Sisal fiber, an agricultural resource abundantly available in china, has been used as raw material to prepare activated carbon with high surface area and huge pore volume by chemical activation with zinc chloride. The orthogonal test was designed to investigate the influence of zinc chloride concentration, impregnation ratio, activation temperature and activation time on preparation of activated carbon. Scanning electron micrograph, Thermo-gravimetric, $N_2$-adsorption isotherm, mathematical models such as t-plot, H-K equation, D-R equation and BJH methods were used to characterize the properties of the prepared carbons and the activation mechanism was discussed. The results showed that $ZnCl_2$ changed the pyrolysis process of sisal fiber. Characteristics of activated carbon are: BET surface area was $1628m^2/g$, total pore volume was $1.316m^3/g$ and ratio of mesopore volume to total pore volume up to 94.3%. These results suggest that sisal fiber is an attractive source to prepare mesoporous high-capacity activated carbon by chemical activation with zinc chloride.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) supports and amine additives were investigated to adsorb $CO_2$. PMMA supports were fabricated by using different ratio of pore forming agents (porogen) to control the BET specific surface area, pore volume and distribution. Toluene and xylene are used for porogens. Supported amine sorbents were prepared by wet impregnation of tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) on PMMA supports. So we could identify the effect of the pore structure of supports and the quantity of impregnated TEPA on the adsorption capacity. The increased amount of toluene as pore foaming agent resulted in the decreased average pore diameter and the increased BET surface area. Polymer supports with huge different pore distribution could be fabricated by controlling the ratio of porogen. After impregnation, the support with micropore structure is supposed the pore blocking and filling effect so that it has low $CO_2$ capacity and kinetics due to the difficulty of diffusing. Macropore structure indicates fast adsorption capacity and low influence of amine loading. In case of support with mesopore, it has high performance of adsorption capacity and kinetics. So high surface area and meso-/macro- pore structure is suitable for $CO_2$ capture.

스팀처리된 모더나이트인 $SM_{6.5}$와 $SM_{6.5}$를 불화수소산처리한 경우($FM_a$) 그리고 $SM_{6.5}$를 불화수소산처리후 다시 스팀처리한 경우($FM_b$)인 세 형태의 변형된 모더나이트를 제조하였다. 이들 시료의 특성을 연구하였으며 고정층 반응기에서 진공가스유의 촉매 분해반응을 실시하였다. 시료의 특성은 XRF와 XPS로 평균과 표면의 원소조성을 구하였고 XRD로 단위격자 상수를 측정하였다. 그리고 질소가스의 흡/탈착에 의해 세공성을 구하였고 피리딘흡착에 의한 IR에 의해 표면의 산성질을 측정하였다. 낮은 실리카/알루미나비를 가진 $SM_{6.5}$는 산량은 많지만 세공용적중 85% 정도가 미세공이었다. $SM_{6.5}$를 불화수소산처리한 경우는 $SM_{6.5}$에 비해 산량은 감소하였지만 세공성은 우수하였다. 이 불화수소산처리된 것을 더욱 많은 중세공의 형성을 위해 다시 스팀처리한 경우는 탈알루미늄에 의해 산량은 급격히 감소하지만 미세공이 중세공으로의 전환에 의해 중세공은 급격히 발달되었다. 이들 촉매상에서 큰 분자인 진공가스유의 분해반응에 의해 얻은 전화율과 가솔린, 등유+경유 그리고 옥탄가가 높은 가지달린 방향족 화합물의 수율은 산량은 크지만 미세공 구조인 $SM_{6.5}$ 보다는 이를 불화수소산처리한 경우가 산량은 감소하였지만 세공성이 우수하여 향상되었으며 $SM_{6.5}$를 불화수소산처리한 것을 다시 스팀처리한 경우가 중세공경의 발달로 더욱 우수하였다. 이로부터 모더나이트상에서 큰 분자인 진공가스유의 분해반응은 반응물질의 세공내로 확산의 한계 때문에 세공구조의 영향이 큼을 알 수 있었다.

The electrochemical etching of silicon in HF-based solutions is known to form various types of porous structures. Porous structures are generally classified into three categories according to pore sizes: micropore (below 2 nm in size), mesopore (2 ~ 50 nm), and macropore (above 50 nm). Recently, the formation of macropores has attracted increasing interest because of their promising characteristics for an wide scope of applications such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), chemical sensors, biotechnology, photonic crystals, and photovoltaic application. One of the promising applications of macropores is in the field of MEMS. Anisotropic etching is essential step for fabrication of MEMS. Conventional wet etching has advantages such as low processing cost and high throughput, but it is unsuitable to fabricate high-aspect-ratio structures with vertical sidewalls due to its inherent etching characteristics along certain crystal orientations. Reactive ion dry etching is another technique of anisotropic etching. This has excellent ability to fabricate high-aspect-ratio structures with vertical sidewalls and high accuracy. However, its high processing cost is one of the bottlenecks for widely successful commercialization of MEMS. In contrast, by using electrochemical etching method together with pre-patterning by lithographic step, regular macropore arrays with very high-aspect-ratio up to 250 can be obtained. The formed macropores have very smooth surface and side, unlike deep reactive ion etching where surfaces are damaged and wavy. Especially, to make vertical microwire or nanowire arrays (aspect ratio = over 1:100) on silicon wafer with top-down photolithography, it is very difficult to fabricate them with conventional dry etching. The electrochemical etching is the most proper candidate to do it. The pillar structures are demonstrated for n-type silicon and the formation mechanism is well explained, while such a experimental results are few for p-type silicon. In this report, In order to understand the roles played by the kinds of etching solution and mask patterns in the formation of microwire arrays, we have undertaken a systematic study of the solvent effects in mixtures of HF, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), iso-propanol, and mixtures of HF with water on the structure formation on monocrystalline p-type silicon with a resistivity with 10 ~ 20 $\Omega{\cdot}cm$. The different morphological results are presented according to mask patterns and etching solutions.

분무열분해 공정을 이용하여 규칙적인 메조기공을 가지는 실리카 분말을 제조하고 고표면적을 얻기 위한 합성조건을 최적화하였다. 주형제로 이용된 CTAB의 양과 액적들의 반응기 내에서 체류시간을 변화시켜주면서 입자를 제조하고 SEM, BET, SAXS, 그리고 DLS를 통해 분말특성을 조사하였다. 기체 유입속도를 고정하고 CTAB/TEOS 몰비를 0.05에서 0.30으로 변화시킴에 따라 비표면적은 200에서 $1,290m^2/g$으로 변화였다. CTAB/TEOS 몰비를 고정했을 때 입자의 비표면적은 기체의 유입속도에 따라 1,062에서 $1,305m^2/g$ 사이에서 변화되었다. 제조된 입자들의 BJH 탈착에 의한 평균 기공 크기는 $21{\sim}23{\AA}$를 가졌으며, CTAB/TEOS 몰비나 기체 유입속도에 크게 영향을 받지 않았다. 최대 표면적은 CTAB/TEOS 비를 0.2, 기체 유속을 20 l/min으로 했을 때 $1,305m^2/g$를 얻었다. 제조된 실리카 분말은 육방형구조의 규칙적인 기공에 기인한 $2{\theta}=2.6^{\circ}$ 강한 피크와 $2{\theta}=4.4$ 및 $5.1^{\circ}$ 약한 피크를 가지는 것을 SAXS 분석결과로 확인하였다. 제조된 실리카 분말은 구형의 형상을 가졌으며 $1.0{\mu}m$의 평균크기를 가졌다.

Several activated carbon in different specific surface area was prepared by steam and chemical activation of coconut shell. Products were characterized by BET ($N_2$) at 77K, and probed to be highly specific surface area of $1580m^2/g$ and pore volume that had increased with activating conditions. And also we have analyzed the adsorption efficiency of vapor phase components in cigarette mainstream smoke in order to evaluate the relationship between thesmoke components and the physicochemical properties of activated carbons. As a result of this study, the delivery of mainstream smoke was directly affected by the specific surface area and the pore size of activated carbon. The activated carbon prepared by steam activation exhibited better adsorption efficiency on the vapor phase components in mainstream smoke compared with activated carbon prepared by $ZnCl_2$, due to the higher micro-pore area of 66%. But the adsorption efficiency of semi-volatile matters such as phenolic components in a main stream smoke by the activated mesoporous carbon prepared by $ZnCl_2$ is more effective. From the these results, we can conclude that specific surface area by the micropore area increased the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon on vapour phase components, but semi-volatiles or particulate matter was affected by the ratio of mesopore area in total specific surface area.

To improve the performance of carbon nanofibers as electrode material in electrical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), we prepare three types of samples with different pore control by electrospinning. The speciments display different surface structures, melting behavior, and electrochemical performance according to the process. Carbon nanofibers with two complex treatment processes show improved performance over the other samples. The mesoporous carbon nanofibers (sample C), which have the optimal conditions, have a high sepecific surface area of $696m^2g^{-1}$, a high average pore diameter of 6.28 nm, and a high mesopore volume ratio of 87.1%. In addition, the electrochemical properties have a high specific capacitance of $110.1F\;g^{-1}$ at a current density of $0.1A\;g^{-1}$ and an excellent cycling stability of 84.8% after 3,000 cycles at a current density of $0.1A\;g^{-1}$. Thus, we explain the improved electrochemical performance by the higher reaction area due to an increased surface area and a faster diffusion path due to the increased volume fraction of the mesopores. Consequently, the mesoporous carbon nanofibers are demonstrated to be a very promising material for use as electrode materials of high-performance EDLCs.

Because of their excellent stability and highly specific surface area, carbon based materials have received attention as electrode materials of electrical double-layer capacitors(EDLCs). Biomass based carbon materials have been studied for electrode materials of EDLCs; these materials have low capacitance and high-rate performance. We fabricated tofu based porous activated carbon by polymer dissolution reaction and KOH activation. The activated porous carbon(APC-15), which has an optimum condition of 15 wt%, has a high specific surface area($1,296.1m^2\;g^{-1}$), an increased average pore diameter(2.3194 nm), and a high mesopore distribution(32.4 %), as well as increased surface functional groups. In addition, APC has a high specific capacitance($195F\;g^{-1}$) at low current density of $0.1A\;g^{-1}$ and excellent specific capacitance($164F\;g^{-1}$) at high current density of $2.0A\;g^{-1}$. Due to the increased specific surface area, volume ratio of mesopores, and surface functional groups, the specific capacitance and high-rate performance increased. Consequently, the tofu based activated porous carbon can be proposed as an electrode material for high-performance EDLCs.
