  • 탄소나노튜브는 화학적 안정성과 고전도성을 갖는 동시에 높은 비표면적을 지니고 있다. 이와 같은 특정으로 염료감응형태양전지의 상대전극으로 사용 가능이 기대되어 지고 있으나, 아직 성공적인 연구가 발표되고 있지 않다. 많은 연구자들이 CNT 자체만으로 원하는 효과를 얻지 못하고 있기 때문에, CNT 조작(가공)을 통해 CNT 특성을 올리고자 노력하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서, 가공하지 않은 CNT powder를 이용하여 paste를 제조하고 doctro-blade법으로 코팅하여 CNT counter electrode를 제조하여 DSSC의 상대전극으로써의 적용 가능성을 조사 해 보았다. 제조된 CNT counter electrode에 대한 CNT 자체만의 전기화학적 특성을 측정하였다. 그리고 DSSC 에 직접 적용하여 전지의 광전특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 탄소나노튜브의 고전도성 특성과 넓은 비표면적 특성에 의해 상대전극의 전해질/전극계변에서의 전해질의 산화환원 반응에 대한 촉매 작용을 향상시키고, 상대전극 표변에서의 전자전달 속도를 높여 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율을 높이는 것으로 확인되어졌다.

  • 탄소나노튜브(CNT)를 이용한 전도성 투명 박막은 기존의 산화인듐주석(ITO)보다 가공 공정이 매우 간단하고 제조비용이 저렴하여 다양한 제품에 적용시킬 수 있고, 다양한 기판에 형성시킬 수 있어 새로운 유형의 제품을 만들 수 있는 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 CNT를 이용하여 만든 투명 박막의 전도특성을 높이기 위하여 기존의 CNT 박막에 금속 이온간의 산화-환원 반응을 이용하여 Tin(II) chloride와 silver nitrate로 Ag seed를 형성시켜 투명 전도막 효율 변화를 측정하였다.

  • Nano manipulator is used to manufacture Carbon NanoTube(CNT) tips. Using nano manipulator, operator attaches a CNT at the apex of Atomic Force Microscope(AFM) tip, which requires a mastery of mechanics and long manufacture time. Nano manipulator is installed inside a Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) chamber to observe the operation. This paper presents a control scheme for horizontal axes of nano manipulator via processing SEM image. Edges of AFM tip and CNT are first detected, and the position information so obtained is fed to control horizontal axes of nano manipulator. That is, a visual servoing loop is realized to control the axes more precisely in nano scale.

  • 본 논문은 CNT(Carbon Nano Tube) FEL(Field Emission Lamp)에서 애노드(Anode)-캐소드(Cathode) 구동용 고전압 구동 회로 구현에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 고전압 DC 전원 회로는 턴비가 높은 고전압 트랜스포머의 Leakage 인덕턴스를 이용하는 Series-Resonant 형태의 Full Bridge 컨버터를 적용하고 고전압 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용한다. 고전압 트랜스의 절연전압을 줄이기 위해서 두개의 트랜스포머와 Voltage Multiplier를 이용하여 애노드 전극에는 Positive 고전압, 캐소드 전극에는 Negative 고전압을 인가한다. 이 경우 애노드와 캐소드 사이의 아크 방전 시에도 구동 IC 및 스위칭 소자를 보호할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

  • Carbon nanotube(CNT) has been spotlighted as a promising candidate for catalyst support material for PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell). The considerable properties of CNT include high surface area, outstanding thermal, electrical conductivity and mechanical stability. In this study, to fully utilize the properties of CNTs, we prepared directly oriented CNT on carbon paper as a catalyst support in the cathode electrode. The CNT layer was prepared by a chemical vapor deposition(CVD) process. And the Pt particles were deposited on the CNT oriented carbon paper by impregnation and eletro-deposition method. The potential advantages of directly oriented CNT on carbon paper can include improved thermal and charge transfer through direct contact between the electrolyte and the electrode and enhanced exposure of Pt catalyst sites during the reaction.

In the future, when CNT and the LED based lighting technology standards are writing, this data will be used in judging.

  • The actively addressable carbon nanotube (CNT) emitters have been studied for stable and low-voltage driving field emission display (FED). The a-Si TFT and screen-printed CNT emitters were successfully integrated to fabricate the diode type active-matrix cathode and FED panel. Also, we propose a new FED architecture based on the actively controlled triode CNT emitters showing the properties of ideal triode type cathode with electron beam focusing effect.

  • A powder-in-sheath rolling method was applied to a fabrication of a carbon nano tube (CNT) reinforced aluminum composite. A STS304 tube with an outer diameter of 34 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm was used as a sheath material. A mixture of pure aluminum powders and CNTs with the volume contents of 1, 3, 5 vol was filled in the tube by tap filling and then processed to 73.5% height reduction by a rolling mill. The relative density of the CNT/Al composite fabricated by the powder-in-sheath rolling decreased slightly with increasing of CNTs content, but exhibited high value more than 98. The grain size of the aluminum matrix was largely decreased with addition of CNTs; it decreased from $24{\mu}m$ to $0.9{\mu}m$ by the addition of only 1 volCNT. The average hardness of the composites increased by approximately 3 times with the addition of CNTs, comparing to that of unreinforced pure aluminum. It is concluded that the powder-in-sheath rolling method is an effective process for fabrication of CNT reinforced Al matrix composites.

  • An appropriate way to fabricate a hybrid composite containing evenly dispersed carbon nano tubes(CNTs) is to stacking B-stage resin films that contain evenly dispersed CNTs and various reinforcing fiber layers alternatively. In the present study, B-stage resin films are manufactured via shear mixing and three-roll milling. CNT dispersion in resin via these two processes are evaluated by SEM on their fracture surfaces. For more efficient process, the dispersivities are evaluated according to the number of calendering passes. Samples are made for different number of passes during calendering, and their dispersions are evaluated via SEM fractographs as well as by measuring their electrical conductivities. Additionally, the optimal process conditions are obtained by measuring the electrical conductivity and evaluating their dispersivity of the samples prepared by gap mode and force mode.
