This work describes the effect of conducting composite on the characteristics of electric double layer capacitor. The cell, which was fabricated with conducting composite consisted of 50 wt.% of SPB and 50 wt.% of VGCF, exhibits the higher specific capacitance, the lower resistance and the better rate capability than those of the cells fabricated with each single electronic conductor. These enhanced properties could be related with the dense structure of electrode.

Photovoltaic(PV) array, which is generally installed outside, has the possibility to be damaged by high voltage due to lightning. Because the electrical characteristics of PV array have not been fully identified by lightning yet, there is a very important issue whether PV array should be connected with ground or not. In this paper, a basic model of PV array is provided considering the PV cell's barrier capacitance and ground capacitance for analysis of electrical characteristics by lightning using PSCAD/EMTDC.

The purpose of this project is to research and development of thin film supercapacitor with conducting polymer composite electrodes and polymer electrolyte which have high energy density for thin film supercapacitor. We investigated cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge cycling of PFPT-flyash electrodes. The first discharge capacity of PFPT-flyash electrode with 40wt.% flyash was 24F/g, while that of PFPT-VOflyash electrode with 40wt.% VOflyash was 32F/g. The capacitance of PFPT-VOflyash composite film with polymer electrolyte was 32 F/g at 1st and 20th cycle, respectively. The capacitance of PFPT-VOflyash/Li cell with 40 wt% VOflyash was 141 F/g at 8th cycle.

Typical Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS)-based solar cells have a buffer layer between CIGS absorber layer and transparent ZnO front electrode, which plays an important role in improving the cell performance. Among various buffer materials, chemical bath deposition (CBD)-ZnS is being steadily studied to alternative to conventional CdS and the efficiency of CBD-ZnS/CIGS solar cell shows the comparable values with that of CdS/CIGS solar cell. The intriguing thing is that reversible changes occur after exposure to illumination due to the metastable defect states in completed ZnS/CIGS solar cell, which induces an improvement of solar cell performance. Thus, it implies that the understanding of metastable defects in CBD-ZnS/CIGS solar cell is important issue. In this study, we fabricate the ITO/i-ZnO/CBD-ZnS/CIGS/Mo/SLG solar cells by controlling the NH4OH mole concentration (from 2 M to 3.5 M) of CBD-ZnS buffer layer and observe their conversion efficiency with and without light soaking for 1 hr. From the results, NH4OH mole concentration and light exposure can significantly affect the CBD-ZnS/CIGS solar cell performance. In order to investigate that which layer can contain metastable defect states to influence on solar cell performance, impedance spectroscopy and capacitance profiling technique with exposure to illumination have been applied to CBD-ZnS/CIGS solar cell. These techniques give a very useful information on the density of states within the bandgap of CIGS, free carriers density, and light-induced metastable effects. Here, we present the rearranged charge distribution after exposure to illumination and suggest the origin of the metastable defect states in CBD-ZnS/CIGS solar cell.

The carbon-in-ash system for simultaneously monitoring the unburned carbon in fly ash produced in a coal-fired power plan is designed and evaluated using the domestic fly ash produced in the coal-fired power plant. Real time monitoring is very important to control the combustion of the boiler in the coal-fired power plant and the purification system for fly ash recycling. The carbon-in-ash system based on the capacitance measurement consists of a LCR meter, a duct collector and an electrode cell. The capacitance of fly ash increases linearly with increasing fly ash carbon contents. The water content in fly ash plays an important role on the ash capacitance. The empirical equation for predicting the content of unburned carbon in fly ash produced in the domestic Boryung, Hadong and Samchenpo coal-fired power plants can be derived in the range of carbon content 0-20%.

Activated carbon (AC) was synthesized from rice husks using the chemical activation method with KOH, NaOH, a combination of (NaOH + $Na_2CO_3$), and a combination of (KOH + $K_2CO_3$) as the chemical activating reagents. The activated carbon with the highest surface area (around $2000m^2/g$) and high porosity, which allows the absorption of a large number of ions, was applied as electrode material in electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs). The AC for EDLC electrodes is required to have a high surface area and an optimal pore size distribution; these are important to attain high specific capacitance of the EDLC electrodes. The electrodes were fabricated by compounding the rice husk activated carbons with super-P and mixed with polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) at a weight ratio of 83:10:7. AC electrodes and nickel foams were assembled with potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution as the electrolyte. Electrochemical measurements were carried out with a three electrode cell using 6 M KOH as electrolyte and Hg/HgO as the reference electrode. The specific capacitance strongly depends on the pore structure; the highest specific capacitance was 179 F/g, obtained for the AC with the highest specific surface area. Additionally, different activation times, levels of heating, and chemical reagents were used to compare and determine the optimal parameters for obtaining high surface area of the activated carbon.

The voltage holding ratio (VHR) and Residual DC property in the in-plane switching (IPS) cell was studied Several IPS cells which have different concentrations of cynao liquid crystals (LCs) and different resistivities of fluorine LCs were fabricated VHR and residual DC voltage in the IPS cells using the capacitance-voltage (C-V) hysteresis method was measured. We found that the VHR of the IPS cell was decreasing with increasing concentration of cyano LC. The residual DC voltage of the IPS cell was decreasing with increasing concentration of cyano LCs. We suggest that the high polarity of cyano LC helps reducing the residual DC voltage.

3전극 면방전형 AC-PDP의 구동에 있어서 방전유지시 구동진동수에 따른 전기적인 특성의 변화, 즉 셀 내의정전용량, 벽전하량, 벽전압, 응답시간, 메모리 상수등을 측정하였다. 본 연구를 위하여 셀핏치 1,080$mu extrm{m}$의 test panel을 제작하였다. 방전 유지전극의 폭과 간격은 각각 260$\mu\textrm{m}$, 100$\mu\textrm{m}$ 유전층은 30$\mu\textrm{m}$, 격벽은 120$\mu\textrm{m}$로 제작하였다. 방전유지전극에 150ns의 상승시간을 갖는 duty 40%의 사각파를 10~200kHz의 다양한 진동수로 인가하고, 이때 얻어지는 전압, 전류 파형과 QV 해석을 통하여 셀 내의 정전용량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 방전공간의 정전용량(Co)은 0.3pF/cell 으로 거의 일정하였으나, 유전층 내의 정전용량(Cg)는 진동수 증가에 따라 7.5pF/cell에서 0.8pF/cell까지 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 전극간 정전용량(Cp)은 벽전하의 영향으로 nagative capacitance 특성을 보였다. 구동진동수가 10kHz에서 200kHz로 증가함에 따라 벽전하량은 34.5pC/ceoo에서 15.6pC/cell로 감소하며, 벽전압도 구동진동수 증가에 따라 104.4V에서 76.5V까지 감소하는 경향을 보였다.
