In this work, the chemical composition of the exhaust gas from domestic gas boiler has been analysed in the point of thermodynamics and CO sensor has been characterized. We proposed that the combustion condition can be estimated by the exhaust gas composition, i.e., the excess air ratio and combustion temperature can be calculated simply by the measurement of the $O_{2}$ fraction and $H_{2}/CO$ in the exhaust gas. By analyse the on site situation domestic boiler, the excess air ratio is about $55\~110\%$. Therefore, the CO may be produced in domestic gas boiler by luminous(yellow) flames rapidly lose heat by radiation, turbulent flames may be partially quenched by the action of steep velocity gradients, and flames burning very close to a cold wall may be partial1y quenched by heat conductivity to the wall. The output voltage of CO sensor is lineally depend on the CO and $H_{2}$concentration. And the exhaust CO from boiler can be reduced by closed loop control with CO sensor

In this study, a PbS quantum dots (QDs)-based H₂ gas sensor with a Pd electrode was proposed. QDs have a size of several nanometers, and they can exhibit a high surface area when forming a thin film. In particular, the NH₂ present in the ligand of PbS QDs and H₂ gas are combined to form NH₃⁺, subsequently the electrical characteristics of the QDs change. In addition to the resistance change owing to the reaction between Pd and H₂ gas, the resistance change owing to the reaction between the NH₂ of PbS QDs and H₂ gas increases the current signal at the sensor output, which can produce a high output signal for the same concentration of H₂ gas. Using the XRD and absorbance properties, the synthesis and particle size of the synthesized PbS QDs were analyzed. Using PbS QDs, the sensitivity was significantly improved by 44%. In addition, the proposed H₂ gas sensor has high selectivity because it has low reactivity with heterogeneous gases such as C₂H₂, CO₂, and CH₄.

In this study, we studied the effect of $Co^{60}$ gamma-radiation on the FBGs written in photo-sensitive and commercial Ge-doped single-mode optical fibers. The FBGs were exposed to gamma-radiation up to a dose of 17.8 kGy at the dose rate of 300 Gy/min. According to the experimental data and analysis results, the lowest Bragg wavelength shift (18 pm) was obtained by a grating written in photosensitive fiber without $H_2$-loading. Also, we confirmed that the H2 loading process has considerably more influence on the Bragg wavelength shift change under gamma radiation than $GeO_2$ contents in the fiber core.

A structure of a glass electrode-type pH sensor for measuring any concentration of $H^+$ in an aqueous solution was embodied with bulk micromachining technology. Two open well structures were formed, and a reference electrode was secured by the Ag/AgCl thin film in the sloped side of the etched structure. A sensitive membrane of an indicator electrode for generating a potential by an exchange reaction to $H^+$ was made with a glass containing Na 20% or more finely so that its thickness might be $100{\mu}m$ or so, and then it was bonded to one pyramidal structure. A liquid junction for a current path was formed by filling an agar in the anisotropically etched part of the Si wafer, which had a size of $50{\mu}m{\times}50{\mu}m$, and then bonded it to the other. After complete fabrication of each part, it was filled with a 2M KCl reference solution and encapsulated the sensor structure with a cold expoxy. The potential value of fabricated pH sensor was about 90mV/pH in the standard pH solutions.

투명전도 산화막(Transparent conducing oxide: TCO)은 태양 전지, 터치패널, 가스 센서 등 여러 분야에 적용할 수 있는 물질로서 전기 전도성과 광 투과성을 동시에 가진다. 높은 전기 전도성과 광 투과성을 가지는 Sb:$In_2O_3$(ITO)는 투명전도 산화막 재료로써 가장 일반적으로 사용되고 있으나 인듐의 매장량 한계로 인해 가격이 높다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 ITO 대체 TCO 물질인 Al doped ZnO(AZO)를 rf magnetron sputter를 이용하여 최적의 수소 도핑량을 찾아 ITO의 전기적 광학적 성질과 비교하였다. AZO 박막은(ZnO:Al2O3 2wt.%)타겟을 이용하여 heater 온도 250도에서 슬라이드 글래스 및 코닝 글래스에 증착시켰고 비교군인 ITO박막은 (In2O3:$SnO_2$ 10wt.%)타겟을 이용하여 수소 도핑 없이 350도로 증착시켰다. AZO 및 ITO 박막의 전기적 특성은 hall measurement를 이용하여 측정하였고, UV-VIS spectrophotometer로 광학적 특성을 측정하였다. 수소 도핑량이 증가함에 따라 AZO 박막의 캐리어 농도가 증가하여 전기적 특성이 향상되었고, 가시광 영역에서 높은 평균 투과도를 유지 하였다. AZO 박막과 ITO 박막의 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 비교한 결과, 최적 수소 도핑량을 가진 AZO 박막은 ITO 박막에 준하는 특성을 보였다.

A push-pull conjugated dye (DCMP) was covalently immobilized on a silanized glass surface to produce a high sensitivity pH sensor film for operating in the acidic region. A pH-sensitive sensor film was prepared by photo-initiating copolymerization of a modified DCMP (DCMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate on the silanized glass surface. The absorbance of the sensor film increased with increasing pH between pH 2.0 and 5.0, and the fluorescence intensity of the film also increased about 50 times with increasing pH in the same pH range. The sensor film was reversible and reproducible under acidic conditions. The sensor film showed a relatively short response time between 20-50 seconds and high selectivity for proton in the presence of various metal ions.

The response characteristics of the bioelectrode developed by the co-immobilization of spinach root tissue and ferrocene in a carbon paste matrix for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. In the range of electrode potential examined (-0.3~0.0V vs. Ag/AgCl). the response time was relatively short ($t_{95%}=11.8$ sec) and it responded in the wide range of pH. Also, its detection limit was $2.25{\times}10^{-6}M$ (S/N=3) and a relative standard deviation of the measurements which were repeated 15 times using $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ hydrogen peroxide was 1.87%. The bioelectrode sensitivity decreased to 40% of the original value in 19 days of continuous use.

탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotubes)의 우수한 전기적, 물리적 특성으로 인해 트랜지스터, 태양전지, 고감도 센서, 나노 섬유, 고분자-탄소나노튜브 고기능 복합체 등 다양한 분야에서 이를 응용하려는 노력이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 흥미롭게도 탄소나노튜브는 구조적인 특성 (직경, 밀도, 벽의 수)에 따라 각기 다른 비표면적, 열 전도성, 전기 전도성, 접촉각, 전계방출 특성을 지닌다고 보고되고 있다. 따라서 다양한 분야의 응용을 위해서는 구조적인 특성 제어가 핵심적인 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 열화학기상증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition)을 이용하여 수직 정렬된 탄소나노튜브를 합성 하였다. 합성과정에서 압력의 변화가 탄소나노튜브의 밀도와 길이에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였고, 이러한 현상을 이해하기 위해 두 가지의 가능성을 고려하였다. 첫째는 압력의 변화에 따른 촉매의 형성 변화 가능성이며, 둘째는 탄화수소가스의 유입양의 변화에 따른 영향이다. 분석 결과, 동일한 압력에서 탄화수소가스의 부분압을 변화시켜 실험한 결과로부터 탄화수소의 유입양의 변화가 합성된 탄소나노튜브의 밀도에 큰 영향을 미치고 밀도가 높은 경우 길이가 긴 탄소나노튜브가 합성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this work, to detect of hydrogen in DI water in the generator area of nuclear power plants was fabricated Pd/Pt gate MISFET sensor using Pd membrane. $H_2$ permeation through Pd accounts for external mass transfer, surface adsorption and desorption, transitions to and from the bulk metal, and diffusion within the metal. The identification of pinholes in the generator area of plant is an important safety consideration, as hydrogen build-up gives rise to explosion. For this type of application the sensor needs to be isolated in DI water, accordingly, a Pd membrane was used to separate the DI water. The hydrogen in the DI water was then absorbed on the Pd thin film and diffused into the oil through the thin film. The Pd/Pt gate MISFET sensor, encapsulated by oil, will thereby detect permeated hydrogen.

The metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) with external stimuli is one of the main issues in correlated oxides. The physical properties are extremely sensitive to band filling, because the MIT is attributed to the strong correlation between electrons in narrow d-band. Since hydrogen is the smallest and lightest element, it is not only likely to doped reversibly in oxides, but also acts as a dopant to provide electrons. The correlated oxides showing MIT are structurally expanded after hydrogenation, and their electrical properties are drastically changed. Researches on this phenomenon have been actively carried out to date. They are of great scientific importance, and the use of this material is very diverse, including the development of next-generation hydrogen sensor, or hydrogen-based neuromorphic devices.
