Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing dyes have been applied to various applications such as optical filters, biotechnology, energy storage and conversion, coating additive, and traditionally information-storage materials. Because image sensors used in cellphones and digital cameras have sensitivity in the NIR region, the NIR cut-off filter is essential to achieving more clear images. As energy storage and conversion have been important, diverse NIR absorbing materials have been developed to extend the absorption region to the NIR region, and NIR absorbing materials-based research has proceeded to improve device performances. Adding NIR-absorbing dye with a photo-thermal effect to a self-healable coating system has been attractive for future mobility technology, and more effective self-healing properties have been reported. In this report, the chemical structures of representative NIR-absorbing dyes and state of the art research based on NIR-absorbing dyes are introduced.

산성비의 주요 원인인 이산화황($SO_2$)을 배기가스로부터 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 용매 중 이온성 액체(ionic liquid, IL)의 $SO_2$ 흡수능 (absorption capacity)을 양자화학적 방법을 이용하여 평가했다. 이를 위해 hydroxyl ammonium 계열의 양이온 monoethanolammonium, diethanolammonium 2종과 carboxylate 계열의 음이온 acetate, formate 2종을 조합하여 총 4종의 IL을 연구에 적용했다. $SO_2$가 IL의 pair, 양이온 또는 음이온과 complex를 형성할 때로 구분하여 계산 모델을 세웠으며, 열역학적 상태 변화와 오비탈 상호작용 분석을 통해 흡수능을 평가하였다. 계산 결과, 음이온-$SO_2$ complex를 적용했을 때 formate에 비해 acetate가 $SO_2$ 흡수에 유리할 것으로 분석되었으며, 이는 이전의 실험 연구에서 얻어진 흡수능 경향성과도 잘 맞는다.

This work deals with the chemical characterization of glycine aqueous solution in $CO_2$ absorption. Three alkali elements were impregnated into the glycine in order to facilitate the formation of amino functionalities. The analysis by IR revealed the transformation of ammonium ions to the amino group. In addition, the NMR analysis showed that the substitution of metal cations to the chemical shift of hydrogen and carbon atoms in glycine; in order of lithium glycinate, sodium glycinate and potassium glycinate depending on the electro negativity. Meanwhile, the $CO_2$ absorption at room temperature was the highest in primary amine solution, but at the increasing temperature sodium glycinate could capture more $CO_2$ than that of the pure amine solution.

A new absorption spectrum observed from dilute aqueous solutions of methylene blue$(MB^+)$ and tetraphenylborate(TPB$^-$) ions was investigated by spectrophotometry. The species responsible for the spectrum can be a charge-transfer complex formed between the two, univalent, and poorly hydrated ions in order to minimize the disturbance to the water structure. However, as the absorption band of MB$^+$ is split into two bands with exciton splitting of about 2,000 cm$^{-1}$, the formation of double ion-pair, (MB-TPB)$_2$ appears to be more favorable than the charge transfer complex.

Magnesium (Mg) present in carbonate minerals as impurities has been used as a geochemical proxy to infer the environmental conditions where the minerals precipitated. The reliability of Mg geochemical proxies requires fundamental understanding of Mg incorporation into minerals based on accurate speciation of Mg ²⁺ in the crystal structure, which is determined mainly by application of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). However, high uncertainties are involved in interpreting the XAS spectra of minerals containing trace amount of Mg ²⁺. Because density function theory (DFT) can predict an XAS spectrum for a crystal structure, DFT calculations can reduce the uncertainties in the interpretation of the XAS spectrum. In this study, we calculated ab initio Mg K-edge absorption spectra of Mg silicates and (hydr)oxides based on DFT and analyzed the correlation between the calculated spectra and Mg structural parameters. Our ab initio Mg K-edge absorption spectra well reproduced the key features of the experimental spectra. The absorption-edge positions of the calculated spectra showed the weak positive correlation with the average Mg-O bond distance or Mg effective coordination number. The current study shows that DFT-based core-level spectroscopy method is a powerful tool in providing standard Mg K-edge spectra of diverse Mg minerals and determining the Mg chemical species within carbonate minerals.

It was found that the absorbent mixed with 2-aminoethanol and others has been applied to remove them via chemical neutralization. The absorbent of natural second metabolites was achieved by a removal efficiency of 20~30% by itself depending on treatment conditions, but the complex absorbent mixed with 0.2% amine chemical provides the removal efficiency of over 98%. Optimal removal efficiencies have been examined against two major parameters of the temperature and pH to remove ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gases. The chemical analysis was also performed to analyze the composition of an essential oil by GC-MS. The monoterpenes in an essential oil reacted with odorous compounds by neutralization and their reaction mechanism was partially elucidated.

Absorption rate of carbon dioxide was measured in the aqueous polyacrylamide (PAA) solution containing triethanolamine (TEA) of $0{\sim}2.0\;kg\;mol/m^3$ in a flat-stirred vessel with an impeller of 0.05 m and agitation speed of 50 rpm at $25^{\circ}C$ and 101.3 kPa. The chemical absorption rate of $CO_2$ was estimated by mass transfer mechanism based on the film theory using the physicochemical properties containing the liquid-side mass transfer coefficient of $CO_2$ and the kinetics of reaction between $CO_2$ and TEA to compare with the measured rate. The aqueous PAA solution acted as a reducing agent by viscoelastic property of non-Newtonian liquid based on the same viscosity of the solution.

The present study was conducted to establish the optimal fertilization type and method for no-tillage during the first year of No-tillage (NT) and Conventional-tillage (CT) practices for soybean, using different types of fertilizers. In this experiment, the culm length and stalk diameter showed a greater response to fertilization with surface irrigation than to conventional fertilization. The fastest flowering period (July 28) occurred using chemical fertilization applied via subsurface irrigation. Comparing maturation based on growth characteristics and flowering date revealed that fertilization with subsurface irrigation was more effective for the growth of crops than other methods. Regarding yield, there was no significant difference between livestock and chemical fertilizers in subsurface irrigation, but there were significant differences between these fertilizers when using conventional fertilization methods. Based on the results, livestock fertilizer with subsurface irrigation effectively enhanced crop quantity. Nitrogen absorption of plants using subsurface irrigation was more effective than that using conventional fertilization. Regarding phosphorus absorption of plants, chemical fertilizers showed higher absorption than did livestock fertilizers for both subsurface irrigation and conventional fertilization. Unlike nitrogen, phosphorus was highly absorbed using conventional fertilization. Absorption of phosphorus and potassium were similar but phosphorus was not absorbed using livestock fertilizers applied either using subsurface irrigation or with conventional fertilization.

The spectral properties of the solvated electrons in tetrahydrofuran(THF)-water binary system have been investigated. In this study, the solvated electrons have been produced by applying nsec Q-switch Nd(YAG) laser photolysis technique. The experimental method photolysis were schematically described. The solvent and the temperature effects on the absorption spectrum of solvated electrons have also been studied. The observation of the spectrum with increasing THF content and temperatue showed a trend that the former shifted to longer wavelength and the other showed broadening effect. The half-life of solvated electrons were also increased with THF content. The absorption maxima of the mixtures were always observed in the middle of that of pure water and THF. The correlation between the volume and the absorption energy of solvated electrons were discussed from the results.

In this paper, a novel flexible microfluidic metamaterial absorber is proposed for remote chemical sensor applications. The proposed metamaterial absorber consists of a periodic of split-ring-cross resonators(SRCRs) and a microfluidic channel. The SRCR patterns are inkjet-printed using silver nanoparticle inks on paper. The microfluidic channels are laser-etched on polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) material. The proposed absorber can detect change of the effective permittivity at different liquids. Therefore, the absorber can be used for a remote chemical sensor by detecting change of the resonant frequencies. The performance of the proposed absorber is demonstrated with full-wave simulation and measurement results. The experimental results shows that the resonant frequency is 10.49 GHz at the empty channel. When ethanol and DI-water are injected into the channel, the resonant frequencies are 10.04 GHz and 8.9 GHz, respectively.
