초임계 용액 급속팽창법(rapid expansion of supercritical solution, RESS)으로 몰시도민(molsidomine, MOL) 약물이 로딩 된 퍼아세틸-β-사이클로덱스트린(PAc-β-CD) 나노 입자를 제조하였다. 입자는 초임계 용액을 공기 중으로 급속하게 팽창시켜 제조하였다. MOL과 PAc-β-CD (0.5, 1 wt%)의 농도, 추출 온도(45 ~ 60 ℃), 모세관 노즐의 길이(5 ~ 20 mm) 및 내경(Inner diameter, ID) (50 ~ 150 μm), 그리고 분사 거리의 변화에 따라 형성된 입자의 크기와 모폴로지를 조사하였다. MOL과 PAc-β-CD의 상호작용을 ¹H-NMR 분광법으로 확인하였고, 입자 크기는 주사 전자 현미경으로 측정하였다. 온도를 45 ℃에서 60 ℃로 올리거나 노즐 내경을 150 μm에서 50 μm로 줄이면 입자 평균 크기가 증가하였으며, 반면에 일정한 압력(34.5 MPa)과 온도(45 ℃)에서 분사 거리를 늘리면 입자 평균 크기가 감소하는 효과를 나타내었다. 0.5 wt%의 PAc-β-CD 농도로서 초임계 공정을 진행한 결과, 모세관의 길이가 짧고(5 mm) 내경이 작은(50 μm) 조건에서 크기가 가장 작은(165 nm) 입자가 얻어졌다. 제조한 나노 입자는 오일 내에서 분산성과 용해도가 증가하였으며, 포접체 입자에서 MOL이 방출되는 시간이 지연되는 것을 확인하였다.

The performance of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is directly related to the electrocatalytic activity of composite electrodes in which triple phase boundaries (TPBs) of metallic catalyst, oxygen ion conducting support, and gas should be three-dimensionally maximized. The distribution morphology of catalytic nanoparticle dispersed on external surfaces is of key importance for maximized TPBs. Herein in situ grown nickel nanoparticle onto the surface of fluorite oxide is demonstrated employing gadolium-nickel co-doped ceria ($Gd0.2-xNixCe0.8O2-{\delta}$, GNDC) by reductive annealing. GNDC powders were synthesized via a Pechini-type sol-gel process while maximum doping ratio of Ni into the cerium oxide was defined by X-ray diffraction. Subsequently, NiO-GNDC composite were screen printed on the both sides of yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) pellet to fabricate the symmetrical half cells. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that the polarization resistance was decreased when it was compared to conventional Ni-GDC anode and this effect became greater at lower temperature. Ex situ microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy after the reductive annealing exhibited the exsolution of Ni nanoparticles on the fluorite phases. The influence of Ni contents in GNDC on polarization characteristics of anodes were examined by EIS under H2/H2O atmosphere. Finally, the addition of optimized GNDC into the anode functional layer (AFL) dramatically enhanced cell performance of anode-supported coin cells.

The electrochemical performance and microstructure of Al-Si, Al-Si/C was investigated as anode for lithium ion battery. The Al-Si nano composite with 5 : 1 at% ratio was prepared by arc-discharge nano powder process. However, some of problem is occurred, when Al nano composite was synthesized by this manufacturing. The oxidation film is generated around Al-Si particles for passivating processing in the manufacture. The oxidation film interrupts electrical chemistry reaction during lithium ion insertion/extraction for charge and discharge. Because of the existence the oxidation film, Al-Si first cycle capacity is very lower than other examples. Therefore, carbon synthsized by glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) was conducted to remove the oxidation film covered on the composite. The results showed that the first discharge cycle capacity of Al-Si/C is improved to 113mAh/g comparing with Al-Si (18.6mAh/g). Furthermore, XRD data and TEM images indicate that $Al_4C_3$ crystalline exist in Al-Si/C composite. In addition the Si-Al anode material, in which silicon is more contained was tested by same method as above, it was investigated to check the anode capacity and morphology properties in accordance with changing content of silicon, Si-Al anode has much higher initial discharge capacity(about 500mAh/g) than anode materials based on Aluminum as well as the morphology properties is also very different with the anode based Aluminum.

Composite membranes with a titania layer were prepared by soaking-rolling method with the titania sol of nanoparticles formed in the sol-gel process and investigated regarding the vapor permeation of various organic mixtures. The support modification was conducted by pressing $SiO_2$ xerogel of 500 nm in particle size under 10 MPa on the surface of a porous stainless steel (SUS) substrate and designed the multi-layered structure by coating the intermediate layer of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Microstructure of titania membrane was affected by heat-treatment and synthesis conditions of precursor sol, and titania formed at calcination temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$ with sol of [$H^+$]/[TIP]=0.3 possessed surface area of 210 $m^2$/g, average pore size of 1.25 nm. The titania composite membrane showed high $H_2/N_2$ selectivity and water/ethanol selectivity as 25-30 and 50-100, respectively. As a result of vapor permeation for water-alcohol and alcohol-alcohol mixture, titania composite membrane showed water-permselective and molecular-sieve permeation behavior. However, water/methanol selectivity of the membrane was very low because of chemical affinity of permeants for the membrane by similar physicochemical properties of water and methanol.

Here, we present a facile method to synthesize Pt nanoparticles (NPs) and graphene composite materials (Pt/G) via vacuum filtration. Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates were used to separate Pt/G composite and liquid phase. This method can be used to easily tune the mass ratio of Pt NPs and graphene. Pt NPs, graphene, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as building blocks were characterized by a variety of techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. We compared the electrocatalytic activities of Pt/G with Pt NP and CNT films (Pt/CNT) by cyclic voltammetry (CV), CO oxidation, and methanol oxidation. Pt/G was much more stable than pure Pt films. Also, Pt/G had better electrochemical activity, CO tolerance and methanol oxidation than Pt/CNT loaded with the same amount of Pt NPs due to the better dispersion of Pt NPs on graphene flakes without aggregation. We further synthesized Au@Pt disk/G and Pt nanorods/G to determine if our synthetic method can be applied to other NP shapes such as nanodisks and nanorods, for further electrocatalysis studies.

물 부족을 포함한 기후 변화의 해로운 결과는 효과적인 정수에 대한 관심을 가져왔다. 또한, 수질 오염 수준이 높아지고 환경 파괴 수준이 심해지면서 오염 물질을 제거하려는 방안들이 요구되고 있다. 물을 정화하기 위해 반투막을 통한 삼투압 절차들을 사용할 수 있으며, 최근 연구에 따르면 탄소 양자점(CQD), 그래핀 양자점(GQD) 및 산화 그래핀 양자점(GOQD)을 포함한 나노입자를 복합 박막(TFC)에 합체하면 유사한 수준의 염 거부율을 유지하면서 물흐름을 증가시킬 수 있다. 이러한 효과 외의 여러 가지 효과가 있지만 그 중에서도 친수성을 높이고, 살균 성질을 보이고, 방오 특성으로 인해 박테리아 및 기타 미생물의 축적을 방지하면서 막의 효과가 감소하는 것을 막는 것을 보여준다. 이 보고서는 양자점이 합체된 정수용 복합 막에서 양자점의 제조 과정, 응용, 기능성, 성질 및 역할을 논의한다.

PTMSP에 $0{\sim}20$ wt% PMMH dendrimer 나노입자를 가하여 PTMSP/PMMH dendrimer 복합막을 제조하였다. 복합막의 기체 투과특성에 미치는 PMMH denimer의 영향을 조사하였다. $H_2,\;N_2,\;CO_2,\;CH_4$의 투과도는 PTMSP 내 PMMH endrimer의 함량이 증가하면서 감소하였다. PTMSP/PMMH dendrimer 복합막에서 수소를 제외한 다른 기체들의 투과도 순서는 $N_2\;<\;CH_4\;<\;CO_2$이며, 이것은 기체의 임계온도의 순서 $N_2\;<\;CH_4 <\;CO_2$와 일치하고 있다. $N_2$에 대한 기체의 선택도는 PTMSP 내의 PMMH denimer의 함량이 증가하면서 증가하였다. $CO_2/N_2$ 선택도는 5.6에서 16.9로 증가하였다.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT)/$SnO_2$ nano-composite (MSC) for the anode electrode of a Li-ion battery was prepared using a homogeneous precipitation method with $SnCl_2$ precursors in the presence of MWNT. XRD results indicate that when annealed in Ar at $400^{\circ}C$, $Sn_6O_4(OH)_4$ was fully converted to $SnO_2$ phases. TEM observations showed that most of the $SnO_2$ nanoparticles were deposited directly on the outside surface of the MWNT. The electrochemical performance of the MSC electrode showed higher specific capacities than a MWNT and better cycleability than a nano-$SnO_2$ electrode. The electrochemical performance of the MSC electrode improved because the MWNT in the MSC electrode absorbed the mechanical stress induced from a volume change during alloying and de-alloying reactions with lithium, leading to an increase in the electrical conductivity of the composite material.

To reduce polarization of electrochemical capacitor based on carbon nanotube, titanium oxide nanoparticles were deposited by ultrasound. The pore distribution of $TiO_2$/CNT nanoparticle exhibited surface area of $341\;m^2g^{-1}$ when $TiO_2$ content was 4 wt %, which was better than that of pristine CNT with surface area of $188\;m^2g^{-1}$. The analyses indicated that titanium oxide (particle diameter < 20 nm) was deposited on the CNT surface. The electrochemical performance was evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry (CV), impedance measurement, and constant-current charge/discharge cycling techniques. The $TiO_2$/CNT composite electrode showed relatively better electrochemical behaviors than CNT electrode by increasing the specific capacitance from $22\;Fg^{-1}$ to $37\;Fg^{-1}$ in 1 M $H_2SO_4$ solution. A symmetric cell assembled with the composite electrodes showed the specific capacitance value of $11\;Fg^{-1}$ at a current loading of $0.5\;mAcm^{-2}$ during initial cycling.
