본 연구에서는 고분자전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)의 전해질막의 성능향상을 위하여 sulfonated graphene oxide(sGO)와 Nafion을 이용하여 복합막을 개발하였다. sGO/Nafion 복합막 안의 sGO의 균일한 분산을 위해 각기 다른 용매를 사용한 sGO 분산액과 Nafion 현탁액을 혼합하여 복합막들을 제조하였다. 제조된 복합막들의 물성 및 전기화학적 특성을 평가하기 위해 SEM, FT-IR, 이온 전도도, 이온 교환 용량, 함수율, 열안정성 등을 수행하였다. 연구 결과 ODB와 DMAc 혼합 용매로 sGO를 분산하여 고분자 용액 내에서의 분산도를 향상시켰으며, 이 결과 11 wt%의 낮은 함수율에도 불구하고, $0.06Scm^{-1}$의 기존 연구와 유사한 이온 전도도를 나타내었다.

Petal-like nickel cobaltite ($NiCo_2O_4$)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites with different $rGO-to-NiCo_2O_4$ weight ratios were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and subsequent thermal treatment. In the $NiCo_2O_4/rGO$ composite, the $NiCo_2O_4$ 3-dimensional nanomaterials contributed to the improvement of electrochemical properties of the final composite material by preventing the restacking of the rGO sheet and securing ion movement passages. The composite structure was examined by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The FE-SEM and TEM images showed that petal-like $NiCo_2O_4$ was supported on the rGO surface. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used for the electrochemical analysis of composites. Among the prepared composites, $0.075g\;rGO/NiCo_2O_4$ composite showed the highest specific capacitance of $1,755Fg^{-1}$ at a current density of $2Ag^{-1}$. The cycle performance and rate capability of the composite material were higher than those of using the single $NiCo_2O_4$ material. These nano-structured composites could be regarded as valuable electrode materials for supercapacitors that require superior performance.

A multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/graphene (GR) composite was synthesized for an enhanced supercapacitor. Aerosol spray pyrolysis (ASP) was employed to synthesize the MWCNT/GR composites using a colloidal mixture of MWCNT and graphene oxide (GO). The effect of the weight ratio of the MWCNT/GO on the particle properties including the morphology and layered structure were investigated. The morphology of MWCNT/GR composites was generally the shape of a crumpled paper ball, and the average composite size was about $5{\mu}m$. MWCNT were uniformly dispersed in GR sheets and the MWCNT not only increase the basal spacing but also bridge the defects for electron transfer between GR sheets. Thus, it was increasing electrolyte/electrode contact area and facilitating transportation of electrolyte ion and electron in the electrode. Electrochemical data demonstrate that the MWCNT/GR (weight ratio=0.1) composite possesses a specific capacitance of 192 F/g at 0.1 A/g and good rate capability (88% capacity retention at 4 A/g) using two-electrode testing system.

복합재료의 제조에 있어서 분산은 매우 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 복합재료의 제조 시 matrix 용재에 강화재를 보다 잘 분산하기 위하여 용매를 사용하는데 용매에 따라 분산도가 달라지기 때문에 어떠한 용매가 분산에 용이할지에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 솔벤트 용매(DMF, NMP, Ethylene glycol, Acetone, DI water)에 대해 나노 필러인 산화 그래핀(Graphene oxide)의 용매에 따른 GO의 분산거동과 용해도 분석을 통해 분산에 유리한 용매를 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과 UV-Vis spectroscopy 흡광도 측정을 통해 DMF와 Ethylene glycol이 가장 좋은 분산성을 가짐을 알 수 있는 반면 DI water는 가장 낮은 분산성을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 표면장력과 시간에 따른 분산 육안 관측을 통해 DI water, Ethylene glycol, NMP, DMF, Acetone 순으로 분산성이 우수한 것을 알 수 있었는데 이는 Hansen solubility parameter 값과 일치하는 경향임을 확인할 수 있었다.

We proposed a simple process of creating electroconductive textiles by using PEDOT:PSS(Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate))/non-oxidized graphene to coat polyamide or polyurethane knitted fabric for smart healthcare purposes. Electroconductive textiles were obtained through a coating process that used different amounts of PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene solutions on polyamide/polyurethane knitted fabric. Subsequently, the surface, electrical, chemical, weight change, and elongation properties were evaluated according to the ratio of PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene composite(1.3 wt%:1.0 wt%; 1.3 wt%:0.6 wt%; 1.3 wt%:0.3 wt%) and the number of applications(once, twice, or thrice). The specimens' surface morphology was observed by FE-SEM. Further, their chemical structures were characterized using FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. The electrical properties measurement (sheet resistance) of the specimens, which was conducted by four-point contacts, shows the increase in conductivity with non-oxidized graphene and the number of applications in the composite system. Moreover, a test of the fabrics' mechanical properties shows that PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene-treated fabrics exhibited less elongation and better ability to recover their original length than untreated samples. Furthermore, the PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene polyamide/polyurethane knitted fabric was tested by performing tensile operations 1,000 times with a tensile strength of 20%; Consequently, sensors maintained a constant resistance without noticeable damage. This indicates that PEDOT:PSS/non-oxidized graphene strain sensors have sufficient durability and conductivity to be used as smart wearable devices.

Synthesis of RGO (reduced graphene oxide)-CdS composite material was performed through CBD (chemical bath deposition) method in which graphene oxide served as the support and Cadmium Sulfate Hydrate as the starting material. Graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted extensive attention due to their usefulness for environmental and energy applications. The band gap (2.4 eV) of CdS corresponds well with the spectrum of sunlight because the crystalline phase, size, morphology, specic surface area and defects, etc., of CdS can affect its photocatalytic activity. The specific surface structure (morphology) of the photocatalyst can be effective for the suppression of recombination between photogenerated electrons and holes. Graphene (GN) has unique properties such as a high value of Young's modulus, large theoretical specific surface area, excellent thermal conductivity, high mobility of charge carriers, and good optical transmittance. These excellent properties make GN an ideal building block in nanocomposites. It can act as an excellent electron-acceptor/transport material. Therefore, the morphology, structural characterization and crystal structure were observed using various analytical tools, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. From this analysis, it is shown that CdS particles were well dispersed uniformly in the RGO sheet. Furthermore, the photocatalytic property of the resulting RGO-CdS composite is also discussed in relation to environmental applications such as the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. It was found that the prepared RGO-CdS nanocomposites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared with that of CdS nanoparticles. Therefore, better efficiency of photodegradation was found for water purification applications using RGO-CdS composite.

본 연구에서는 1축 extruder를 원사 압출 장비로 사용하여 재활용 폴리프로필렌(rPP)으로 3D 프린터용 원사를 제조하였고, 전기화학적 박리 그래핀을 rPP 대비 10, 20 wt%로 첨가하여 그래핀 복합체 원사를 제조하였다. 전기화학적 박리그래핀은 그 분산도가 우수하여 균일한 rPP/그래핀 복합체 원사 제조를 가능하게 하였다. 그래핀의 함량이 증가할수록 열분해 속도 등 열적 성능이 향상되었다. 기계적 물성 또한 rPP 대비 그래핀 함량이 10 wt%일 때 증가하였는데, 20 wt%에서는 오히려 기계적 물성이 감소하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 제조한 원사들을 사용하여 상용 3D 프린터를 통해 3D 성형체를 성공적으로 제조할 수 있었으며, 폐플라스틱을 재활용하여 제조하였기 때문에 환경적, 경제적으로 이점을 가질 것으로 기대된다.

In the present work, bending and free vibration analyses of multilayered functionally graded (FG) graphene platelet (GPL) and fiber-reinforced hybrid composite beams are carried out using the parabolic function based shear deformation theory. Parabolic variation of transverse shear stress across the thickness of beam and transverse shear stress-free conditions at top and bottom surfaces of the beam are considered, and the proposed formulation incorporates a transverse displacement field. The present theory works only with four unknowns and is computationally efficient. Hamilton's principle has been employed for deriving the governing equations. Analytical solutions are obtained for both the bending and free vibration problems in the present work considering different variations of GPLs and fibers distribution, namely, FG-X, FG-U, FG-Λ, and FG-O for beams having simply-supported boundary condition. First, the matrix is assumed to be strengthened using GPLs, and then the fibers are embedded. Multiscale modeling for material properties of functionally graded graphene platelet/fiber hybrid composites (FG-GPL/FHRC) is performed using Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model. The study reveals that the distributions of GPLs and fibers have significant impacts on the stresses, deflections, and natural frequencies of the beam. The number of layers and shape factors widely affect the behavior of FG-GPL-FHRC beams. The multilayered FG-GPL-FHRC beams turn out to be a good approximation to the FG beams without exhibiting the stress-channeling effects.
