Porous dendrite structure AuCu alloy was formed using a hydrogen bubble template (HBT) technique by electroplating to improve the catalytic performance of gold, known as an excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst in alkaline medium. The rich Au surface was maximized by selectively electrochemical etching Cu on the AuCu dendrite surface well formed in a leaf shape. The catalytic activity is mainly due to the synergistic effect of Au and Cu existing on the surface and inside of the particle. Au helps desorption of OH- and Cu contributes to the activation of O2 molecule. Therefore, the porous AuCu dendrite alloy catalyst showed markedly improved catalytic activity compared to the monometallic system. The porous structure AuCu formed by the hydrogen bubble template was able to control the size of the pores according to the formation time and applied current. In addition, the Au-rich surface area increased by selectively removing Cu through electrochemical etching was measured using an electrochemical calculation method (ECSA). The results of this study suggest that the alloying of porous AuCu dendrites and selective Cu dissolution treatment induces an internal alloying effect and a large specific surface area to improve catalyst performance.

We report the successful preparation of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using a novel electroreduction process, which is simple, fast, and environmentally friendly (toxic chemicals such as strong reducing agents are not required). Our process allows for the mass production of Au NPs and adequate particle size control. The Au NPs prepared show high biocompatibility and are non-toxic to healthy human cells. By applying radio-frequency (RF) ablation, we monitored the electro-hyperthermia effect of the Au NPs at different RFs. The Au NPs exhibit a fast increase in temperature to $55^{\circ}C$ within 5 min during the application of an RF of 13 MHz. This temperature rise is sufficient to promote apoptosis through thermal stress. Our work suggests that the selective Au NP-mediated electro-hyperthermia therapy for tumor cells under an RF of 13 MHz has great potential as a clinical treatment for specific tumor ablation.

에탄올이 이산화탄소가 생성되는 경로로 반응할 경우 12개의 전자를 발생시키게 되지만 실제로는 두 개의 탄소 원자사이의 결합력 때문에 완전 산화시키는 것이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 고성능 에탄을 산화촉매의 개발은 에탄을 연료전지 실용화에 필수적이다. 본 연구는 Pt에 Sn, Au을 첨가하여 이원계, 삼원계 촉매를 제조하여 에탄올에서의 활성과 촉매의 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 촉매합성은 modified polyol 방법을 이용하였으며 Vulcan XC-72R 담지체를 사용하여 20 wt%로 담지하였다. PtSn/c 합금촉매는 Pt : Sn의 비율이 1 : 0, 4 : 1, 3 : 1, 2 : 1, 1.5 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 1.5으로 합성하였으며, PtSnAu/C 합금촉매는 Pt : Sn : Au의 비율을 5 : 5 : 0, 5 : 4 : 1, 5 : 3 : 2, 5 : 2 : 3으로 합성하였다. 촉매특성은 XRD, TEM 분석을 통해 분석한 결과 $1.9{\sim}2.4\;nm$ 정도의 입자의 크기와 면심입방구조의 구조를 가지는 것으로 확인하였다. 에탄올 산화에 대한 합금촉매의 활성은 순환전류전압법으로 실험하였고, 그 중 가장 높은 성능을 가진 PtSn(1.5 : 1)/C와 PtSnAu(5 : 2 : 3)/C 합금촉매를 단위전지 성능평가륵 통해 실제 연료전지 구동환경에서 촉매의 활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 에탄을 산화에 가장 높은 성능을 나타낸 촉매는 PtSn/c(1.5 : 1)이었고, 촉매의 안정성은 PtSnAu/C(5 : 2 : 3)에서 높게 나타났다.

몇 종류의 담지 금촉매를 통상의 함침법과 공침법에 의하여 제조하였다. 금입자의 크기, 산소의 흡착량, CO와 NO의 흡착특성 그리고 산화환원 특성 등의 조사를 통하여, 금의 첨가효과와 활성점의 생성에 관해 연구하였다. 함침법에 의한 촉매의 금입자들은 30~100nm 정도로 크고 균일하지 않았으나, 공침법에 의한 촉매는 약 4nm인 초미립자의 상태로 매우 균일하게 분산되어 있었다 $Au/Al_2O_3$촉매에 있어서, 불활성인 $Al_2O_3$에 금의 첨가로 $N_2O$의 분해가 일어났으며, CO의 비가역흡착은 일어나지 않았으나, $O_2$는 원자상으로 비가역흡착하였다. 산소의 흡착점은 활성점이 금입자 표면에 존재하는 원자 전부가 아니라 반구형인 금입자와 담체의 경계면 주위에 한정된 활성점이었다. 저온의 $Al_2O_3$에서는 CO의 가역흡착과 비가역흡착이 일어났지만, 소량의 금의 첨가에 의하여 어느 쪽의 흡착도 약해졌다. $Au/Co_3O_4$촉매에서 CO에 대한 친화성은 $Co_3O_4$에 비해 크게 감소하였다. 환원과정에서는 금의 첨가효과가 보이지 않고, 재산화과정에서 금의 첨가효과가 뚜렷하게 나타나, 첨가된 금은 환원상태의 코발트의 재산화를 촉진시켰다.

For real-time monitoring of colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous media, a light sheet type dark-field microscopy system combined with a microfluidic concentration gradient generator (${\mu}FCGG$-LSDFM) was developed. Various concentrations of colloidal Au NPs were simultaneously generated with the iFCGG and characterized with the LSDFM setup. The number concentrations and hydrodynamic size distributions were measured via particle counting and tracking analysis (PCA and PTA, respectively) approaches. For the 30 nm Au NPs used in this study, the lower detection limit of the LSDFM setup was 3.6 ng/mL, which is about 400 times better than that of optical density measurements under the same ${\mu}FCGG$ system. Additionally, the hydrodynamic diameter distribution of Au NPs was estimated as $39.7{\pm}12.2nm$ with the PTA approach, which agrees well with DLS measurement as well as the manufacturer's specification. We propose this ${\mu}FCGG$-LSDFM setup with features of automatic generation of NP concentration gradient and real-time monitoring of their physicochemical characteristics (e.g., number concentration, and hydrodynamic size distribution) as an important component of future high-throughput screening or high-content analysis platforms of nanotoxicity.

오로라 제트전류에 영향을 미치는 전기장과 전기전도도의 상대적인 기여도를 조사했다. 이 목적 을 위해서 국제자기권연구 (IMS) 기간인 1978년 3월 17-19일 사이에 관측된 지자기변화자료를 이용했다. Allen & Kroehl (1975)의 연구결과를 바탕으로 새로운 AU 및 AL 지수를 정의하였다. 이들은 각각 $1500\leq MLT\leq1800$ 및 $0000\leq MLT\leq0300$ 구간에 위치한 AE 관측소의 지자기변화자료를 이용해 작성되었다. 그리고 이렇게 정의된 지수로부터 동향 및 서향제트전류의 전류밀도를 계산했다. 저녁영역의 전기전도도는 태양의 EUV 복사에 의한 것으로 가정하고 AU 지수에 기여하는 전기장의 분포를 추정하였다. 나아가 저녁과 새벽영역의 전기장분포가 거의 같다는 관측사실로부터 AL 지수에 영향을 미치는 하강오로라입자에 의한 Hall 천기전도도분포를 추정하는 것이 가능했다. 이렇게 얻어진 전기장 및 전기전도도분포는 각각 AU 및 AL 지수와 비교적 높은 상관관계가 있었다. 이것은 AU 및 AL 지수가 각각 직접가동 및 저장-방충과정과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 시사한다.

SPH is the shorthand for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. This method is a Lagrangian method which means that it involves following the motion of elements of fluid. These elements have the characteristics of particles and the method is called a particle method. A useful review of SPH (Monaghan 1992) gives the basic technique and how it can be applied to numerous problems relevant to astrophysics. You can get some basic SPH programs from http) /www.maths.monash.edu.au/jjm/sphlect In the present lecture I will assume that the student has studied this review and therefore understands the basic principles. In today's lecture I plan to approach the equations from a different perspective by using a variational principle.

This paper describes a new constructing method of multifunctional biosensor using many kinds of biomaterials. A metal particle and an array was fabricated by photolithographic. Biomaterials were immobilized on the metal particle. The array and the particles were mixed in a buffer solution, and were arranged by magnetic force interaction and random fluidic self-assembly. A quarter of total Ni dots were covered by the particles. The binding direction of the particles was controllable, and condition of particles was almost with Au surface on top. The particles were successfully arranged on the array. The biomaterial activities were detected by chemiluminescence and electrochemical methods.
