Aqueous zinc-ion batteries are considered as promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for energy storage owing to their safety and cost efficiency. However, their lifespan is limited by the irreversibility of Zn anodes because of Zn dendrite growth and side reactions such as the hydrogen evolution reaction and corrosion during cycling. Herein, we present a strategy to restrict direct contact between the Zn anode and aqueous electrolyte by fabricating a protective layer on the surface of Zn foil via phosphidation method. The Zn₃(PO₄)₂ protective layer effectively suppresses Zn dendrite growth and side reactions in aqueous electrolytes. The electrochemical properties of the Zn₃(PO₄)₂@Zn anode, such as the overpotential, linear polarization resistance, and hydrogen generation reaction, indicate that the protective layer can suppress interfacial corrosion and improve the electrochemical stability compared to that of bare Zn by preventing direct contact between the electrolyte and the active sites of Zn. Remarkably, MnO₂ Zn₃(PO₄)₂@Zn exhibited enhanced reversibility owing to the formation a stable porous layer, which effectively inhibited vertical dendrite growth by inducing the uniform plating of Zn²⁺ ions underneath the formed layer.

In order to improve the overall power conversion efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), it is very important to secure the sufficient surface area of photocatalytic nanoparticles layer for absorbing dye molecules. It is because increasing the amount of dye absorbed generally results in increasing the amount of light harvesting. In this work, we proposed a new method for increasing the specific surface area of photocatalytic titanium oxide ($TiO_2$) nanoparticles by using an inorganic templating method. Salt-$TiO_2$ composite nanoparticles were synthesized in this approach by spray pyrolyzing both the titanium butoxide and sodium chloride solution. After aqueous removal of salt from salt-$TiO_2$ composite nanoparticles, mesoporous $TiO_2$ nanoparticles with pore size of 2~50 nm were formed and then the specific surface area of resulting porous $TiO_2$ nanoparticle was measured by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. Generally, commercially available P-25 with the average primary size of ~25 nm $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was used as an active layer for dye-sensitized solarcells, and the specific surface area of P-25 was found to be ~50 $m^2/g$. On the other hand, the specific surface area of mesoporous $TiO_2$ nanoparticles prepared in this approach was found to be ~286 $m^2/g$, which is 5 times higher than that of P-25. The increased specific surface area of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles will absorb relatively more dye molecules, which can increase the short curcuit current (Jsc) in DSSCs. The influence of nanoporous structures of $TiO_2$ on the performance of DSSCs will be discussed in terms of the amount of dye molecules absorbed, the fill factor, the short circuit current, and the power conversion efficiency.

Composite membranes with a titania layer were prepared by soaking-rolling method with the titania sol of nanoparticles formed in the sol-gel process and investigated regarding the vapor permeation of various organic mixtures. The support modification was conducted by pressing $SiO_2$ xerogel of 500 nm in particle size under 10 MPa on the surface of a porous stainless steel (SUS) substrate and designed the multi-layered structure by coating the intermediate layer of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Microstructure of titania membrane was affected by heat-treatment and synthesis conditions of precursor sol, and titania formed at calcination temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$ with sol of [$H^+$]/[TIP]=0.3 possessed surface area of 210 $m^2$/g, average pore size of 1.25 nm. The titania composite membrane showed high $H_2/N_2$ selectivity and water/ethanol selectivity as 25-30 and 50-100, respectively. As a result of vapor permeation for water-alcohol and alcohol-alcohol mixture, titania composite membrane showed water-permselective and molecular-sieve permeation behavior. However, water/methanol selectivity of the membrane was very low because of chemical affinity of permeants for the membrane by similar physicochemical properties of water and methanol.

(Type A, B 및 C)으로 분류되며, 이들 미끼구조들은 단일 단괴에서도 혼합구조로서 흔히 산출된다. 각 유형은 상이한 화학성분과 구성광물 및 결정도를 나타내며 이 중 A형은 조립질 조직을 갖고있고 다른 유형에 비해 결정도가 높은 Todorokite로 주로 구성되고 Mn의 함량도 놀은 반면에 B와 C형은 중간 내지는 세립질 조직을 갖고 있다$(Mn=30.6\%)$. 또한 A형은 상대적으로 빠른 성장속도를 나타내며, 보트리오이드 사이의 공극에서 Smectite와 규질화석이 나타난다. 이러한 특징은 A형 구조를 갖는 미세한 층(microlayer)의 성인이 해저에서의 열수작용과 관련된 것으로 생각되며, 열수용액은 주변 단열대와 해저확장대로부터 공급된 것으로 추정된다.

ITO(indium tin oxide)와 PSL(porous silicon layer)을 이용하여 n-ITO/p-PSL 이종접합형 광검출 소자를 실리콘 기판상에 제조하였다. 실리콘 질화막과 Ni-Cr/Au를 이용하여 선택적으로 양극반응을 시켰으며, 각 소자를 메사구조로 정의하여 소자간을 격리하였고 ITO를 이용하여 소자의 열화문제를 억제시켰다. 제조된 소자에 백색광을 $0{\sim}3000Lux$까지 변화시키면서 얻은 I-V 특성으로부터 광전류가 입사된 광량에 선형적으로 비례함을 알았다. 제조된 소자는 약 -40V의 역방향 바이어스까지 안정되게 동작하였으며 암전류 밀도가 약 $40nA/mm^{2}$로 나타났다. Xe램프를 이용하여 $400nm{\sim}1100nm$까지 파장을 변화시키면서 측정한 결과 $600nm{\sim}700nm$사이에서 약 0.6A/W의 광응답을 나타내었다. 또한 제조된 소자는 3주 경과 후에도 거의 특성의 변화가 관찰되지 않았다.

PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) 복합막을 통한 기체분리 공정에서 다공성 지지체의 투과저항과 PDMS 코팅두께가 에틸렌/질소의 분리성능(투과도, 선택도)에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하였다. 이를 위해 Pinnau 등이 제시한 복합막 투과저항 모델이론식〔1〕이 사용되었다. 지지체의 투과도 또는 투과저항은 PES (polyethersulfone)/NMP(N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) 고분자 용액의 농도를 변화시키면서 조절하였다. 복합막은 PES 지지체 위에 n-hexane에 녹인 2액형 PDMS 용액을 spin coater를 사용해 코팅하여 제조하였다. 선택층의 코팅 두께는 spin coater의 회전속도를 통해 조절하였다. 투과기체 분리특성은 단일기체 투과도 측정 장치를 통해 조사하였으며, 지지체 및 복합막의 단면구조 및 코팅두께는 SEM (scanning electron microscope)을 통하여 확인하였다 얻어진 실험결과는 복합막의 투과저항모델의 이론식과 매우 잘 일치함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 에틸렌/질소의 분리에 있어 PDMS 막 고유의 선택도를 얻기 위해서는 지지체의 투과저항과 코팅층의 최적화가 중요함을 확인하였다.

The liquid cathode processing is necessary to separate cadmium from the actinide elements in the pyroprocessing since the actinide deposits are dissolved or precipitated in a liquid cathode. Distillation process was employed for the cathode processing owing to the compactness. 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. A multi-layer porous round cover was proposed to avoid a cadmium splattering in our previous study. In this study, distillation behavior of $Cd-ZrO_2$ and Cd - Bi systems were investigated to examine a multi-layer porous round cover for the development of the cadmium splatter shield of distillation crucible. It was designed that the cadmium vapor can be released through the holes of the shield, whereas liquid drops can be collected in the multiple hemisphere. The cover was made with three stainless steel round plates with a diameter of 33.50 mm. The distance between the hemispheres and the diameter of the holes are 10 and 1 mm, respectively. Bismuth or zirconium oxide powder was used as a surrogate for the actinide elements. 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 distilled at 470, 570 and $620^{\circ}C$ in the crucible with the cover. Most of the bismuth or zirconia remained in the crucible after distillation at 470 and $570^{\circ}C$ for two hours. It was considered that the crucible cover hindered the splattering of the liquid cadmium from the distillation crucible. A considerable amount of the surrogate material reduced after distillation at $620^{\circ}C$ due to the splattering of the liquid cadmium. The low temperature is favorable to avoid a liquid cadmium splattering during distillation. However, the optimum temperature for the cadmium distillation should be decided further, since the evaporation rate decreases with a decreasing temperature.

A $ZnO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst decorated with PbS quantum dots (QDs) was synthesized to achieve high photocatalytic efficiency for the decomposition of dye in aqueous media. A $TiO_2$ porous layer, as a precursor photocatalyst, was fabricated using micro-arc oxidation, and exhibited irregular porous cells with anatase and rutile crystalline structures. Then, a ZnO-deposited $TiO_2$ catalyst was fabricated using a zinc acetate solution, and PbS QDs were uniformly deposited on the surface of the $ZnO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. For the PbS $QDs/ZnO/TiO_2$ photocatalyst, ZnO and PbS nanoparticles are uniformly precipitated on the $TiO_2$ surface. However, the diameters of the PbS particles were very fine, and their shape and distribution were relatively more homogeneous compared to the ZnO particles on the $TiO_2$ surface. The PbS QDs on the $TiO_2$ surface can induce changes in band gap energy due to the quantum confinement effect. The effective band gap of the PbS QDs was calculated to be 1.43 eV. To evaluate their photocatalytic properties, Aniline blue decomposition tests were performed. The presence of ZnO and PbS nanoparticles on the $TiO_2$ catalysts enhanced photoactivity by improving the absorption of visible light. The PbS $QDs/ZnO/TiO_2$ heterojunction photocatalyst showed a higher Aniline blue decomposition rate and photocatalytic activity, due to the quantum size effect of the PbS nanoparticles, and the more efficient transport of charge carriers.

Carbon is an attractive material on electro double capacitor which depend on charge storage in the electrode/electrolyte interfacial double layer. Carbonaceous material for double layer capacitor can be obtained from carbon powder, fiber, film and porous carbon sheet. The capacitance of electrodes using an activated carbon was influenced by a filling density of the carbon, thickness and internal resistance of the electrode. In this study. to reduce internal resistance and increase electric conductivity of the electrode. activated carbon/carbon(AC/C) composite electrode was fabricated. The capacitors which have energy densities of 68F/g(at $30^{\circ}C$), 109F/g(at $60^{\circ}C$) and $68F/cm^3$(at $30^{\circ}C$), $111F/cm^3$(at $60^{\circ}C$) were fabricated by using AC/C composite electrodes.
