The bimodal porous carbons were synthesized by using imprinting method with templates of SBA-15 particle and silica sphere and applied as supporting materials for the electro-catalyst of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). The silica spheres with diameter size of 100 nm and SBA-15 particle having 200 nm -250 nm diameter and 700 nm -900 nm length were synthesized in this work. The bimodal porous carbons (S100) were prepared by using the silica spheres and SBA-15 as templates and mesophase pitch as a carbon source. The PtRu nanoparticle of ca. 1.9 nm were supported on the bimodal porous carbon support and the resulting PtRu/S100 catalysts was tested by the cyclic voltammetry. The use of bimodal porous carbon showed in comparable electro-catalytic activities with commercial catalyst. Though unclear effects of bimodal porosity of supports could be obtained in the scope of this study, morphological advantage in electrical conductivity can be considered on the electro-catalytic activity.

Electrochemical and photochemical techniques have been proved to be effective for the removal of organic pollutants in textile wastewater. The present study deals with degradation of synthetic textile effluents containing reactive dyes and assisting chemicals, using electro oxidation and photo catalytic treatment. The influence of various operating parameters such as dye concentration, current density, supporting electrolyte concentration and lamp intensity on TOC removal has been determined. From the present investigation it has been observed that nearly 70% of TOC removal has been recorded for electrooxidation treatment with current density 5 mA/$dm^2$, supporting electrolyte concentration of 3 g/L and in photocatalytic treatment with 250 V as optimum lamp intensity nearly 67% of TOC removal was observed. The result indicates that electro oxidation treatment is more efficient than photocatalytic treatment for dye degradation.

A suituable choice of supporting electrolyte medium for trace level determinations of chromium(VI) by differential pulse polarography is described. A comparative study suggests that sodium borate buffer is superior to ammonium acetate, ammonium tartrate, and especially to NaF which was recently known to be one of the most proper medium for the purpose. With 0.01 M borate, the best combination of high sensitivity, well-defined base line, and freedom from common interferents was attained. With $5.0{\times}10^{-7}$M Cr(VI), tenfold excesses of Cu(II) and Fe(III), and a five hundred-fold excess of $Cl^-$ do not change the peak current by more than about 1%. And the detection limit was $5.0{\times}10^{-8}$M Cr(VI).

In this study, we prepared electrodes containing ionic liquid for high temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Effects of ILs on electrochemical properties of the electrodes were investigated carrying out measurement of cyclic voltammograms of the various electrodes with the content of IL in a strong supporting electrolyte. As the ILs content increased in electrodes, electrochemical surface area(ESA) decreased due to the leakage of ILs from Nafion ionomer. In addition, two case of cyclic voltammograms under two simulated environment, i.e. IL leakage from Nafion ionomer in I) electrode and ii) polymer electrolyte, were investigated. As a result, IL leakage from polymer electrolyte showed worse results in electrochemical properties of the electrode.

Excessive presence of heavy metals in environment may contaminate plants and fruits grown in that area. Rapid on-site monitoring of heavy metals can provide useful information to efficiently characterize heavy metal-contaminated sites and minimize the exposure of the contaminated food crops to humans. This study reports on the evaluation of a bismuth-coated glassy carbon electrode for simultaneous determination of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in a NIST-SRM 1568a rice flour by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The use of a supporting electrolyte 0.1 M $HNO_3$ at a dilution ratio (sample pretreated with acid digestion in a microwave oven: supporting electrolyte) of 1:1 provided well-defined, sharp and separate peaks for Cd and Pb ions, thereby resulting in strongly linear relationships between Cd and Pb concentrations and peak currents measured with the electrode ($R^2\;=\;0.97$, 0.99 for Cd and Pb, respectively). The validation test results for spiked standard solutions with different concentrations of Cd and Pb gave acceptable predictability for both spiked Cd and Pb ions with mean prediction errors of 6 to 30%. However, the applicability of the electrode to the real rice flour sample was limited by the fact that Cd concentrations spiked in the rice flour sample were overly estimated with relatively high variations even though Pb ion could be quantitatively measured with the electrode.

페놀을 함유한 폐 활성탄의 가열 재생시 대기 오염물인 페놀이 생성되어 환경을 오염시키므로 발생하는 페놀 제거에 대한 검토가 필요하다 본 연구에서 실험에 사용하여 페놀을 함유한 S.회사 활성탄(WS-GAC), C.회사 활성탄(WC-GAC), L.회사 활성탄(UL-GAC)의 전해산화는 정전위 전해방식으로 실험하였다. 시료에 함유된 페놀농도는 100 rng/g, 지지 전해질은 1.0% 염화나트륨 용액, Ti-Ir(10$\times$10$ extrm{cm}^2$)전극 간격은 2 cm,전류밀도는 $1.25 A/dm^2$인 조건에서 실험이 이루워졌을 경우 전해 산화 실험에서 얻은 결과 페놀의 잔류물은 검출되지 않았다. 그러므로 전해산화 반응에서 빈응시간, 전류밀도, 지지전해질의 농도, 전극간의 거리가 60 minutes, 1.25 $A/dm^2$, 1.0%, 2 cm 임을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 퀴노잘린(quinoxaline)과 페로시아나이드(ferrocyanide)를 활물질로 활용한 알칼리 전해질 기반 수계 유기 레독스 흐름전지에 대해 다양한 첨가제를 적용하여 성능을 비교하는 실험을 진행하였다. 퀴노잘린(quinoxaline)의 경우 염화칼륨(KCl) 전해질보다는 수산화칼륨(KOH) 전해질에서의 레독스 전위(-0.97 V)가 더 작은 위치에 있으며, 이에 따라 KOH 전해질에 대해 페로시아나이드와 조합을 이루었을 때, 셀 전압 값은 1.3 V로 높게 나타났다. 상용 양이온 교환막 중 하나인 Nafion 117 멤브레인을 사용하였을 때, 퀴노잘린(quinoxaline)의 부반응 현상을 반전지 상에서 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이에 따라 충방전 자체가 잘 되지 않는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 문제점이 되는 퀴노잘린(quinoxaline)의 부반응을 해결하기 위해 친전자체와 친핵체 중 하나인 포타슘설페이트($K_2SO_4$)와 포타슘아이오다이드(KI)를 사용하였으며, 포타슘아이오다이드(KI)를 사용하였을 때, 용량 손실율 측면에서 포타슘 아이오다이드(KI)를 첨가제로 넣지 않았을 때($0.29Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}per\;cycle$) 보다 더 낮은 용량 손실율($0.21Ah{\cdot}L^{-1}per\;cycle$)로 더 높은 용량 유지율을 보였다.

염료감응형 태양전지를 위한 고분자 전해질막을 제조하였다. 고분자물질로는 Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)를 사용하였으며, 가소제로서 poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)를 첨가하였고, 전해질염 및 $I^-/{I_3}^-$의 공급원으로서 KI 및 $I_2$를 첨가하여 고분자 전해질막을 제조하였으며, 이와 같은 고분자 전해질막을 바탕으로 염료감응형 태양전지를 제조하였다. 고분자 전해질 내의 가소제로서의 PEG 함량은 0%에서 85%의 범위로 변화하였다. 이러한 PEG 함량 전 구간에서 고분자 전해질막은 그 형태를 자체적으로 유지하는(self supporting) 완벽한 고체 전해질막의 형태로 제조되었다. PEG 함량이 증가하면서 전해질막을 통한 이온전도도와 ${I_3}^-$ 이온의 확산도계수는 증가하였다. 염료감응형 태양전지에 있어서는 고분자 전해질막 내의 PEG 함량이 증가하면서 그 효율이 증가함을 볼 수 있었다.

A manganese dioxide (MnO₂) layer and zinc (Zn) layer are used as the cathode and the anode to develop filmtype manganese battery, in which a stack of a MnO₂ layer, gel electrolyte, and Zn layer are sandwiched between two plastic layers. This paper describes the chemical equation of swelling control upon the film-type manganese battery. We examined the reduction of hydrogen formation, by using calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂ as an additive in the electrolyte of film-type manganese battery. The phenomena or an effect of reduced hydrogen gas was proven by cyclic voltammogram, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and volume of hydrogen formation. The amount of H₂ gas generation in the presence of Ca²⁺ ion was reduced from 4.81 to 4.15 cc/g-zinc (14%), and the corrosion of zinc electrode in the electrolyte was strongly inhibited as time passed.

A fixed-bed zinc/nickel redox flow battery (RFB) is designed and developed. The proposed cell has been established in the form of a fixed bed RFB. The zinc electrode is immersed in an aqueous NaOH solution (anolyte solution) and the nickel electrode is immersed in the catholyte solution which is a mixture of potassium ferrocyanide, potassium ferricyanide and sodium hydroxide as the supporting electrolyte. In the present work, the electrode area has been maximized to $1500cm^2$ to enforce an increase in the energy efficiency up to 77.02% at a current density $0.06mA/cm^2$ using a flow rate $35cm^3/s$, a concentration of the anolyte solution is $1.5mol\;L^{-1}$ NaOH and the catholyte solution is $1.5mol\;L^{-1}$ NaOH as a supporting electrolyte mixed with $0.2mol\;L^{-1}$ equimolar of potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide. The outlined results from this study are described on the basis of battery performance with respect to the current density, velocity in different electrolytes conditions, energy efficiency, voltage efficiency and power of the battery.
