Abstract: In a method for effectively depositing an anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation material, such as silicon dioxide, on high-temperature components of a gas turbine, including blades rotating at a high speed during the operation of the gas turbine, an organic compound including a metal ingredient, such as silicon, is added to a fuel for the gas turbine, such as LNG, diesel or kerosene, or the organic compound is sprayed into combustion air so that the organic compound can burn together with the fuel, in order to improve the durability of the high-temperature components. Silicon dioxide, produced by burning a silicon organic compound together with the fuel, is uniformly deposited on all the high-temperature components of the gas turbine, which are exposed to the combustion gas of a high temperature, thus forming an anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation coating layer of a thickness of several to several tens of ?m on the high-temperature components during the operation of the gas turbine.

The apparatus includes a thyristor or transistor having an anode and a cathode connected both terminals of the secondary battery respectively, and shorting both terminals of the secondary battery when gate current is supplied, and a temperature sensor detecting temperature of the secondary battery and supplying the gate current to the thyristor or transistor when the detected temperature is higher than predetermined temperature.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing an electrochemical device, comprising the steps of: charging an electrochemical device using an electrode active material having a gas generation plateau potential in a charging period to an extent exceeding the plateau potential; and degassing the electrochemical device. An electrochemical device, which comprises an electrode active material having a gas generation plateau potential in a charging period, and is charged to an extent exceeding the plateau potential and then degassed, is also disclosed. Some electrode active materials provide high capacity but cannot be applied to a high-capacity battery due to the gas generation. This is because a battery using such electrode active materials should be charged to an extent exceeding the gas generation plateau potential in order to realize a high capacity. To solve the problems caused by the gas generation, the battery is charged to an extent exceeding the plateau potential, and then degassed.

Also, disclosed is an electrochemical device comprising the electrode active material activated by the pretreatment method and designed to be subjected to charge/discharge cycles at a voltage lower than the potential plateau. When the electrode active material pretreated by charging it to an extent exceeding the potential plateau is subjected to charge/discharge cycles at a lower voltage, it is possible to significantly increase the capacity of the electrode active material as compared to the capacity of the non-pretreated electrode active material charged/discharged at the same voltage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a secondary battery having a constant-voltage device for preventing the secondary battery from being excessively overcharged. The breakdown voltage of the constant-voltage device is lower than the explosion or ignition voltage of the secondary battery, so the discharge operation may occur before the secondary battery is exploded or ignited even if the voltage of the secondary battery rises above the overcharge voltage, thereby protecting the secondary battery from explosion or ignition. The leakage current value of the constant-voltage device is less than 0.05% of the capacity value of the secondary battery under the maximum charge voltage of the secondary battery, or the breakdown voltage of the constant-voltage device is higher than the maximum charge voltage of the secondary battery. Thus, the constant-voltage device rarely generates the leakage current even if the secondary battery has been charged with the maximum charge voltage.
