We report the enhancement of hole injection using ozone-treated Ag nanodots dispersed on indium tin oxide anode in $Ir(ppy)_3-doped$ phosphorescent OLED. Phosphorescent OLED fabricated on Ag nanodots dispersed ITO anode showed a lower turn on voltage and higher luminescence than those of OLEDS prepared commercial ITO anode. Synchrotron x-ray scattering examination results showed that the Ag nanodots dispersed on ITO anode is amorphous structure due to low deposition temperature. It was thought that decrease of the energy barrier height as Ag nanodots changed to $AgO_x$ nanodots by surface treatment using ozone for 10 min led to enhancement of hole injection in phosphorescent OLED. Futhermore, efficient hole injection can be explained by increase of contact region between anode material and organic material through introduction of $Ag_2O$ nanodots.

New Ag-deposited graphite anodes were developed using wet chemical reduction methods for depositing Ag metal onto graphite particles. In this paper, we investigated X-ray diffraction pattern and charge-discharge behavior for Ag-deposited graphite anode. The Lithium ion cello using Ag-deposited graphite anode showed a high average discharge voltage of 3.6∼3.W and a excellent cycle ability than that of conventional graphite. Little capacity loss in this battery may be due to the highly durable Ag-deposited graphite anodes.

Optical and electrical properties of various transparent conducting oxides (ITO, AZO, ITO/Ag/ITO, AZO/Ag/AZO) were investigated for anode of OLED display. ITO/Ag/ITO multi-layer anode has much better electrical and optical characteristics than other films, and OLED on that anode showed lower threshold voltage and better luminescence.

Sodium hydroxide solutions are often employed as sterilization agents in the pharmaceutical industry. Here, the chloride content is considered as a critical impurity. In this study, an electrochemical method was developed to remove chloride ions (Cl^-) through the oxidative deposition of AgCl on a Ag anode. The Cl^- content in the commercially available 50% w/w NaOH solution employed was approximately 100 mg Cl^-/kg NaOH. As the OH^- content is approximately 18,000 times higher than the Cl^- content, the formation of AgCl may be expected to be thermodynamically less favorable than the formation of Ag₂O. However, activation energies for AgCl and Ag₂O formation have been reported to be approximately 3.8 and 31.2 kJ/mol, respectively, and indicate that AgCl formation is favored. AgCl can be selectively produced by controlling the anode potential. Here, the Cl^- concentration was reduced to less than 50 mg Cl^-/kg NaOH when an anode potential of 0.18 or 0.19 V vs. Hg/HgO (reference electrode) was applied for one hour at 50℃. XRD analysis and visual monitoring of the Ag anode confirmed the oxidative deposition of AgCl on the anode surface as well as the electrochemical desalination of the concentrated NaOH solution.

Ag-deposited graphite powder was prepared by a chemical reduction method of metal particles onto graphite powder. X-ray diffraction observation of Ag-deposited graphite powder revealed that silver existed in a metallic state, but not in an oxidized one. From SEM measurement, ultrafine silver particles were highly dispersed on the surface of graphite particles. Cylindrical lithium ion secondary battery was manufactured using Ag-deposited graphite anodes and $LiCoO_2$ cathodes. The cycleability of lithium ion secondary battery using Ag-deposited graphite anodes was superior to that of original graphite powder. The improved cycleability may be due to both the reduction of electric resistance between electrodes and the highly durable Ag-graphite anode.

최근 급속한 경제성장과 기술발달로 전기전자폐기물(WEEE)의 발생량이 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라, 전기전자폐기물의 처리에 대한 중요성 또한 높아지고 있다. 이중, 인쇄회로기판(PCB)의 경우, 유가금속을 다량 함유하고 있기 때문에 친환경적이고 경제적인 재활용 방법에 관한 다양한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 PCB스크랩으로부터 제조된 양극동의 전해정련 과정에서 발생한 양극슬라임을 활용하여 Ag 및 Au 회수를 위한 실험을 수행하였다. Ag의 경우, 3 M $HNO_3$, 100 g/L, $70^{\circ}C$로 침출하였고, 침전, 알칼리 용해, 환원 방법에 의하여 Ag를 회수하였다. Au의 경우, 양극슬라임의 질산 침출 잔사를 25% Aqua regia (왕수), 200 g/L, $70^{\circ}C$로 침출하였고, pH조정, 이온교환수지 흡착 및 탈착, 환원 방법에 의하여 Au를 회수하였다. 최종적으로 얻어진 Au, Ag의 순도는 99.99%로 확인되었다.

We have investigated the effects of an Ag capping layer on the emission characteristics of transparent organic light-emitting devices with Ca/Ag double-layer cathodes. The thickness of the Ag layer was varied from 10 to 30 nm, whereas the Ca was fixed to be a 10 nm in the Ca/Ag structure. The luminance and current efficiency on the cathode and anode sides are significantly dependent on the Ag thickness. For example, the current efficiency on the anode side increases from 8.4 to 11.7 cd/A, whereas, on the cathode side, it decreases from 3.2 to 0.2 cd/A as the Ag thickness increases from 10 to 30 nm. These changes in emission characteristics were investigated by measuring electroluminescence, transmission, and reflection spectra.

수십에서 수백 ${\mu}m$ 영역의 필름 두께 측정에 적용하기 위한 Ag-target 투과양극형 x-ray tube를 개발하고 특성을 조사하였다. 10kV 부근의 관전압에서 x-ray 에너지의 분포 및 선량특성을 조사하고 W-target tube와 비교하여 논의하였다. 또한 Ag-target tube와 W-target tube를 이용하여 Ny film과 PP film의 두께변화에 따른 x-ray의 투과 특성으로 조사하였고, 그 결과 개발된 x-ray tube는 필름두께 측정용으로 적용할 수 있을 만큼 충분히 좋은 특성을 나타내었다.

최근 유기태양전지의 효율향상을 위하여 고분자의 PEDOT:PSS 양극(Anode) 버퍼층이 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 고효율 태양전지의 개발과 더불어 새로이 적용되고 있는 역구조 유기 태양전지에는 이 같은 친수성의 PEDOT:PSS 고분자가 소수성의 양극이나 광활성층 상에 균일하게 코팅되는 것이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해서 양극 버퍼층으로 $V_2O_5$와 같은 p-type 금속산화물을 사용한 연구가 많이 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저항을 낮추고 홀 이동도를 향상 시키기 위해 Ag를 삽입층으로 한 $V_2O_5$/Ag/ITO 구조의 다층 박막을 제작하고 Ag두께에 따른 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성의 변화에 대하여 살펴보았다. 가시광 영역에서는 Ag 두께가 증가함에 따라 광 투과율이 감소하는 반면 전기적 특성은 향상되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 광소자의 투명전극산화물로 적합한 구조인지 평가하기 위해 Figure Of Merit(FOM)의 값을 측정하였고, 그 결과 Ag의 두께가 4 nm에서 가장 좋은 특성을 나타냈다. $V_2O_5$/Ag/ITO 구조의 다층 박막은 가시광 영역에서 Ag의 두께가 4 nm일 때 88%의 광 투과율을 나타내었고 저항 값은 $4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$로써 광소자로 적합한 구조임을 확인하였다.

IZO/Ag/IZO (IAI) anode films for flexible organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) were grown on PC (polycarbonate) substrate using DC sputter (IZO) and thermal evaporator (Ag) systems as a function of Ag thickness. To investigate electrical and optical properties of IAI stacked films, 4-point probe and UV/Vis spectrometer were used, respectively. From a IAI stacked film with 12nm-thick Ag, sheet resistance of $6.9\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ and transmittance of above 82 % at a range of 500-550 nm wavelength were obtained. In addition, structural and surface properties of IAI stacked films were analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (scanning electron microscopy), respectively. Moreover, IAI stacked films showed dramatically improved mechanical properties when subjected to bending both as a function of number of cycles to a fixed radius. Finally, OLEDs fabricated on both flexible IAI stacked anode and conventional ITO/Glass were fabricated and, J-V-L characteristics of those OLEDs were compared by Keithley 2400.
