The preparation conditions of $YBO_3$:Eu phosphor particles having the maximum photoluminescence intensity under vacuum ultraviolet in the spray pyrolysis were optimized. The $YBO_3$:Eu phosphor particles prepared from spray solution with stoichiometric amount of boric acid had the maximum photoluminescence intensity. The $YBO_3$:Eu phosphor particles with pure phases were formed at low post-treatment temperatures because of fast reaction of yttrium and boron components without volatilization of boron component. The prepared $YBO_3$:Eu phosphor particles by spray pyrolysis had fine size, narrow size distribution and regular morphology. The photoluminescence intensity of the prepared $YBO_3$:Eu phosphor particles under vacuum ultraviolet was 103% of the commercial $(Y,Gd)BO_3$:Eu phosphor particles.

Green-light emitting $BaMgAl_{10}O_{19}:Mn^{2+}$ (BAM:Mn) phosphor particles were prepared by spray Pyrolysis. The effect of reactor temperature and flow rate of carrier gas in the spray Pyrolysis on the morphology, crystallinity and photoluminescence characteristics under vacuum ultraviolet were investigated. The morphology of the as-Prepared Particles obtained by spray Pyrolysis had spherical shape and non-aggregation characteristics regardless of the reactor temperature. The spherical shape of the as-prepared Particles obtained by spray pyrolysis at low temperature disappeared after Post-treatment. On the other hand the as-Prepared Particles obtained by spray Pyrolysis at $1600^{\circ}C$ maintained spherical shape and non-aggregation characteristics after post-treatment at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 3 h under reducing atmosphere. The BAM:Mn Phosphor Particles Prepared by spray Pyrolysis at different reactor temperatures had pure crystal structure and high photoluminescence intensities under vacuum ultraviolet after post-treatment. BAM:Mn phosphor particles prepared by spray Pyrolysis at low How rate of carrier gas had complete spherical shape and filed morphology and high photoluminescence intensity after post-treatment under reducing atmosphere.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of a vacuum pyrolysis system, to analyze bio-oil characteristics, and to examine the applicability for farm-scale capacity. Methods: The biomass was pyrolyzed at 450, 480, and $490^{\circ}C$ on an electric heat plate in a vacuum reactor. The waste heat from the heat exchanger of the reactor was recycled to evaporate water from the bio-oil. The chemical composition of the bio-oil was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results: According to the analysis, the moisture content (MC) in the bio-oil was approximately 9%, the high heating value (HHV) was approximately 26 MJ/kg, and 29 compounds were identified. These 29 compounds consisted of six series of carbohydrates, 17 series of lignins, and six series of resins. Conclusions: Owing to low water content and the oxygen content, the HHV of the bio-oil produced from the vacuum reactor was higher by about 6 MJ/kg than that of the bio-oil produced from a fluidized bed reactor.

Spray pyrolysis was applied to prepare $M_{3}MgSi_{2}O_{8}:Eu^{2+}$ (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) blue phosphor powder. The library of a Ca-Sr-Ba ternary system was obtained by a combinatorial method combined with the spray pyrolysis in order to optimize the luminescent property under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation. 10 potential compositions were chosen from the first screening. The emission shifted to longer wavelength as Ca became a dominant element and the emission intensity was greatly reduced in the composition region at which Ba is dominant element. On the base of the first screening result, the second fine tuning was carried out in order to optimize the luminescence intensity under VUV excitation. The optimal composition for the highest luminescence intensity was $(Ca_{1.7},\;Sr_{0.3},\;Ba_{1.0})Si_{2}O_{8}:Eu^{2+}$ which had the color coordinate of (0.152, 0.072) and about 64% emission intensity of $BaMgAl_{10}O_{17}$ (BAM) phosphor.

We fabricated the effective $Cu_2S$/CdS solar cells with large area by a spray pyrolysis method. In preparation process, we investigated the process parameters which directly influenced the efficiency of solar cell, such as the grid contact for electrodes, the temperature condition of CdS spray and the junction characteristics of $Cu_2S$ layer, by scanning electron microscope(SEM), x-ray diffraction(XRD) and temperature dependent optical absorption and photoconductivity. The $Cu_2S$/CdS solar cell with area of 1$\textrm{cm}^2$ showed the efficient of 3.15% under air mass 2(AM2) spectrum irradiation with 75mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

Field-effect transistors based on solution-processed metal oxide semiconductors has attracted huge attention due to their intrinsic characteristics of optical and electrical characteristics with benefits of simple and low-cost process. Especially, spray-pyrolysis has shown excellent device performance which compatible to vacuum-processed Field-effect transistors. However, the high annealing temperature for crystallization of MOS and narrow range of precursors has impeded the progress of the technology. Here, we demonstrated the nc-ZnO/ZnO films performed by spray-pyrolysis with incorporating ZnO nanoparticles into typical ZnO precursor. The films exhibit preserving morphological properties of poly-crystalline ZnO and enhanced electrical characteristics with potential for low-temperature processability. The influence of nanoparticles within the film was also researched for realizing ZnO films providing good quality of performance.

Ion beam Sputtering (IBS)를 이용한 물질 표면의 pattern 형성은 물리적 변수 조절로 손쉽게 nano structure의 크기와 형태를 조절할 수 있어 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구발표에서는 massless Dirac Fermion behavior로 인한 highly carrier mobility와 같은 특성으로 인해 차세대 device material로 각광받고 있는 Graphene의 layered compound (층상구조) 형태인 HOPG (Highly Ordered Pyrolysis Graphite)에 IBS (Ion beam Sputtering)를 이용해 nano structure가 형성 가능함을 보이고 그 특징에 대해 소개하려 한다. HOPG(0001)를 Sputter 했을 때, 표면에 잘 정렬된 nano ripple pattern이 형성 가능함을 확인하였으며 sputter하는 시간을 변화하면 약 10 nm에서 80 nm까지 wavelength를 조절할 수 있다. 또한 이전의 IBS를 이용한 연구들에서 확인할 수 있는 다른 물질의 곧게 뻗은 nano ripple과는 다르게 ripple의 끝에 nano swab이 생기는 것을 AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)으로 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 Graphite에서만 나타나는 Sputter에 의한 표면의 변화의 원인을 규명하고자 Sputter가 지속됨에 따라 나타나는 mopology의 roughness와 wavelength의 시간에 따른 dynamic scaling behavior를 확인하였고 그 얼개를 알기 위해 simulation을 수행 하였다.

$Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ phosphor particles were prepared by a flame spray pyrolysis method. It has been generally known that the high-temperature flame enables fast drying and decomposition of droplets. In the present investigation, the morphology and luminescent property of $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ phosphor were controlled in a severe flame preparation condition. The particle formation in the flame spray pyrolysis process was achieved by the droplet-to-particle conversion without any evaporation of precursors, which made it possible to obtain spherical $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ particles of a pure phase from a droplet. Using colloidal solutions wherein dispersed nano-sized silica particles were adopted as a silicon precursor. $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ particles with spherical shape and filled morphology were prepared and the spherical morphology was maintained even after the high-temperature heat treatment, which is necessary to increase the photoluminescence intensity. The $Zn_{2}SiO_{4}:Mn$ particles with spherical shape, which were prepared by the flame spray pyrolysis and posttreated at $1150^{\circ}C$, showed good luminescent characteristics under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation.

Globally, the amount of waste plastics has been occurring to environmental problems. As a result, it is necessary to research methods that utilize waste plastic pyrolysis oil (WPPO) produced by pyrolysis. One such method being studied is utilizing WPPO as a naphtha feedstock. In this study, five types of WPPO were analyzed to determine whether they can be used as raw materials for naphtha. Because of their wide boiling point range, the WPPOs were fractionated into light and heavy fractions through vacuum distillation, and the separation and purification techniques were analyzed using GC-VUV to determine the content of paraffin, olefin, and other compounds. All WPPOs showed high olefin content regardless of the source and fraction. Aromatic and paraffin content varied depending on the source, and oxygen and other compounds also varied significantly by source and fraction. In addition, the light fraction showed a carbon distribution similar to that of naphtha, whereas the heavy fraction showed a carbon distribution of C₁₁ ~ C₁₄. In conclusion, additional processes and raw material selection are required to utilize waste plastic pyrolysis oil as a raw material for naphtha.
