  • $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$(CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 Chalcopyrite계 박막 태양전지로 Cu, In, Ga, Se 각 원소의 조성을 적절히 조절하여 박막을 성장시킨다. 성장시킨 CIGS 박막은 광흡수계수가 105cm-1로 다른 물질 보다 뛰어나고 직접 천이형 반도체로서 얇은 두께로도 고효율의 박막 제작이 가능하다. 얇은 두께로도 충분히 빛의 흡수가 가능하지만, cell 표면 반사에 의한 광 손실은 cell 효율을 떨어뜨리게 된다. 본 연구에서는 CIGS 박막 태양전지의 광 흡수 향상을 위해 굴절률이 1.86인 ITO 위에 ITO보다 굴절률이 작은 $MgF_2$ (n=1.377) [1]를 80, 100, 120, 140 nm로 증착하여 $MgF_2$/Al/Ni/ITO/i-ZnO/CdS/CIGS/Mo/SLG 시료를 제작하고, optical reflectance, Quantum Efficiency를 이용하여 분석하였다. optical reflectance 분석 결과, $MgF_2$ AR coating을 한 경우, 두께가 두꺼워짐에 따라 광 반사도가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 AR coating 두께가 커짐에 따라 fluctuation이 점점 커지며, 파형이 장파장 쪽으로 shift하는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다. Quantum efficiency (QE)를 분석한 결과 $MgF_2$ AR coating 할 경우, 측정된 대부분의 파장에서 QE가 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 AR coating 두께에 따른 변화는 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. AR coating 결과, JSC가 증가하여 efficiency가 향상되는 것을 확인 할 수 있다. 그러나 $MgF_2$ AR coating 80~140 nm 범위에서 cell 효율 변화의 뚜렷한 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다.

  • Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 일반적으로 Soda lime glass/Mo/CIGS/CdS/ZnO/ITO/Al의 구조로 제작된다. 태양전지는 p형과 n형 반도체의 접합에 의해서 동작을 하게 되며, CIGS 박막 태양전지에서는 p형으로 CIGS 박막과 n형으로 CdS 박막이 사용된다. CIGS 박막태양전지에서는 p형과 n형이 서로 다른 물질로 이루어진 이종접합을 이루게 되고, 계면에서의 밴드가 어떻게 형성이 되느냐에 따라 태양전지 성능에 영향을 미치게 된다. p형의 CIGS 박막은 주로 다단계 증발법에 의해 형성되고 3단계 공정조건에 의해 계면의 특성에 많은 영향을 미치게 된다. n형의 CdS 박막은 주로 chemical bath deposition (CBD) 법에 의해 제작된다. 이렇게 제작되는 CBD-CdS는 시약의 농도, pH (수소이온농도), 박막 형성시의 온도 등의 조건에 따라 특성이 변하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 3단계 공정시간을 변화시켜 제작된 CIGS 박막 위에 CBD-CdS 증착 조건 중 thiourea 의 농도를 변화시켜 CIGS 태양전지를 제작하고 그에 따른 특성을 살펴보았다. CIGS 박막은 3단계 공정시간을 490초와 360초로 하여 제작하였고, CdS 박막은 thiourea 농도를 각각 0.025 M과 0.05 M, 0.074 M, 0.1 M로 변화시켜가며 제작하였다. 제작된 CIGS 박막 태양전지는 CIGS 3단계 공정시간과 thiourea의 조건에 따라 최고 15.81%, 최저 14.13%로 나타내었다. 또한, 외부양자효율을 측정하여 제작된 CIGS 박막 태양전지의 파장에 따른 특성을 비교하였다.

  • 울진 연.아연 광사의 Ca석류석은 결정화학적 성질의 차이에 따라 색, 경도, 비중과 같은 물리적 특성이 달라진다. 가기 다른 색을 보여주는 네가지의 석류석에 대하여 전자현미분석, X-선 회절분석, 뫼스바우어 및 적외선 분광분석등을 실시하여 화학적, 구조적 및 결정화학적 특징을 연구하였으며 광학적 및 물리적 특성도 연구되었다. 화학분석에 의하면 Fe 함량이 0.35에서 1.92%로 증가함에 따라 석류석의 색이 연분홍, 황록색, 적갈색 및 암갈색의 순으로 변한다. 이러한 Al에 대한 Fe의 치환은 단위포의 크기에도 영향을 미쳐 11.91$\AA$에서 12.06$\AA$으로 단위포의 크기가 증가한다. 뫼스바우어 계수에 따르면 Fe치환에 따른 Y-O 거리의 증가로 $\delta$값이 0.372에서 0.389mm/sec로 일정하게 증가한다. 또한 능을 고유하며 이웃하는 X십이면체에 영향을 주어 내부대칭도를 떨어뜨리게 된다. 이러한 현상은 적외선 스펙트럼의 360~300cm-1의 영역에서 그로슐라에는 관찰되지 않는 수개의 흡수선이 안드라다이트에서는 관찰된다. 한편 소량의 Fe2+가 그로슐라에서만 관찰됨을 미루어 석류석의 생성이 용역내으 낮은 산소분압에 영향을 받았을 것으로 추측된다.

  • The single-step process for conversion of syngas to DME give higher conversion than the syngas-to-methanol process. This arises because of a synergy among the three simultaneous reaction, methanol synthesis, methanol dehydration and water gas shift reaction, in the process. we would find the optimal condition of the process which these advantages. The optimal condition of DME synthesis reaction over a commercial $Cu/Zn/Al_2O_3$ catalyst and Hybrid catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. The syngas-to-dimethyl ether conversion was examined on various reaction condition (Temperature 473~553K, $H_2/CO$ ratio 1~3, Pressure 30'50atm, GHSV 1000~4000).

  • Atmospheric corrosion is clearly the most noticeable of all corrosion processes. A tremendous amount of economic losses are caused by atmospheric corrosion. Thus, it is imperative to know the level of atmosphere's aggressiveness or in other words "corrosivity", before designing or planning any corrosion prevention strategy. In Singapore, corrosivity values were not recorded earlier though the process of measurement and recording was prevalent in other countries. With an aim of filling this gap, three test sites were setup at three locations in Singapore to represent marine, industrial and urban atmospheres or their mixtures. Subsequently, corrosivity readings were measured and recorded according to ISO 9223:2012 for the first time in Singapore. Salient atmospheric constituents or parameters like time of wetness (TOW), $Cl^-$, $SO_2$, $NO_2$, $O_3$, and $HNO_3$ were measured at all sites over a period of time to categorize corrosivity of particular atmosphere. The effect of the atmosphere on corrosion of steel, Cu, Al, and Zn has also been investigated and quantified. "Estimated" and "determined" corrosivities were quantified and compared according to ISO 9223 standard. The study data along with final corrosivity measurements will be presented and discussed in the present work.

  • The properties of Al doped ZnO (AZO) thin flim for solar cells with various input currents were studied in this paper. Using facing target sputtering with 2wt.% AZO targets, TCO films were deposited on glass(corning 2948) substrate at room temperature. AZO thin films were deposited by 0.2A, 0.4A, 0.6A and 0.8A at the thickness of 300nm. Electrical, optical and structural of thin films investigated by a Hall effect measurement (Ecopia), an UV-VIS spectrometer(HP) and a X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku). As a results, all thin films showed transmittance about 80%, respectively and resistivity was $7.67\times10^{-4}\Omega$-cm at 0.6A.

  • The characteristics of selective oxidation prior to hot-dip galvanizing with the annealing atmosphere dew point and chemical composition in dual-phase steels and their effect on the inhibition layer formation relevant to coating adhesion have been studied using a combination of electron microscopic and surface analytical techniques. The annealed and also galvanized samples of 3 kinds of Si/Mn ratios with varied amounts of Si addition were prepared by galvanizing simulator. The dew point was controlled at soaking temperature $800^{\circ}C$ in 15%$H_2$ -85%$N_2$ atmosphere. It was shown that good adhesion factors were mainly uniformity of oxide particle distribution of low number density and low Si/Mn ratio prior to hot-dip galvanizing. Their effect was the greatly reduced coating bare spots and the formation of uniform inhibition layer leading to good adhesion of Zn overlay. The mechanism of good adhesion is suggested by two processes: the formation of inhibition layer on the oxide free surface uncovered with no $SiO_2$-containing particles in particular, and the inhibition layer bridging of oxide particles. The growth of inhibition layer was enhanced markedly by the delayed reaction of Fe and Al with the increase of Si/Mn ratio.

  • A chromium-free Ce-based conversion coating formed by immersion in a solution containing cerium chloride and nitric acid on AZ31 magnesium alloy has been studied. The effects of acid pickling on the morphology and the corrosion resistance of the cerium conversion coating were investigated. The corrosion resistance of the conversion coating prepared on AZ31 Mg alloy after organic acid pickling was better than that of inorganic acid pickling. The morphology of the conversion-coated layer was observed using optical microscope and SEM. Results show that the conversion coatings are relatively uniform and continuous, with thickness 1.0 to $1.1{\mu}m$. The main elements of the conversion coating of AZ31 Mg alloy are Mg, O, Al, Ce and Zn by EDS analysis. The electrochemical polarization results showed that the Ce-based conversion coating could reduce the corrosion activity of the AZ31 Mg alloy substrates in the presence of chloride ions.

  • ICP-CVD(Inductively Coupled Plasma-Chemical Vapor Deposition)를 이용하여 플라즈마 처리에 따른 Al이 도핑된 ZnO(AZO) 박막의 표면 부착력과 굴절율, 표면거칠기에 관한 연구를 하였다. 플라즈마 처리는 인가전압, 시간을 변수로 하였고 반응 가스는 Ar을 사용하였다. 표면조성은 AFM, 광학적 특성은 UV-Vis 분광계를 이용한 광투과도 측정으로부터 굴절률과 밴드갭을 조사하였고 표면 부착력은 접촉각 분석기(제조사:Kruss)를 사용하여 조사하였다. 플라즈마 처리 시간이 길어짐에 따라 박막 표면의 거칠기가 커지고 부착력은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • A non-vacuum process for $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) thin film solar cells from nanoparticle precursors was described in this work CIGS nanoparticle precursors was prepared by a low temperature colloidal route by reacting the starting materials $(CuI,\;InI_3,\;GaI_3\;and\;Na_2Se)$ in organic solvents, by which fine CIGS nanoparticles of about 20nm in diameter were obtained. The nanoparticle precursors were mixed with organic binder material for the rheology of the mixture to be adjusted for the doctor blade method. After depositing the mixture of CIGS with binder on Mo/glass substrate, the samples were preheated on the hot plate in air to evaporate remaining solvents ud to burn the organic binder material. Subsequently, the resultant (porous) CIGS/Mo/glass simple was selenized in a two-zone Rapid Thermal Process (RTP) furnace in order to get a solar ceil applicable dense CIGS absorber layer. Complete solar cell structure was obtained by depositing. The other layers including CdS buffer layer, ZnO window layer and Al electrodes by conventional methods. The resultant solar cell showed a conversion efficiency of 0.5%.
