Chalcopyrite semiconductor $CuInSe_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using a low temperature colloidal route by reacting the starting materials (CuI, $InI_3$ and $Na_2Se$) in solvents. After synthesised $CuInSe_2$ nanoparticles precursors were mixed with organic binder for the viscosity of the precursor slurry to be suitable for the doctor blade method. The mixture of $CuInSe_2$ and binder was deposited onto molybdenum-coated sodalime glass substrates to form thin film. The precursor thin films were preheated on the hot plate to remove remaining solvents and binder material. After subsequent thermal processing of the thin film under a selenium ambient, $CuInSe_2$ absorber layer with grain size significantly lager than that of the nanoparticles was formed.

Ethylene glycol-based Cu nanofluids were prepared by pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method. The structural properties of Cu nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The average diameter and Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) surface area of Cu nanoparticles were about 100 nm and $7.46\;m^2/g$, respectively. The thermal conductivity and viscosity of copper nanofluid were measured as functions of Cu concentration and temperature. As the volume fraction of Cu nanoparticles increased, both the enhanced ratios of thermal conductivity and viscosity of Cu nanofluids increased. As the temperature increased, the enhanced ratio of thermal conductivity increased, but that ratio of viscosity decreased.

The Cu nanofluid in ethylene glycol was prepared by electrical explosion of wire, a novel one-step method. The X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope were used to study the properties of Cu nanoparticles. The results showed that the nanoparticles were consisted of pure face-centered cubic structure and near spherical shape with average grain size of 65 nm. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) confirmed Cu nanoparticles with a single absorbance peak of Cu surface plasmon resonance band at 600 nm. The nanofluid was found to be stable due to high positive zeta potential value, +51 mV. The backscattering level of nanofluid in static stationary was decreased about 2% for 5 days. The thermal conductivity measurement showed that Cu-ethylene glycol nanofluid with low concentration of nanoparticles had higher thermal conductivity than based fluid. The enhancement of thermal conductivity of nanofluid at a volume fraction of 0.1% was approximately 5.2%.

본 연구는 고성능 유연 전극 소재 개발을 위한 기초 연구로, 유연 전극 소재의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 금속 산화물 CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs)를 도입하여 탄소나노튜브 섬유(carbon nanotube fiber; CNT fiber) 표면 위에 전기화학적 증착시켜 CNT fiber/CuO NPs 전극을 합성하고, 이를 전기화학적 비효소 글루코스 센서에 적용하였다. 이 전극의 표면 및 elemental composition 분석은 주사전자 현미경(SEM)과 에너지분산형 분광분석법(EDS)을 이용하였으며, 전극의 전기화학적 특성 및 글루코스에 대한 센싱 성능은 순환전압 전류법(CV)과 전기화학 임피던스법(EIS), 시간대전류법(CA)을 통해 조사되었다. CNT fiber/CuO NPs 전극은 CNT fiber의 우수한 특성과 함께 CuO NPs 도입에 따른 약 2.6배의 유효 전극면적(active surface area) 증가 효과와 11배 정도의 향상된 전자전달(electron transfer) 특성 및 우수한 전기적 촉매 활성(electrocatalytic activity) 덕분에 CNT fiber 유연 기반 전극의 글루코스 검출에 대한 성능이 개선되었다. 따라서, 본 연구를 기반으로 다양한 나노구조체를 활용한 고성능 유연 전극 소재 개발이 기대된다.

Silica-coated Au with Ag, Co, Cu, and Ir bimetallic radioisotope nanoparticles were synthesized by neutron irradiation, after coating $SiO_2$ onto the bimetallic particles by the sol-gel St$\ddot{o}$ber process. Bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized by irradiating aqueous bimetallic ions at room temperature. Their shell and core diameters were recorded by TEM to be 100 - 112 nm and 20 - 50 nm, respectively. The bimetallic radioisotope nanoparticles' gamma spectra showed that they each contained two gamma-emitting nuclides. The nanoparticles could be used as radiotracers in petrochemical and refinery processes that involve temperatures that would decompose conventional organic radioactive labels.

This study reports the fabrication and application of semitransparent Cu nanoparticle layers. Spin coating and subsequent drying of a Cu colloid solution were performed to deposit Cu nanoparticle layers onto Si and glass substrates. As the spin speed of the spin coating increases, the density of the nanoparticles on the substrate decreases, and the agglomeration of nanoparticles is suppressed. This microstructural variation affects the optical properties of the nanoparticle layers. The transmittance and reflectance of the Cu nanoparticle layers increase with increasing spin speed, which results from the trade-off between the exposed substrate area and surface coverage of the Cu nanoparticles. Since the glass substrates coated with Cu nanoparticle layers are semitransparent and colored, it is anticipated that the application of a Cu nanoparticle-dielectric bilayer structure to transparent solar cells will improve the cell efficiency as well as aesthetic appearance.

Nanoparticles of the compound semiconductor, Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS), were synthesized in solution under ambient pressure below $100^{\circ}C$ and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical absorption spectroscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses. These materials have chalcopyrite crystal structures and the particle sizes less than 100 nm. Synthetic conditions were studied for the crystallized CIGS nanoparticles formation to prevent from side products of Cu2Se, Cu2-xSe, and CuSe etc. The single phase CIGS nanoparticles were applied to coating of thin films photovoltaic cells. The electro deposition of CIGS thin films is also a good non-vacuum technology and under investigation. In aqueous solutions, the different chemical compositions of CIGS thin films were obtained, depending on pH, concentration of starting materials and deposition potentials. The surface morphology of the prepared CIGS thin films depends on the complexing ligands to the solutions during the electrochemical deposition.

This study investigates Ag coated $Cu_2O$ nanoparticles that are produced with a changing molar ratio of Ag and $Cu_2O$. The results of XRD analysis reveal that each nanoparticle has a diffraction pattern peculiar to Ag and $Cu_2O$ determination, and SEM image analysis confirms that Ag is partially coated on the surface of $Cu_2O$ nanoparticles. The conductive paste with Ag coated $Cu_2O$ nanoparticles approaches the specific resistance of $6.4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ for silver paste(SP) as $(Ag)/(Cu_2O)$ the molar ratio increases. The paste(containing 70 % content and average a 100 nm particle size for the silver nanoparticles) for commercial use for mounting with a fine line width of $100{\mu}m$ or less has a surface resistance of 5 to $20{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, while in this research an Ag coated $Cu_2O$ paste has a larger surface resistance, which is disadvantageous. Its performance deteriorates as a material required for application of a fine line width electrode for a touch panel. A touch panel module that utilizes a nano imprinting technique of $10{\mu}m$ or less is expected to be used as an electrode material for electric and electronic parts where large precision(mounting with fine line width) is not required.

우리는 금속 산화물 CuO nanoparticles (CuO NPs)과 전도성 고분자 Polyaniline (PANI)가 접목된 CNT fiber 유연 전극(CuO NPs/PANI/CNT fiber 전극)을 개발하여 H₂O₂ 검출용 비효소적 전기화학센서에 적용하였다. CNT fiber 표면 위에 PANI와 CuO NPs을 전기화학적 합성/증착을 통해 제작된 CuO NPs/PANI/CNT fiber 전극은 주사전자 현미경(SEM)과 에너지분산형 분광분석법(EDS)을 통해 표면 분석이 수행되었으며, 순환전압 전류법(CV)과 전기화학 임피던스법(EIS), 시간대전류법(CA)을 이용하여 전기화학적 특성 및 H₂O₂ 센싱 성능이 분석되었다. CuO NPs/PANI/CNT fiber 전극은 대조군인 bare CNT fiber 전극과 비교하여 약 4.78배의 유효 표면적 증가를 보였으며, 약 8.33배의 전자 전달 저항(R_et) 감소로 인한 우수한 전기 전도성 및 효율적인 전자전달 등의 전기화학적 특성을 나타냈다. 이런 향상된 전극 특성은 CuO NPs와 PANI의 접목을 통한 시너지 효과에 기인한 것으로, 결과적으로 H₂O₂ 검출에 대한 센싱 성능이 개선되었다.

$CuInSe_2$ (CIS) nanoparticles of chalcopyrite structure were directly synthesized by a solvothemal method in an autoclave with diethylamine as a solvent. A morphology change of the nanoparticles was observed as a function of reaction temperatures and times. Dense rod-type CIS nanoparticles with width of $5\sim10mm$ and length in the range of 30-80 nm were obtained at $180^{\circ}C$ for 36 hrs whereas spherical particles with diameter in the range of 5-10 nm were observed at $250^{\circ}C$ for 36 hrs. The formation of the rod-like nanoparticles in diethylamine, without double N-chelation, was explained by the Solution-Liquid-Solid (SLS) mechanism.
