고성능의 산소생성반응(OER)과 수소생성반응(HER) 전기촉매 개발은 수전해 시스템의 상용화에 있어서 매우 중요하게 여겨진다. 특히 HER에 비하여 OER이 상대적으로 높은 과전압을 가지기 때문에, OER의 과전압을 효과적으로 낮추는 촉매를 개발하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는, 매우 간단한 공정을 통하여 triple perovskite 구조의 Nd_1.5Ba_1.5CoFeMnO_x 전기촉매를 합성하였으며 그 특성을 분석하였다. 합성된 Nd_1.5Ba_1.5CoFeMnO_x는 OER 뿐만 아니라 HER에서도 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 높은 결정성을 가지는 triple perovskite 구조가 간단한 연소 합성법(combustion synthetic method)을 통하여 합성될 수 있으며 알칼리 전해질 하에서 매우 우수한 촉매특성을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 높은 OER, HER 특성을 보이는 Nd_1.5Ba_1.5CoFeMnO_x triple perovskite 촉매는 수전해 시스템의 상용화에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, $Sr_2Ni_{1.8}Mo_{0.2}O_{6-{\delta}}$ (SNM) with a double perovskite structure was investigated as an alternative anode for use in the $CH_4$ fuel in solid oxide fuel cells. SNM demonstrates a double perovskite phase over $600^{\circ}C$ and marginal crystallization at higher temperatures. The Ni nanoparticles were exsolved from the SNM anode during the fabrication process. As the SNM anode demonstrates poor electrochemical and electro-catalytic properties in the $H_2$ and $CH_4$ fuels, it was modified by applying a samarium-doped ceria (SDC) coating on its surface to improve the cell performance. As a result of this SDC modification, the cell performance improved from $39.4mW/cm^2$ to $117.7mW/cm^2$ in $H_2$ and from $15.9mW/cm^2$ to $66.6mW/cm^2$ in $CH_4$ at $850^{\circ}C$. The mixed ionic and electronic conductive property of the SDC provided electrochemical oxidation sites that are beyond the triple boundary phase sites in the SNM anode. In addition, the carbon deposition on the SDC thin layer was minimized due to the SDC's excellent oxygen ion conductivity.

A site preference of niobium atom in Rb2-xLa2Ti3-xNbxO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq1.0)$ and RbLa2-xCaxTi2-xNb1+xO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq2.0)$, which are the solid-solutions between Rb2La2Ti3O10 and RbCa2Nb3O10, has been investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra of Rb2-xLa2Ti3-xNbxO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq1.0)$ gave an evidence that niobium atoms substituted for titanium atoms preferably occupy the highly distorted outer octahedral sites rather than the central ones in triple-octahedral perovskite layers. In contrast, the Raman spectra of RbLa2-xCaxTi2-xNb1+xO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq2.0)$ showed no clear information for the cationic arrangement in perovskite slabs. This difference indicated that a site preference of niobium atoms is observed only when the linear Rb-O-Ti linkage can be replaced by much stronger terminal Nb-O bond with double bond character. From comparison with the Raman spectroscopic behavior of CsLa2-xA’xTi2-xNb1+xO10 (A’ = Ca and Ba; 0.0 $\leqx\leq2.0)$, it is also proposed that a local difference in arrangement of interlayer atoms causes a significantly different solid acidity and photocatalytic activity of the layered perovskite oxides, despite their crystallographically similar structures.

At the porous $La_{0.6}Ca_{0.4}MnO_{3-{\delta}}$(LCM)/YSZ electrodes of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), the electrochemical redox reaction of oxygen proceeds via the triple boundary (TPB) of gas/LCM/YSZ. The surface diffusion of adsorbed oxygen on LCM has been proposed as the rate determining process, assuming the gradient of oxygen chemical potential from the outer surface of porous layer to TPB. Along with the formation of this gradient, oxygen nonstoichiometry in the bulk of LCM may varies. In this paper, an electrochemical technique was described precisely to determine the variation of oxygen content in LCM of porous LCM/YSZ under polarization. It was shown that the oxygen potential in LCM layer under large cathodic polarization is much lower than that in the gas phase, being determined from the electrode potential and Nernst equation.

페로브스카이트 단일상의 PMN 계 복합화합물을 제조하기 위하여 일반적으로 소량의 MgO가 과잉으로 사용되며, 잉여 MgO는 주로 입내에 석출되며 소결을 저해하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 MgO 대신 $(MgCO_3)_4{\cdot}Mg(OH)_2{\cdot}5H_{2}O$을 사용하여 고상법으로 제조한 PMN-PT-BT(PBT) 전구체 분말을 $500^{\circ}C/1h$에서 열처리한 후, MgO 졸로 표면 개질하여, 과잉의 MgO가 소결 및 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 소량의 MgO 졸($0.5{\sim}1.0wt\%$)은 $1000^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 소결을 크게 촉진시켰다. $0.5wt\%$의 졸이 사용된 PBT 분말은 $900^{\circ}C/2h$ 소결로 소결밀도 $7.62g/cm^3$, 유전율 14800, 유전손실 $1.1\%$를 나타내었으며, 이는 PBT의 $1000^{\circ}C/2h$ 소결체의 물성과 흡사하였다. 또한 MgO 졸로 첨가된 과잉의 MgO는 삼중점과 입계에 주로 석출되어 입성장을 제어함을 알 수 있었다.
