For the polymer tandem cell, simple and advantaged solution-based method to electron transport intermediate layer is presented which are composed $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. Device were based on a regioregular Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl $C_{61}$ butyric acid methyl ester($PC_{60}BM$) blend as a donor and acceptor bulk-heterojunction. For the middle electrode interlayer, the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were well dispersed in ethanol solution and formed thin layer on the P3HT:PCBM charge separation layer by spin coating. The layer serves as the electron transport layer and divides the polymer tandem solar cell. The open-circuit voltage (Voc) for the polymer tandem solar cells was closed to the sum of those of individual cells.

본 연구에서는 전자 주개 물질(electron donor)인 regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)와 전자 받개 물질(electron acceptor)인 phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)을 혼합한 복합 박막 구조(Bulk Heterojunction)를 이용하여 태양전지를 제작하고 광활성층(Active layer)의 두께를 변화시키면서 광학적 특성 및 전기적 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 광활성층의 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 광흡수율이 높기 때문에 태양전지의 효율이 증가하여 200nm정도의 두께에서 가장 좋은 특성을 보였으며, 그 이상의 두께에서는 광흡수율이 높더라도 직렬저항(Series resistance)의 증가로 개방 회로 전압이 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, 최적화된 광활성층의 두께(190nm)에서 개방 회로 전압($V_{oc}$)은 0.6V, 단락 회로 전류($J_{sc}$)는 8.29mA, Fill factor(FF)는 0.59, 전력변환효율($\eta$)은 2.94%였다.

The use of bacteria as a novel biotechnology to facilitate the production of nanoparticles is in its infancy. Cobalt-substituted magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by a thermophilic iron(III)-reducing bacterium, TOR-39, under anaerobic conditions using amorphous Fe(III) oxyhydroxides plus cobalt ( $Co^{2+}$ and $Co^{3+}$ ) as an electron acceptor and organic carbon as an electron donor. Microbial processes produced copious amounts of nm-sized cobalt substituted magnetites. Chemical analysis and X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that cobalt was substituted into biologically facilitated magnetites. Microbially facilitated synthesis of the cobalt-substituted magnetites may expand the possible use of the specialized ferromagnetic particles.

3-Chromonealdehyde(2,2-disubstituted)hydrazone derivatives were synthesized by dehydration condensation. They are green-emitting materials for organic light emitting device (OLED) composed of electron acceptor of 3-chromonealdehydes and electron donor of 2,2-disubstituted hydrazones by a conjugated structure. The structural properties of reaction products were analyzed FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy. The thermal stabilities and reactivities were measured by melting points and yields. The UV-visibles and PL properties can be determined by excitation spectra and emission spectra, respectively.

Several tests were conducted to optimize the design parameters of ln-situ soil flushing processes for diesel contaminated soil. According to the batch extraction test for three anionic surfactants evaluation, Calgonit limiting bubble occurrence was selected for its higher oil cleaning efficiency. After optimum surfactant selection, there were many sets of column flushing test. Over 70% of BTEX was removed in this surfactant dose with 400% of soil volume. In the case of no surfactant addition flushing in column, so called "blank flushing test", BTEX removal rate was 64%. But when we reused the effluent for the cleaning solution, the removal rate was decreased to 46.9%. This result showed reabsorption of oil occurred on the soil. With the addition of Calgonit solution to the diesel contaminated column, BTEX was removed up to 98.9% during the first flushing and 99.4% for the second recirculation flushing. In microcosm tests, diesel contaminated soils were cleaned by both surfactant flushing and biological activities. In anoxic condition, nitrate was used as an electron acceptor while the surfactant and the oil were used an electron donor. BTEX removal efficiency could be achieved up to 80% by biological degradation.

We report on a new patterning technique for organic functional materials applicable to organic photovoltacis (OPVs). The unconventioal patterning technique, $O_2$ plsama-etching selectively perfluoro-alkyl fluorosilanes, is used for producing a bulk-heterojunction active layer with poly(3-hexylthiophene) as the electron donor and [6,6]-phenyl-$C_{61}$ butyric acid methyl ester as the electron acceptor. The patterning with reduced leakage path and parasitic capacitance suggests a way for fabrication of OPVs with higher energy conversion efficiency.

4-(Dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (DCM) derivatives were synthesized by Knoevenagel condensation. They are red-emitting materials for OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) composed of electron donor of aminostyryl groups and electron acceptor of two cyano(nitrile)groups in a conjugated structure. The structural properties of reaction products were analyzed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy. The thermal stabilities and reactivities were measured by melting points and yields. The UV-visible and PL properties can be determined by exitation and emission spectra, respectively.

New efficient red emitter having short p?-conjugation length and asymmetric bulky structure, 2-(7-diphenylamino-benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole-4-ylmethylene)-malononitrile, was synthesized and characterized. Using this material as a dopant, we fabricated electroluminescence device with a structure of ITO/DNTPD/NPD/BTZA (5 wt% in Alq3)/Alq3/LiF/Al. The device exhibited a high brightness of 761 cd/m2 at a driving voltage of 4.8 V, and current efficiency is 0.75 cd/A. The Commission International de IEclairage (CIE) coordinates of the EL device were found to be (0.62, 0.37) at 10 mA/cm2.

We studied the water splitting into $H_2$ and $O_2$ using two different semiconductor photo catalysts and redox mediator, mimicking the Z-scheme mechanism of the photosynthesis, $H_2$ evolution took place on a Pt-$SrTiO_2$ (Cr-Ta doped) photocatalyst using $I^-$ electron donor under the visible light irradiation. The Pt-$WO_3$ photocatalyst showed an excellent activity of the $O_2$ evolution using $IO_3^-$ electron acceptor under visible light. $H_2$ and $O_2$ gases evolved in the stoichiometric ratio($H_2/O_2$=2) under visible light using a mixture of the Pt-$WO_3$ and Pt-$SrTiO_3$ (Cr-Ta doped) suspended in NaI aqueous solution. We proposed a two-step photo-excitation mechanism using redox mediator under the visible irradiation.

In this research, nanocomposite layers consisting of poly (3,4,-ethylene dioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS) and CuO nanoparticles were investigated as hole transport layers in organic solar cells based on poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as the electron donor and (6.6) phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as the electron acceptor. The addition of CuO nanoparticles to PEDOT:PSS layer improved the solar cell performance with 0.5% CuO nanoparticle concentration. At optimized concentration, CuO mixed PEDOT:PSS films had good electrical ($4.131{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) and optical (transmittance > 90%) properties for using hole transporting layer. We investigated that improved solar cell performance with CuO nanoparticles mixed PEDOT:PSS films.
