An imprinted potentiometric sensor was developed for direct and selective determination of gabapentin. Sensor is based on carbon paste electrode adapted by graphene oxide that is decorated with silver nanoparticles and mixed with molecularly imprinted polymers nanoparticles using gabapentin as a template molecule. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Under optimal experimental conditions, the studied sensor exhibited high selectivity and sensitivity with LOD of $4.8{\times}10^{-11}mol\;L^{-1}$. It provided a wide linearity range from $1{\times}10^{-10}$ to $1{\times}10^{-3}mol\;L^{-1}$ and high stability for more than 3 mo. The sensor was effectively used for the determination of gabapentin in pharmaceutical tablets and spiked plasma samples.

We prepared indium zinc oxide (IZO) thin film for cathode electrode such as an application of flat panel display by using the facing targets sputtering (FTS) method at room temperature. The effects of input power and film thickness were investigated with respect to physical and optical properties of films such as deposition rate, electrical properties, microstructure and transmittance. We could obtain properties of IZO thin films of under $10^{-3}\;{\Omega}-cm$ in resistivity and the thin films of over 90% in transmittance. Also, we obtained IZO thin films which were an amorphous structure.

This paper reports the piezoelectric microspeakers that are audible in open air with high quality piezoelectric AlN thin film deposited onto Mo/Ti electrode. This successful achievement, compared to the previous results, is followed by manipulating two material properties: the one is to use a compressively stressed silicon nitride film as a supporting diaphragm (even tensile stressed, around +20 MPa) and the another is to use high quality AlN thin film with compressive residual stress (less than -100 MPa). With these materials, the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of the fabricated micro speakers shows more than 60 dB from 100 Hz to 15 kHz and the highest SPL is about 100 dB at 9.3 kHz with 20 Vpeak-to-peak sinusoidal input and with 10 mm distances from the fabricated micro speakers to the reference microphone (B&K Type 2669 & 4192L).

We fabricate the conductive zinc oxide(ZnO) thin film using UV-enhanced atomic layer deposition. ZnO is semiconductor with a wide band gap(3.37eV) and transparent in the visible region. ZnO can be deposited with various method, such as metal organic chemical vapour deposition, magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser ablation deposition. In this experiment, ZnO thin films was deposited by atomic layer deposition using diethylzinc (DEZ) and D.I water as precursors with UV irradiation during water dosing. As a function of UV exposure time, the resistivity of ZnO thin films decreased dramatically. We were able to confirm that UV irradiation is one of the effective way to improve conductivity of ZnO thin film. The resistivity was investigated by 4 point probe. Additionally, we confirm the thin film composition is ZnO by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We anticipate that this UV-enhanced ZnO thin film can be applied to electronics or photonic devices as transparent electrode.

AC-electroosmosis is one of the electrokinetic forces leading to phenomena peculiar in the microfluidics. This paper shows particle deformation in the microchannel with rectangular electrodes on the bottom wall for the AC-electroosmotic flows. We make a PDMS microchannnel with ITO electrodes To measure velocity distributions of the particles we used a three-dimensional particle tracking velocimetry (micro-PTV) technique this method is Particle tracking by interpolation the diffraction pattern ring diameter variations with the defocusing distances of base particle locations. we induce a function of frequency at the electrode. We find the velocity of particles is the most at the edge of the electrodes and Particles move to side wall or center of the channel for the bottom and middle.

o-Phenylenediamine (o-PD) was electropolymerized on glassy carbon electrodes under a potential cycling condition. The resulting polymer films mediated electrons for the reduction of molecular oxygen at pH=1.0. It was found from the RDE, RRDE, and cyclic voltammetry experiments that the modified electrodes reduce oxygen to hydrogen peroxide at about 300 mV lower potential than the bare glassy carbon electrode. The polymer film consisted of more than two components. Among those, only one component was active in oxygen reduction, which was formed mainly in the earlier stage of the electropolymerization. 2,3-Diaminophenazine, a cyclic dimer of o-PD, was also active in the oxygen reduction reaction, from which it was suggested that the active polymeric component has a structural unit similar to the cyclic dimer. Finally, the electropolymerization mechanism for the formation of the active and inactive components has been proposed.

The new 1,2-dithiolene, 1,4-butanediyldithioethylene-1,2-dithiolate (BDDT2-), has been isolated. In addition, new monoanionic bis-complexes with nickel and copper have been prepared and characterized. In order to investigate the detailed electronic structure of the metal complexes of the new ligand, BDDT2-, in terms of the oxidation state of the central metal ions, we have carried out molecular orbital (MO) calculations of Ni(BDDT)2-and Cu(BDDT)2- utilizing an Extended Huckel method. Cyclic voltammetry data for both complexes were obtained with a potentiostat. We have also compared these results to the previously synthesized Ni(PDDT)2-, Ni(DDDT)2-,Cu(PDDT)2-, and Cu(DDDT)2-.

The reliability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) particularly depends on the high quality of solid oxide electrolytes. The application of thinner electrolytes and multi electrolyte layers requires a more reliable characterization method. Most of the investigations on thin film solid electrolytes have been made for the parallel transport along the interface, which is not however directly related to the fuel cell performance of those electrolytes. In this work an array of ion-blocking metallic Ti/Au microelectrodes with about a $160{\mu}m$ diameter was applied on top of an ultrathin ($1{\mu}m$) yttria-stabilized-zirconia/gadolinium-doped-ceria (YSZ/GDC) heterolayer solid electrolyte in a micro-SOFC prepared by PLD as well as an 8-${\mu}m$ thick YSZ layer by screen printing, to study the transport characteristics in the perpendicular direction relevant for fuel cell operation. While the capacitance variation in the electrode area supported the working principle of the measurement technique, other local variations could be related to the quality of the electrolyte layers and deposited electrode points. While the small electrode size and low temperature measurements increaseed the electrolyte resistances enough for the reliable estimation, the impedance spectra appeared to consist of only a large electrode polarization. Modulus representation distinguished two high frequency responses with resistance magnitude differing by orders of magnitude, which can be ascribed to the gadolinium-doped ceria buffer electrolyte layer with a 200 nm thickness and yttria-stabilized zirconia layer of about $1{\mu}m$. The major impedance response was attributed to the resistance due to electron hole conduction in GDC due to the ion-blocking top electrodes with activation energy of 0.7 eV. The respective conductivity values were obtained by model analysis using empirical Havriliak-Negami elements and by temperature adjustments with respect to the conductivity of the YSZ layers.

$Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3$/carbon composite materials are synthesized from a sucrose-containing precursor. Amorphous $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3/C$ (a-LVP/C) and crystalline $Li_3V_2(PO_4)_3/C$ (c-LVP/C) are obtained by calcining at $600^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$, respectrively, and electrochemical performance as the negative electrode for lithium secondary batteries is compared for two samples. The a-LVP electrode shows much larger reversible capacity than c-LVP, which is ascribed to the spatial $Li^+$ channels and flexible structure of amorphous material. In addition, this electrode shows an excellent rate capability, which can be accounted for by the facilitated $Li^+$ diffusion through the defect sites. The sloping voltage profile is another advantageous feature for easy SOC (state of charge) estimation.

Specific capacitance and charge-discharge rate of EDLC using activated carbon electrode were affected by the compositions of electrolytes, the conditions of charge-discharge and physical properties of activated carbon materials. The activated carbon electrode was prepared by dip coating method. Charge-discharge test and electrochemical experiments were carried out for various kinds of organic electrolytes. Effects of charge and discharge current density on the specific capacitance were studied. Characteristics of leakage current, self-discharge and time-voltage curves in optimum conditions of organic electrolytes were compared with conventional $1M-Et_4NBF_4/PC$ electrolyte. The EDLC using MSP-20(specific surface area: $2000m^2/g$) electrode and $1M-LiPF_6/PC-DEC(1:1)$ was exhibited th highest specific capacitance of 130F/g and low polarization resistances. The EDLC using MSP-20 electrode at $1M-LiPF_6/PC-DEC(1:1)$ was small leak current of 0.0004A for 15min, long voltage retention of 0.8V after 100h and linear time-voltage curves with small IR-drop.
