This research was conducted to clarify the characteristics of electrochemical decolorization of effluent discharged from a biological animal wastewater treatment process and to finally establish parameters or mode for optimum operation of electrolysis system. Average color unit of wastewater was about 1,200 and DSA(Dimensionally Stable Anode) was used as electrode. Experiments were performed with two different operation conditions or modes, fixed voltage-free current(Run A) and free voltage-fixed current(Run B). Color removal rate was proportional to the electrode area and electrical conductivity, and an equation subject to them at a condition of fixed voltage was derived as follows; Ct=C0ekt, k=[{0.0121×ａ(dm2)× c(mS/cm)}+0.0288], [where, C0: initial color, Ct: color unit after treatment for t, k: reaction coefficient, t: time(min.), ａ: electrode area, c: conductivity]. From the study on the effects of current density on color removal, it was revealed that the removal efficiency of color was function of the current density, showing direct proportion. However, when considered energy consumption rate, maintenance of low current density was an economical way. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that supplementation of electrolyte is not necessary for the removal of color from the effluent of secondary treatment process and operation with the mode of free voltage-fixed current, rather than operation with fixed voltage-free current mode, would be an efficient way to increase the removal performance and capacity per consumed energy.

본 연구에서는 특수 설계된 연면방전(Surface discharge induced Plasma Chemical Process, SPCP) 반응기로부터 발생하는 플라스마에 의하여 일산화질소(NO)와 이산화질소($NO_2$)등 유해 환경오염 가스를 주파수, 유량, 농도, 전극재질 및 감은 횟수 등의 공정변수 변화에 따른 분해율, 소비전력 및 소비전압 등을 측정하여 최적의 공정조건과 최대의 분해효율을 얻고자 하였다. 표준시료로서 일산화질소와 이산화질소를 고전압발생기의 주파수(5~50kHz), 유해가스의 체류시간(1~10.5 초)과 초기농도(100~1000 ppm), 전극의 재질(W, Cu, Al), 전극의 굵기(1, 2, 3 mm)및 감은횟수(7회, 9회, 11회)에 대하여 플라스마 연면방전 반응기를 이용하여 분해효율을 구하였다. 유해가스(NO, $NO_2$)의 분해제거 실험결과, 10 kHz의 주파수와 각각 19.8와 20 W의 소비전력에서 각각 94.3, 84.7 %로 가장 높은 분해제거율을 나타내었고, 20 kHz이상에서는 주파수가 커질수록 분해율이 감소하였다. 또한 연면방전 반응기에서 유해가스의 체류시간이 길수록, 그리고 초기농도가 작을수록 분해율은 증가하였다. 방전전극에 대한 영향은 전극의 굵기가 굵을수록 분해율이 증가하여 본 실험의 경우 3 mm의 전극을 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 분해율을 나타내었고, 전극의 재질은 텅스텐을 사용하여 방전한 경우에 가장 높은 분해율을 보였으며 구리, 알루미늄의 순으로 낮아졌다. 방전전극의 감은 횟수에 대한 영향은 7회, 9회, 11회의 순으로 감은 횟수가 많을수록 분해율이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다.

MWCTS의 성질을 향상시키기 위해 아민기를 도입하였고, 이를 FT-IR 스펙트럼을 통해 확인하였다. 아민기를 도입한 MWCNTs를 GCE에 고착시키고 PB 막을 입힌 후 cyclic voltammetry 반응을 비교한 결과, PB/MWCNT-$NH_2$/GCE 전극이 GCE에 비해 산화 전류는 8배 이상, 전체 전류는 25배 이상의 높은 전류 흐름을 보였으며, 미세한 전류 흐름의 측정도 용이해진 것으로 나타났다. 또한, carrier buffer의 pH를 달리하여 제작된 전극의 감응 전류를 비교한 결과, pH 7.0에서 전류의 감응도가 가장 높게 측정되었다. 과산화수소를 주입하여 전극의 성능의 검증한 결과, $0.5 {\mu}M{\sim}100 {\mu}M$ 범위에서 선형관계를 보였으며, 검출 한계는 $0.5{\mu}M$로 측정되었다. Histamine 표준 용액 주입 시 $1{\mu}M{\sim}100{\mu}M$ 범위에서 선형 관계를 나타내었고, tyramine은 histamine에 비해 약 95%, 2-phenylethylamine과 tryptamine은 histamine에 비해 각각 75%, 70% 수준의 감응도를 이용하여 구성된 바이오센서 시스템이 낮은 검출 한계와 높은 수준의 반응 감도를 나타내어 BAs를 측정하는데 좋은 장치임이 확인되었다.

Transparent conductors are commonly used in photoelectric devices, where the electric energy converts to light energy or vice versa. Energy consumption devices, such as LEDs, Displays, Lighting devices use the electrical energy to generate light by carrier recombination. Meanwhile, solar cell is the only device to generate electric energy from the incident photon. Most photoelectric devices require a transparent electrode to pass the light in or out from a device. Beyond the passive role, transparent conductors can be employed to form Schottky junction or heterojunction to establish a rectifying current flow. Transparent conductor-embedded heterojunction device provides significant advantages of transparent electrode formation, no need for intentional doping process, and enhanced light-reactive surface area. Herein, we present versatile applications of transparent conductors, such as NiO, ZnO, ITO in photoelectric devices of solar cells and photodetectors for high-performing UV or IR detection. Moreover, we also introduce the growth of transparent ITO nanowires by sputtering methods for large scale application.

Energy storage devices have received a keen interest throughout the world due to high power consumption. A large number of research activities are being conducted on electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) because of their high power density and higher energy density. In the present study, an EDLC was fabricated using natural graphite based electrodes and ionic liquid (IL) based gel polymer electrolyte (GPE). The IL based GPE was prepared using the IL, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (1E3MITF) with the polymer poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the salt magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ - MgTF). GPE was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), DC polarization test, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test and cyclic voltammetry (CV) test. The maximum room temperature conductivity of the sample was 1.64 × 10^-4 Scm^-1. The electrolyte was purely an ionic conductor and the anionic contribution was prominent. Fabricated EDLC was characterized by EIS, CV and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) tests. CV test of the EDLC exhibits a single electrode specific capacitance of 1.44 Fg^-1 initially and GCD test gives 0.83 Fg^-1 as initial single electrode specific discharge capacitance. Moreover, a good stability was observed for prolonged cycling and the device can be used for applications with further modifications.

As an alternative energy, Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received much attention due to low cost manufacturing procedure and high energy consumption rate. Incorporating scattering centers in the nanocrystalline photoanode or additional scattering layers on the nanocrystalline photoanode is an effective way to enhance the light harvest efficiency of the photoanode and the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The light scattering abilities of these scattering layers also depend on the relative sizes and phase of the particles in the layers. A higher surface area is normally obtained using large particle sizes. Therefore, transparent high surface area $TiO_2$ layers and an additional scattering layer consisting of $TiO_2$-Rutile 500 nm paste with relatively larger particles are attractive. In this work, we investigates the applicability of a hybrid $TiO_2$ electrode (or a working electrode with a light scattering layer) in a DSSCs. We fabrication various thin film using $TiO_2$ paste 20 nm and $TiO_2$ paste 500 nm. As a result, the efficiency of the a single structure thin film was 3.35% and the efficiency as scattering layer of hybrid structure thin film was 4.36%, 4.73%.

To increase the luminance and luminous efficacy in the discharge for alternating current plasma display panel (ac PDP), the increment of Xe contents and long discharge gap are necessary. However, the driving voltage and the cost of driving circuit increases in the high Xe contents and long discharge path condition. In this paper, a long gap ITO hump electrode (LGH) model for discharge cells of ac PDP is evaluated in the various Xe contents($5{\sim}20%$). The discharge voltage of LGH structure is lower about 30V than that of ITa reference structure with same main discharge gap. The LGH structure has lower power consumption and higher luminance than those of reference structure, respectively. Also, the luminous efficacy of LGH structure is higher about 20% than that of ITO reference structure in the 20% Xe contents.

Despite the low removal efficiencies reported by previous studies, electro-flotation still stands out among other microalgae removal methods for its economical and environmental benefits. To enhance removal efficiency, the important factors that limit the performance of this method must be investigated. In this study, the possible ways of increasing the removal efficiency of microalgae have been explored by investigating the effects of several important variables in electro-flotation. Eight parameters, namely flotation time, rising time, current density, pH, conductivity, electrode distance, temperature and initial concentration were evaluated using a one-parameter-at-a-time approach. Results revealed that the operational parameters that greatly affected the removal efficiency of microalgae were electro-flotation time, current density, pH, and initial concentration. The effect of conductivity, electrode distance, and temperature on removal efficiency were insignificant. However, they exhibited positive an indirect positive effect on power demand, which is nowadays considered an equally important aspect in the running of a feasible and economically efficient electro-flotation process.
