In this study, the basic research verifying possibility of applications as radiology image sensor in Digital Radiography was performed, the radiology image sensor was fabricated using double layer technique tio decrease dark current. High efficiency material in substitution for a-Se have been studied as a direct method of imaging detector in Digital Radiography to decrease dark current by using Hetero junction already used as solar cell, semiconductor. Particle-In-Binder method is used to fabricate radiology image sensor because it has a lot of advantages such as fabrication convenient, high yield, suitability for large area sensor. But high leakage current is one of main problem in PIB method. To make up for the weak points, double layer technique is used, and it is considered that high efficient digital radiation sensor can be fabricated with easy and convenient process. In this study, electrical properties such as leakage current, sensitivity is measured to evaluate double layer radiation sensor material.

투명 전극은 유기 발광소자, 태양전지, 센서와 같은 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있으며, indium-tin-oxide(ITO)는 현재 다양한 소자의 투명 전극으로 가장 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 높은 가격과 유연성이 좋지 않은 ITO 소재를 대체하는 기술로 현재 금속 나노와이어를 사용하려는 시도가 진행되고 있다. 금속 나노 와이어 투명전극은 높은 전도성, 높은 광학적 투과율, 간단한 공정, 우수한 유연성 및 열 안정성의 장점을 가지고 있어 플렉서블 소자에 응용 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금속 나노와이어 투명전극 기판 제작 방법과 이를 이용한 유기 쌍안정 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성을 관찰하였다. 세척한 PET 기판 위에 금속 나노와이어를 스핀코팅 방법으로 분산하고, 그 위에 금속 나노와이어의 표면 거칠기와 전도성을 증진하기 위해 PEDOT:PSS 층을 스핀코팅하여 플렉서블 투명전극을 제작하였다. 플렉서블 금속 나노와이어 투명전극 기판을 하부 전극으로 사용하고, 그 위에 금 나노입자가 포함된 유기물 층을 다시 한번 스핀코팅 방식으로 적층하였다. 마지막으로 알루미늄 상부 전극을 열 증착하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 이렇게 제작된 소자의 전류-전압 측정 결과는 높은 전도도와 낮은 전도도의 차이를 갖는 전기적 특성을 확인할 수 있다.

For the polymer tandem cell, simple and advantaged solution-based method to electron transport intermediate layer is presented which are composed $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Device were based on a regioregular Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl $C_{61}$ butyric acid methyl ester($PC_{60}BM$) blend as a donor and acceptor bulk-heterojunction. For the middle electrode interlayer, the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were well dispersed in ethanol solution and formed thin layer on the P3HT:PCBM charge separation layer by spin coating. The layer serves as the electron transport layer and divides the polymer tandem solar cell. The open-circuit voltage (Voc) for the polymer tandem solar cells was closed to the sum of those of individual cells.

분포 브래그 반사기(distributed Bragg reflector; DBR)는 광센서, 도파로, 태양전지, 반도체 레이저 다이오드, 광검출기와 같은 고성능 광 및 광전소자 응용분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로, DBR은 박막의 두께를 4분의 1 파장(${\lambda}/4$)으로 가지는 서로 다른 저굴절율 물질과 고굴절율 물질을 교대로 적층 (pair)한 다중 pair로 제작되어지며, DBR의 반사 특성과 반사대역폭은 두 물질의 굴절율 차이와 pair의 수에 영향을 받는다. 그러나, 서로 다른 굴절율을 갖는 두 물질을 이용하는 DBR의 경우, 두 물질간 열팽창계수의 불일치, 접착력 문제, 높은 굴절율 차이를 갖는 물질 선택의 어려움 등 많은 문제점을 지니고 있다. 최근, 경사입사각증착법을 이용한 동일 재료(예, 인듐 주석 산화물, 게르마늄, 실리콘)기반의 DBR 제작 및 특성에 대한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 높은 입사각을 갖고 박막이 증착될 경우, 저율을 갖는 다공박막 제작이 가능하여 경사입사각증착법으로 homogeneous 물질 기반의 고반사 특성을 갖는 다중 pair의 DBR을 제작할 수 있다. 본 실험은, 갈륨비소 기판 위에 경사입사각증착법 및 전자빔증착법을 이용하여 중심파장 960 nm가 되는 이산화 티타늄 기반의 DBR을 제작하였고, 제작된 샘플의 증착된 박막의 표면 및 단면의 프로파일은 주사전자현미경을 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-Vis-NIR 스펙트로미터를 이용하여 반사율 특성을 조사하였다.

To overcome the theoretical efficiency of single-junction solar cells (> 30 %), tandem solar cells (or multi-junction solar cells) is considered as a strong nominee because of their excellent light utilization. Organic-inorganic halide perovskite has been regarded as a promising candidate material for next-generation tandem solar cell due to not only their excellent optoelectronic properties but also their bandgap-tune-ability and low-temperature process-possibility. As a result, they have been adopted either as a wide-bandgap top cell combined with narrow-bandgap silicon or CuIn_xGa_(1-x)Se₂ bottom cells or for all-perovskite tandem solar cells using narrow- and wide-bandgap perovskites. To successfully transition perovskite materials from for single junction to tandem, substantial efforts need to focus on fabricating the high quality wide- and narrow-bandgap perovskite materials and semi-transparent electrode/recombination layer. In this paper, we present an overview of the current research and our outlook regarding perovskite-based tandem solar technology. Several key challenges discussed are: 1) a wide-bandgap perovskite for top-cell in multi-junction tandem solar cells; 2) a narrow-bandgap perovskite for bottom-cell in all-perovskite tandem solar cells, and 3) suitable semi-transparent conducting layer for efficient electrode or recombination layer in tandem solar cells.

고체산화물연료전지(SOFC)는 연료가 갖는 화학에너지를 연소과정 없이, 공기와 $H_2$, CO, $CH_4$와 같은 환원성 가스를 공급받아 $700^{\circ}C-850^{\circ}C$에서 전기화학적 반응을 통하여 직접 전기를 얻는 방식이다. SOFC는 여러장의 단위 셀을 적층하여 스택을 구성하는데, 스택 제조시 단전지에 공급되는 산화, 환원 가스의 누출이나 흡입을 막기 위하여 밀봉재를 사용한다. 이러한 밀봉재는 완벽한 밀봉, 열에 대한 안정성, 충격에 견디는 저항성 등의 기계적인 특성 및 구성요소와의 최소한의 열팽창계수차를 가져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $SiO_2-R_2O_3$-RO계에서 $R_2O_3$, RO의 변화에 따른 밀봉 특성 및 열팽창계수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of the passivation stack with Al₂O₃, hydrogenated silicon nitride (SiN_x:H) stack and Al₂O₃, silicon oxynitride (SiON_x) stack in the n type bifacial solar cell on monocrystalline silicon. SiNx:H and SiON_x films were deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on the Al₂O₃ thin film deposited by thermal atomic layer deposition. We focus on passivation properties of the two stack structure after laser ablation process in order to improve bifaciality of the cell. Our results showed SiN_x:H with Al₂O₃ stack is 10 mV higher in implied open circuit voltage and 60 ㎲ higher in minority carrier lifetime than SiON_x with Al₂O₃ stack at Ni silicide formation temperature for 1.8% open area ratio. This can be explained by hydrogen passivation at the Al₂O₃/Si interface and Al₂O₃ layer of laser damaged area during annealing.

In this paper, commercial CFD program FLUENT v5.3 is used for simulation of MCFC stack. Besides using conservation equations included in FLUENT by default, mass change, mole fraction change and heat added or removed due to electrochemical reactions and water gas shift reaction are considered by adding several equations using user defined function. The stacks calculated are 6 and 25 kW class coflow stack which are composed of 20 and 40 unit cells respectively. Simulation results showed that pressure drop took place in the direction of gas flow, and the pressure drop of cathode side is more larger than that of anode side. And the velocity of cathode gas decreased along with the gas flow direction, but the velocity of anode gas increased because of the mass and volume changes by the chemical reactions in each electrodes. Simulated temperature profile of the stack tended to increase along with the gas flow direction and it showed similar results with the experimental data. Water gas shift reaction was endothermic at the gas inlet side but it was exothermic at the outlet side of electrode respectively. Therefore water gas shift reaction played a role in increasing temperature difference between inlet and outlet side of stack. This results suggests that the simulation of large scale commercial stacks need to consider water gas shift reaction.

Electron recombinations in electrolyte solution reduce light-to-energy conversion efficiency at the nanoporous electrode surface of dye sensitized solar cells. In this study, we improved the conversion efficiency using an energy barrier at the nanoporous electrode surface to control the recombination process. The energy barrier was formed by coating nanoporous $TiO_2$ electrode with $Nb_2O_5$ material. We investigated the influence of energy barrier on the cell efficiency depending on the coating thickness. Nanoporous $TiO_2$ electrode was coated about 5 nm thickness by 12 times coatings, and so the coating layer was grown about 0.417 nm for every time. Enhancement of conversion efficiency from 2.55% to 4.25% was achieved at 0.834 nm coating thickness, and it was believed as the optimum thickness for minimizing the electron recombination process in our experimental system.
