Here we report improved photo-catalytic effect of $Ag_2S$ under visible light using carbon nano-tubes (CNT) modified with $Ag_2S$ nanoparticles. The optical properties, structural properties and compositional analysis, as well as the photo-electrochemical properties of the prepared composites were investigated. It was found that the photocurrent density, and the photo-catalytic effect, was increased by modification of CNT in this way. Compared with the separate effects of $Ag_2S$ and CNT nanoparticles, the photocatalytic effect of CNT-modified-with-$Ag_2S$ composites, increased significantly due to a synergistic effect between the CNT and the $Ag_2S$ nanoparticles.

티타늄 금속판을 수증기 산화하여 만든 Ti$O_{2-x}$ 박막과 Ti$O_2$ 단결정을 알곤기체속에서 환원한 시료를 사용하여 이들의 광전기화학적 성질을 연구하였다. 1M NaOH전해질 용액에서 Ti$O_{2-x}$ 전극에 200~800nm 사이의 광을 조사하였을 때 자외부 영역에서는 320nm에서, 가시부 영역에서는 520nm, 620nm 그리고 740nm에서 전류의 peak가 나타났다. 이미 보고된 것과는 대조적으로 가시부 영역의 이들 peak는 grating monochromator의 2차선의 영향에 의하여 나타난 것임이 밝혀졌다.

One dimensional(1D) $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ nanorods with 70 nm in diameter was synthesized by a molten salt method. Using the synthesized nanorods, about 750 nm thick $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ film was coated on Fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO) glasss substrate by the Layer-by-layer self-assembly(LBL-SA) method in which a repetitive self-assembling of ions containing an opposite electric charge in an aqueous solution was utilized. Using the Kubelka-Munk function, the band gap energy of the 1D-$Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ nanorods was nalyzed to be 3.5 eV. On the other hand, the band gap energy of the $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ film coated on FTO was found to be a reduced value of 2.9 eV, resulting from the nano-scale and high porosity of the film processed by LBL-SA method, which was favorable for the photo absorption capability. A significant improvement of photocurrent and onset voltage was observed with the $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ film incorporated into the conventional $Fe_2O_3$ photoelectrode: the photocurrent increased from 0.25 to 0.82 mA/$cm^2$, the onset voltage decreased from 0.95 to 0.78 V.

티타늄 금속판을 공기산화와 수증기 산화하여 만든 Ti$O_{2-x}$ 박막을 시료로 사용하여 1M NaOH 용액에서 광전기화학적 성질을 연구하였다. 높은 온도에서 제조된 Ti$O_{2-x}$ 전극들은 낮은 온도에서 제조된 전극들보다 더 음의 값으로 주어지는 flat band potential($V_{fb}$)과 더 높은 donor density($N_D$)를 가졌다. 전극전위의 변화에 따른 광전류 측정과 Mott-Schottky plot로부터 얻은 $V_{fb}$는 -0.95 ∼ -1.1 V 사이에서 비슷한 값으로 주어졌다. 자외부 영역의 광을 완전히 차단하는 TiO2 단결정을 필터로 하여 가시부 영역의 광전류를 측정할 때 분해능이 좋은 slit를 사용한 경우 좋은 sub band gap 광반응을 볼 수 있었다.

We have investigated the effect of the number of ethylene oxide (EO) units inside poly(ethylene glycol)dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) on the ionic conductivity of its gelled polymer electrolyte, whose content ranges from 50 to 80 wt%. PEGDMA gelled polym er electrolytes, a crosslinked structure, were prepared using simple photo-induced radical polymerization by ultraviolet light. The effect of the number of EO on the ionic conductivity was clearly shown in samples of lower liquid electrolyte content. We have concluded that the ionic conductivity increased in proportion to both the number of EO units and the plasticizer content. We have also studied the electrochemical properties of 13PEGDMA (number of EO units is 13) gelled polymer electrolyte.

Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films have attracted a lot of attention as a cheap transparent conducting oxide (TCO) material that can replace the expensive Sn-doped In2O3. In particular, AZO thin films are widely used as a window layer of chalcogenide-based thin film solar cells such as Cu(In,Ga)Se2 and Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS). Mostly important requirements for the window layer material of the thin film solar cells are the high transparency and the low sheet resistance, because they influence the light absorption by the activelayer and the electron collection from the active layer, respectively. In this study, we prepared the AZO thin films by RF magnetron sputtering using a ZnO/Al2O3 (98：2wt%) ceramic target, and the effect of the sputtering condition such as the working pressure, RF power, and the working distance on the optical, electrical, and crystallographic properties of the AZO thin films was investigated. The AZO thin films with optimized properties were used as a window layer of CZTS thin film solar cells. The CZTS active layers were prepared by the electrochemical deposition and the subsequent sulfurization process, which is also one of the cost-effective synthetic approaches. In addition, the solar cell properties of the CZTS thin film solar cells, such as the photocurrent density-voltage (J-V) characteristics and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) were investigated.

티타늄 금속판을 양극산화하여 제조한 $TiO_2$ 박막을 전극으로 사용하여 1M NaOH 용액에서 광전기화학적 성질을 연구하였다. $TiO_2$ 전극들의 flatband potential은 대략 -0.8V 정도로 이들 값은 단결정 $TiO_2$에서 보다 0.2V만큼 양전위 방향으로 이동되어 나타났다. 순환 전압 전류법에 의한 산소의 환원전위는 SCE에 대해 -0.95V 근처에서 나타났으며, 반응은 전체적으로 비가역적으로 진행되었다. 또한 전극의 광전류는 단결정 $TiO_2$에서 보다 더 단파장에서 나타났으며 전류밀도는 감소되었다.

To develop photo-sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) used in harvesting sunlight and transferring solar energy into electricity, we synthesize novel Ru(II) polypyridyl dyes and describe their characterization. We also investigate the photo-electrochemical properties of DSCs using these sensitizers. New dyes contain chromophore unit of dafo (4,5-diazafluoren-9-one) or phen-dione (1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione) instead of the nonchromophoric donor unit of thiocyanato ligand in cis-[RuII(dcbpy)2(NCS)2] (dcbpy = 4,4'-dicarboxy- 2,2'-bipyridine) coded as N3 dye. For example, the photovoltaic data of DSCs using [RuII(dcbpy)2(dafo)](CN)2 as a sensitizer show 6.85 mA/cm2, 0.70 V, 0.58 and 2.82% in short-circuit current (Jsc ), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (Eff), which can be compared with those of 7.90 mA/ cm2, 0.70 V, 0.53 and 3.03% for N3 dye. With the same chelating ligand directly bonded to the Ru metal in the complex, the CN ligand increases the Jsc value by double, compared to the SCN ligand. The extra binding ability in these new dyes makes them more resistant against ligand loss and photo-induced isomerization within octahedral geometry.

바이오 분자의 고정 링커로 전기전도도가 높은 방향족 공액구조의 4-(2-(4-(acetylthio)phenyl)ethynyl)benzoic acid (APBA) 분자를 합성한 후, APBA 자기조립 단분자막을 제작하였다. 제작한 APBA 자기조립 단분자막의 구조를 분석하였고, 페로센으로 고정화시킨 APBA의 자기조립 단분자막의 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 부탄티올 단분자막에 APBA를 삽입시켜 혼합 단분자막을 제조하여 XPS로 금 기판에 대한 혼합 단분자막의 수직 배향성을 조사하였다. 또한, APBA 혼합 시간에 따른 APBA와 부탄티올(BT) 혼합 단분자막에 페로센을 고정화하여 전기화학적 산화 환원 특성을 조사하였다. 혼합 단분자막의 전기화학적 활성은 혼합 시간의 증가에 따라 증가하였고, 부탄티올 단분자막 기판을 APBA 용액에 36 h 침지시켰을 때 가장 높은 페로센 분자의 산화 환원 전류값을 얻었다.
