해양 환경에서 용존 미량금속 원소 중 하나인 아연(Zn)은 식물플랑크톤의 성장에 필수적인 미량영양염으로 알려져 있다. 외양 표층에서 대부분의 용존 아연은 용존 유기배위자와 강하게 결합하여 아연-유기착화합물을 형성하게 되고 이로 인해 생물 가용한 자유이온 형태의 아연(Zn²⁺)의 농도는 총 아연 농도의 5% 이내로 존재하게 된다. 이 논문에서는 아연의 화학적 존재 형태에 대한 개념과 측정 방법에 대해 간단히 소개하고, 주요 연구 사례를 통하여 미량금속의 화학 종조성이 해양 생지화학에 미치는 영향 및 의미, 아연-유기착화합물이 아연의 생물가용성에 미치는 영향, 아연과 결합하여 유기착화합물을 형성하는 용존 유기배위자의 기원에 대해 기술하였다.

Two new polymeric complexes, [Zn(dpa)(pyz)_0.5]_n (1; dpa = diphenate and pyz = pyrazine) and [Mn₃(bpdc)₃(py)₄]_n (2; bpdc = biphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylate and py = pyridine) were successfully isolated by the hydro- and solvo-thermal technique, respectively. The complexes were characterized by elemental and thermal analysis, vibrational IR spectroscopy, and by single crystal x-ray structure determination. For 2, magnetic property was also investigated. Complex 1 is a two-dimensional layer structure consisting of a paddle-wheel building unit of Zn-dpa chains bridged by pyrazine. While, complex 2 consists of linear trimeric Mn3 cluster as building unit to form 3D network. In the complexes, dpa²⁻ (1) and bpdc²⁻(2) ligands show a typical bis-monodendate bridging and two kinds of bridging modes; a typical bridging and chelating/bridging mode, respectively.

Zn_xMn_3-xO₄ (0.95≤x≤1.20) specimens were prepared using a conventional solid state reaction method. All specimens were sintered in air at 1,200℃ for 12 h, cooled at a rate of 2℃/min to 800℃, and subsequently quenched to room temperature. We investigated the electrical properties of Zn_xMn_3-xO₄ specimens with various amounts of ZnO for use as IR detectors. At a composition of x≥1.15, the ZnO phase precipitates beside the spinel structure. The electrical resistivity at room temperature, activation energy, responsivity, and detectivity of a Zn_1.10Mn_1.90O₄ specimen are 653.2 kΩ-cm, 0.392 eV, 0.016 V/W, and 7.52×10³ cmHz^1/2/W, respectively.

본 연구는 최적화된 전기발광 성능을 가진 양자점 전계 발광 다이오드 소자를 제작하기 위해 RF sputtering 기법으로 Zn_0.85Mg_0.15O 박막을 전자수송층으로 적용하였다. 일반적으로 양자점 전계 발광 다이오드에서 ZnO 나노입자는 적절한 에너지 준위를 가지고 있어 전자 이동도가 빠르고 용액 처리가 용이하다는 장점으로 전자 수송층으로 널리 사용되는 재료이다. 그러나, 용액형 ZnO 나노입자의 불안정성 문제는 아직 해결되지 않고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 ZnO에 15 % Mg을 도핑한 ZnMgO 박막을 RF sputtering법으로 제작하고 전자수송층으로 적용한 소자를 최적화하였다. 최적화된 ZnMgO 박막을 이용한 소자는 최대 휘도 15,972 cd/m², 전류효율 7.9 cd/A를 보였다.

We report the precipitation of ZnO nanocrystals, Ag-clusters, and Ag nanoparticles in Ag/Er/Yb doped borate glasses by furnace annealing and $CO_2$ laser annealing. The XRD analysis revealed the precipitation of ZnO and Ag phases. The absorption spectra, the TEM and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) revealed the incorporation of Er and Yb ions into ZnO nanocrystals formed by a laser technique and showed the surface plasmon band of Ag nanoparticles. The down-converted blue emission intensity of $Er^{3+}$ ions obtained under 365 nm excitation was enhanced by more than a hundred times in the glass treated by furnace annealing, mainly due to the energy transfer from Ag-clusters. Moreover, we discussed the contribution of Ag nanoparticles and defects to emission characteristics in the glasses treated by two annealing techniques. Up-conversion emissions of the $Er^{3+}$ ions under 980 nm excitation were enhanced due to the incorporation of $Er^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ ions into ZnO nanocrystals after thermal treatments.

[ $Zn_{2(1-x)}Mn_xSiO_4$ ]$0.07{\leq}x{\leq}0.15$) green phosphor was prepared by solid state reaction. The first heating was at $900^{\circ}C-1250^{\circ}C$ in air for 3 hours and the second heating was at $900^{\circ}C$ in $N_2/H_2$(95%/5%) for 2 hours. The size effect of $SiO_2$ in forming $Zn_2SiO_4$ was investigated. The temperature for obtaining single phase $Zn_2SiO_4$ was lowered from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$ by decreasing the $SiO_2$ particle size from micro size to submicro size. The effect of the activators for the Photoluminescence (PL) intensity of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ was also investigated. The PL intensity properties of the phosphors were investigated under vacuum ultraviolet excitation (147 nm). The emission spectrum peak was between 520 nm and 530 nm, which was involved in green emission area. $MnCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, the activator source, was more effective in providing high emission intensity than $MnCO_3$. The optimum conditions for the best optical properties of $Zn_2SiO_4:Mn^{2+}$ were at x = 0.11 and $1100^{\circ}C$. In these conditions, the phosphor particle shape was well dispersed spherical and its size was 200 nm.

Background: Surface soil radiation monitoring around nuclear facilities is important to classify and characterize the contaminated areas. A scanning and direct measurement technique can survey the sites rapidly before starting sampling analysis. Materials and Methods: Regarding this, we test and suggest a measurement technique for gross alpha/beta and ⁹⁰Sr activities in surface soil based on a mobile ZnS(Ag)/PVT (polyvinyltoluene) array and a handheld PVT rod, respectively. To detect ⁹⁰Sr selectively in soil mixed with naturally occurring radioactive materials, chosen energy channel counts from the multichannel analyzers were used instead of whole channel counts. Soil samples contaminated with exempt liquid ⁹⁰Sr with 1 Bq·g^-1, 3 Bq·g^-1, and 10 Bq·g^-1 were prepared and hardened by flocculation. Results and Discussion: The mobile ZnS(Ag)/PVT array could discriminate gross alpha, gross beta, and gamma radiation by the different pulse-shaped signal features of each sensor material. If the array is deployed on a vehicle, the scan minimum detectable concentration (MDC) range will be about 0.11-0.17 Bq·g^-1 at 18 km·h^-1 speed, highly sensitive to actual sites. The handheld PVT rod with 12 mm (Φ) × 20 mm (H) size can directly measure ⁹⁰Sr selectively if channels on which energies are from 1,470 and 2,279 keV are gated, minimizing crossdetection of other radionuclides. These methods were verified by measuring soil samples fabricated with homogeneous ⁹⁰Sr concentrations, showing static MDC of 2.16 Bq·g^-1 at a measurement time of 300 seconds. Conclusion: Based on the results, comprehensive procedures using these detectors are suggested to optimize soil sites survey.

By calcining at $750^{\circ}C$ for 30 h in $O_2$ stream after milling, $LiNi_{1-y}M_yO_2(M=Zn^{2+},\;Al^{3+}$, and $Ti^{4+}$, y = 0.005, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1) were synthesized and their electrochemical properties were investigated. All the samples had R3m structure. $LiNi_{1-y}Zn_yO_2$ (y = 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1) contained ZnO anuor $Li_2ZnO_2$ as impurities. Among the samples substituted with the same element, the samples with relatively large value of $I_{003}/I_{104}$ and the smallest R-factor had the largest first discharge capacity and good cycling performance. $LiNi_{0.975}A1_{0.025}O_2$ had the largest first discharge capacity (172.5 mAh/g) and good cycling performance (about $89.4\%$ of the first discharge capacity at the 20th cycle). This sample had the largest value of $I_{003}/I_{104}$ and the smallest R-factor among all the samples. In addition, the particles of this sample were finer and their size was more homogeneous than the other samples. $LiNi_{0.95}A1_{0.05}O_2$ had relatively large first discharge capacity 150.4 mAh/g and good cycling performance.

자몽씨추출물(GSE)과 ZnONP을 아가필름에 동시에 첨가하여 다기능성 복합필름을제조하였다. Agar/GSE/ZnONP복합필름은 특히 자외선차단성과 항균성에 대한 시너지 효과를 나타냈다. 광 차단성은 자외선 파장범위인 280 nm와 가시광선 파장범위인 660 nm에서 유의적인 차이를 보이며 크게 나타났다. 자외선차단성은 agar/GSE와 agar/ZnONP 필름에 비해 agar/ZnONP^3%/GSE^5% 필름에서의 크게 상승하여 GSE와 ZnONP의 시너지 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 항균성으로는 그람양성균인 L. monocytogenes와 그람음성균인 E. coli O157: H7 모두 agar/ZnONP^3%/GSE^5% 필름에서 강한 항균성 및 시너지 효과가 있었다. 자외선 차단성과 항균성은 포장식품의 안전성을 확보하고 유통기한을 연장시키는데 필수적인 특성으로 agar/ZnONP3%/GSE5% 필름은 식품의 유통기한 연장과 식품의 안전성을 위한 포장필름으로 활용 가치가 높을 것으로 사료된다.

Electrochemical properties of LiMn₂O₄ cathode were investigated in three types of Zn-containing electrolytes: lithium-zinc sulfate electrolyte (1M ZnSO₄ / 2M Li₂SO₄), zinc sulfate electrolyte (2MZnSO₄) and lithium-zinc-manganese sulfate electrolyte (1MZnSO₄ / 2MLi₂SO₄ / 0.1MMnSO₄). Cyclic voltammetry measurements demonstrated that LiMn₂O₄ is electrochemically inactive in pure ZnSO₄ electrolyte after initial oxidation. The effect of manganese (II) additive in the zinc-manganese sulfate electrolyte on the electrochemical performance was analyzed. The initial capacity of LiMn₂O₄ is higher in presence of MnSO₄ (140 mAh g^-1 in 1 M ZnSO₄ / 2 M Li₂SO₄ / 0.1 M MnSO₄ and 120 mAh g^-1 in 1 M ZnSO₄ / 2MLi₂SO₄). The capacity increase can be explained by the electrodeposition of MnO_x layer on the electrode surface. Structural characterization of postmortem electrodes with use of XRD and EDX analysis confirmed that partially formed in pure ZnSO₄ electrolyte Zn-containing phase leads to fast capacity fading which is probably related to blocked electroactive sites.
