  • CuO nanotubes are synthesized using $TeO_2$ nanorod templates for application to $H_2S$ gas sensors. $TeO_2$ nanorod templates were synthesized by using the VS method through thermal evaporation. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that the synthesized nanotubes were monoclinic-structured polycrystalline CuO with diameter and wall thickness of approximately 100~300 nm and 5~10 nm, respectively. The CuO nanotube sensor showed responses of 136~325% for the $H_2S$ concentration of 0.1~5 ppm at room temperature. These response values are approximately twice as high as that of the CuO nanowire sensor for the same concentrations of $H_2S$ gas. Along with the investigation of the performance of the sensors, the mechanisms of $H_2S$ gas sensing of the CuO nanotubes are also discussed in this study.

  • 냉매의 비등이나 응축같은 열전달 향상을 위하여 금속 표면위에 탄소나노튜브(CNT)를 코팅하는 것을 연구하였다. 분산제와 PVA(polyvinyl alcohol) 용액으로 분산 처리된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브/CuO의 복합 분말 코팅액을 구리기판위에 도포한 후 소결을 하였다. 본 논문에서는 CNT/CuO 소결 코팅시 다양한 분산제를 사용하여 소결 전후의 조직 형상 변화 및 특징을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 분산제로는 THF(Tetrahydrofuran), SDBS(Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid sodium salt), SDS(Sodium dodecy sulfate)가 사용되었다. 각각의 시편들은 주사전자현미경, 열중량분석, 시차주사열량측정법, 라만분광법을 사용하여 분석하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 전기화학적 바이오센서의 포도당 감지능을 높이고자 금 나노 입자가 분산된 다중벽탄소나노튜브(multi-walled carbon nanotube, MWCNTs)에 CuO를 도입하였다. 금 나노 입자로 인하여 나노 클러스터(cluster) 형상을 갖는 CuO가 합성되었으며, 이는 포도당 감지능력에 매우 큰 영향을 나타내었다. 0.1 mole의 CuO가 합성되었을 때 CuO/Au@MWCNTs 나노복합재를 전극재료로서 바이오센서는 $504.1{\mu}A\;mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$으로 가장 높은 민감도를 보여주었으며, 이 값은 MWCNTs만을 전극으로 이용할 때보다 약 4배 정도 컸다. 또한, 0-10 mM의 긴 선형 구간(linear range)과 0.008 mM의 낮은 LoD (limit of detection) 값을 보여주었다. 이러한 실험 결과들은 CuO/Au@MWCNTs 나노복합재가 CuO를 이용한 다른 전기화학적 바이오센서보다 우수하다는 것을 입증하였으며, 이는 나노 클러스터 형상의 CuO가 포도당 감지에서 전기화학적 반응에 유리하기 때문으로 사료된다.

  • Quantum dots (QDs) are an attractive material for application in solar energy conversion devices because of their unique properties including facile band-gap tuning, a high-absorption coefficient, low-cost processing, and the potential multiple exciton generation effect. Recently, highly efficient quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSCs) have been developed based on CdSe, PbS, CdS, and Cu-In-Se QDs. However, for the commercialization and wide application of these QDSCs, replacing the conventional rigid glass substrates with flexible substrates is required. Here, we demonstrate flexible CISe QDSCs based on vertically aligned $TiO_2$ nanotube (NT) electrodes. The highly uniform $TiO_2$ NT electrodes are prepared by two-step anodic oxidation. Using these flexible photoanodes and semi-transparent Pt counter electrodes, we fabricate the QDSCs and examine their photovoltaic properties. In particular, photovoltaic performances are optimized by controlling the nanostructure of $TiO_2$ NT electrodes.

  • Free-standing electrodes of CuO nanorods in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are developed by synthesizing porous CuO nanorods throughout CNT webs. The electrochemical performance of the free-standing electrodes is evaluated for their use in flexible lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The electrodes comprising CuO@CNT nanocomposites (NCs) were characterized by charge-discharge testing, cyclic voltammetry, and impedance measurement. These structures are capable of accommodating a high number of lithium ions as well as increasing stability; thus, an increase of capacity in long-term cycling and a good rate capability is achieved. We demonstrate a simple process of fabricating free-standing electrodes of CuO@CNT NCs that can be utilized in flexible LIBs with high performance in terms of capacity and cycling stability.

  • Excellent electron transport properties with enhanced light scattering ability for light harvesting have made well-ordered one dimensional $TiO_2$ nanotube(TNT) arrays an alternative candidate over $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in the area of solar energy conversion applications. The principal drawback of TNT arrays being activated only by UV light has been addressed by coupling the TNT with secondary materials which are visible light-triggered. As well as extending the absorption region of sunlight, the introduction of these foreign components is also found to influence the charge separation and electron lifetime of TNT. In this study, a novel method to fabricate the TNT-based composite photoelectrodes employing visible responsive $CuInS_2$ (CIS) nanoparticles is presented. The developed method is a square wave pulse-assisted electrochemical deposition approach to wrap the inner and outer walls of a TNT array with CIS nanoparticles. Instead of coating as a dense compact layer of CIS by a conventional non-pulsed-electrochemical deposition method, the nanoparticles pack relatively loosely to form a rough surface which increases the surface area of the composite and results in a higher degree of light scattering within the tubular channels and hence a greater chance of absorption. The excellence coverage of CIS on the tubular $TiO_2$ allows the construction of an effective heterojunction that exhibits enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.

  • Hollow copper oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CuO/MWCNT) composites were fabricated via an optimized infiltration-reduction-oxidation method, which is more facile and easy to control. The crystalline structure and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The as-prepared CuO/MWCNT composites deliver an initial capacity of 612.3 mAh·g-1 and with 80% capacity retention (488.2 mAh·g-1) after 100 cycles at a current rate of 0.2 A·g-1. The enhanced electrochemical performance is ascribed to the better electrical conductivity of MWCNT, the hollow structure of CuO particles, and the flexible structure of the CuO/MWCNT composites.

  • 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.
