Organic EL has been expected to adopt to a new styles of technology that make flat display after Tang & Vanslyke made good electric luminescence device in late 1980s. Their studies based on multi layer structure that consists of emitting layer and carrier transporting layer using proper organic material. In this study, we made multi layer device using $Eu(TTA)_3(phen)$ as a luminescence material by PVD and investigate luminous properties of each device. But oxidization of organic layer by ITO, energy walls in both pole interface, contaminations of ITO surface, importance of protecting membrane, diffusive dimming of light to cathode organic layer, these causes of degradations are common facts of a macromolecule and micromolecule. We think these degradation caused by the impact of heat and electro-chemical factor, bulk effect and interface phenomenon, and raise a question.

Water splitting is regarded as one of the most environmentally benign routes for hydrogen production. Nevertheless, the low energy efficiency to produce the hydrogen has been a critical bottleneck, which is attributable to the multi-electron and multi-step reactions during water splitting reaction. In this respect, the development of efficient, durable, and inexpensive catalysts that can promote the reaction is indispensable. Extensive searching for new catalysts has been carried out for past decades, identifying several promising catalysts. Recently, researchers have found that conventional battery materials; particularly high-voltage intercalation-based cathode materials, could exhibit remarkable performance in catalyzing the water splitting process. One of the unique capabilities in this class of materials is that the valency state of metals and the atomic arrangement of the structure can be easily tailored, based on simple intercalation chemistry. Moreover, taking advantage of the rich prior knowledge on the intercalation compounds can offer the unexplored path to identify new water splitting catalysts.

As a significant technology in the smartization era promoted by the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the secondary battery industry has recently attracted significant attention. The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which exhibit excellent performance, is considerably increasing in different industrial fields. During the manufacturing process of LIBs, it is necessary to join the cathode and anode sheets with thicknesses of several tens of micrometers to lead taps of the cathode and anode with thicknesses of several hundreds of micrometers. Ultrasonic welding exhibits excellent bonding when bonded with very thin plates, such as negative and positive electrodes of LIBs, and dissimilar and highly conductive materials. In addition, ultrasonic welding has a small heat-affected zone. In LIBs, Cu is mainly used as the negative electrode sheet, whereas Cu or Ni is used as the negative electrode tab. In this study, one or two electrode sheets (t0.025 mm Cu) were welded to one lead tab (t0.1 mm Cu). The welding energy and pressure were used as welding parameters to determine the welding strength of the interface between two or three welded materials. Finally, the effects of these welding parameters on the welding strength were investigated.

In recent years, thick ta-C coating has attracted considerable interest owing to its existing and potential commercial importance in applications such as automobile accessories, drills, and gears. The thickness of the ta-C coating is an important parameter in these applications. However, the biggest problems are achieving efficient coating and uniformity over a large area with high-speed deposition. Feasibility is confirmed for the ta-C coating thickness of up to 9.0 µm (coating speed: 3.0 µm/h, fixed substrate) using a single FCVA cathode. The thickness was determined using multiple coating cycles that were controlled using substrate temperature and residual stresses. In the present research, we have designed a coating system using FCVA plasma and produced enhanced thick ta-C coating. The system uses a specialized magnetic field configuration with stabilized DC arc plasma discharge during deposition. To achieve quality that is acceptable for use in automobile accessories, the magnetic field, T-type filters, and 10 pieces of a multi-cathode are used to demonstrate the deposition of the thick ta-C coating. The results of coating performance indicate that uniformity is ±7.6 , deposited area is 400 mm, and the thickness of the ta-C coating is up to 5.0 µm (coating speed: 0.3 µm/h, revolution and rotation). The hardness of the coating ranges from 30 to 59 GPa, and the adhesion strength level (HF1) ranges from 20 to 60 N, depending on the ta-C coating.

The fungi associated with termites secrete enzymes such as laccase (multi-copper oxidase) that can degrade extracellular wood matrix. Laccase uses molecular oxygen as an electron acceptor to catalyze the degradation of organic compounds. Owing to its ability to transfer electrons from the cathodic electrode to molecular oxygen, laccase has the potential to be a biocatalyst on the surface of the cathodic electrode of a microbial fuel cell (MFC). In this study, a two-chamber MFC using the laccase-producing fungus Galactomyces reessii was investigated. The fungus cultured on coconut coir was placed in the cathode chamber, while an anaerobic microbial community was maintained in the anode chamber fed by industrial rubber wastewater and supplemented by sulfate and a pH buffer. The laccase-based biocathode MFC (lbMFC) produced the maximum open circuit voltage of 250 mV, output voltage of 145 mV (with a $1,000{\Omega}$ resistor), power density of $59mW/m^2$, and current density of $278mA/m^2$, and a 70% increase in half-cell potential. This study demonstrated the capability of laccase-producing yeast Galactomyces reessii as a biocatalyst on the cathode of the two-chamber lbMFC.

솔라셀은 차세대 대체 에너지 소스로 최근 큰 각광을 받고 있다. 솔라셀의 제조에 있어 가장 중요한 공정은 마이크로 결정질 및 비결정질 실리콘(uC-Si:H and a-Si:H) 박막을 증착하는 PECVD (Plasma Enhanced CVD)공정이다. 현재까지 이 증착공정을 위한 플라즈마 소스로 CCP(Capacitively Coupled Plasma)가 주로 사용되어 왔다. 그러나, CCP를 플라즈마 소스를 사용한 경우 솔라셀 대량 생산 적용시 다른 방법들에 비해 긴 공정 시간이 해결해야 할 문제점으로 대두되었다. 본 발표에서는 솔라셀의 대량 생산을 위한 마이크로 결정질 실리콘 박막 증착에 있어 현 시점에서 해결되어야 할 문제점에 대해 고찰해 보고자 한다. 현재까지 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 적용되어 왔던 플라즈마 소스들을 나열하고 이러한 플라즈마 소스에 대한 특성 및 문제점들을 고찰한다. 또한, PECVD 공정상의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 플라즈마 조건을 플라즈마 벌크에서의 전자에너지 분포를 기준으로 제시하고자 한다. 솔라셀용 결정질 실리콘 박막 증착용 플라즈마 소스로 hollow cathode 방전이 가장 유력시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CCP 플라즈마에서 hollow cathode 방전시 발생되는 플라즈마 특성에 대한 기초 연구를 제시한다. 기초 연구를 위해 다양한 불활성 가스인 아르콘, 헬륨, 크립톤 가스에 13.56 MHz의 RF 파워를 인가하고 방전되는 플라즈마 밀도 변화를 관찰하였다. 특히, 다양한 hole diameter에서 발생되는 플라즈마 밀도의 변화를 기존 평면 CCP 플라즈마의 밀도에 비교하여 분석함으로써 hole diameter에 따른 효과를 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과는 PIC 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻은 전자에너지 분포함수를 바탕으로 메커니즘을 논의하고자 한다. 마지막으로 솔라셀용 PECVD공정을 위해 고밀도 플라즈마 소스의 필요성뿐 만 아니라 대면적 소스의 구현에 대한 문제점을 고찰하였다. 대면적 공정에서 가장 중요한 핵심 연구 이슈는 공정 균일도를 높이는 것이다. CCP 플라즈마 소스에서 전극의 크기가 대면적화 됨에 따라 발생되는 전자기파 효과에 의한 불균일도에 대해 RF 전자기장 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하고, 균일도 확보를 위한 방안에 대한 논의하고자 한다.

The distillation of liquid cathode is necessary to separate cadmium from the actinide elements in the pyroprocessing since the actinide deposits are dissolved or precipitated in a liquid cathode. It is very important to avoid a splattering of cadmium during evaporation due to the high vapor pressure. Several methods have been proposed to lower the splattering of cadmium during distillation. One of the important methods is an installation of crucible cover on the distillation crucible. A multi-layer porous round cover was proposed to avoid a cadmium splattering in our previous study. In this study, the effect of crucible cover on the cadmium distillation was examined to develop a splatter shield. Various surrogates were used for the actinides in the cadmium. The surrogates such as bismuth, zirconia, and tungsten don't evaporate at the operational temperature of the Cd distiller due to their low vapor pressures. The distillation experiments were carried out in a crucible equipped with cover and in a crucible without cover. About 40 grams of Cd was distilled at a reduced pressure for two hours at various temperatures. The mixture of the cadmium and the surrogate was heated at $470{\sim}620^{\circ}C$. Most of the bismuth remained in the crucible equipped with cover after distillation under $580^{\circ}C$ for two hours, whereas small amount of bismuth decreased in the crucible without cover above $580^{\circ}C$. The liquid bismuth escaped with liquid cadmium drop from the crucible without cover. It seems that the crucible cover played a role to prevent the splash of the liquid cadmium drop. The effect of the cover was not clear for the tungsten or zirconia surrogate since the surrogates remained as a solid powder at the experimental temperature. From the results of this work, it can be concluded that the crucible cover can be used to minimize the deposit loss by prevention of escape of liquid drop from the crucible during distillation of liquid cathode.
