본 연구에서는 최근 다양한 전자 소자로써의 연구가 진행되고 있는 그라핀을 실리콘 기판위에 전자빔 식각(Electron-Beam Lithography)을 이용하여 TLM (Transfer Length Method) 패턴을 형성하고 가스 유입이 가능한 진공 챔버를 가지는 Probe Station을 이용하여 I-V 변화를 측정함으로써, 그라핀을 가스 센서 소자로서의 가능성을 연구하였다. 우리는 기존의 광식각을 이용한 TLM 패턴 형성과 더불어 전자빔 식각(E-Beam Lithography: EBL)을 이용한 TLM 패턴을 형성하여 I-V를 측정하였는데, 전자빔을 이용한 TLM 패턴의 형성은 광식각을 이용한 방법에 비해 더 세밀하고 미세한 패턴을 형성하는 것이 가능하다. 이렇게 형성된 그라핀의 TLM패턴은 가스 유량 조절이 가능한 진공 챔버를 가지는 Probe Station을 이용하여 측정하게 되는데, 이 때 저진공 상태의 챔버 내로 N2, H2 두 종류의 가스를 각각 유량을 변화시키며 주입하고 그 변화를 측정하였다. 유입된 가스는 그라핀의 Dangling Bond에 결합됨으로써 그라핀의 전도도를 변화시키게 되고, 변화된 그라핀의 전도도에 따른 I-V 결과의 변화를 측정하여 이를 가스 센서로 사용할 수 있는지를 측정하였다. 또한 유입되는 가스의 유량 변화에 따른 I-V 결과의 변화량을 통하여 가스 센서의 민감도 또한 측정하였다.

The ring formation and electronic properties of furan adsorbed on graphene layers grown on 6H-SiC (0001) has been investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectra for the C K-edge, and core level photoemission spectroscopy (CLPES). Moreover, we observed that furan molecules adsorbed on graphene could be used for chemical functionalization via the lone pair electrons of the oxygen group, allowing chemical doping. We also found that furan spontaneously form rings with one of three different bonding configurations and the electronic properties of the ring formed by furan on graphene can be described using by AFM, NEXAFS and CLPES, respectively.

Cation exchange membrane (Nafion) was modified to reduce the vanadium ion permeation through the membrane and to increase the vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) system performance by coating the graphene oxide (GO) which has nano-plate like morphology. Modified membrane properties were studied by measuring the ion exchange capacity (I.E.C), water uptake and proton conductivity. The thickness of the coated layer on the surface of the Nafion membrane was observed as $0.93{\mu}m$ by SEM. Proton conductivity and vanadium ion permeability of the modified membrane were decreased to 27% and 25% compared to that of the commercial Nafion membrane respectively. VRB single cell performance test was performed to compare the system performance of the VRB applied with commercial Nafion membrane and modified membrane. VRB system applied with modified membrane showed higher coulombic efficiency and energy efficiency than the VRB system applied with the commercial Nafion membrane due to the reduction of the vanadium ion permeation. From these result, we could suggest that the membrane modification by coating the GO on the surface of the Nafion membrane could be one of the promising strategies to reduce the vanadium ion permeation and to increase the VRB system performance effectively.

고분자 전해질 연료전지용 분리판은 가격비와 중량비가 높아 부품 가격 및 중량을 낮출 경우 파급 효과가 높을 것으로 예상된다. 일반적인 금속판들은 연료전지 스택 내의 산성 분위기에서 존재하므로 표면 부식이 쉽게 발행한다. 본 연구에서는 연료전지의 사용환경을 고려하여 금속판의 부식방지 및 표면특성 향상을 위해 그라핀을 코팅하였으며, 연료전지 스택 내부와 유사한 산화성 분위기를 모사하여 전기화학적 특성을 분석하였다.

The material with superior biocompatibility and physical-chemical stability is required to fabricate high sensitive biosensors. Many kinds of biomaterials have been evaluated to apply for bioindustry. Recently, carbon based diamond and graphene thin films have been focal pointed as bio applications and their possibility is partially evaluated. Diamond thin film has many advantages for electrochemical and biological applications, such as wide potential window (3.0~3.5V), low background current and chemical-physical stability. And graphene film has many advantages as biomaterial, chemical-physical stability and conductivity. In this work, we have cultured human nerve cell (SH-SY5Y) on the nanocrystalline diamond, mirocrystalline diamond, graphene film and cell culture dish. We use MTT assay to evaluate the characteristics of cell culture on the substrates. As a result, nerve cell is well cultured on the carbon based diamond and graphene films as similar as cell culture dish. We expect that carbon materials have been applied for bioindustry such as biosensors.
