The research for incubation period, mycelial density, day required for primordial formation after inoculation(below DPI), number of valid stipes, individual weight and accumulation amounts of organic selenium for P. cornucopiae by treating 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000(${\mu}g/50g$) of $Na_2SeO_3$ is following. Incubation periods of P. cornucopiae are 25~30 days per each treatment with $Na_2SeO_3$. Compared to the control which took 22 days of incubation period, it is increased 3 or 8 days for the treatment of $600{\sim}1000{\mu}g/50g$. Mycelial density of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 600 and $1000{\mu}g/50g$ is very similar with control. DPI of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 600 and $1000{\mu}g/50g$ was increased 3 or 8 days. Number of valid stipes of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 600 and $1000{\mu}g/50g$ was between 10 and 16. It was decreased 2 or 8 as compared to 18 of control. Individual weight of P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 600 and $1000{\mu}g/50g$ was between 94 and 116g/850cc. It was decreased 5.7~23.5% as compared to 123g/850cc of the control. Accumulation amount of organic selenium for P. cornucopiae treated with $Na_2SeO_3$ between 600 and $1000{\mu}g/50g$ was $9.1{\sim}10.8{\mu}g/g/dry$. It was increased 182~216 times as the concentration increased when compared to $0.05{\mu}g/g/dry$ of the control. In conclusion, incubation period, mycelial density, DPI, number of valid stipes, individual weight and accumulation amounts of organic selenium for P. cornucopiae by treating $600{\sim}1000{\mu}g/g$ of $Na_2SeO_3$ was decreased. So that the optimal treatment was less $400{\mu}g/g$ than $600{\sim}1000{\mu}g/g$.

We fabricated CdSe-sensitized photoelectrochemical solar cell by depositing CdSe nanoparticles on nanoporous $TiO_2$ (np-$TiO_2$) via spray pyrolysis deposition method. By adjusting the amount of CdSe-sensitizer deposited on np-$TiO_2$, we can fabricate an efficient CdSe-sensitized solar cell (${\eta}$ = 3.0% under 1 sun irradiation) in polysulfide liquid electrolyte.

In this paper, the effect of MoSe₂ on the contact resistance (R_C) of the transparent conducting oxide (TCO) and Mo junction in the scribed P2 region of the Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) solar module was analyzed. The CIGS/Mo junction becomes ohmic-contact by MoSe₂, so the formation of the MoSe₂ layer is essential. However, the CIGS solar module has a TCO/MoSe₂/Mo junction in the P2 region due to structural differences from the cell. The contact resistance (R_C) of the P2 region was calculated using the transmission line method, and MoSe₂ was confirmed to increase R_C of the TCO/Mo junction. B doped ZnO (BZO) was used as TCO, and when BZO/MoSe₂ junction was formed, conduction band offset (CBO) of 0.6 eV was generated due to the difference in their electron affinities. It is expected that this CBO acts as a carrier transport barrier that disturbs the flow of current, resulting in increased R_C. In order to reduce the R_C caused by CBO, MoSe₂ must be made thin in a CIGS solar module.

The ZnO is able to produce hydrogen from water however it can only absorb ultraviolet region due to its 3.37eV of wide band gap. Therefore efficiency of solar hydrogen production is low. In this work we report investigation results of improved visible light photo-catalytic properties of CdSe quantum dots(QDs) sensitized ZnO nanorod heterostructures. Hydrothermally vertically grown ZnO nanorod arrays on FTO glass were sensitized with CdSe by using SILAR(successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction) method. Morphology of grown ZnO and CdSe sensitized ZnO nanorods had been investigated by FE-SEM that shows length of $2.0{\mu}m$, diameter of 120~150nm nanorod respectively. Photocatalytic measurements revealed that heterostructured samples show improved photocurrent density under the visible light illumination. Improved visible light performance of the heterostructures is resulting from narrow band gap of the CdSe and its favorable conduction band positions relative to potentials of ZnO band and water redox reaction.

$TiO_{2}$/Se : Te heterojunction for color sensor has been fabricated by RF reactive sputtering and thermal evaporation methods onto glass substrate. The optimum deposition condition of $TiO_{2}$ films was such that RF power was 120 W, substrate temperature was $100^{\circ}C$, oxygen concentration was 50%, working pressure was 50 mTorr for the $TiO_{2}$ film thickness of $1000{\AA}$. In this case, the optical transmittance of $TiO_{2}$ film at 550 nm-wavelength was 85%, resistivity was $2{\times}10^9{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, refractive index was 2.3, and optical bandgap was 3.58 eV. The composition ratio of 0 to Ti by AES analysis was 1.7. When $TiO_{2}$ films were annealed at $400^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. in $O_{2}$ ambient, the optical transmittance of $TiO_{2}$ films at the wavelength range of $300{\sim}580$ nm was improved from 0 to 25%. When Se : Te films were annealed at $190^{\circ}C$ for 1 min., photosensitivity under illumination of 1000 lux was 0.75. The optical bandgap of Se : Te films was 1.7 eV. The structures of Se : Te films were the hexagonal with (100) and (110) orientation. The spectral response of a-Se was improved by the addition of Te, especially in the long wavelength region. The $TiO_{2}$/Se : Te heterojunction showed wide spectral response, and more improved one than that of a-Si film in the blue light region.

In this work we report investigation results of enhanced visible light photocatalytic properties of CdS and CdSe sensitized $TiO_2$ nanotube heterostructures. Anodically grown ordered $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays were sensitized with CdS and CdSe by using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method. Photocatalytic measurements revealed that heterostructured samples show enhanced photocurrent density under the visible light illumination. Improved visible light performance of the heterostuctures was explained by lower band gap of the CdS and CdSe and their favorable conduction band positions relative to $TiO_2$. Moreover, due to the lower band gap of the CdSe (1.7 eV) compared to CdS (2.4 eV), both photocurrent density and photoconversion efficiency results showed superior activity.

The highest diffraction efficiency(DE) value after illumination and post-curing of photopolymer films were obtained at the $SeO_2$/Acrylamide(AA) Ratios of AA 3.0 g, $SeO_2$ 1.0g and the DE's were stable values of over 90%. By the addition of $SeO_2$, the maximum DE at the initial stage of illumination was reached at 300 seconds, which suggests $SeO_2$ slows down the photopolymerization of AA, which enhances the maximum DE value by giving more migration time. DE variation curve for the optimum composition during extended-time illumination of 9,000 seconds resembles a sine curve due to the combination of the monomer diffusion and the photopolymerization, and the photopolymer film expanded by about 8% after photopolymerization due to monomer migration.

In this study, an experiment and a reaction characteristic study were conducted to enhance the reaction activity of V₂O₅/WO₃/TiO₂ at 300 ℃ or less by adding selenium to the support, in a selective catalytic reduction method using ammonia as a reducing agent to remove nitrogen oxides. Se-TiO₂ and TiO₂ were synthesized using the sol-gel method, and used as a support when preparing V₂O₅/WO₃/TiO₂ and V₂O₅/WO₃/Se-TiO₂ catalysts. The reaction activity of our catalyst was compared with that of a commercial catalyst. The denitration efficiency of the catalyst using TiO₂ prepared by the sol-gel method was lower than that of the catalyst prepared using commercial TiO₂, but was improved by the addition of selenium. Thus, the effect of selenium addition on the catalyst structure was analyzed using BET, XRD, Raman, H₂-TPR, and FT-IR measurements and the effect of the increase in specific surface area by selenium addition and the formation of monomer and complex vanadium species on reaction characteristics were confirmed.
