전고체 리튬 이차전지는 기존 리튬 이차전지의 구성요소 가운데 액체 전해질을 고체 전해질로 대체한 것을 말한다. 전지의 폭발이나 화재의 위험성이 업소 제조공정이 단순화되며 고 에너지 밀도화 가능성에서 기존 리튬 이차전지보다 유리한 전고체 리튬이차전지는 차세대 이차전지로 주목받고 있다. 본고에서는 전고체 리튬 이차전지의 핵심 요소기술인 세라믹 고체 전해질과 용량 및 에너지 밀도 향상을 위한 전고체 이차전지 구조 등에 대해 연구개발 현황을 조사하였다.

In this study, copper was recovered from copper containing sludge by selectively controlling electro-refining process conditions in copper sulfate electrolyte solution. Electro-refining process was performed by LSV (Linear Sweep Voltammetry) result according to copper sulfate electrolyte solution concentration, applied current density, additive type and concentration. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and PSA (Particle Size Analyzer) were used to analyze the shape and size of copper powder. In the 0.1 ~ 0.4 M copper sulfate electrolyte solution without organic additives, the copper powder size decreased as the applied current density became closer to the limiting current density and the copper powder size tended to decrease in 0.2 ~ 0.3 M copper sulfate electrolyte solution. In addition, when the shape and size of the copper powder were analyzed by adding various types and concentrations of organic additives to the previous experimental, fine spherical copper powder having the smallest size (nm) was obtained under the condition of cellulose type additive 2,000 ppm.

Pyroprocessing has been developed for the purpose of resolving the current spent nuclear fuel management issue and enhancing the recycle of valuable resources. An electrolytic reduction of the pyroprocessing is a process to reduce oxides into metals using LiCl as an electrolyte and requires a post-treatment process due to the inclusion of residual salt in porous metal products. A vacuum distillation has been adopted for various molten salt systems and could be applied to the post-treatment process of the electrolytic reduction. The residual salt in the metal products includes LiCl, alkali chlorides, and alkaline earth chlorides. In this paper, vapor pressures of chlorides have been estimated and the composition changes on the residual liquid during the vacuum distillation process have been calculated. A model combining a material balance and vapor-liquid equilibrium relations has been proposed under a constant vapor discharging flow rate and liquid composition changes have been calculated using the vapor pressures with respect to a dimensionless time. The behaviors have been compared with temperature and molten salt composition changes to simulate the process condition variation. The distillation of the residual salt has been dominated by LiCl which is the main component of the salt and CsCl of which vapor pressure is higher than that of LiCl would be readily removed. RbCl exhibits similar vapor pressure with LiCl and maintains its composition. However, $SrCl_2$ and $BaCl_2$ of which vapor pressures are much lower than that of LiCl are concentrated with time and expected to be possibly precipitated during the distillation when the initial compositions are increased.

염료감응형 태양전지(Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells; DSSC)는 공정비용과 재료가 저렴하여 차세대 태양전지로 각광받고 있다. 특히 투명한 재료를 사용하므로 flexible한 기판을 이용하여 그 적용범위가 넓다. DSSC는 상부전극인 FTO와 전해질의 접촉으로 인해 일부 FTO의 전자가 외부로 나가지 못하고 산화환원 반응에 의해 도로 전해질로 들어갈 확률이 있다. 이로 인해 효율 감소문제를 야기 할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 FTO위에 여러 물질들을 증착하거나 코팅 등의 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔다. ZnO를 DSSC로 적용한 연구는 많이 이루어졌지만 대부분 공정이 Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)으로 진행 되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 FTO위에 ZnO를 진공 공정에 비해 저렴하고 간단한 spin-coating으로 blocking layer를 형성하였다. 그 후 염료에서 여기 된 전자를 FTO로 전달해 주는 역할을 하는 TiO2를 doctor blade방법으로 형성하였다. ZnO는 TiO2하고 전도대와 가전자대의 에너지 준위 차이가 거의 없고, ZnO의 전자 이동도가 TiO2보다 높기 때문에 FTO로 전자를 큰 저항 없이 전달 할 수 있다. 또한 투과율이 좋아 염료까지의 빛의 투과성도 뛰어나다. ZnO blocking layer를 형성하여 FTO에서 전해질로의 전자이동을 막아주는 역할을 하여 DSSC의 performance 향상을 확인하였다. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope(FE-SEM)을 통해 FTO/ZnO/TiO2의 계면 및 두께를 확인하였고. DSSC의 특성 분석을 위해 I-V curve, Power conversion efficiency, Impedance spectroscopy를 측정 하였다.

The transition of interconnection metal from aluminum alloy to copper has been introduced to meet the requirements of high speed, ultra-large scale integration, and high reliability of the semiconductor device. Since copper, which has low electrical resistivity and high resistance to degradation, has different electrical and material characteristics compared to aluminum alloy, new related materials and processes are needed to successfully fabricate the copper interconnection. In this review, some important factors of multilevel copper damascene process have been surveyed such as diffusion barrier, seed layer, organic additives for bottom-up electro/electroless deposition, chemical mechanical polishing, and capping layer to introduce the related issues and recent research trends on them.

펄스 전해 증착으로 합성된 구리는 고밀도의 나노쌍정경계를 지닌 미세구조에 따라 높은 인장강도와 낮은 전기 저항을 동시에 얻을 수 있는 특징이 있다. 이러한 특성들은 반도체 공정의 copper 배선, 리튬이온전지의 집전체, PCB, FPCB 전도체로 사용되고 있는 전해구리박막에서 요구되고 있는 신뢰성 문제 해결에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 도금용액의 온도 감소에 따라 변화하는 변수들과 물성의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 펄스전해도금에서 도금용액의 온도가 떨어질수록 인장강도와 연신율은 증가하였으며, $0^{\circ}C$도금조건에서 펄스 전해증착으로 합성된 구리박막은 인장강도 837MPa, 연신율 3.37%를 기록하였다.

The electro-refining process was performed to recovery high purity copper from low grade copper containing sludge in sulfuric acid. The surface morphologies and roughness of electro-refining copper were analyzed with variation of the type and concentration of organic additives, the best surface morphology was obtained 5 ppm of the gelatin type and 5 to 10 ppm of the thiol type organic additive. The crude metal consisted of copper with 86.635, 94.969 and 99.917 wt.%, several impurity metals of iron, nickel, cobalt and tin by pyro-metallurgical process. After electro-refining process, the purity of copper increases to 3N or 4N grade. The impurity concentrations and copper purities of copper crude metals, electrolyte and electro-refining copper were analyzed using ICP-OES, the electro-refining time and purity of copper crude metal to recover 4N grade copper were deduced.
