A new accepter unit, pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole-2,5-dione, was prepared and utilized for the synthesis of the conjugated polymers containing electron donor-acceptor pair for OPVs. Pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole-2,5-dione unit, regioisomer of the known pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, is originated from the structure of stable synthetic pigment. The new conjugated polymers with 1,4-diphenylpyrrolo[3,2-b]pyrrole-2,5-dione, thiophene and carbazole were synthesized using Suzuki polymerization to generate P1 and P2. The solid films of P1 and P2 show absorption bands with maximum peaks at about 377, 554 and 374, 542 nm and the absorption onsets at 670 and 674 nm, corresponding to band gaps of 1.85 and 1.84 eV, respectively. To improve the hole mobility of the polymer with 1,4-bis(4-butylphenyl)-pyrrolo[3,2-b]-pyrrole-2,5-dione unit, which was previously reported by us, the butyl group at the 4-positions of the N-substituted phenyl group was substituted with hydrogen and methyl group. The field-effect hole mobility of P2 is $9.6{\times}10^{-5}cm^2/Vs$. The device with $P2:PC_{71}BM$ (1:2) showed $V_{OC}$ value of 0.84 V, $J_{SC}$ value of 5.10 $mA/cm^2$, and FF of 0.33, giving PCE of 1.42%.

Underwater wireless communication is a challenging issue for realizing the smart aqua-farm and various marine activities for exploring the ocean and environmental monitoring. In comparison to acoustic and radio frequency technologies, the visible light communication is the most promising method to transmit data with a higher speed in complex underwater environments. To send data at a speedier rate, high-performance photodetectors are essentially required to receive blue and/or cyan-blue light that are transmitted from the light sources in a light-fidelity (Li-Fi) system. Here, we fabricated high-performance organic phototransistors (OPTs) based on P-type donor polymer (PTO2) and N-type acceptor small molecule (IT-4F) blend semiconductors. Bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) PTO2:IT-4F photo-active layer has a broad absorption spectrum in the range of 450~550 nm wavelength. Solution-processed OPTs showed a high photo-responsivity >1,000 mA/W, a large photo-sensitivity >10³, a fast response time, and reproducible light-On/Off switching characteristics even under a weak incident light. BHJ organic semiconductors absorbed photons and generated excitons, and efficiently dissociated to electron and hole carriers at the donor-acceptor interface. Printed and flexible OPTs can be widely used as Li-Fi receivers and image sensors for underwater communication and underwater internet of things (UIoTs).

In this study, we have investigated the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells utilizing conjugated polymer/fullerene bulk-hetero junction(BHJ) device structures. We have fabricated poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT), poly[2methoxy-5-(3',7'-dimethyloctyl-oxy)-1-4-phenylenevinylene] as an electron donor, [6,6]-phenyl $C_{61}$ butyric acid methylester(PCBM-$C_{61}$)as an electron acceptor, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) used as a hole injection layer(HIL), after fabricated active layer, between active layer and metal cathode(Al) deposited LiF interlayer(5 nm). The properties of fabricated organic solar cell(OSC) devices have been analyzed as a function of different thickness. The electrical characteristics of the fabricated devices were investigated by means J-V, fill factor(FF) and power conversion efficiency(PCE). We observed the highest PCEs of 0.628%(MDMO-PPV:PCBM-$C_{61}$) and 2.3%(P3HT:PCBM-$C_{61}$) with LiF inter-layer at the highest thick active layer, which is 1.3times better than the device without LiF inter-layer.

As a functional additive for intestinal microflora, panose ($6^2-{\alpha}$-D-glucopyranosylmaltose) was synthesized during kimchi fermentation using the glucose transferring reaction of glucansucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides. For the glucose transferring reaction, sucrose and maltose were added ($2\%$ each, w/v) to dongchimi-kimchi as the glucosyl donor and acceptor molecule, respectively. After five days of incubation at $10^{\circ}C$, referring to the initial phase for the production of lactic acid in kimchi, over $60\%$ (w/v) of the total sugars were converted into panose and other branched oligosaccharides. Thereafter, the kimchi was stored at $4^{\circ}C$ and the amount of panose remained at a constant level for three weeks, thereby indicating the stability of panose to microbial degradation during the period of kimchi consumption. The use of maltose as the acceptor molecule in the kimchi also facilitated a lower viscosity in the kimchi-juice by preventing the synthesis of a dextran-like polymer which caused an unfavorable taste. Accordingly, the application of this new method of simultaneous biocatalytic synthesis of oligosaccharides during lactate fermentation should facilitate the extensive development of new function-added lactate foods.

It is well known that the membrane permeation in pervaporation is governed by both the chemical nature of the membrane material and the physical structure of the membrane and also the separation can be achieved by differences in either solubility, size or shape. The solubility of the penerrant in the polymeric membrane can be described qualitively by applying the Hildebrand relation [1] which relates the energy of mixing of the penerrant and the polymer material. Froehling et al. have tried to predict the swelling behavior of polymers for the systems of polyvinylchloride(PVC)-toluene-methanol, PVC-trichloroethylene-nitromethane and PVC-n-butylacetate-nitromethane[2]. The former two systems which do not show the donor/acceptor interactions upon mixing showed the successful results[2]. In addition to this technique, there are several other possible approaches to predict the swelling behaviors of polymers, such as the surface thermodynamic approach[3, 4], the comparison of the membrane polarity with the solvent polarity in terms of Dimroth's solvent polarity value[5].

The FT-Raman spectra of trans-polyacetylene films doped lightly with iodine were obtained with the 1320-nm laser line. The observed Raman bands are attributed to positively charged domains created by acceptor doping. The observed Raman wavenumbers of the V$_2$, (CC stretch), V$_3$, and V$_4$ bands (mixed of CC stretch and CH in-plan bending) of iodine-doped form are slightly higher than those of the corresponding bands of pristine trans-polyacetylene, whereas the contrary is the case for V$_1$, and (C=C stretch) of iodine-doped form. In particular, these upshifts of the V$_2$ and V$_3$ bands are distinguished from the downshifts of these bands in donor doping. The origin of doping induced Raman bands is discussed in terms of solitons and polarons.

Spatially fixed bichromophoric systems with nonidentical chromophores have been extensively employed for studies of electron transfer and excitation transfer. Excitation hopping behavior between two naphthy1 moieties on 7,14-dihydro-7,14-ethanodibenz[a,h] anthracene(DEA)has been explored by the time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements. The experimentally obtained value of the hopping rate in DEA agrees at least qualitatively with that calculated on the basis of the Dexter's theory, but disagrees with that calculated on the basis of the Forster's theory, indicates that for a pair of donor and acceptor with inter-chromophore separation as short as 4.5 $\AA$, excitation transfer via electron exchange is a predominant process.

적색을 낼 수 있는 물질을 만들기 위해 비공액 주사슬로 되어 있는 고분자의 곁사슬에 스티렌 분자가 연결되어 있는 트리페닐아민, 반응성 있는 작용기를 가진 아미노벤즈알데히드 그룹, 및 PM(4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-(tertbutyl)4H-pyran) 그룹을 도입하였다. 이 고분자의 전자 흡수 스펙트럼은 용액과 필름 상태에서 비슷하였다. 모든 고분자는 전기화학적으로 활성을 보였으며, 전기 발광 소자를 작동하였을 때 700nm 근처에서 적색을 보였다. $ITO/PPV/P5-PM/BCP/Alq_3/Al$으로 구성된 소자는 $50mA/cm^2$의 낮은 전류 밀도에서 $120cd/m^2$의 밝기를 보였으며, 외부 양자 효율은 $0.67\%$를 나타내었다. 발광 고분자 층에서의 균형있는 전하의 재결합을 유도하여 소자의 발광 효율을 높일 수 있었다. 이중 기능성(bifunctionalized)을 도입함으로써 적색 발광을 내면서 효율이 높은 발광 고분자를 개발하였다.

프탈이미드 유도체와 티오펜 단량체들을 이용하여 새로운 고분자인 poly((5,5-(2-butyl-5,6-bisdecyloxy-4,7-dithiophen-2-yl-isoindole-1,3-dione))-alt-(2,5-thiophene))(T-TI24T)를 Stille법을 이용하여 합성하였다. T-TI24T의 수평균 분자량은 86500 g/mol로 매우 높으며 클로로포름, 1,2-디클로로벤젠, 톨루엔과 같은 용매에 매우 잘 용해된다. 또한 $380^{\circ}C$까지 매우 우수한 열적 안정성을 갖고 있다. T-TI24T는 꽤 낮은 호모에너지 준위(-5.33 eV)를 갖고 있다. 서로 다른 T-TI24T와 (6)-1-(3-(methoxycarbonyl)-{5}-1-phenyl[5,6]-fullerene(PCBM)의 무게비를 갖는 블렌드를 광활성층으로 하는 태양전지를 제작하여 특성을 살펴본 결과 고분자와 PCBM의 비율이 1:3일 때 가장 최적화된 결과를 보였으며, 이 때 광전변환 효율과 개방전압은 각각 0.199%와 0.99였다. T-TI24T 기반 태양전지들은 비록 매우 작은 광전변환 효율을 갖지만 잘 알려진 P3HT:PC61BM으로 구성된 태양전지와 비교해 큰 매우 큰 개방전압을 갖는다(약 0.5 V).
