Ordered array of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) over ITO glass was investigated in terms of ITO pretreatment, particle size, and diamines with different chain length. Owing to the indium-tin-oxide (ITO) layer coated on the glass, the substrate surface has a limited number of hydroxyl groups which can produce functionalized amine groups for Au binding, which resulted in the loosely-packed array of Au NPs on the ITO surface. Diamine ligand as a molecular linker was introduced to enhance the lateral binding of adjacent Au NPs immobilized on the amine-functionalized ITO glass, consequently leading to the densely-packed array of Au NPs over the ITO substrate. The molecular bridging effect was strengthened with the increase of chain length of diamines: C-12 > C-8. The packing density of small Au NPs (< 40 nm) was significantly increased with the increase of C-8 diamine, but large Au NPs (> 60 nm) did not produce densely-packed array on the ITO glass even for the dosage of C-12 diamine.

Formic acid recently attracted attention as an alternative fuel for direct liquid fuel cells(DLFCs) due to its high theoretical open circuit voltage(1.45V). In this paper, a novel chemical strategy is described for the preparation and characterization of carbon-supported and surface-alloys, which were prepared by using a successive reduction process. After preparing Au colloid nanoparticles, the deposition of Au colloid nanoparticles occurred spontaneously in the carbon black-dispersed aqueous solution. Then nano-scaled Pt layer were formed on the surface of carbon-supported Au nanoparticles. The Au-Pt[x] showed the higher electrocatalytic activity than those of the particle-alloys and commercial one (Johnson-Matthey) for the reaction of formic acid oxidation when the mass-specific currents were compared. The increased electrocatalytic activity might be attributed to the effective surface structure of surface-alloys, which have a high utilization of active materials for the surface reaction of electrode.

There is a worldwide interest in the development and commercialization of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) for vehicular and stationary applications. One of the major objectives is the reduction of loaded electrode materials, which is comprise of the Pt-based noble metals. In this paper, a novel chemical strategy is described for the preparation and characterization of carbon-supported and surface-alloys, which were prepared by using a successive reduction process. After preparing Au colloid nanoparticles, the deposition of Au colloid nanoparticles occurred spontaneously in the carbon black-dispersed aqueous solution. Then nano-scaled active materials were formed on the surface of carbon-supported Au nanoparticles. The structural and electrochemical analyses indicate that the active materials were deposited on the surface of Au nanoparticles selectively and that an at toying process occurred during the successive reducing process The carbon-supported & surface-alloys showed the higher electrocatalytic activity than those of the particle-alloys and commercial one (Johnson-Matthey) for the reaction of methanol and formic acid oxidation. The increased electrocatalytic activity might be attributed to the effective surface structure of surface-alloys, which have a high utilization of active materials for the surface reaction of electrode.

반도체 집적회로의 고집적화 및 고성능화를 위한 기본 소자(MOSFET)의 미세화 및 단위공정의 물리적 한계를 극복하기 위해 기존의 Top-down 방식에서 buttom-up 방식의 공정에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중 nanoparticles를 이용한 나노소자 제작 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 nanoparticles를 이용한 나노소자의 제작에 있어서 원하는 위치에 nanoparticles를 배열하고 정렬하는데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 자기조립 특성을 가지고 있는 DNA분자와 기능화를 통하여 표면에 positive charge를 띄고있는 Gold nanoparticles를 상호결합 시키는 실험을 하였다. Au-DNA nanowire는 backbone에 있는 phosphate부분에서 negative charge를 띠고 있는 DNA와 positive charge를 띠고 있는 Gold nanoparticles가 결합하는 원리로 형성된다. 그렇지만 Gold particles를 표면이 아닌 DNA에만 붙이는 것은 아직 해결해야 할 부분으로 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 pH 조절을 통하여 기능화된 Gold particles의 charge의 변화를 주고 이를 Zeta potential 측정기로 측정한 후에 이 particles와 DNA를 결합시켜서 FE-SEM과 AFM 으로 확인하는 실험을 하였다.

We report the catalytic activity of Au/$TiO_2$ and Pt/$TiO_2$ nanocatalysts under CO oxidation fabricated by arc plasma deposition (APD), which is a facile dry process with no organic materials involved. Using APD, the catalyst nanoparticles were well dispersed on $TiO_2$ powder with an average particle size (2~4 nm) well below that of nanoparticles prepared by the sol-gel method (10 nm). We found that the average particle size of the dispersed gold nanoparticles can be controlled by changing the plasma discharge voltage of APD. Accordingly, the amount of loaded gold on the $TiO_2$ powder increased with increasing discharge voltage, but the specific surface area of the Au/$TiO_2$ samples decreased. As for catalytic reactivity, Au/$TiO_2$ showed a higher catalytic activity than Pt/$TiO_2$ in CO oxidation. The catalytic activity of the Au/$TiO_2$ samples showed size dependence where higher catalytic activity occurred on smaller gold nanoparticles. The study suggests that APD is a simple way to fabricate catalytically active nanocatalysts.

본 연구에서는 최근 저온접합 소재로 각광받고 있는 Ga과 대표적인 전극 물질인 Cu와의 반응연구를 실시하여 저온 솔더링 적용시 필요한 정보들을 확인하고자 하였다. 80-200℃ 온도범위에서 Ga과 Cu/Au 기판을 반응시켜 계면반응 및 금속간화합물(IMC) 성장을 관찰하고 분석하였다. 반응계면에서 성장하는 주요한 IMC는 CuGa₂ 상이었으며 그 상부에는 작은 입자크기를 가지는 AuGa₂ IMC 그리고 하부에는 얇은 띠 형상의 Cu₉Ga₄ IMC가 형성되었다. CuGa₂ 입자들은 scallop 형상을 보이며 Cu₆Sn₅ 성장의 경우와 비슷하게 반응시간이 증가함에 따라서 큰 형상변화없이 입자 크기가 증가하였다. CuGa₂ 성장기구를 분석한 결과 120-200℃ 온도범위에서 시간지수는 약 3.0으로 산출되었고, 활성화에너지는 17.7 kJ/mol로 측정되었다.

We report a simple eco-friendly process for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using aqueous extract from Coffea Arabica fruit. The formation of AuNPs was confirmed using absorption spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy images. FT-IR analysis demonstrates the major functional groups present in Coffee Arabica fruit extract before and after synthesizing AuNPs. The Face Center Cubic (FCC) polycrystalline nature of these particles was identified by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Taking into account the contribution of the biomass surrounding the AuNPs, dynamic light scattering (DLS) results revealed an average particle size of ~59 nm.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the bond strength of using a Au bonding agent applied on cp-Ti and nonprecious metal-gold-ceramic system. Metallic frameworks(diameter: 5mm, height: 20mm)(N=56, n=7per group) cast in Ni-Cr alloy, Co-Cr alloy and cp-Ti were obtained using acrylic templates and airborne particle abraded with $110{\mu}m$ aluminum oxide. Au bonding agent was applied on wash opaque firing as intermediate layer. SEM and SEM/EDS line profile were performed on the cutting the cross-section of the metal substrate-porcelain with intermediate Au coating. Groups were tested using shear bond strength(SBS) testing at 0.5mm/min. The mean SBS values for the ceramic-Au layer-metal combination were significantly higher than those ceramic-metal combination. While ceramic-Au layer-cp-Ti combinations failed to increase bond strength instead of using a titanium bonding porcelain. The appication of using Au intermediate layer significantly improve the bond strength combination with metal-ceramic system.
