  • The effectiveness of CuSCN as a hole injection layer in large-area organic light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and thin-film transistors has been well demonstrated. Therefore, in this study, the surface, optical, and electrical analyses of CuSCN were carried out according to the solution process conditions in order to propose optimized film conditions. Various CuSCN solution concentrations were prepared to determine the film surface characteristics and to determine whether the film surface affects the electrical performance of the device. When the CuSCN solution concentration was low, the CuSCN film was not formed and coated in the form of islands, and when the solution concentration was increased, the CuSCN film was formed uniformly, which contributed to improving the conductivity of the device. In addition, a hole-only device was fabricated to demonstrate the role of CuSCN as a hole transport layer.

  • Inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells have demonstrated a significant achievement by reaching a certified power conversion efficiency of 25.2% in 2019 as compared to that of 3.8% in 2009. However, organic hole conductors such as PTAA and spiro-OMeTAD are known to be expensive and unstable when they are exposed to operational conditions. In this study, the inorganic hole conductor CuSCN was used to overcome such concerns. The influence of dipropyl sulfide (DPS) and diethyl sulfide (DES) as CuSCN deposition solvents on the underlying perovskite active layer was investigated. DES solvent was observed to be advantageous in terms of CuSCN solubility and mild for the perovskite layer, thereby resulting in a power conversion efficiency of 16.9%.

  • The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of hexadecyl acrylate (HDA) was carried out in Ν,Ν-dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of CuSCN/Ν,Ν,Ν′,Ν"Ν"-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA). The results indicate that the polymerization is well-controlled: a linear increase of molecular weights occurs with respect to conversion and the polydispersities are relatively low. In particular, the use of CuSCN as the catalyst resulted in faster polymerization rates for hexadecyl acrylate than did those using either CuBr or CuCl; the polydis-persity, however, was larger than those obtained in the cases when CuBr and CuCl were used. In addition, we report the thermodynamic data and activation parameters for the solution ATRP of hexadecyl acrylate.

  • 본 연구에서는 ZnO 나노선 기판을 제작하여 그 위에 밴드갭이 낮은 물질인 CdS, CdSe를 증착시킨 후 p-type 반도체 물질인 CuSCN을 증착시켜 안정성이 향상된 양자점 감응형 태양전지를 제작하였다. ZnO 나노선 기판은 투명한 FTO 기판 위에 ZnO를 진공증착시켜 seed layer를 제작하고 그 위에 $10{\mu}m$정도의 길이의 나노와이어를 성장시킨 후, 밴드갭이 낮은 CdS, CdSe 물질과의 다중접합을 이용하여 제작하고, 이러한 나노선 구조위에 chemical solution deposition을 이용하여 ${\beta}$-CuSCN을 형성시켰다. 양자점 감응형 태양전지는 ZnO 나노선을 photoanode로 이용하고 ZnO 나노선은 암모니아수와 아연염을 이용한, 비교적 저온의 수열합성법을 통해 합성하였고, sensitizer로 쓰인 CdS, CdSe 물질은 CBD방식을 통하여 합성된 나노선 위에 in-situ로 접합시켰다. 또한, 기존의 액체전해질을 이용한 양자점 감응형 태양전지의 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 p-type의 반도체 물질인 CuSCN물질을 propyl sulfide를 이용, ${\sim}80^{\circ}C$의 열을 가하여 in-situ 방식으로 다공성 구조에 효율적으로 접합이 가능하도록 deposition하였다. 일반적으로, CuSCN film은 홀 전도체로서의 장점을 지닌 반면, 전도성이 낮은 단점이 있기 때문에 이를 향상시키기 위해서 첨가제를 이용, 농도에 따라서 전도도가 향상되고 셀의 성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같이 합성된 구조는 주사전자현미경(SEM), X-선 회절(XRD), 솔라시뮬레이터 등의 분석장비를 이용하여 태양전지로서의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 안정성 평가를 위하여 시간에 따른 셀의 특성변화도 비교하였다.

  • For enhancement of dye-sensitized solar cell performance, TiO2 blocking layer has been used to prevent recombination between electron and hole at the conducting oxide and electrolyte interface. In solid state dye-sensitized solar cells, it is necessary to fabricate pin-hole free TiO2 blocking layer. In this work, we deposited the TiO2 blocking layer on conducting oxide by atomic layer deposition and compared the efficiency. To compare the efficiency, we fabricate solid state dye-sensitized solar cell with using CuSCN as hole transport material. We see the efficiency improve with 40nm TiO2 blocking layer and the TiO2 blocking layer morphology was characterized by SEM. Also, we used this blocking layer in TiO2/Sb2S3/ CuSCN solar cell.

  • The equilibria of chemical reaction between [Cu(dl-trans-[14]-diene)]$^{2+}$ and L$^{n-}$(S$_2$O$_3^{2-}$, SCN$^-$, I$^-$, NO$_2^-$) ions were studied by the spectrophotometric method in the range of 15 to 35$^{\circ}C$ and 1 to 1500bar. The equilibrium constants(K) for L$^{n-}$ = S$_2$O$_3^{2-}$, SCN$^-$, I$^-$ and NO$_2^-$ ions at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 1500bar were 3.0, 1.9, 0.6 and 0.5, respectively. The values of K decreased with increasing pressure and temperature. From the temperature effect on equlibrium constant, the thermodynamic parameters(${\Delta}G^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}$, ${\Delta}S^{\circ}$) of reaction were evaluated and the reactions of [Cu(dl-trans-[14]-diene)]2+ ion with S$_2$O$_3^{2-}$, SCN$^-$ and I$^-$ except NO$_2^-$ ion were exothermic. The volume changes of reaction(${\Delta}$V) had positive values for all the used anions. The values of ${\Delta}$V in cm$^3$/mole for S$_2$O$_3^{2-}$ ion at 1,500, 1,000 and 1,500bar were 26, 22, 19 and 16, and those for S$_2$O$_3^{2-}$, SCN$^-$, I$^-$ and NO$_2^-$ ions at atmospheric pressure 26, 30, 64 and 45, respectively. Bonding character between Cu(Ⅱ)-complex ion and L$^{n-}$ was discussed by comparing both the equlibrium constants experimentally determined and those calculated according to Fuoss's ion-pair equation in case of S$_2$O$_3^{2-}$ ion.

  • The smelting reduction of spent lithium-ion batteries results in metallic alloys of cobalt, nickel, and copper. To develop a process to separate the metallic alloys, leaching of the metallic mixtures of these three metals with H2SO4 solution containing 3% H2O2 dissolved all the cobalt and nickel, together with 9.6% of the copper. Cyanex 301 selectively extracted Cu(II) from the leaching solution, and copper ions were completely stripped with 30% aqua regia. Selective extraction of Co(II) from a Cu(II)-free raffinate was possible using the ionic liquid ALi-SCN. Three-stage cross-current stripping of the loaded ALi-SCN by a 15% NH3 solution resulted in the complete stripping of Co(II). A process was proposed to separate the three metal ions from the sulfuric acid leaching solutions of metallic mixtures by employing solvent extraction.

  • Electrochemical determination of iodide was carried out by stripping voltammetry with a $(Cin)Cu(NO_3)_2$ modified-carbon paste electrode. Iodide was coordinated onto the electrode surface containing $(Cin)Cu(NO_3)_2$ via ion exchange. The oxidation peak potential of incorporated iodide was +0.72 V. The optimum analytical conditions for the determination of iodide were investigated using linear sweep voltammetry. Optimum conditions for the electrochemical determination of iodide were as follows: i) A predeposition solution was 0.1 M $KNO_3.$ ii) The deposition time was 10 min. iii) The composition of the electrode was 40% (w/w). The detection limit for iodide was $1.0{\times}10^{-6}M$ and the relative standard deviation was ${\pm}5.5%\;in\;2.0{\times}10^{-5}M$(four repetitions). The interference effect of other anions were also investigated. $Cl^-,\;Br^-,\;C_2O_4^{2-},\;and\;ClO_4^-$ ions do not interfere for the determination of iodide. When $SCN^-$ was added to the deposition solution, the oxidation peak current of iodide ion was decreased roughly 32%.

  • Different bioligands carrying synthetic adsorbents have been reported in the literature for protein separation, We have developed a novel and new approach to obtain high protein ad-sorption capacity utilizing 2-methacrylamidohistidine(MAH) as a bioligand. MAH was synthe-sized by reacting methacrylocholride and histidine, Spherical beads with an average size of 150-200㎛ were obtained by the radical suspension polymerization of MAH and 2-hydrosyethyl-methacrylate(HEMA) conducted in an aqueous dispersion medium. p(HEMA-co-MAH) beads had a specific surface area of 17.6㎡/g . Synthesized MAH monomer was characterized by NMR. p(HEMA-co-MAH) beads were characterized by swelling test, FTIR and elemental analysis. Then Cu(II) ions were incorporated onto the beads and Cu(II) loading was found to be 0.96 mmol/g.These affinity beads with a swelling ration of 65% and containing, 1.6 mmol MAH/g were used in the adsorption/desorption of human serum albumin(HSA) from both aqueous solutions and hu-man serum. The adsorption of HSA onto p(HEM-co-MAH) was low(8.8 mg/g). Cu(II) chelation onto the beads significantly increased the HSA adsorption (56.3 mg/g). The maximum HSA ad-sorption ws observed at pH 8.0 Higher HSA adsorption was observed from human plasma(94.6 mgHSA/g) Adsorption of other serum proteins were obtained as 3.7 mg/g for fibrinogen and 8.5mg/g for γ-globulin. The total protein adsorption was determined as 107.1mg/g. Desorption of HSA was obtained using 0.1 M Tris/HCl buffer containing 0.5 M NaSCN, High desorption rations(up to 98% of the adsorbed HSA) were observed. It was possible to reuse Cu(II) chelated-p(HEMA-co-MAH) beads without significant decreases in the adsorption capacities.

  • This is on hydrogen ion-selective memebrane electrodes which were made of tetrabenzylmethylenediamine (TBMDA), tetrabenzylethylenediamine (TBEDA), tetrabenzylpropylenediamine(TBPDA) and tetrabenzylhexylenediamine(TBHDA) as neutral carriers. Their response potentials to carbon number between amino groups showed linear selectivities to hydrogen ion in the range of pH 1~pH 9, pH 2~pH 9, pH 3~pH 9 and pH 4~pH 9 and slopes were 48mV/pH, 52mV/pH, 64mV/pH, 59mV/pH respectively. The interferences effect on the cations were measured to alkali metal ions($Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$), alkaline earth metal ions ($Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$), transition metals ions($Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$) and anions($I^-$, $Br^-$, ${NO_3}^-$, $SCN^-$), and selectivity coefficients were measured by separate-solution method. The membrane electrode made of TBMDA among the electrodes showed the best selectivity in acidic solution.
