Inorganic metal multi-layer(IMML) consisting of Al/Al:SiO/Al was developed as a cathode for OLED to reduce the reflectance generated from ambient light. Device structure of green OLED was ITO/2-TNATA/$\alpha$-NPD/$Alq_3$:C545T/Balq/$Alq_3$/LiF/IMML and IMML was composed of three different layers: thin aluminum layer, aluminum layer doped with silicon monoxide and thick aluminum layer. Average reflectance of green OLED was 9.63% while that of conventional OLED with or without polarizer showed the average reflectance of 8.54% and 66% respectively at visible range from 380 nm to 780 nm.

The transient behavior of a passive air breathing direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) operated on vapor-feeding mode is studied in this paper. It generally takes 30 minutes after starting for the cell response to come to its steady-state and the response is sometimes unstable. A mathematical dynamic one-dimensional model for simulating transient response of the DMFC is presented. In this model a DMFC is decomposed into its subsystems using lumped model and divided into five layers, namely the anodic diffusion layer, the anodic catalyst layer, the proton exchange membrane (PEM), the cathodic catalyst layer and the cathodic diffusion layer. All layers are considered to have finite thickness, and within every one of them a set of differential-algebraic governing equations are given to represent multi-components mass balance, such as methanol, water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, charge balance, the electrochemical reaction and mass transport phenomena. A one-dimensional, isothermal and mass transport model is developed that captures the coupling between water generation and transport, oxygen consumption and natural convection. The single cell is supplied by pure methanol vapor from a methanol reservoir at the anode, and the oxygen is supplied via natural air-breathing at the cathode. The water is not supplied from external source because the cell uses the water created at the cathode using water back diffusion through nafion membrane. As a result of simulation strong effects of water transport were found out. The model analysis provides several conclusions. The performance drop after peak point is caused by insufficiency of water at the anode. The excess water at the cathode makes performance recovery impossible. The undesired crossover of the reactant methanol through the PEM causes overpotential at the cathode and limits the feeding methanol concentration.

OLED(organic light emitting diode)는 차세대 평판 디스플레이로 전자종이, 입는 디스플레이 등 flexible한 디스플레이로도 주목받고 있다. 하지만, OLED의 가장 큰 단점 중의 하나가 수분과 산소에 매우 민감하다는 것으로 이것은 OLED의 lifetime과 연결된다. 따라서 이에 대한 mechanism의 확립이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, flexible한 OLED에 적용되는 금속 코팅막의 적층구조 및 기판의 노출온도에 따른 금속 코팅막의 수분침투 특성에 대해 MOCON의 weight gain test (WGT)를 통해 barrier layer에 대해 평가하고 이에 대한 mechanism을 확립하는데 그 목적이 있다. 금속 코팅막은 OLED의 cathode와 anode 재료로 많이 사용되는 Al과 ITO를 sputter장비를 이용해 single layer와 multi-layer의 두 가지 구조로 PET기판에 증착하였다. 또한, 노출온도에 따른 특성을 알아보고자 bare PET / ITO coated PET(single layer $50{\mu}m$) / Al coated PET(single layer $200{\mu}m$)의 세 가지 시편을 제작하였다. 이 시편을 각각 $25^{\circ}C$, $37.8^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 test를 진행하였고 이 과정을 100%RH, 70%RH, 40%RH조건의 수분조건에서 진행하여 각각의 수분조건에서 각각의 온도에 따른 금속 코팅막의 수분침투 특성에 대한 mechanism을 확립하였다. 적층구조에 따른 수분침투 특성 평가 결과 multi-layer가 single layer보다 더 우수한 수분침투의 barrier 특성을 나타냈었다. 그리고 각 온도에 따른 test결과 온도가 증가할수록 barrier의 특성이 나빠짐이 보였다.

The liquid cathode processing is necessary to separate cadmium from the actinide elements in the pyroprocessing since the actinide deposits are dissolved or precipitated in a liquid cathode. Distillation process was employed for the cathode processing owing to the compactness. It is very important to avoid a splattering of cadmium during evaporation due to the high vapor pressure. Several methods have been proposed to lower the splattering of cadmium during distillation. A multi-layer porous round cover was proposed to avoid a cadmium splattering in our previous study. In this study, distillation behavior of $Cd-ZrO_2$ and Cd - Bi systems were investigated to examine a multi-layer porous round cover for the development of the cadmium splatter shield of distillation crucible. It was designed that the cadmium vapor can be released through the holes of the shield, whereas liquid drops can be collected in the multiple hemisphere. The cover was made with three stainless steel round plates with a diameter of 33.50 mm. The distance between the hemispheres and the diameter of the holes are 10 and 1 mm, respectively. Bismuth or zirconium oxide powder was used as a surrogate for the actinide elements. About 40 grams of Cd was distilled at a reduced pressure for two hours at various temperatures. The mixture of the cadmium and the surrogate was distilled at 470, 570 and $620^{\circ}C$ in the crucible with the cover. Most of the bismuth or zirconia remained in the crucible after distillation at 470 and $570^{\circ}C$ for two hours. It was considered that the crucible cover hindered the splattering of the liquid cadmium from the distillation crucible. A considerable amount of the surrogate material reduced after distillation at $620^{\circ}C$ due to the splattering of the liquid cadmium. The low temperature is favorable to avoid a liquid cadmium splattering during distillation. However, the optimum temperature for the cadmium distillation should be decided further, since the evaporation rate decreases with a decreasing temperature.

IMML(Inorganic metal multi-layer) was used as cathode in the OLED devices to reduce the reflectance or ITO and increase the contrast ratio. Device structure was $ITO/{\alpha}-NPD/Alq_3:DCJTB/Alq_3/IMML/Al$. $Alq_3$ and DCJTB (4 - (dicyanomethylene) - 2 - ( 1 - propyls) 6 - methy 4H - pyrans) as host material lot red emission and red emitting guest material. IMML made three different layer: thin aluminum layer, aluminum layer doped with silicon monoxide, thick aluminum layer. The red OLED device with IMML showed the average reflectance of $4.97\%$, and then normal OLED with or without polarizer showed the average reflectance of $4.55\%$, $46\%$ at visible range from 380 nm to 780 nm. The brightness of OLED with IMML at 13 V was 5557 $cd/m^2$, and that of normal OLED with polarizer was 4872 $cd/m^2$. IMML could be the substitution for polarizer with same reflection, low cost, easy process in flat panel display market.

We report the use of fluorene based copolymers containing quinoline(POF66, PIF66) and pyridine(PFPV) units as electron transporting polymers for multi-layered LEDs. Double-layer device structure combining PIF66 as electron-transporting layer with the emissive MEHPPV showed a maximum quantum efficiency of 0.03%, which is 30 fold increased compared with ITO/MEHPPV/Al single-layer device. PFPV layer increased the quantum efficiency up to 0.1% in the device structure of ITO/(P-3:PVK)/PFPV/Al. The ETL with the electron deficient moiety improved the LED performance by the characteristics of electron transporting as well as hole blocking between emissive layer and metal cathode.

Organic EL has been expected to adopt to a new styles of technology that make flat display after Tang & Vanslyke made good electric luminescence device in late 1980s. Their studies based on multi layer structure that consists of emitting layer and carrier transporting layer using proper organic material. But oxidization of organic layer by ITO, energy walls in both pole interface, contaminations of ITO surface, importance of protecting membrane, diffusive dimming of light to cathode organic layer, these causes of degradations are common facts of a macromolecule and micro molecule. We think these degradation caused by the impact of heat and electro-chemical factor, bulk effect and interface phenomenon, and raise a question.

본 연구에서는 양극의 two-phase simulation 모델을 확립하고 GDL 물성과 작동조건이 전지성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 시행하였다. 모델로는 Multi-phase $mixture(M^2)$ 모델을 사용하였는데 이 모델은 각 상의 balance식을 하나의 mixture-phase식으로 통합하여 수학적 계산이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 실제 전지 성능에 매우 근사하여 신뢰성성도 확보할 수 있었다. 최적의 GDL 구조와 작동조건을 규명하기 위해 기체투과도, 접촉각, 기공도, 기체 공급가스 차이에 따른 전지 성능 분석을 시행하였는데 그 결과 모든 파라미터들이 증가할수록 비례적으로 전지 성능이 증가하였다. 기체 공급가스>기공도>>접촉각>기체투과도 순으로 전지에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The impedance spectroscopy is one of the effective ways to understand the electrical properties of organic light emitting diodes. The frequency-dependant properties of small molecule based OLEDs have been studied. The equivalent circuit of single-layer device is composed of contact resistance ($R_c$), bulk resistance ($R_p$) and bulk capacitance ($C_p$). The equivalent circuit of double layer device is composed of two parallel circuits connected in series, each of which is a parallel resistor and a capacitor. We have fabricated a double layer device indium-rio-oxide (ITO, anode), N,NV -diphenyl- N,NV -bis(3-methylphenyI)-1,1V -diphenyl-4,4V-diamine (TPD, hole-transporting layer), tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3, emitting layer), and aluminum (AI, cathode) and two single layer devices ([TO/ Alq3/ AI, ITO/TPD/AI).
