Materials with a combination of high electrical conductivity and optical transparency are important components of many electronic and optoelectronic devices such as liquid crystal displays, solar cells, and light emitting diodes. In this study, to fabricate a low-resistance and high optical transparent electrode film for organic photovoltaic, the following steps were performed: the design and manufacture of an electroforming stamp mold, the fabrication of thermal roll imprinted (TRI) poly-carbonate (PC) patterned films, the manufacture of high-conductivity and low-resistance Ag paste which was filled into patterned PC film using a doctor blade process and then coated with a thin film layer of conductive polymer by a spin coating process. As a result of these imprinting processes the PC films obtained a line width of $10{\pm}0.5{\mu}m$, a channel length of $500{\pm}2{\mu}m$, and a pattern depth of $7.34{\pm}0.5{\mu}m$. After the Ag paste was used to fill part of the patterned film with conductive polymer coating, the following parameters were obtained: a sheet resistance of $9.65{\Omega}$/sq, optical transparency values were 83.69 % at a wavelength of 550 nm.

가공이 쉬우면서도 성능이 우수한 염료 감응 태양 전지(DSSC)용 상대 전극을 제조하기 위하여 다중벽 탄소 나노튜브(MWCNT) 기반의 고충전 나노복합 페이스트를 제조하고, MWCNT의 분산 제어가 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하여 보았다. MWCNT의 분산성을 향상시키기 위하여 폴리스티렌 기반의 기능성 블록 공중합체를 리빙 라디칼 중합법으로 합성하여 MWCNT의 표면 개질제로 사용하였으며, 적절한 용매 조건의 선택을 통하여 고충전 나노복합 페이스트의 가공성이 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. MWCNT의 분산 제어를 통해 이를 상대 전극으로 도입한 DSSC의 광전 변환 효율이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 볼밀법을 이용한 MWCNT의 물리적 분산을 통해서도 검증할 수 있었다. 미량의 platinum(Pt) 나노입자와 복합화시킬 경우, 표준 Pt 상대 전극보다도 더 우수한 성능을 가지는 MWCNT 기반 상대 전극을 제조할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the effects of a carbon fiber layer formed on the surface of an etched aluminum current collector on the electrochemical properties of the activated carbon electrodes for an electric double layer capacitor. A particle size analyzer, field-emission SEM, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherm analyzer are employed to analyze the structure of the carbon fiber layer. The electric and electrochemical properties of the activated carbon electrodes using a carbon fiber layer are evaluated using an electrode resistance meter and a charge-discharge tester, respectively. To uniformly coat the surface with carbon fiber, we applied a planetary mill process, adjusted the particle size, and prepared the carbon paste by dispersing in a binder. Subsequently, the carbon paste was coated on the surface of the etched aluminum current collector to form the carbon under layer, after which an activated carbon slurry was coated to form the electrodes. Based on the results, the interface resistance of the EDLC cell made of the current collector with the carbon fiber layer was reduced compared to the cell using the pristine current collector. The interfacial resistance decreased from 0.0143 Ω·cm² to a maximum of 0.0077 Ω·cm². And degradation reactions of the activated carbon electrodes are suppressed in the 3.3 V floating test. We infer that it is because the improved electric network of the carbon fiber layer coated on the current collector surface enhanced the electron collection and interfacial diffusion while protecting the surface of the cathode etched aluminum; thereby suppressing the formation of Al-F compounds.

Printing technology is accepted by appropriate technology that smart phones, tablet PC, display(LCD, OLED, etc.) precision recently in the electronics industry, the market grows, this process in the ongoing efforts to improve competitiveness through the development of innovative technologies. So printed electronics appeared by new concept. This technology development is applied on electronic components and circuits for the simplification of the production process and reduce processing costs. Low-temperature process making possible for widening, slimmer, lighter, and more flexible, plastic substrates, such as(flexible) easily by forming a thin film on a substrate has been studied. In the past, the formation of the electrode used a screen printing method. But the screen printing method is formation of fine patterns, high-speed printing, mass production is difficult. The roll-to-roll printing method as an alternative to screen printing to produce electronic devices by printing techniques that were used traditionally in the latest technology and processing techniques applied to precision control are very economical to implement fine-line printing equipment has been evaluated as. In order to function as electronic devices, especially the dozens of existing micro-level of non-dot print fine line printing is required, the line should not break at all, because according to the specifications required to fit the ink transfer conditions should be established. In this study of roll-to-roll printing conductive paste suitable for gravure offset printing by developing Ag paste for forming fine patterns to study the basic physical properties with the aim of this study were to.

The screen printed technique is one of the electrode forming technologies for crystalline silicon solar cell. It has the advantage that can raise the production efficiency due to simple process. The electrode technology is the core process because the electrode feature is given a substantial factor (for solar cell efficiency). In this paper, we tried to change conditions such as squeegee angle $55{\sim}75^{\circ}$, snap off 0.5~1.75 mm, printing pressure 0.6~0.3 MPa and 1.6~2.0 mm finger spacing. As a result, the screen printing process showed an improved performance with an increased height higher finger height. Optimization of fabrication process has achieved 17.48% efficiency at screen mesh of 1.6 mm finger spacing.

탄소나노튜브는 화학적 안정성과 고전도성을 갖는 동시에 높은 비표면적을 지니고 있다. 이와 같은 특정으로 염료감응형태양전지의 상대전극으로 사용 가능이 기대되어 지고 있으나, 아직 성공적인 연구가 발표되고 있지 않다. 많은 연구자들이 CNT 자체만으로 원하는 효과를 얻지 못하고 있기 때문에, CNT 조작(가공)을 통해 CNT 특성을 올리고자 노력하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서, 가공하지 않은 CNT powder를 이용하여 paste를 제조하고 doctro-blade법으로 코팅하여 CNT counter electrode를 제조하여 DSSC의 상대전극으로써의 적용 가능성을 조사 해 보았다. 제조된 CNT counter electrode에 대한 CNT 자체만의 전기화학적 특성을 측정하였다. 그리고 DSSC 에 직접 적용하여 전지의 광전특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 탄소나노튜브의 고전도성 특성과 넓은 비표면적 특성에 의해 상대전극의 전해질/전극계변에서의 전해질의 산화환원 반응에 대한 촉매 작용을 향상시키고, 상대전극 표변에서의 전자전달 속도를 높여 염료감응형 태양전지의 효율을 높이는 것으로 확인되어졌다.

In order to improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC), $TiO_2$ electrode screen-printed on transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate was sintered in variation with different temperature(350 to $550^{\circ}C$). $TiO_2$ electrode on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass was assembled with Pt counter electrode on FTO glass. I-V properties of DSC were measured under solar simulator. Also, effect of sintering temperature on surface morphology of $TiO_2$ films was investigated to understand correlation between its surface morphology and sintering temperature. Such surface morphology was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). From the measurement results, at sintering temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, both efficiency and fill factor of DSC were mutually complementary, enhancing highest fill factor and efficiency. Consequently, it was considered that optimum sintering temperature of $\alpha$-terpinol included $TiO_2$ paste is at $500^{\circ}C$.

Bio assay of mercury and cadmium ions were searched using voltammetric analysis using DNA doped carbon nanotube paste electrodes (DCP). The square-wave stripping voltammetryic optimized results indicated working ranges of 1-10.0 $ngL^{-1}$ and 20-100 $ugL^{-1}$, Hg(II) Cd(II) within an accumulation time of 120 seconds, in 0.1-M phosphate buffer solutions of pH 6.3. The relative standard deviations of 5 $ngL^{-1}$ Hg(II) and Cd(II) that observed were 0.14 and 0.22% (n=12), respectively, using optimum conditions. The low detection limit (S/N) was pegged at 0.1 $ngL^{-1}$ ($4.9{\times}10^{-11}M$) Hg(II) and 0.2 $ngL^{-1}$ ($1.77{\times}10^{-10}M$) Cd(II). The developed methods can be applied to assays in biological fish kidneys and water samples.

The interface between low carbon steel and blended cement pastes containing slag was investigated using impedance spectroscopy. In addition, the pastes were characterized by several analytical methods (XRD, EDX, electrode potential, pH and ICP). The electrical behavior of the interface in the blended slag systems is correlated to its corresponding pore solution chemistry and the products present in the interface. Passivation occurred at the paste/steel interfaces, in cement pastes up to containing from 0 to 75% slag content. 100% slag paste induced corrosion of the low carbon steel, which could be explained by the influence of sulfur on the system.
