BLT nanotubes were synthesized by using simple and convenient method template-wetting process. Porous alumina membranes were prepared by 2 step anodic oxidation as the template. To improve wetting properties and make low surface energy, BLT solution was mixed with polymer. Polymer was removed completely during annealing. After completely etching the template in 30 wt% KOH solution, we demonstrate that BLT nanotubes with a diameter of 200 nm can be fabricated. Grain growth process of BLT nanotubes during baking, and furnace annealing was examined by FE-SEM and XRD.

반사방지(Anti-Reflection, AR) 특성은 태양전지, LED, 광검출기 등의 광전소자와 디스플레이의 효율과 투과도를 향상시키기 위해 적용되고 있다. 또한 최근에 네비게이션, 스마트폰의 보급 증가로 인해 소형 디스플레이에 지문방지와 동시에 반사방지 기능을 갖는 필름이 사용되고 있다. 현재 적용되고 있는 반사방지 필름은 다층박막 코팅으로 형성된 필름[1]으로 생산단가와 박막의 내구성 및 신뢰성에 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해 나노구조로 제작 되는 반사방지 필름에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다[2]. 나노구조로 형성된 반사방지 구조는 moth-eye 구조라고 하며, 기본 원리는 원뿔 형태를 형성된 나노 구조를 통해 공기와 나노구조 사이의 유효 굴절률을 서서히 변화시켜 반사를 줄이는 것이다. 그러므로 moth-eye 나노구조는 파장 이하의 pitch와 파장 크기의 높이를 갖도록 구조가 제작되어야 한다[3]. Photo-lithography[4], e-beam lithography[5], interference lithography[6], dip-pen nanolithography[7], hybrid nano-patterning lithography[8] 등 여러 가지 방법으로 나노 구조를 제작하고 있으나, 네비게이션이나 스마트폰 등에 적용될 수 있는 대면적으로 제작하기 위해서는 roll-to-roll printing과 같은 대면적 공정을 이용하여 제작하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 원통형 알루미늄 rod에 양극산화를 통해 다공성 AAO(anode aluminium oxide) template를 제작하고, roll-to-roll printing 기술을 사용하여 moth-eye 나노구조를 갖는 반사방지 필름을 제작하는 것에 대해 기술하였다.

Electrochemical deposition characteristics of CdSe nanorods were investigated for hybrid solar cell applications. CdSe nanorods were fabricated by electrochemical method in $CdSO_4$ and $H_2SeO_3$ dissolved aqueous solution using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. Uniformity of CdSe nanorods was dependent on the diameter and the height of holes in AAO. The current density, current mode, bath composition and temperature were controlled to obtain a 1:1 atomic composition of CdSe. CdSe nanorods deposited by direct-current method showed better uniformity compared to those deposited by purse-current and/or purse-reverse current methods due to the bottom-up filling characteristics. $H_2SeO_3$ concentration showed more significant effects on pH of solution and stoichiometry of deposits compared to that of $CdSO_4$. A 1:1 stoichiometry of uniform CdSe nanorods was obtained from 0.25M $CdSO_4-5$ mM $H_2SeO_3$ electrolytes with a direct current of 10 $mA/cm^2$ at room temperature. X-ray diffraction and electron diffraction pattern investigations demonstrate that CdSe nanorods are a uniform cubic CdSe crystal.

Although vertically aligned one-dimensional (1D) structure has been considered as efficient forms for photoelectrode, development of efficient 1D nanostructured photocathode are still required. In this sense, we recently demonstrated a simple fabrication route for CuInS2 (CIS) nanorod arrays from aqueous solution by template-assisted growth-and-transfer method and their feasibility as a photoelectrode for water splitting. In this study, we further evaluated the photoelectrochemical properties surface-modified CIS nanorod arrays. Surface modification with CdS and ZnS was performed by successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method, which is well known as suitable technique for conformal coating throughout nanoporous structure. With surface modification of CdS and ZnS, both photoelectrochemical performance and stability of CuInS2 nanorod arrays were improved by shifting of the flat-band potential, which was analyzed both onset potential and Mott-schottky plot.

This paper presents a microfabricated nanowire diluter which dilutes the concentration of nanowires in solution instead of by the conventional centrifuge process. The device has 16 pairs of gold electrodes in a micro channel composed of a glass substrate and PDMS. We prepared nickel nanowires by the template-directed electrodeposition method using nanoporous anodized aluminum template (AAO). We injected the Dimethylformamide (DMF) solution containing nanowires into the inlet of the diluter while applying square wave voltages on the electrodes to trap the nanowires at the subsequent gold electrodes by means of dielectrophoretic attraction forces. The concentration of nanowires at the outlet of the micro channel was changed as we expected, which illustrates that the device can effectively dilute nanowires and can be applied to a controlled assembly of nanowires.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane was made of aluminum sheet (99.6%, 0.2 mm thickness). The regular array of hexagonal nano pores or channels were prepared by two step anodization process. A detail description of the AAO fabrication is presented. After the 1st anodization in oxalic acid (0.3 M) at 45 V, The formed AAO was removed by etching in a solution of 6 wt% $H_3$$PO_4$＋1.8 wt% $H_2$$CrO_4$. The regular arrangement of the pores was obtained by the 2nd anodization, which was carried out in the same condition as the 1st anodization. Subsequently, the alumina barrier layer at the bottom of the channel layer was removed in phosphoric acid (1M) after removing of aluminum. Pore diameter, density, and thickness could be controlled by the anodization process parameters such as applied voltage, anodizing time, pore widening time, etc. The pore diameter is proportional to the applied voltage and pore widening time. The pore density and thickness can be controlled by anodization temperature and voltage.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) with pores of various diameter, density, and thickness values was obtained through control of the anodization parameters including voltage, temperature, pore widening time, anodization time, etc. The pore diameter was controlled by a pore widening in an etchant, and alumina templates having stepped nano-channels were fabricated by repetition of anodization and pore widening processes. Stepped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were then grown on the stepped AAO templates by pyrolysis of acetylene without using the catalyst. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images revealed that CNTs have a multi-wall structure made of graphite flakes of several nm sizes. The current-voltage characteristic of the sloped and linear CNTs were also examined.

Preparation of graded materials displaying gradients of desired properties is one of the important issues and less-developed areas in materials chemistry. For the first time we demonstrate facile control of porosity and length in the pores of AAO template in lateral directions by controlled dipping method. To demonstrate the versatility of the proposed method, laterally graded silica nanotubes are also prepared by using the laterally graded AAO templates. The method demonstrated here will open numerous possibilities for obtaining a variety of graded materials with lateral gradients of catalytic, electrochemical, mechanical and optical properties on the nanoscale.
