혼합전도체 산화물, LSCF의 전극반응점 분포에 따른 분극현상을 관찰하기 위해 다공성 양극의 기공률을 변화시켜가며 분극특성을 관찰하였다. 전극의 기공률을 달리하기 위해 크기가 다른 두 종류의 LSCF 분말들을 혼합비를 달리하여 사용하였으며 GDC 전해질 기판에 스크린 인쇄법을 통해 전극을 구성한 후 반쪽전지 실험을 수행하였다. 제조된 후막전극의 기공률은 화상 분석법을 통해 측정하였으며 전극의 전체 비표면적을 유추하기 위해 2차원 이미지에서의 기공의 둘레 길이를 측정하였다. 교류 임피던스법을 이용해 분극 특성을 관찰한 결과 혼합전도체인 LSCF 양극에서의 전극반응은 i) 양극표면에서 이온화된 산소이온이 전해질과의 삼상계면까지 이동해 오는 단계, ii) 이동해온 산소이온이 양극으로부터 전해질로 전달되는 반응단계에 의해 제어됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 양극에서의 분극은 기공률의 증가에 따라 전극 반응에 필요한 활성 표면이 증가됨으로써 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었다.

$TiO_2$에 담지된 불균일 촉매상에서 ppm 수준으로 존재하는 수중 유기오염물질들을 제거하기 위한 모델반응으로 액상 trichloroethylene(TCE) 분해반응을 선정하였으며, 여러 반응변수의 동시제어가 가능하도록 디자인된 연속 흐름식 고정층 반응기 내에서 incipient wetness 기법으로 제조된 여러 전이금속 산화물 촉매들의 TCE 분해활성을 조사하였다. 선택된 반응조건에서 모델반응의 내부확산저항은 없었으며, $36^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 촉매표면에 흡착에 의한 액상 TCE 제거된 정도는 무시할 만하였고 촉매반응에 의해서만 제거될 수 있었다. TCE 제거반응에 대한 촉매들의 활성 및 반응시간에 따른 분해효율의 의존성은 사용된 금속 산화물 및 담지체의 종류에 따라 달라지는 것으로 나타났다. 5 wt.% $CoO_x$/$TiO_2$ 촉매는 본 대상반응에 대하여 가장 우수한 활성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 반응시간의 경과 정도에 따라 TCE 분해효율이 점진적으로 증가하여 안정되는 전이구간의 존재를 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 촉매활성의 반응시간 의존성은 반응 초기와 일정시간 경과 후의 $TiO_2$ 표면에 존재하는 $CoO_x$의 표면구조가 상이할 뿐만 아니라 반응시간 경과와 함께 활성이 더욱 높은 Co species의 표면노출을 암시하고 있다. $NiO_x$, $CrO_x$와 같은 금속 산화물 촉매들의 반응활성은 매우 낮은 수준이었다. $TiO_2$와 MFI를 담지체로 하여 각각 incipient wetness법과 이온교환법으로 제조된 $CuO_x/TiO_2$, Cu-MFI, $FeO_x/TiO_2$ 및 Fe-MFI의 TCE 제거효율을 반응시간의 함수로 살펴본 결과, Cu 촉매들에서 관찰되는 반응시간-분해효율 거동과는 다른 현상이 $FeO_x/TiO_2$와 Fe-MFI 촉매상에서 관찰되었다. $36^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 전반응시간 동안에 5 wt.% $FeO_x/TiO_2$ 촉매상에서 TCE 제거반응은 일어나지 않았으나, 1.2 wt.% Fe-MFI의 경우 반응 초기에 높은 제거율을 일정시간 동안 유지하다가 서서히 감소하는 비활성화 현상이 발생하였다. 이는 동일한 활성성분이 사용된다 할지라도 그 제조방법에 따라 촉매활성이 달라질 수 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 액상반응 중에 일어나는 활성성분의 redox cycle이 중요한 역할을 할 수 있음을 암시하고 있다. 가장 우수한 $CoO_x/TiO_2$ 촉매의 TCE 분해활성에 미치는 $CoO_x$ 담지량, 반응온도 등의 영향을 조사한 결과, 최적의 $CoO_x$ 담지량이 존재하였고 반응온도가 높을수록 TCE 제거효율은 높게 나타났다. 반응 중에 $CoO_x$ leaching에 의한 $CoO_x$의 손실이 확인되었으나 TCE 전환율에 영향을 미칠 정도는 아닌 것으로 판단되었다.

The synthesis and the characterization of crosslinked ABC triblock copolymer, i.e. polystyrene-b-poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(styrene sulfonic acid), (PS-b-PHEMA-b-PSSA) is reported. PS-b-PHEMA-b-PSSA triblock copolymer at 20:10:70 wt% was sequentially synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The middle block was crosslinked by sulfosuccinic acid (SA) via the esterification reaction between -OH of PHEMA and -COOH of SA, as demonstrated by FTIR spectroscopy. As increasing amounts of SA, ion exchange capacity (IEC) continuously increased from 2.13 to 2.82 meq/g but water uptake decreased from 181.8 to 82.7%, resulting from the competitive effect between crosslinked structure and the increasing concentration of sulfonic acid group. A maximum proton conductivity of crosslinked triblock copolymer membrane at room temperature reached up to 0.198 S/cm at 3.8 w% of SA, which was more than two-fold higher than that of Nafion 117(0.08 S/cm). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis clearly showed that the PS-b-PHEMA-b-PSSA triblock copolymer is microphase-separated with a nanometer range and well developed to provide the connectivity of ionic PSSA domains. The membranes exhibited the good thermal properties up to $250^{\circ}C$ presumably resulting from the microphase-separated and crosslinked structure of the membranes, as revealed by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA).

This work examines the dynamic properties of ice surfaces in vacuum for the temperature range of 140~180 K, which extends over the onset temperatures for ice sublimation and the phase transition from amorphous to crystallization ice. In particular, the study focuses on the transport processes of excess protons and chloride ions in ice and their segregative behavior to the ice surface. These phenomena were studied by conducting experiments with a relatively thick (~100 BL) ice film constructed with a bottom $H_2O$ layer and an upper $D_2O$ layer, with excess hydronium and chloride ions trapped at the $H_2O$/$D_2O$ interface as they were generated by the ionization of hydrogen chloride. The migration of protons, chloride ions, and water molecules to the ice film surface and their H/D exchange reactions were measured as a function of temperature using the methods of low energy sputtering (LES) and Cs+ reactive ion scattering (RIS). Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) experiments monitored the desorption of water and hydrogen chloride from the surface. Our observations indicated that both hydronium and chloride ions migrated from the interfacial layer to segregate to the surface at high temperature. Hydrogen chloride gas desorbs via recombination reaction of hydronium and chloride ions floating on the surface. Surface segregation of these species is driven by thermodynamic potential gradient present near the ice surface, whereas in the bulk, their transport is facilitated by thermal diffusion process. The finding suggests that chlorine activation reactions of hydrogen chloride for polar stratospheric ice particles occur at the surface of ice within a depth of at most a few molecular layers, rather than in the bulk phase.

We have produced electrolyte solution out of 1.15M $LiPF_6$ EC/EMC/DEC/PC(30/55/10/5 by vol%) as a reference, and at the same time, performed basic physical property test using a single solvent of 1.15M $LiPF_6$ DEC, DMC, EMC and a 2 component electrolyte solution of 1.15M $LiPF_6$ EC/DEC(1/2 by vol%) and PC/DEC(1/2 by vol%). Cyclic Voltammetry Analysis showed that, compared to existing carbonate organic solvent, the addition of DEC,DMC and EMC brought the de-decomposition peak of salt anion of $PF_6$ and the solvent at lower oxidization potential of 2.3V, 0.7V and 2.1V(vs. $Li/Li^+$). In addition, a kinetics current peak, in which intercalation of Lt is proceeded at 750mV, 450mV(vs. $Li/Li^+$), was confirmed. These findings suggest that the DEC solvent decomposition occurred at an electric potential lower than that of oxidization of existing carbonate organic solvent. Through the impedance analysis, we checked electric charge transfer resistance($R_{ct}$) according to the electric potential of $Li^+$ intercalation at 750mV(vs. $Li/Li^+$), which was the same as the resistance ($R_f$) and cyclic voltammetry of SEI film that was formed at Reference. By doing so, we found that the significant decrease of polarization resistance($R_p$) when Reference was played a part in the formation of compact SEI layer at the initial decomposition reaction.

Two simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of three fluoroquinolones, namely levofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin have been performed either in pure form or in their tablets. In the first method, levofloxacin and norfloxacin are directly treated with bromocresol green (BCG) in dichloromethane while ciprofloxacin is allowed to react with the same dye in aqueous acidic buffer. Highly yellow colored complex species were formed instantaneously in case of levofloxacin and norfloxacin or after extraction into dichloromethane for ciprofloxacin. The formed complexes are quantified spectrophotometrically at their absorption maxima at 411 nm for levofloxacin and 412 nm for norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. The second method involves the reaction of levofloxacin with ${\rho}$-chloranilic acid ( ${\rho}$-CA) and norfloxacin with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in acetonitrile to give complexes with maximum absorbance at 521 and 333 nm for the two drugs, respectively. Adopting the first procedure, calibration graphs were linear over the range 1- 20 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ with mean percentage recoveries of 100.41 ${\pm}$ 0.72, 99.99 ${\pm}$ 0.54 and 100.23 ${\pm}$ 0.91 for the theree drugs, respectively. For the second procedure, the concentration ranges were 15-250 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ for levofloxacin using ${\rho}$-CA and 0.8-16 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ for norfloxacin using TCNE with mean percentage recoveries of 99.88 ${\pm}$ 0.45 and 100.26 ${\pm}$ 0.68 for the two drugs, respectively. The proposed methods were successfully applied to determine these drugs in their tablet formulations and the results compared favorably to that of reference methods. The proposed methods are recommended for quality control and routine analysis.

The organic-inorganic composite membrane in polymer exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have several fascinating technological advantages such as a proton conductivity, thermal stability and mechanical properties. As the inorganic filler, silicon carbide (SiC) fiber have been used in various fields due to its unique properties such as thermal stability, conductivity, and tensile strength. In this study, composite membrane was successfully fabricated by modified-silicon carbide fiber. Modified process, as a novel process in SiC, takes reaction by phosphoric acid after oxidation process (generated homogeniusly $SiO_2$ layer on SiC fiber). The mechanical property which was conducted by tensile test of the 5wt% modified-$SiO_2@SiCf$ composite membrane was better than that of Aquivion casting membrane as well as ion cxchange capacity(IEC) and proton conductivity. In addition, the single cell performance was observed that the 5wt% modified-$SiO_2@SiCf$ composite membrane was approximately $0.2A/cm^2$ higher than that of a Aquivion casting electrolyte membrane and electrochemical impedance was improved with the charge transfer resistance and membrane resistance.

Proton conducting crosslinked membranes were prepared using polymer blends of polystyrene-b-poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate)-b-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PS-b-PHEA-b-PSSA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). PS-b-PHEA-b-PSSA triblock copolymer at 28:21:51 wt% was synthesized sequentially using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). FT-IR spectroscopy showed that after thermal ($120^{\circ}C$, 2 h) and chemical (sulfosuccinic acid, SA) treatments of the membranes, the middle PHEA block of the triblock copolymer was crosslinked with PVA through an esterification reaction between the -OH group of the membrane and the -COOH group of SA. The ion exchange capacity (IEC) decreased from 1.56 to 0.61 meq/g with increasing amount of PVA. Therefore, the proton conductivity at room temperature decreased from 0.044 to 0.018 S/cm. However, the introduction of PVA resulted in a decrease in water uptake from 87.0 to 44.3%, providing good mechanical properties applicable to the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of fuel cells. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the membrane was microphase-separated with a nanometer range with good connectivity of the $SO_3H$ ionic aggregates. The power density of a single $H_2/O_2$ fuel cell system using the membrane with 50 wt% PVA was $230\;mW/cm^2$ at $70^{\circ}C$ with a relative humidity of 100%. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) also showed a decrease in the thermal stability of the membranes with increasing PVA concentration.

Thin films of two kinds of Prussian Blue (PB)-modified, using iron(Ⅲ) complex instead of conventional FeCl3, were prepared on a gold substrate and these films were able to be electrochemically reduced in potassium nitrate solution. In case of PB-modified films prepared from Fe(Ⅲ)-ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (FeEN3+)/K3Fe(CN)6 solution, the mid-peak potential was 0.156 V in 0.1 M KNO3 and it was found that potassium ion migrates into or out of the film during the electrolysis. These films were shown to be electrochromic. These films exhibited smaller peak separation than those formed from Fe(Ⅲ)-tartaric acid (FeTA3+)/K3Fe(CN)6 system. The diffusion coefficient of Fe(CN)63-/4- redox couple, evaluated using the fabricated Au rotating disc electrode(rde) previously reported, was in good agreement with the existing data. Two experimental procedures, including the voltammetry at relatively low scan rates and the rde study, have been used in order to characterize the electrode kinetics. The electrode kinetics of some redox couples (FeEN2+-FeEN3+ and FeTA2+-FeTA3+) on both PB-modified thin films and bare Au electrode were studied using a Au rde. In all cases the rate constants of electron transfer obtained with the PB-modified film electrodes were only slightly less than those obtained for the same reaction on bare Au disc electrodes. The conductivities, as determined from the slopes of the i-V curves for a ca. 1 mm sample for dried PB-modified potassium-rich and deficient bulk samples pressed between graphite electrodes, were 6.21 × 10-7 and 2.03 × 10-7(Ω·cm)-1, respectively.
