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.

Excellent electron transport properties with enhanced light scattering ability for light harvesting have made well-ordered one dimensional $TiO_2$ nanotube(TNT) arrays an alternative candidate over $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in the area of solar energy conversion applications. The principal drawback of TNT arrays being activated only by UV light has been addressed by coupling the TNT with secondary materials which are visible light-triggered. As well as extending the absorption region of sunlight, the introduction of these foreign components is also found to influence the charge separation and electron lifetime of TNT. In this study, a novel method to fabricate the TNT-based composite photoelectrodes employing visible responsive $CuInS_2$ (CIS) nanoparticles is presented. The developed method is a square wave pulse-assisted electrochemical deposition approach to wrap the inner and outer walls of a TNT array with CIS nanoparticles. Instead of coating as a dense compact layer of CIS by a conventional non-pulsed-electrochemical deposition method, the nanoparticles pack relatively loosely to form a rough surface which increases the surface area of the composite and results in a higher degree of light scattering within the tubular channels and hence a greater chance of absorption. The excellence coverage of CIS on the tubular $TiO_2$ allows the construction of an effective heterojunction that exhibits enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.

과산화수소를 이용한 펜톤(Fenton)산화법은 수처리 및 토양 복원분야에서 활용되는 친환경 산화방법이다. 이 방법으로 오염물질을 제거할 때, 오염물의 농도에 따라 과산화수소의 농도를 적절하게 조절하는 것이 상당히 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 HRP (horseradish peroxidase) 효소를 이용한 전기화학적 바이오센서를 제조하고 효소의 활성과 과산화수소의 검출 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. SPCE (Screen Printed Carbon Electrode)의 작업 전극 표면에 키토산과 AuNP를 이용하여 HRP를 전착하였다. 이 후, 전위주사법(CV)과 전기화학적 임피던스 분광법(EIS)을 이용하여 효소의 고정화를 확인하였다. 또한 시간대전류법(CA)과 UV 분광법으로부터 HRP 효소의 활성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 제조한 바이오센서를 PBS 전해질에 담그고 과산화수소를 적정하여 CA 분석으로부터 전극에서 발생하는 전류를 측정하였다. 발생 전류는 과산화수소의 농도에 대하여 선형적으로 증가하였으며, 전류로부터 과산화수소의 농도를 예측할 수 있는 검정곡선을 도출하였다.

전해코팅 법과 dip-coating 법을 이용해 산화주석(IV)을 티타늄 지지체에 코팅하여, 코팅 방법에 따른 코팅 전극의 물성과 전기화학적 특성에 대해여 연구하였다. HCl 로 전극 에칭 후, nitrate 용액에 $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$을 용해시켜 pulse technique를 이용하여 전해코팅 하였으며, dip-coating 법 또한 $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$를 사용하여 1:1V% HCl 용액에 용해시켜 코팅 소결 후 산화주석(IV)코팅 전극을 제작하였다. 두 가지 코팅 방법을 통해 제작된 산화주석(IV)코팅 전극은 전극의 물성을 비교하기 위해 x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning election microscopy (SEM)를 관찰해보았고, 전기화학적 특성을 평가하기 위해 cyclic voltammetry (CV)를 측정하여 전위창을 비교해 보았다.

Embedded sensors were used as an in-situcorrosion-sensing device for aircraft and vehicular structures protected by organic coatings. Results are presented changes associated with a standard Airforce aircraft coating and a standard Army vehicle coating were monitored by embedded sensors. These coatings consisted of a polyurethane topcoat and an epoxy primer, however are formulated to provide different characteristics. The ac-dc-ac testing method was used to accelerate the degradation of these coatings while being immersed in a NaCl medium. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical noise measurement experiments were used to monitor the induced changes. A comparison of the results between coatings subjected to the ac-dc-ac exposure and coatings subjected to only constant immersion in the NaCl medium is presented. The results were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ac-dc-ac method at accelerating the degradation of an organic coating without observably changing the normal mechanism of degradation. The data highlights the different features of the coating systems and tracks them while the coating is being degraded. The aircraft coating was characterized by a high-resistant topcoat that can mask corrosion/primer degradation at the primer/substrate interface whereas the vehicle coating was characterized by a low-resistant topcoat with an effective corrosion inhibiting primer. Details of the ac-dc-ac degradation were evaluated by using an equivalent circuit to help interpret the electrochemical impedance data.

In recent years, supercapacitors have been developed rapidly as a rechargeable energy storage device. And the performance of supercapacitors is depending on electrode materials, the preparation method and performance of electrode materials have become the primary goal of scientific development.

Various steps in the electrode production process, such as slurry mixing, slurry coating, drying, and calendaring, directly affect the quality and, consequently, mechanical properties and electrochemical performance of electrodes. Herein, a new method of slurry coating is developed: Double-coated electrode. Contrary to single-coated electrode, the cathode is prepared by double coating, wherein each coat is of half the total loading mass of the single-coated electrode. Each coat is dried and calendared. It is found that the double-coated electrode possesses more uniform pore distribution and higher electrode density and allows lesser extent of particle segregation than the single-coated electrode. Consequently, the double-coated electrode exhibits higher adhesion strength (74.7 N m^-1) than the single-coated electrode (57.8 N m^-1). Moreover, the double-coated electrode exhibits lower electric resistance (0.152 Ω cm^-2) than the single-coated electrode (0.177 Ω cm^-2). Compared to the single-coated electrode, the double-coated electrode displays higher electrochemical performance by exhibiting better rate capability, especially at higher C rates, and higher long-term cycling performance. Despite its simplicity, the proposed method allows effective electrode preparation by facilitating high electrochemical performance and is applicable for the large-scale production of high-energy-density electrodes.
