In this study, we created a DBD plasma device and a MnO2 catalyst mesh filter for evaluating ozone reduction of devices via the catalyst method. The DBD plasma device was manufactured by applying Ag paste to soda lime glass via the screen-printing method. The MnO2 catalyst mesh filter was manufactured by mixing MnO2 powder with binder with a 10% difference in concentration from 10% to 50% and then applying it using the dip-coating method. Finally, we sintered a MnO2 catalyst mesh filter in an electric furnace. We evaluated the characteristics of ozone generation according to the Ar gas flow of DBD plasma devices, the opening ratio, and ozone reduction performance of the MnO2 catalyst filters. Ozone reduction performance was approximately 20.4% at MnO2 10 wt%, 37.8% at MnO2 30 wt% and 50% at MnO2 50 wt%.

차세대 디스플레이로 유연하고 투명한 기능들이 요구되면서 Indium Tin Oxide(ITO)를 대체하기 위한 투명전극 개발 연구가 많이 수행되고 있다. ITO는 높은 투과도와 낮은 저항으로 현재 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 투명전극 소재이지만 유연성이 떨어져 유연 터치 패널 소재로 활용하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 ITO 대체 물질로 CNT, Graphene, Metal mesh, Ag nano wire, 전도성 고분자 등의 차세대 투명 전극 소재가 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 메탈 메쉬 전극 소재로 사용하기 위해 Cu 박막 증착 시 플라즈마 표면처리를 통해 밀착력 및 저항을 개선하였다. Cu 금속 박막의 양산화를 위한 공정으로 자체 제작한 Linear Ion Source(LIS)가 부착된 roll to roll 시스템을 적용하여 플라즈마 전처리 공정 및 Ni buffer layer 도입 이후 Cu 박막을 형성하였다. 그 결과 PET 기판과 Cu 박막 사이의 밀착력을 0 degree에서 5 degree까지 향상시킬 수 있었고, 플라즈마 표면처리를 시행함으로써 저항 또한 감소되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해서 폴리머 기판 소재에 in-situ로 표면처리 및 Cu 금속 박막을 증착함으로써 금속 박막의 밀착력 및 전기적 특성이 향상되는 공정 기술을 개발하였다.

Stress wave propagation through concrete is simulated by finite element analysis. The concrete medium is modeled as a homogeneous material with smeared properties to investigate and establish the suitable finite element analysis method (explicit versus implicit) and analysis parameters (element size, and solution time increment) also suitable for rigorous investigation. In the next step, finite element analysis model of the medium is developed using a digital image processing technique, which distinguishes the mortar and aggregate phases of concrete. The mortar and aggregate phase topologies are, then, directly mapped to the finite element mesh to form a heterogeneous concrete model. The heterogeneous concrete model is then used to simulate wave propagation. The veracity of the model is demonstrated by evaluating the intrinsic parameters of nondestructive ultrasonic pulse velocity testing of concrete. Quantitative relationships between aggregate size and testing frequency for nondestructive testing are presented.

The carbon nanotube emitters for field emission displays were fabricated by screen printing techniques. The pastes for screen printing are composed of organic binders, carbon nanotubes, and some additive materials. Then the pastes were printed on Cr-coated/Ag-printed soda-lime glass substrates. From the I-V characteristics, the turn-on field of SWNT was lower than that of MWNT. The decrease in the mesh size of screen masks resulted in decreasing the turn-on field and increasing the electron emission current. When the carbon nanotubes were mixed with glass frit, glass frit appeared to contribute to the vertically aligning of carbon nanotubes on glass.

The gas diffusion electrodes as oxygen cathodes f3r the brine electrolysis process were investigated. The gas diffusion electrode consists of a reaction layer, a gas diffusion layer, and a current distributor. The reaction layer was made from hydrophilic carbon black, hydrophobic carbon black, PTFE(polyterafluoroethylene), and Ag catalyst loaded by the silver mirror reaction or impregnation method. The gas diffusion layer was made from hydrophobic carbon black and PTFE, and Ni mesh was used as the current distributor in the reaction layer. The result that the gas diffusion electrode $(10wt\%\;Ag\;catalyst\;and\;20wt\%\;binder)$ manufactured by applying impregnation method to the carbon black f3r reaction layer showed the better performance was obtained from experiments. From the half-cell test, the measured overpotential of this oxygen cathode was about 700mV, And through the electrolysis experiment under the condition of $80^{\circ}C,\;32wt\%$ NaOH, and $300mA/cm^2$, the electrolysis voltage of this electrode was about 2.2 V, The gas diffusion electrodes manufactured in the present research were capable of continuous operations for three months.

Mo isotope, one of highly redox-sensitive isotopes, has been shown to be useful tracers of geochemical processes. Many studies for Mo isotope have documented with the help of recently developed analysis tools, but it has not yet been documented in the Korea. In this study, we introduce two-stage column separation method of Mo using column tube (BioRad PolyPrep(R) column, 10 ml) and anion exchange resin (BioRad Resin AG(R) 1-X8, 200-400 mesh). Mo isotope ratios in the solid SRMs (BHVO-2, SDO-1, PACS-2) and liquid SRM (IAPSO) were measured on MC-ICP-MS (Multi-collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer) and then compared with reference Mo isotope ratios. Mo isotope ratios in our study overlap with reference Mo isotope ratios within analytical error.

Cation exchange separation and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric(ICP-AES) determination of ruthenium in HCl solutions were studied to quantitatively determine ruthenium in spent nuclear fuels. Ruthenium-bearing samples were dissolved with the mixed acid solution(9 : 1 mole ratio, HCl-HNO$_3$) using an acid digestion bomb. Based on the absorption spectra and ion exchange behaviour of ruthenium in hydrochloric acid media, its possible chemical species were discussed. On a cation exchange column (0.7 ${\times}$ 8.0 cm) packed with AG 50W ${\times}$ 8(100~200 mesh) and equilibrated with 0.5 M HCl, ruthenium was eluated with 0.5 M HCl while uranium was retained on the column. The established separation method was applied to a simulated spent nuclear fuel and resulted in the recovery of 98.5% with a relative standard deviation of 0.7%.

최근 태양전지 연구에서 저가격화를 실현하는 방법 중 하나로 폐 실리콘 웨이퍼를 재생하는 방법에 관하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 웨이퍼 재생공정은 높은 재처리 비용과 복잡한 공정등의 많은 단점을 가지고 있다. 결정형 태양전지에서 저가격화 및 고효율은 태양전지를 제작하는데 있어 필수 요소 이다. 그 중 결정질 태양전지 고효율을 위한 여러 연구 방법 중 표면 텍스쳐링(texturing)에 관한 연구가 활발하다. 텍스쳐링은 표면반사에 의한 광 손실을 최소화 하여 효율을 증가시키기 위한 방법으로 습식 식각과 건식 식각을 사용하여 태양전지 표면 위에 요철 및 피라미드구조를 형성하여 반사율을 최소화 시킨다. 건식식각은 습식식각과 다른 환경적 오염이 적은 것과 소량의 가스만으로 표면 텍스쳐링이 가능하여 많은 연구가 진행중이다. 건식 식각 중 하나인 RIE(reactive ion etching)는 고주파를 이용하여 플라즈마의 이온과 silicon을 반응 시킨다. 실험은 RIE를 이용하여 SF6/02가스를 혼합하여 비등방성 에칭 및 피라미드 구조를 구현하였다. RIE 공정 중 SF6/02가스는 높은 식각 율을 갖으며 self-masking mechanism을 통해 표면이 검게 변화되고 반사율이 감소하게 된다. 이 과정을 통해 블랙 실리콘을 형성하게 된다. 블랙 실리콘은 반사율 10% 이하로 self-masking mechanism으로 바늘모양의 구조를 형성되는 게 특징이며 표면이 검은색으로 반사율이 낮아 효율증가로 예상되지만 실제 바늘 모양의 블랙 실리콘은 태양전지 제작에 있어 후속 공정 인 전극 형성 시 Ag Paste의 사이즈와 표면 구조를 감안할 때 태양 전지 제작 시 Series resistance를 증가로 효율 저하를 가져온다. 본 연구는 SF6/02가스를 혼합하여 기존 RIE로 형성된 바늘모양의 구조의 블랙 실리콘이 아닌 RIE 내부에 metal-mesh를 장착하여 단결정(100)실리콘 웨이퍼 표면을 텍스쳐링 하였고 SF6/02 가스 1:1 비율로 공정을 진행 하였다. metal-mesh 홀의 크기는 100um로 RIE 내부에 장착하여 공정 시간 및 Pressure를 변경하여 실험을 진행하였다. 공정 시간이 변경됨에 따라 단결정(100) 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면에 피라미드 구조의 균일한 1um 크기의 블랙 실리콘을 구현하였다. 바늘모양의 블랙 실리콘을 피라미드 구조로 구현함으로써 바늘 모양의 단점을 보완하여 태양전지 전기적 특성을 분석하여 태양전지 제작시 변환 효율을 증가시킬 것으로 예상된다.

Geochemical investigations on suspended amorphous iron oxide material from the Kwangyang gold mine and its surrounding area, Cheonnam, Korea have been carried out. The sediments samples were collected from 11 location along Kwangyang mine area and were air dried and sieved to -80 mesh. These samples consist mainly of iron, silicon and alumina. The Fe$_2$O$_3$ contents ranges from 17.9 wt.% to 72.3 wt.%. The content of Fe$_2$O$_3$ increase with decreasing Si, Al, Mg, Na, K, Mn, and Ti, whereas the contents of Te, Au, Ga, Bi, Cd, Hg, Sb, and Se increase in the amorphous stream sediments. Amorphous stream sediments have been severely enriched for As (up to 54.9 ppm), Bi (up to 3.77 ppm), Cd (up to 3.65 ppm), Hg (up to 64 ppm), Sb (up to 10.1 ppm), Cu (up to 37.1 ppm), Mo (up to 8.86 ppm), Pb (up to 9.45 ppm) and Zn (up to 29.7 ppm). At the upstream site, the Au content (up to 4.4 ppm) in the amorphous stream sediments are relatively high but those contents decrease with distance of mine location. The content of Ag (up to 0.24 ppm) were low in upstream site but those contents increase significantly in the downstream sites. The X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples have virtually no sharp and discrete peaks, indicating that some samples are amorphous or poorly-ordered. The quartz, goethite, kaolinite and illite were associated in amorphous stream sediments. The infrared spectra for amorphous stream sediments show major absorption bands due to OH stretching, adsorbed molecular water, sulfate and Fe-O stretching, respectively.

Transparent conductive films (TCF) with excellent electrical properties and high mechanical flexibility have been widely studied because of their potential for application in optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, paper displays and organic solar cells. In this paper, we report on low-resistance and high-transparent TCF for flexible device applications. To fabricate a high-resolution roll imprinted TCF, the following steps were performed: the design and manufacture of an electroforming stamp mold, the fabrication of high-resolution roll imprinted on flexible film, the manufacture of Ag-nano paste which was filled into patterned film using a doctor blade process. Also, we was demonstrated with the successful application(ITO free organic photovoltaic) of the developed flexible TCF.
