An in-line wet etch/cleaning system was established for the research and development in wet etch process as a formation of electrode such as metal or transparent conductive oxide layer. A reverse moving system was equipped in the in-line wet etch/cleaning system for the alternating motion of glass substrate in a wet etch bath of the system. Therefore, it was possible for the glass substrate to be moved back and forth and it was possible to reduce the size of the system by using the reversing moving system. For the effect of the alternating motion of substrate on the etch rate in the in-line wet etch bath, indium tin oxide(ITO) patterns were obtained through wet etch process in the in-line system in which the substrate was moved back and forth. From the CD(critical dimension) skews resulted from the ADI CD and ACI CD of the ITO patterns, it was concluded that the alternating motion of glass substrate are possible to be applied to the mass production of wet etch process.

The effect of pH on the corrosion characteristics in the dissimilar friction welded zone of IN713LC-SCM440 in the loaded torsional stress was studied. The corrosion experiment was performed for 120 hours on the specimens with five steps of pH. The surface corrosion pattern of the SCM440 area showed global corrosion and narrow pitting, which was caused by galvanic corrosion between friction welded IN713LC and SCM440, but corrosion did not proceeded from the IN713LC area. The average relative electrode potential gradually tends to decrease with the elapse of the immersion time in the acidity area. The average corrosion current also gradually tend to decrease The corrosion rate showed a larger value when the average relative electrode potential was higher and the average relative current was lower. The corrosion rate showed a larger value when the average relative electrode potential was higher in the acidity area, and it showed large when the average relative electrode potential was lower in the alkalinity area.

The mesoporous TiO2 film for the dye-sensitized solar cell was prepared by the spin coating using nano particle $TiO_2$ slurry. In order to obtain the good dispersion of nano size $TiO_2$ particles in slurry, the pH of solvent, the sort and quantity of solvent additive and the quantity of surfactant were adjusted. The experimental range of pH was $2\;{\sim}\;4$. The basic solvent for slurry was dilute $HNO_3$ and the solvent additives were ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and butylene glycol. The degree of particle dispersion was indirectly estimated by the viscosity of slurry and the microstructure after sintering. As results, the lower the pH of solvent was the lower the viscosity of the slurry became. The addition of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol to dilute $HNO_3$ brought about the lowering of viscosity and the enhancement of stability in slurry. The addition of surfactant lowered the viscosity of slurry. It was possible to obtain the homogeneous and uniformly dispersed mesoporous TiO2 film using the dilute HNO3 solvent of pH 2 with the addition of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and neutral surfactant.

The surface electronic state of rutile $TiO_2$, which is an oxide semiconductor and has a wide band gap of 3.1 $\sim$ 3.5 eV, was calculated by DV-$X_{\alpha}$ method, which is a sort of the first principle molecular orbital method and uses Hartre-Fock-Slater approximation. The $[Ti_{15}O_{56}]^{-52}$ cluster model was used for the calculation of bulk state and the $[OTi_{11}O_{34}]^{-24}$ model for the surface state calculation. After calculations, the energy level diagrams and the deformation electron density distribution map were compared in both models. As results, it was identified that the surface energy levels are found between the valence and conduction band of bulk $TiO_2$ on the surface area. The energy values of these surface-induced levels are lower than conduction band of bulk $TiO_2$ by 0.1 $\sim$ 1 eV. From this fact, it is expected that the surface energy levels act as donar levels in n-type semiconductor.

Studies on porous oxide electrode, dye and electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells have been intensively carried out until now. However, counter electrode have not been much studied so far. Accordingly, it is needed to investigate new counter electrode materials with superior catalyst property and to substitute for Pt electrode. In this case, carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) are one of alternatives for counter electrodes as following merits: low resistivity, excellent electron emission property, large surface area and low cost due to development of mass production technique. Such advantages gave us to select multiwalled CNTs (MWCNT) as counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cell. Also, cyclic voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate electrochemical properties of both CNT electrode and Pt electrode. It was found that sheet resistance of CNT electrode was similar to that of Pt electrode, also, electrochemical properties of CNT electrode was superior to that of Pt electrode on the basis on the measurement of CV and impedance spectrum. It was found that CNT is likely to be a very promising electrode material for dye solar cells.

This work describes the effect of conducting materials on the electrochemical performances of electric double layer capacitor. Three kinds of Carbon black, such as Acethylene Black, Super P Black, Ketjen black supplied by Denki Kagaku Kogyo, MMM Carbon, Ketjen Black International Co. respectively, was added in carbon-Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) electrode, which composition is activated carbon : carbon black : PTFE = 80 : 15 : 5 wt.%, and were compared with their electrochemical properties. The electrode with Ketjen Black has showed the lowest resistance than other carbon black, and also exhibited the better rate capability between 0.5 mA/cm$^2$ ∼ 100 mA/cm$^2$ current density in unit cell capacitor. On the other hand, as increasing the composition of Ketjen Black, the specific resistances of electrodes were decreased and Ketjen Black content higher than 15 wt% increased. The best rate capability was obtained at the electrode with 15 wt.% of Ketjen Black in unit cell capacitor. This behaviors would be correlated with the dense structure of electrode.

Rye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a new class of solar cell, which consists of nanoporous TiO$_2$ electrode, dye-sensitizer, electrolyte, and counter electrode. Such cell is operated in sunlight via the principle of photosynthetic electrochemistry. In order to obtain the good dispersion of nano size TiO$_2$ particles In slurry, the pH of solvent, the sort and quantify of solvent additive and the quantity of surfactant were adjusted. As results, the lower the pH of solvent was the lower the viscosity of the slurry became. The addition of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol to dilute HNO$_3$ brought about the lowering of viscosity and the enhancement of stability in slurry. The addition of surfactant lowered the viscosity of slurry. It was possible to obtain the homogeneous and uniformly dispersed mesoporous TiO$_2$ film using the dilute HNO$_3$ solvent of pH 2 with the addition of ethylene glycol and neutral surfactant. DSSC was assembled with TiO$_2$ electrode and Pt electrode, and its photoelectric property was measured using the monochromatic wavelength in the rangee of 350∼700 nm.

본 논문에서는 KSTAR 토카막 진공용기의 세정을 위한 방전세정 시스템의 설계에 대해 기술하였다. 먼저 방전세정효율에 영향을 주는 매개변수들에 대해 논의하였으며. 실제 설계에서 직류방전 보다 낮은 압력에서 방전이 시작되고 유지되며 따라서 세정효율이 높은 RG 방전(RF-assisted DC glow discharge) 방법을 채택하였다. 그리고 방전세정의 균일성을 위해 두 개의 방전 전극을 진공용기의 진단포트(A,I-port)에 설치하였다. 설계된 방전세정 시스템은 KSTAR 진공용기 내벽 세정뿐만 아니라 제1벽의 연료재순환(fuel recycling)이나 보론화 처리(boronization)등의 연구에도 응용될 수 있다.

나노섬유는 지름이 수십에서 수백 나노미터(1나노미터=10억분의1m)에 불과한 초극세 물질로 비표면적이 매우 크고[1], 제작이 간편하여, 사용되어지는 고분자의 종류에 따라 에너지 환경 의료 관련 분야에서 전극소재 필터재 피복재 인공 피부등 다양한 분야에서의 활용이 가능하여 전 세계적으로 연구개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 그 자체만으로 응용하기에는 그 기계적 전기적 특성의 한계 때문에 응용의 다양성에 제약을 받고 있다. 그러나 그 자체만으로 응용하기에는 그 기계적 열적 전기적 특성을 가진 탄소나노튜브를 첨가한 복합나노섬유에 의해 그 응용영역의 한계를 넓혀가고 있다.[2] 본 연구에서는 전도성 고분자인 polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)에 multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)를 첨가한 복합나노섬유를 전기방사법(electrospinning method)을 통해서 제조하였다.

In order to improve the lithium ion battery's performance, the carbon nanofibers were introduced to the anode electrode fabricated with natural graphite particles. The influence of structural adjustment of the particles by the introduction method of carbon nanofibers and the content of carbon nanofibers on the electrical property and charge/discharge characteristics of the electrode were investigated. The electrode fabricated with the mixture of 10 wt% of carbon nanofibers grown separately and 90 wt% of graphite particles showed an excellent discharge capacity of 400 mAh/g and the improved cycle performance. The improved performance could be explained by that the carbon nanofibers shortened and uniformly distributed on the surface of graphite particles by ball milling increased the stability for the intercalation/deintercalation of lithium ion and increased the electrical conductivity due to the closed packing between graphite particles.
