The catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide has been studied for the fixation of carbon dioxide to mitigate global warming problems, but it needed hydrogen, which the price is still high. Recently, the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide has been drawn attractions because carbon dioxide could be converted to the valuable chemicals such as methane, ethane and alcohols electrochemically in the electrolyte solution using a catalytic electrode. This system is simple because the water electrolysis and hydrogenation take place at the same time using the surplus electricity at midnight. In this work, a continuous electrochemical reduction system was fabricated, which was composed of the reduction electrode (copper or perovskite type, $2{\times}2cm^2$), reference electrode(platinum, $2{\times}6cm^2$), standard electrode(Ag/AgCl), and potassium bicarbonate electrolyte solution saturated with carbon dioxide. The quality and quantity of the products and reduction current were analyzed, according to the electrolyte concentration and electrode type.

본 연구는 초고온 열처리 과정에서 멀티레이어 투명전극 박막의 고내열성, 고신뢰성을 얻기 위해 보호층을 삽입한 연구이다. 먼저 보호층의 고내열 효과를 알아보기 위해 보호층을 삽입한 박막과 그렇지 않은 박막을 200, 300, 400, 500, $550^{\circ}C$로 각각 열처리하여 비교하였다. 보호층을 삽입하지 않은 박막은 $500^{\circ}C$에서 멀티레이어 박막이 응집하여 전기적 광학적 특성이 저하되었다. 반면, 보호층을 삽입한 박막은 $550^{\circ}C$에서도 투과율 (%T) 89.5% (at 550nm wavelength), 면저항 $3.5{\Omega}/sq$로 투명전극으로서 뛰어난 특성을 보였다. 또한 고신뢰성을 확인하기 위해 상대습도 85%, 온도 $85^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 120시간 동안 항온항습 테스트를 수행하였다. 보호층이 없는 투명전극의 박막은 산화가 일어나 전기적 광학적 특성이 저하 되었으나, 보호층을 삽입한 투명전극의 박막은 전기적 광학적 특성의 변화가 거의 없는 것으로 확인되어 본 멀티레이어 투명전극에서 보호층의 핵심적인 효과를 입증할 수 있었다.

격자전극을 가진 질화탄소막을 이용하여 새로운 습도센서를 개발하였다. 결정성 질화탄소막의 감습 특성을 조사하고, 광범위한 상대습도($10%\sim90%$)에 대해 민감한 임피던스와 커패시턴스 의존도를 보였다. 특히 격자전극은 습기의 자유로운 흡 탈착을 용이 하게 하여 센서의 히스테리시스를 줄였다. 또한, 질화탄소막은 물리, 화학적으로 안정한 물질이므로 고온, 고습 및 화학적으로 열악한 환경 속에서도 뛰어난 특성 을 나타내었다.

The response characteristics of the bioelectrode developed by the co-immobilization of black goat liver tissue and ferrocene in a carbon paste matrix for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. In the range of electrode potential examined ($-0.3{\sim}+0.0\;V$ vs. Ag/AgCl), the response time was relatively short (t95%=12 s) and it responded in the wide range of pH. The detection limit was 2.25${\times)10^{-6}M$ and a relative standard deviation of the measurements which were repeated 15 times using 1.0${\times}10^{-2 }$M hydrogen peroxide was 1.87%. The bioelectrode sensitivity decreased to 50% of the original value in 19 days of continuous use.

In this paper, characteristics of the DC flashover voltage in the horizontal air gap of sphere-sphere/needle-needle electrode system were investigated when the combustion flame of paraffin oil was present between the two electrodes. The reduction characteristic of DC flashover voltage was discussed with the thermal ionization process, the relative air density and the deflection phenomena in the shape of flames that caused by the corona wind and Coulomb's force. As the results of an experimental investigation, It was found that the reduction characteristics of DC flashover voltages with flames were affected strongly by the flame deflection and the change of relative air density. It was also found that the thermal ionization phenomena were not important in the range of combustion flame temperature.

In order to increase the energy conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we employed a counter electrode that was platinum coated using a doctor blade technique on synthesized ZnO nanostructures on fluorinedoped tin oxide (FTO). The ZnO nanostructures possessing high electrochemical activity and large surface area of the counter electrode were grown by a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method at various times, 2, 4, and 8 h. The efficiency of DSSC with the Pt-ZnO counter electrode was improved 7.01% (grown for 2 h), 7.63% (grown for 4 h), and 6.13% (grown for 8 h), respectively. Compared with a standard DSSC without ZnO nanostructures, whose efficiency was 6.27%, the energy conversion efficiency increased approximately 22% for the DSSC with the Pt-ZnO (grown for 4 h) electrode. It indicates that the Pt coated on the ZnO nanostructure improves the electrocatalytic activity of the counter electrode.

Cost effectiveness is an important parameter for producing DSSCs as compared to the widely used conventional silicon based solar cells. A fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate coated with a catalytic amount of platinum is used as counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cell. Carbonaceous materials are quite attractive to replace platinum due to their high electronic conductivity, corrosion resistance towards $I_{2}$, good catalytic effect and low cost. In this paper, the unit DSSCs with Pt and CNT as a counter electrode were connected in series-parallel externally, then the current-voltage curves were investigated to find out the connection characteristics of the DSSC with CNT counter electrode. The connection characteristics of the DSSC with CNT counter electrode is superior to that of the DSSC with Pt counter electrode. And a parallel connection of the DSSC with CNT counter electrode has higher efficiency than a series connection of that.
