Parylene coating was adopted on CdZnTe (CZT) detector as a mechanical protection layer after wet passivation with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and ammonium fluoride (NH₄F). Wet chemical passivant lose their effectiveness when exposed to the ambient conditions for a long time. Parylene coating could protect the effectiveness of passivation, by mechanically blocking the exposure to the ambient conditions. Stability of CZT detector was tested with the measurement of leakage current density and response to radio-isotopes. When the enough thickness of parylene (>100 ㎛) is adopted, parylene is a promising protection layer thereby ensuring the performance and long-term stability of CZT detectors.

Hydrogen energy as an alternative source of energy has been receiving tremendous support around the world, and research is being actively conducted accordingly. However, most of the studies focus on hydrogen storage tanks and only are few studies on interpreting the hydrogen filling system itself. In this study, with reference to SAE J2601, a hydrogen fueling protocol, a simulation model was developed that can confirm the behavior of the vehicle's internal tank during hydrogen fueling. With respect to factors such as fuel supply temperature, ambient temperature, and pressure increase rate, the developed model can check the change of temperature and pressure in the tank and the state of hydrogen charging during hydrogen fueling. The validity of the developed simulation model was confirmed by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results presented in SAE J2601.

Hydrogen has been considered as an important and essential future energy source. But the storage of the hydrogen is a difficult problem and many studies were focused on this matter. However, the MTH-system (methylcyclohexane, toluene, hydrogen) was proposed for storage of hydrogen by Taube et al. and that is the reaction of hydrogen with toluene to give methylcyclohexane. One toluene molecule can store six hydrogen atoms to form methylcyclohexane. In this form the hydrogen can be easily stored in liquid organic hydrides and transported at ambient pressure in tanks. Hence, this study is focused on the catalytic dehydrogenation of methylcyclohexane. Since supported platinum and nickel were employed as catalysts in literature, in this study, porous Pt and Ni were prepared and tested for the dehydrogenation reaction. When the porous Pt catalyst was applied to the dehydrogenation it showed higher activity in the reaction and higher selectivity to toluene. Specially at higher pressure, it showed almost 100 % conversion and 100 % selectivity and hence porous platinum could be considered as best for the given reaction.

격납건물에서 수소폭발이 발생된다면 다중방어벽을 훼손하고 다량의 방사능 물질을 방출시킬 수 있기 때문에 노심용융과 함께 발생되는 수소를 효과적으로 제어하고 제거해야 하지만 사고 원인의 다양성과 수소분포, 거동의 불규칙성 때문에 폭발 저감을 위한 대책마련이 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 가장 넓게 사용되는 수소저감 기술인 피동촉매형수소재결합기(PAR)의 수소저감 효율을 높이기 위해 외부 유동을 고려한 가이드 구조에 관하여 연구하였다. 2단 촉매 PAR 내부형상을 기본으로 하여 PAR 외부에 가이드를 부착하였을 때 유체의 거동과 수소저감효율에 대해서 해석을 수행하였다. 유동이 아래에서 위로 올라가는 경우 가이드 높이 150mm, 촉매와 가이드 직접 부착, 가이드 각도가 $60^{\circ}$인 구조가 최적으로 판단되며 유동이 옆에서 불어오는 경우 촉매와 가이드 거리 100mm인 구조가 최적으로 판단되고, 유동이 위에서 아래로 내려오는 경우 직접부착, 높이 50mm 가이드 구조가 최적으로 판단된다.

In this study, we have investigated the effect of the ambient gases on the characteristics of IZO thin films for the OLED (organic light emitting diodes) devices. For this purpose, IZO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering under various ambient gases (Ar, $Ar+O_2$ and $Ar+H_2$) at $150^{\circ}C$. In order to investigate the influences of the oxygen and hydrogen, the flow rate of oxygen and hydrogen in argon mixing gas has been changed from 0.1sccm to 0.5sccm, respectively. All the samples show amorphous structure regardless of ambient gases. The electrical resistivity of IZO film increased with increasing flow rate of $O_2$ under $Ar+O_2$ while under $Ar+H_2$ atmosphere the electrical resistivity showed minimum value near 0.5sccm of $H_2$. All the films showed the average transmittance over 85% in the visible range. The OLED device was fabricated with different IZO substrates made by configuration of IZO/${\alpha}$-NPD/DPVB/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al to elucidate the performance of IZO substrate. OLED devices with the amorphous-IZO (a-IZO) anode film show better current densityvoltage-luminance characteristics than that of OLED devices with the commercial crystalline-ITO (c-ITO) anode film. It can be explained that very flat surface roughness and high work function of a-IZO anode film lead to more efficient hole injection by reduction of interface barrier height between anode and organic layers. This suggests that a-IZO film is a promising anode materials substituting conventional c-ITO anode in OLED devices.

Hydrogen passivation of Si nanocrystals identifies luminescence mechanism indirectly. Si nanocrystallites thin films on p-type (100) Si substrate have been fabricated by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser After deposition, Si nanocrystallites thin films have been annealed at 600$^{\circ}C$ and 760$^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient, respectively. Hydrogen passivation was subsequently performed at 500$^{\circ}C$ in forming gas (95 % N$_2$ + 5 % H$_2$) for an 1 hour. We report the photoluminescnece(PL) property of Si thin films by the hydrogen passivation. The luminescence mechanism of Si nanocrystallites has also been investigated.

The binding ability and hydrogen storage capacity of nitrogen doped carbon nanotube with divacancy (4NDCN_xNT) that is decorated with transition metals was investigated based on density functional theory calculations. Results indicate that scandium shows an ideal reversible hydrogen binding capability with promising system-weight efficiency compared with other transition metals when functionalized with 4ND-CN_xNT. The (Sc/4ND)₁₀-CN_xNT can store up to 50H₂ molecules, corresponding to a maximum gravimetric density of 5.8 wt%. Detailed structural stability and electronic properties were reported as hydrogen molecules were absorbed. It takes about 0.16 eV/H₂ to add one H₂ molecule, which assures reversible storage of H₂ molecules under ambient conditions.

The quasi-solid-state hybrid electrolytes were synthesized by chemical cross-linking reaction of methacrylate-functionalized $SiO_2$ ($MA-SiO_2$) and tetra (ethylene glycol) diacrylate in aqueous electrolyte. A quasi-solid-state electrolyte synthesized by 6 wt.% $MA-SiO_2$ exhibited a high ionic conductivity of $177mS\;cm^{-1}$ at room temperature. The electrochemical $H_2$ sensor assembled with quasi-solid-state electrolyte showed relatively fast response and high sensitivity for hydrogen gas at ambient temperature, and exhibited better durability and stability than the liquid electrolyte-based sensor. The simple construction of the sensor and its sensing characteristics make the quasi-solid-state hydrogen sensor promising for practical application.

Concentrations of hydrogen sulfide in ambient air have been measured from January 2014 to June 2016 in a coastal area near the Ulsan National Industrial Complex. The measurement sites were 1 km, 2.6 km, 5.6 km, and 20 km away from a kraft pulp mill, which is located at the most southern edge of the complex. Concentrations above 0.4 ppb were monitored every 5 min and the highest concentration of the day was determined. From a total of 775 measurement days, hydrogen sulfide concentrations > 20 ppb were recorded on 36 and 38 days at the measurement site closest to the mill and the residential area 2.6 km away from the mill, respectively. At the site farthest from the mill, the concentrations were always 20 ppb lower than the malodor regulation for the residential area but sometimes higher than the odor recognition threshold for hydrogen sulfide. Although several emission sources of hydrogen sulfide have been published in the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register of Korea, the kraft pulp mill is considered to be the biggest contributor of atmospheric hydrogen sulfide in the southern coastal area of Ulsan.

We have investigated the effect of the hydrogen flow rate on the characteristics of IZO thin films for the TCO (transparent conducting oxide). For this purpose, IZO thin films are deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at 300℃ with various H₂ flow rate. To investigate the influences of the ambient gases, the flow rate of hydrogen in argon was varied from 0.1 sccm to 1 sccm. The IZO thin films deposited at 300℃ show crystalline structure having an (222) preferential orientation. The electrical resistivity of the crystalline-IZO films deposited at 300℃ and hydrogen gas of 0.8sccm was 3.192×10^-4Ω cm, the lowest value. As the hydrogen gas flow rate increased, the resistivity tended to decrease. The XPS profiles showed that the number of oxygen vacancy decreased as the hydrogen flow rate increased. The transmittance of the IZO films deposited at 300℃ were showed more than 80%.
