Abstract:
Disclosed is an electrochemical reaction cell enhancing a reduction reaction. The electrochemical reaction cell enhancing a reduction reaction comprises: a membrane electrode assembly including a polymer electrolytic membrane, a cathode formed by sequentially stacking a first gas diffusion layer and a first catalyst layer on one surface of the electrolytic membrane, and an anode formed by sequentially stacking a second catalyst layer and a second gas diffusion layer on the other surface of the electrolytic membrane; a first distribution plate stacked on the first catalyst layer to supply a reaction gas and a cathode electrolytic solution dissolved with the reaction gas to the first catalyst layer along separate channels; and a second distribution plate stacked on the second gas diffusion layer to supply an anode electrolytic solution to the second gas diffusion layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for decomposing low-concentration volatile organic compounds, which includes: an adsorption unit configured to adsorb a volatile organic compound; a heated air supply unit configured to supply a heated air to the adsorption unit; an oxidation decomposing catalyst unit configured to decompose a volatile organic compound detached from the adsorption unit; and an ozone supply unit configured to supply an ozone to the oxidation decomposing catalyst unit. The apparatus may maximize an exchange cycle semi-permanently by adsorbing low-concentration VOC under a high-flow condition and then detaching VOC within a short time and also by recycling an adsorption filter. In addition, the apparatus may effectively decompose VOC substances detached by a low flow into carbon dioxide and water under a condition with most excellent oxidation decomposition efficiency by using an oxidation decomposing catalyst filter.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a moisture barrier film for an organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaic cell which includes an ionic polymer. Also disclosed is an organic-inorganic hybrid photovoltaic cell including the moisture barrier film. The photovoltaic cell has a structure in which the moisture barrier film including an ionic polymer is formed on an absorber layer including an organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite compound. Due to this structure, the moisture barrier film effectively protects the organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite absorber layer, which is very susceptible to moisture, and other constituent layers, from moisture from the external environment so that excellent characteristics of the photovoltaic cell can be maintained for a long time. In other words, the moisture barrier film including an ionic polymer is interposed between the absorber layer and a hole transport layer or between the hole transport layer and a second electrode to enhance the physical and chemical binding therebetween.
Abstract:
Provided is a catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction comprising an alloy comprising at least one selected from Pt, Pd and Ir supported on a carbon carrier functionalized with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). The catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction has electronic ensemble effects by virtue of the carbon carrier functionalized with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), and thus shows improved oxygen reduction activity and durability as compared to conventional catalysts supported on carbon.

Abstract:
A polybenzimidazole based polymer in which substituted or non-substituted benzyl groups are introduced to the two nitrogen atoms of benzimidazole ring. The benzimidazole ring is not decomposed by the attack of hydroxide ions but shows excellent alkali resistance, and thus maintains high ion conductivity. The polybenzimidazole based polymers are particularly useful for not only solid alkali exchange membrane fuel cells (SAEMFC) but also various industrial fields in which polybenzimidazole based polymers are used.
