투명전도성산화물(transparent conducting oxides, TCOs) 박막으로써 널리 쓰이는 산화인듐주석(indium tin oxide, ITO)은 전기 전도성과 광 투과성이 우수하여 주로 유기발광다이오드(organic light-emitting diode, OLED)의 전극, 발광다이오드(light-emitting diode, LED)의 current spreading 층 및 태양전지(solar cell)의 윈도우층(window layer) 등의 광전자 소자로 응용되고 있으나, 고가의 indium 가격과 인체에 유해한 독성 등이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 indium의 함량을 저감한 새로운 조성의 TCO 또는 indium을 함유하지 않은 친환경적인 TCO 대체 재료 개발의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 재료 중 하나인 AZO (Al-doped zinc oxide, $Al_2O_3$: 2 wt.%)는 3.82eV의 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 가지며, 가시광선 및 근 적외선 파장 영역에 대하여 90% 이상의 높은 투과율을 나타낸다. 또한, 습식식각이 가능하며, 매우 풍부하여 원가가 매우 저렴하고, 독성이 없다. 본 연구에서는 박막 증착율이 높고, 제작과정의 조정이 용이한 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 이용하여 glass 기판 위에 AZO 박막을 성장하고, $N_2$ 분위기에서 다양한 온도 조건에서 열처리(rapid thermal annealing, RTA)하여 전기 및 광학적 특성에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 이후에 기존의 성장방법과 달리 고가의 진공 장비를 사용하지 않고, 저온에서도 간단한 구조의 장비를 이용하여 균일한 나노구조를 성장시킬 수 있는 전기화학증착법(electrochemical deposition)으로 AZO 박막위에 ZnO 나노로드를 다양한 성장조건에 따라 성장시켜 광학적 특성을 비교 분석하였다.

Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films have been intensively utilized in the electric applications, such as, displays, lightings and solar cells due to the good electric conductivity with an excellent transmittance of the visible light. We, herein present an excellent Al-doped ZnO film (AZO), which has been fabricated by co-sputtering method. An as-deposited AZO film had an optical transmittance of 84.78% at 550 nm and a resistivity of $7.8{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$. A rapid annealing process significantly improved the optical transmittance and electrical resistivity of the AZO film to 99.67% and $1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$, respectively. The fabricated AZO film was fabricated for a metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure. The AZO film-embedding MSM device was highly responsive to a UV light.

Photoelectrochemical properties of p-GaAs electrode have been investigated. I-V characteristic shows that the cathodic photocurrent is observed at -0.7 V vs. SCE. The photoresponse at near 870~880nm wavelength indicates that the photogenerated carriers contibuted to the observed current. The maximum converson efficiency of 35% is obtained for a Xe lamp light source at 400nm. In C-V relation, capacitance peaks appeared at the frequencies of 100Hz and 300Hz due to the activation of the interfacial states which exist at the energy level corresponding to the one-third of the GaAs band gap. The difference of about 1.1V between flatband potential (Vfb) from the Mott-Schottky method and onset voltage from I-V curve is observed due to the trap of carriers at the interfacial states in the boundary between GaAs and electrolyte. In case of WO3 deposited p-GaAs electrode, higher positive onset current and photocurent density are obtained. This can be explained by the fact that carriers are generated by light penetrated into the WO3 thin flm as well as p-GaAs substrate and then move into the electrolyte effectively.

Thin film has been an increasing important subject of intensive research, owing to the fact that these films possess desirable optical, electrical and electrochemical properties for uses in many semi-conducting nano-crystal applications, such as light-emitting diodes, lasers and solar cell applications. Here, ZnSe thin films were deposited by electrochemical method for the applications of light emitting diode. Electrochemical deposition of ZnSe thin film is not easy, because of the high difference of reduction potential between zinc ion and selenium acid. In order to handle the band gap of ZnSe crystal thin films easily, electrochemical methods are promising to manufacture these films economically. Therefore we have investigated the present study to characterize zinc selenide thin films deposited on ITO glass plates electrochemically. The luminescent properties of ZnSe films have been evaluated by UV-Vis spectrometer and luminescence spectrometer. And the morphology of the film surface has been discussed qualitatively from SEM images.

We report on the photoelectrochemical properties of partially reduced mesoporous titania thin films. The fabrication is achieved by synthesizing mesoporous titania thin films through the self-assembly of a titania precursor and a block copolymer, followed by aging and calcination, and heat-treatment under a $H_2$ (1 torr) environment. Depending on the temperature used for the reaction with $H_2$, the degree of the reduction (generation of oxygen vacancies) of the titania is controlled. The oxygen vacancies induce visible light absorption, and decrease of resistance while the mesoporosity is practically unaltered. The photoelectrochemical activity data on these films, by measuring their photocurrent-potential behavior in 1 M NaOH electrolyte under AM 1.5G 100 mW $cm^{-2}$ illumination, show that the three effects of the oxygen vacancies contribute to the enhancement of the photoelectrochemical properties of the mesoporous titania thin films. The results show that these oxygen deficient $TiO_2$ mesoporous thin films hold great promise for a solar hydrogen generation. Suggestions for the materials design for improved photoelectrochemical properties are made.

Natural photosynthesis utilizes two proteins, photosystem I and photosystem II, to efficiently oxidize water and reduce NADP+ to NADPH. Artificial photosynthesis which mimics this process achieve water splitting through a two-step Z-schematic water splitting process using man-made synthetic materials for hydrogen fuel production. In this study, Z-scheme system was achieved from the hybrid materials which composed of hydrogen production part as photosystem I protein and water oxidizing part as semiconductor BiVO4. Utilizing photosystem I as the hydrogen evolving part overcomes the problems of existing hydrogen evolving p-type semiconductors such as water instability, expensive cost, few available choices and poor red light (>600 nm) absorbance. Some problems of photosystem II, oxygen evolving part of natural photosynthesis, such as demanding isolation process and D1 photo-damage can also be solved by utilizing BiVO4 as the oxygen evolving part. Preceding research has not suggested any protein-inorganic-hybrid Z-scheme composed of both materials from natural photosynthesis and artificial photosynthesis. In this study, to realize this Z-schematic electron transfer, diffusion step of electron carrier, which usually degrades natural photosynthesis efficiency, was eliminated. Instead, BiVO4 and Pt-photosystem I were all linked together by the mediator gold. Synthesized all-solid-state hybrid materials show enhanced hydrogen evolution ability directly from water when illuminated with visible light.

Recently micro-nano structures has widely been reported to improve the performance of waterproof, heat isolation, sound and light absorption in various fields of electric devices such as mobiles, battery, display and solar panels. A lot of micro-sized holes on the surface of thin film provide excellent sound, or heat, or light transmission efficiency more than solid film and simultaneously nano-sized protrusions around micro hole increase the hydrophobicity of the surface of thin film because of lotus leaf effects as generally known previously. In this paper new rapid fabrication process with 355 nm UV laser ablation was proposed to get micro-nano structures on the surface of thin film, which have only been observed at higher laser fluence. Developed thin micro-nano structured film was also investigated the hydrophobic property by measuring the contact angle and demonstrated the possibility to apply to water droplet separation.

Carrier diffusion length in the light-sensitive material is one of the key elements in improving the light-current conversion efficiency of solar-cell devices. In this paper, we measured the carrier diffusion length in lead-halide perovskite ($MAPbI_3$) and mixed lead-halide ($MAPbI_{3-x}Cl_x$) perovskite devices using scanning photocurrent microscopy (SPCM). The SPCM signal decreased as we moved the focused laser spot away from the metal contact. By fitting the data with a simple exponential curve, we extracted the carrier diffusion length of each perovskite film. Importantly, the diffusion length of the mixed-halide perovskite was higher than that of the halide perovskite film by a factor of 3 to 6; this is consistent with the general expectation that the carrier mobility will be higher in the case of the mixed lead-halide perovskites. Finally, the diffusion length was investigated as a function of applied bias for both samples, and analyzed successfully in terms of the drift-diffusion model.
