode which has extremely stable discharge characteristic has been developed. This is composed of the two separated lanthanum hexaboride(LaB6) of a disk type in the tube as the electron emitters. The way of design is of great advantage to extend the surface discharge area of the LaB6, which is also useful for optimal fixing of the LaB6. The hollow cathode is capable of producing 30 kW(100 V, 300 A) of power continuously. Because the generated plasma beam with the high temperature(above $3000^{\circ}C$) from the hollow cathode passes through the center hole of the two intermediate electrodes, it is designed with the high temperature material of the tungsten and the suitable structure of the water cooling. The combinations of the hollow cathode and the two intermediate electrodes are practically useful for the ion plating plasma beam source.

본 논문은 CRT 표시장치에서 고전류밀도를 구현하기 위한 전자총의 히터와 캐소드의 최적의 저전력설계와 실험을 수행하였다. CRT 표시장치에서 밝기, 고휘도, 고해상도와 대화면화를 위해서는 전자총 캐소드(cathode)의 고전류밀도가 필수적이다. 이를 위해서는 함침형 캐소드가 사용되며, 고전류밀도를 얻기 위해 히터의 동작온도를 높여야하는데 이에 비례하여 소비전력도 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 고전류밀도 캐소드 히터의 저전력 설계를 위하여 히터의 리드형태(Lead Type), 코팅(Coating)법, 발열부의 1차 및 2차 코일링의 피치와 권선수를 달리한 샘플을 제작, 시험하였다.

This paper investigated environmental effects for passive, air-breathing, and vapor-feeding direct methanol fuel cells. In these experiments, experimental parameters are temperature($30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity(25%, 50%, 75%). From these experimental results, the water contents play a key role in terms of optimal ionic conductivity at the cathode catalyst layer. In case of pure methanol feeding, the performance is inversely proportional to the relative humidity. The water generation resulting from methanol crossover maintains ionic conductivity at the cathode. On the contrary, diluted methanol solution (50wt.%) lowers methanol crossover to the cathode. In order to increase ionic conductivity, the relatively high humidity is required to the cathode catalyst layer for the water generation. The relative humidity scales with the performance.

Optimal preparation guidelines of a cathode catalyst layer by non-precious metal catalysts were evaluated based on electrochemical performance in single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Experiments for catalyst loading rate revealed that iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) can be a promising alternative, comparable to platinum (Pt) and cobalt tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin (CoTMPP), including effects of substrate concentration. Results showed that using an optimal FePc loading of $1mg/cm^2$ was equivalent to a Pt loading of $0.35mg/cm^2$ on the basis of maximum power density. Given higher loading rates or substrate concentrations, FePc proved to be a better alternative for Pt than CoTMPP. Under the optimal loading rate, it was further revealed that 40 wt% of FePc to carbon support allowed for the best power generation. These results suggest that proper control of the non-precious metal catalyst layer and substrate concentration are highly interrelated, and reveal how those combinations promote the economic power generation of single-chamber MFCs.

As the demand for lithium-ion batteries, a key power source in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, continues to increase for achieving global carbon neutrality, there is a growing concern about the environmental impact of disposing of spent batteries. Extensive research is underway to develop efficient recycling methods. While hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy methods are commonly used to recover valuable metals from spent cathode materials, they have drawbacks including hazardous waste and complex processes. Hence, alternative recycling methods that are environmentally friendly are being explored. However, recycling spent cathode materials still remains complex and energy-intensive. This study focuses on a novel approach called solid-state synthesis, which aims at regenerating the performance of spent cathode materials. The method offers a simpler process and reduces energy consumption. Optimal heat treatment conditions were identified based on experimental results, contributing to the development of sustainable recycling technologies for lithium-ion batteries.

젖산을 이용하여 안전하게 양극활물질에 있는 Co, Mn, Ni을 침출할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 양극활물질을 젖산으로 침출 시켰을 때, 젖산의 농도는 1N과 4 N 이상에서 보다는 2 N에서 가장 높은 효율을 보였다. 양극활물질을 단계적으로 젖산 용액에 첨가 하였을 때, 최대 용해도는 2 N의 젖산 용액에서 1 L 당 30 g이었다. 젖산 용액에 옥살산을 첨가하였고 희유금속들은 1 L 당 4 g에서 가장 경제적인 회수율을 보였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 해서, 양극활물질로부터 희유금속들을 회수하기 위한 최적의 조건은 무게비로 옥살산과 양극활물질이 7 : 1이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 첨가하여, 옥살산에 의해서 생성된 침전물은 Co, Ni, Mn 3성분이 결합되어 있는 다핵 결정성 물질이었다.
