Dye sensitized solar cells(DSC) have been very economical and easy method to convert solar energy to electricity. DSC can reach low costs in future outdoor power applications. However, to commercialize the DSC, there are still many shortages to overcome such as a low efficiency in a large size DSC. In this study, DSCs were fabricated by an electrospray coating method for the $TiO_2$ thin film. They were compared with DSCs prepared by conventional coating methods. We conducted an experiment to obtain the optimized parameters of voltage, flow rate, incident angle and distance in the electrospray method. After we manufactured $TiO_2$ film using that way, we could analyze the characteristics of DSC through SEM, UV curve, EIS.

The effects of carbon-coated silicon/graphite (Si/Gr.) composite anode on the electrochemical properties were investigated. The nanosized silicon particle shows a good cycling performance with a reasonable value of the first reversible capacity as compared with microsized silicon particle. The carbon-coated silicon/graphite composite powders have been prepared by pyrolysis method under argon/10 wt% propylene gas flow at $700{^{\circ}C}$ for 7 h. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis indicates that the carbon layer thickness of 5 nm was coated uniformly onto the surface silicon powder. It is confirmed that the insertion of lithium ions change the crystalline silicon phase into the amorphous phase by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The carbon-coated composite silicon/graphite anode shows excellent cycling performance with a reversible value of 700 mAh/g. The superior electrochemical characteristics are attributed to the enhanced electronic conductivity and low volume change of silicon powder during cycling by carbon coating.

A high-performing photoelectric device was realized for the $MoS_2$-embedded Si device. $MoS_2$-coating was performed by an available large-scale sputtering method. The $MoS_2$-layer coating on the p-Si spontaneously provides the rectifying current flow with a significant rectifying ratio of 617. Moreover, the highly optical transmittance of the $MoS_2$-layer provides over 80% transmittance for broad wavelengths. The $MoS_2$-embedded Si photodetector shows the sensitive photo-response for middle and long-wavelength photons due to the functional $MoS_2$-layer, which resolves the conventional limit of Si for long wavelength detection. The functional design of $MoS_2$-layer would provide a promising route for enhanced photoelectric devices, including photovoltaic cells and photodetectors.

In manufacturing optical fibers, the process starts with the glass fiber drawing from the heated and softened silica preform in the furnace, and the freshly drawn glass fiber is still at high temperature when it leaves the glass fiber drawing furnace. It is necessary to cool down the glass fiber to the ambient temperature before it then enters the fiber coating applicator, since the hot glass fiber is known to cause several technical difficulties in achieving high quality fiber coating. As the fiber drawing speed keeps increasing, a current manufacturing of optical fibers requires a dedicated cooling unit with helium gas injection. A series of three-dimensional flow and heat transfer computations are carried out to investigate the effectiveness of fiber cooling in the fiber cooling unit. The glass fiber cooling unit is simplified into the long cylindrical enclosure at which the hot glass fiber passes through at high speed, and the helium is being supplied through several injection slots of rectangular shape along the cooling unit. This study presents and discusses the effects of helium injection rates on the glass fiber cooling rates.

This work was tamed out to apply a laser welding technique in joining between a Zn coated low carbon steel plate(SECC) and a free cutting carbon steel shaft(SUM24L) with or without W coating. Experiments were carried out and analysed by applying the FD(factorial design)method to obtain the optimum Laser welding condition. Optical microscopy, SEM, TEM and XRD analyses were performed in order to observe the microstructures in the fusion zone and the HAZ. Mechanical properties of the welded specimens were examined by microhardness test, tensile test and twist test. There was no flawed Zn in the fusion zone by EDS analysis. This means that during the welding process, Zn gas could be eliminated by appropriate shielding gas flow rate and butt welding gap. Ni coating itself did not influence on the tensile strength and hardness. However, twist bending strength and the weld depth of the Ni-coated free cutting carbon steel were lower as compared with those of the uncoated free cutting carbon steel. It was attributed to a lower absorbance of laser beam to the shin Ni surface. According to the results of the factorial design tests, the twist bending strength of welded specimens was primarily affected by pulse width, laser power, frequency and speed.

Low-k wafer engraving process has been investigated by using UV pico-second laser with high repetition rate. Wavelength and repetition rate of laser used in this study are 355nm and 80MHz, respectively. Main parameters of low-k wafer engraving processes are laser power, work speed, assist gas flow rate, and protective coating to eliminate debris. Results show that engraving qualities of low-k layer by using UV pico-second pulse width and high repetition rate had better kerf edge and higher work speed, compared to one by conventional laser with nano-second pulse width and low repetition rate in the range of kHz. Assist gas and protective coating to eliminate debris gave effects on the quality of engraving edge. Total engraving width and depth are obtained less than $20{\mu}m$ and $10{\mu}m$ at more than 500mm/sec work speed, respectively. We believe that engraving method by using UV pico-second laser with high repetition rate is useful one to give high work speed of laser material process.

회전원판 위 표면에 작용하는 유동 전단응력은 표면마모를 발생시키는 주원인이다. 유체는 원심력에 의해 가장자리까지 자유표면을 갖는 박막유동으로 전달된다. 표면마모는 받음각 또는 곡률에 따른 전단응력 정도에 비례하여 차이를 보이게 된다. 전산해석을 통한 속도분포 기울기로 받음각에 기준한 곡률의 전단응력비를 비교하였다. 곡률반경 변화에 따른 전단유동의 응력감소를 모델링하여 표면마모를 효율적으로 줄일 수 있는 최적구간을 결정하는 것이 본 연구의 주제이며, 이 연구결과는 회전무화나 박막코팅과 같은 박막유동을 활용하는 기구의 최적설계에 적용될 수 있다.

전기자동차는 가솔린 자동차와는 달리 배출가스가 없어 친환경 차량을 대표하지만, 장착된 축전지에 충전된 전기로 구동되기 때문에, 1회 충전으로 갈 수 있는 거리가 전지의 에너지 밀도에 의해 좌우된다. 따라서 높은 에너지 밀도를 갖는 리튬이온 전지가 전기자동차용 전지로 유력한 후보이다. 리튬이온 전지의 효율을 지배하는 중요한 구성품은 전극이므로 전극 제조공정은 리튬이온 전지 전체 생산 공정에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 특히 전극의 제조 공정 중 코팅 공정은 성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 매우 중요한 공정이다. 본 논문에서는 전극 제조에서 코팅 공법의 효율성 및 생산성 증대를 위한 혁신적인 공정을 제안하고, 장비 설계 방법 및 개발 결과에 대하여 기술하였다. 구체적으로, 극판 핵심 코팅 품질 25% Upgrade 기술, 제품 고출력/고용량화 에 따른 조립 마진 감소 대응 가능 기술, 그리고 제품 용량 품질 및 조립 공정 수율 향상 기술들에 대한 설계 절차 및 개발방법을 제시하였다. 결과로 리튬이온 배터리의 셀의 제품 수명 개선 효과를 확보 하였다. 기존의 코팅 공정과 비교할 때 양극 용량 유지 위해 Target Loading Level 유지, 산포를 향상시켰다(${\pm}0.4{\rightarrow}{\pm}0.3mg/cm^2r$감소).
