본 논문은 층간 삽입 반응을 이용하여 그래핀을 박리하는 동시에 탄소나노튜브를 개별 분산시키고 이를 복합 필름으로 제조한 결과를 보고한다. 일반적으로 그래핀과 탄소나노튜브의 경우 흑연과 탄소나노튜브 번들로부터의 개별적 박리를 통해 제조될 수 있으나 장시간의 공정 시간을 요구하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 그래핀과 탄소나노튜브의 동시 박리 및 분산을 위해 흑연 및 탄소나노튜브 번들 내로 포타슘 소듐 타르트레이트를 삽입했으며 XRD 분석을 통해 흑연 층간 거리 및 탄소나노노튜브 번들 내 거리의 증가를 확인했다. 제조된 층간삽입화합물로부터 박리된 그래핀 및 탄소나노튜브의 경우 매우 낮은 산화도(< 8.3 at%)를 나타냈으며 제조된 물질을 여과 장치 및 스프레이 전사를 통해 복합 필름으로 제조한 결과 그래핀 및 탄소나노튜브의 단일 필름에 대비하여 복합 필름의 경우 전도성의 향상을 보였다.

탄소나노튜브(CNT), 불소계 아크릴레이트 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate(3FMA) 및 유-무기 조성비와 같은 합성조건을 달리하여 제조된 자외선 경화형 유-무기 하이브리드 코팅 막의 표면특성 및 내오존성에 대해 연구하였다. 코팅 막은 금속 알콕사이드 전구체인 tetraethoxysilane(TEOS)와 실란 커플링제인 methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS)로 구성된 유-무기 혼성 용액에 탄소나노튜브 및 3FMA와 자외선 경화를 위한 유기물을 첨가하여 제조된 코팅제를 자외선 경화시켜 제조하였다. 제조된 코팅 막의 내오존성 및 기재와의 접착력은 TEOS, 3FMA 및 CNT의 함량에 크게 영향을 받는다는 것을 확인하였다. 특히, 탄소나노튜브가 첨가된 코팅 막은 우수한 내오존성 및 접착력 뿐만 아니라 높은 표면경도를 나타내었다. TEOS의 경우, 함량이 증가할수록 표면경도 및 내오존성은 향상되었지만, 기재와의 접착력은 감소되었다. 불소아크릴레이트 3FMA의 경우, 함량이 증가할수록 내오존성은 향상되었지만 표면경도는 감소하였다.

The micro-gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was fabricated and its gas sensing characteristics on nitrogen dioxide ($NO_{2}$) have been investigated. The sensor consists of a heater, an insulating layer, a pair of contact electrodes, and CNT-sensing film on a micromachined diaphragm. The heater plays a role in the temperature change to modify sensor operation. Gas sensor responses of CNT-film to $NO_{2}$ at room temperature are reported. The sensor exhibits a reversible response with a time constant of a few minutes at thermal treatment temperature of $130^{\circ}C$.

We report the fabrication of a CdS/CuInGaSe (CdS/CIGS) structure with carbon nanotubes and its application as a photocathode for photoelectrochemical water splitting. CIGS thin films were fabricated using co-evaporation by RF magnetron sputtering, while CdS was fabricated by chemical bath deposition. Spray coated multi-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) film on CdS/CIGS thin film was investigated as a photocathode. The CNT-coated CdS/CIGS showed superior photocurrent density and exhibited improved photostability.

RF plasma CVD법을 이용하여 금속 촉매(Fe)가 증착된 $SiO_2$ 기판 위에 $H_2$와 $C_2H_2$의 혼합가스를 사용하여 증착된 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT)의 특성에 대한 기판의 온도의 영향을 조사하였다. $SiO_2$ 위에 철 촉매는 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터에 의해 만들어졌다. 고 순도의 나노튜브 박막을 얻기 위해서 기판 홀더 위에 접지된 그리드 메쉬 커버를 설치하였다. 증착된 CNT의 표면 미세구조 및 화학적 구조를 SEM, Raman, XPS, 그리고 TEM으로 측정하였다. 증착된 CNT 박막들은 대나무 같은 다중벽 구조를 가지는 탄소 파이버 형태였으며 $55^{\circ}C$에서 보다 $600^{\circ}C$에서 보다 더 치밀한 구조를 보이나 $650^{\circ}C$에서는 밀도가 다소 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

A composite film of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/sol-gel-derived zinc oxide(ZnO)/Nafion has been utilized as an efficient immobilization matrix for the construction of a highly sensitive and stable tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) (Ru(${bpy)_3}^{2+})$ electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) sensor. The electrochemical and ECL behaviors of Ru(${bpy)_3}^{2+})$ ion-exchanged into the composite film were strongly dependent upon the sol-gel preparation condition, the amount of MWCNT incorporated into the ZnO/Nafion composite film, and the buffer solution pH. The synergistic effect of MWCNTs and ZnO in the composite films increased not only the sensitivity but also the long-term stability of the ECL sensor. The present ECL sensor based on the MWCNT/ZnO/Nafion gave a linear response ($R^2$ = 0.999) for tripropylamine concentration from 500 nM to 1.0 mM with a remarkable detection limit (S/N = 3) of 15 nM. The present ECL sensor showed outstanding long-term stability (94% initial signal retained for 5 weeks). Since the present ECL sensor exhibits large response towards NADH, it could be applied as a transduction platform for the ECL biosensor in which the NADH is produced from the dehydrogenase-based enzymatic reaction in the presence of NA$D^+$ cofactor.

A highly sensitive electrochemical detection method for dopamine (DA) has been developed by relying on a multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT)-sol-gel titania-Nafion composite film modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity towards DA. Therefore, the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode showed improved voltammetric and amperometric responses for DA compared to those obtained with both titania-Nafion/GC and Nafion/GC electrodes. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode gave a linear response ($R^2$ = 0.999) for DA from $0.5\;{\mu}M$ to 0.5 mM with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of $0.1\;{\mu}M$ and a good sensitivity of 150 mA/M while other electrodes such as CNT-Nafion/GC, titania-Nafion/GC, and a bare GC gave a sensitivity of 89, 39, and 36 mA/M, respectively. Besides, the CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode displayed very fast response time within 2 s. The modified electrode showed good selectivity against ascorbic acid. The modified electrode showed good stability and reproducibility. The CNT-titania-Nafion/GC electrode was applied to the determination of DA in urine and serum samples.

Although a transparent conductive film (TCF) belongs to essential supporting materials for many device applications such as touch screens, flat panel displays, and sensors, a conventional transparent conductive material, indium-tin oxide (ITO), suffers from considerable drawback because the price of indium has soared since 2001. Despite a recent falloff, a demand of ITO is expected to increase sharply in the future due to the trend of flat panel display technologies toward flexible, paper-like features. There have been recently extensive studies to replace ITO with new materials, in particular, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) since CNTs possess excellent properties such as flexibility, electrical conductivity, optical transparency, mechanical strength, etc., which are prerequisite to TCFs. This study fabricated TCFs with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produced by arc discharge. The SWCNTs were dispersed in water with a surfactant of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (NaDDBS) under sonication. Carbon black and fullerene nanoparticles were added to the SWCNT-dispersed solution to enhance contact resistance between CNTs. TCFs were manufactured by a filtration and transfer method. TCFs added with carbon black and fullerene nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-vis spectroscopy (optical transmittance), and four-point probe measurement (sheet resistance).

Using various surfactants, multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) was dispersed in organic solvent, isopropylalcohol(IPA). To refine the MWNT and give the functional group, MWNT was treated with sulfuric acid/nitric acid(v/v=3/1). The cationic, nonionic and anionic surfactants were used as MWNT dispersion agents in the organic solvent. Dispersion effect of various surfactants was observed by optical microscope and HR-TEM. Surface resistivities of MWNT dispersions were measured after coating on PET film. MWNT was dispersed well by poly vinyl pyrrolidone(PVP), nonionic surfactant.
