實驗室簡介 (Introduction)
清華大學工程與系統科學系電化學實驗室之指導教授為葉宗洸教授與王美雅博士。實驗室為1998年1月成立。
近年來，實驗室陸續接受原子能委員會的委託，從事了多項與核電廠結構安全相關的電化學與腐蝕相關的研究，其中包括領先國際核能材料界的不鏽鋼表面氫與氧於高溫純水環境中之電化學行為研究、核電廠系統結構組件與管件除汙技術研究、用過核燃料乾貯筒腐蝕劣化與防制研究等，有助於管制機機關的核安管制作為。
另外，實驗室也進行了各項氫能相關的研究，其中包括PEMFC, DMFC, AEMFC, PAFC的陰陽極觸媒製備，以及水電解器PEMWE的觸媒和其他部件的研究。
The Electrochemistry Lab in the Dep. of ESS at NTHU was established in January, 1998 by Prof. Tsung-Kuang Yeh and Dr. Mei-Ya Wang.
In recent years, our lab has been commissioned by the Atomic Energy Council and has conducted a number of electrochemical and corrosion-related studies related to the structural safety of nuclear power plants, including the electrochemical behaviour of hydrogen and oxygen on the surface of stainless steel in high-temperature pure water environments. Research on the decontamination technology for nuclear power plant system structural components and pipings, research on corrosion deterioration and prevention of used nuclear fuel dry storage, etc. Our studies bring great benifits for the nuclear safety control actions.
In addition, the laboratory has also conducted various hydrogen energy-related research. Our aim is to improve the performance of fuel cells and water electrolysis. We adjusting the preparation methods as well as several kind of parameters to improve the electroplated catalysts and other components. Recent studies covers the region of PAFCs, PEMFCs, DMFCs, AEMFCs and PEM water electrolysis.
Corrosion Engineering
Corrosion degradation is a critical issue in operation of nuclear power plants. In our lab, we try to quantify the corrosion phenomenon and establish an effective way to reduce corrosion rate of any structural materials which are applied in the nuclear power plant.
Fuel Cell & Water Electrolysis
Hydrogen energy is a promising candidate for renewable energy. In our fuel cell group, we try to enhance the efficiency including of fuel cells and water electrolysis by means of catalyst properties and other cell components. Indicators for quantitative analysis including current density, power density and Tafel slope.
