In this work, highly uniform size-controlled $Cu_2O$ nanocubes can be successfully formed by means of pulse electrodeposition. The size distribution, crystal structure, and chemical state of deposited $Cu_2O$ nanocubes are characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The phase transition from $Cu_2O$ to Cu can be controlled by constant current electrodeposition as a function of deposition time. In particular, the size of the $Cu_2O$ nanocubes can be controlled using pulse electrodeposition as a function of applied current density.

$Cu_2O$는 초저가 태양전지의 흡수층으로 적용될 수 있는 물질 중 하나로 direct band gap($E_g={\sim}2.1eV$)을 갖고 있으며 최대 650 nm 파장의 빛을 흡수 할 수 있는 높은 흡수율을 가지고 있다. 또한 무독성, 풍부한 매장량으로 낮은 비용 등의 여러 장점을 가지며 간단하고 저렴한 방법으로 대량으로 제작이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 Au가 증착된 $SiO_2/Si$ 기판 위에 전착법을 통해 $Cu_2O$ 박막을 제작하였다. 우리는 용액의 pH와 작업전극에 인가되는 전위, 용액의 온도와 같은 공정조건을 바꾸어주었고 최종적으로 XRD와 SEM 사진 분석을 통해 박막의 특성을 확인하였다.

Assembling heterostructures by combining dissimilar oxide semiconductors is a promising approach to enhance charge separation and transfer in photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. In this work, the CuO nanorods array/$Cu_2O$ thin film bilayered heterostructure was successfully fabricated by a facile method that involved a direct electrodeposition of the $Cu_2O$ thin film onto the vertically oriented CuO nanorods array to serve as the photoelectrode for the PEC water oxidation. The resulting copper-oxide-based heterostructure photoelectrode exhibited an enhanced PEC performance compared to common copper-oxide-based photoelectrodes, indicating good charge separation and transfer efficiency due to the band structure realignment at the interface. The photocurrent density and the optimal photocurrent conversion efficiency obtained on the CuO nanorods/$Cu_2O$ thin film heterostructure were $0.59mA/cm^2$ and 1.10% at 1.06 V vs. RHE, respectively. These results provide a promising route to fabricating earth-abundant copper-oxide-based photoelectrode for visible-light-driven hydrogen generation using a facile, low-cost, and scalable approach of combining electrodeposition and hydrothermal synthesis.

그물구조 다공성 금속을 황산과 황산구리 수용액을 전해질로 사용하여 전기화학적으로 제조하였으며, 이때 균질 전착에 영향을 미치는 구리이온 농도에 대해 살펴보았다. 전해질 중의 황산에 대한 구리이온의 농도비가 감소하면 전해질의 점성이 감소하여 전기전도도의 향상을 가지고 오며, 분극도(polarizability)의 상승을 유발시켜 균일 전류밀도 분포력(throwing power)을 향상시키는 효과를 나타내었다. 그물구조 다공성 금속을 제조하기 위한 최적의 조건은 한계 전류밀도와 균일 전류밀도 분포력을 고려하여 결정되어야 하며, 인가전류가 $10mA/cm^2$일 때 0.2M $CuSO_4\cdot\;5H_2O+0.5\;H_2SO_4$임을 확인하였다.

$SnO_2$ was electrodeposited on nodule-type Cu foil at varing current density and electrodeposition time. Unlike the previous research results, when the anodic current is applied, the $SnO_2$ layer was not electrodeposited and the substrate is corroded. When the cathodic current was applied, the $SnO_2$ layer could be successfully deposited. At this time, the surface microstructure of the powdery type was observed, which showed similar crystallinity to amorphous and had a very large surface area. Crystallinity increased after low-temperature heat treatment at $250^{\circ}C$ or lower. As a result of evaluating the charge/discharge performances as an anode material for lithium ion battery, it was confirmed that the capacity of the heat treated $SnO_2$ was increased more than 2 times, but it still showed a limit point showing initial low coulombic efficiency and low cyclability. However, it was confirmed that the battery performances may be enhanced through optimizing the electrodeposition process and introducing post heat treatment.

Cu₂O films as a photocathode for photoelectrochemical water splitting were potentiostatically deposited on FTO glasses. The morphology and composition of the electrodeposited Cu₂O films were adjusted by the applied potentials. The potential-dependent grain size of Cu₂O films was characterized by XRD and SEM analysis. Photoelectrochemical properties of the fabricated Cu₂O photocathodes were investigated with photocurrents as a function of potentials under 1 sun condition of 100mW/㎠. Photocurrents of the electrodeposited Cu₂O films were controlled with the tailored surface morphologies of Cu₂O photocathodes.

Sn-based lithium-ion batteries have low cost and high theoretical specific capacity. However, one of major problem is the capacity fading caused by volume expansion during lithiation/delithiation. In this study, 3-dimensional foam structure of Cu-Sn alloy is prepared by co-electrodeposition including large free space to accommodate the volume expansion of Sn. The Cu-Sn foam structure exhibits highly porous and numerous small grains. The result of EDX mapping and XPS spectrum analysis confirm that Cu-Sn foam consists of $SnO_2$ with a small quantity of CuO. The Cu-Sn foam structure electrode shows high reversible redox peaks in cyclic voltammograms. The galvanostatic cell cycling performances show that Cu-Sn foam electrode has high specific capacity of 687 mAh/g at a current rate of 50 mA/g. Through SEM observation after the charge/discharge processes, the morphology of Cu-Sn foam structure is mostly maintained despite large volume expansion during the repeated lithiation/delithiation reactions.

p형 자원 친화형 산화물 기반 능동형 층 성장에 대한 연구는 아직 개발 초기 단계이다. $Cu_2O$는 이러한 자원 친화형 저가 p형 산화물 중 하나로서 다양한 광학 응용분야에 있어 적용되고 있으며 특히 저가형 증착법인 전기증착법을 통해 형성시킨다면 가격 절감을 극대화 시킬 수 있다. 하지만 낮은 전도성으로 인해 전자소자에는 적용시키기 어렵다는 단점이 있기 때문에 본 연구팀은 5족 물질인 Antimony 를 $Cu_2O$의 p형 도펀트로 적용시켜 전기적 구조적 특성을 개선시키고자 하였다. 결과적으로 [111] 방향으로 높은 우선배향성을 갖고 전도성이 향상된 Sb-Cu2O 박막을 확인하였다.

We have performed the electrochemical method to fabricate high temperature superconducting (TlPbBi) -(SrBa)-Ca-Cu-O films. The precursors of the superconducting sample were codeposited at a periodic pulsed-potential cycle (1 second at -4V and 1 second at -1V) on a silver substrate. The variation of structure, microstructure and element were analysed by ICP and SEM techniques. The specimens were consisted predominantly of the Tl-1212 phase and have a transition temperature of 80～87 K in low magnetic field. It was showed that each grain has the stoichiometric ratio of $T1_{0.7}$Pb_$Bi_{0.3}$ $_Sr{0.1}$ $Ba_{2.4}$ $Ca_{0.2}$ $Cu_{1.2}$ $2.5/O_{x}$ by EDX analysis.sis.
