이 연구에서는, 열수화법을 사용하여 ZnO 나노막대를성장 온도와 성장 농도를 변화하여 그 효과에 대해서 조사하였다. Zn 화합물의 농도는 0.02 M~0.08 M 로 변화를 주었고, 성장 온도는 $60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ 로 유지하였다. 우리는 SEM 으로 부터 성장 온도가 증가할 때에 수직으로 더 빨리 자라는 것을 확인하였고, 성장 농도가 증가할 때에 diameter가 증가하는것을 확인 할 수가 있었다. 성장 속도에 농도와 온도가 매우 큰 영향을 주는 것을 확인을 할 수 가있었다. 또한, Photoluminescence (PL) 로부터 성장 온도가 $80^{\circ}C$ 이고, 0.08 M 에서 UV emission 이 가장 강하게 나타 났으며, 가장 좋은 결정질을확인 하였다. 그러므로, ZnO 나노 막대의 직경과 길이를두 성장 변수롤 통하여 제어가 가능 하게 되었다. 또한, ZnO 나노 막대를 저온에서 성장 할 수 있어 투명 플렉서블 소자에 적용이 될 가능성을 보였다.

Photocatalytic water splitting into $H_2$ and $O_2$ using semiconductors has received much attention, especially for its potential application to direct production of $H_2$ for clean energy from water utilizing solar light energy. Since the report of Fujishima and Honda on the water splitting by photoelectrochemical cells, numerous different semiconducting materials have been used as photocatalysts for hydrogen generation from water. Among them, platinized titania significantly accelerates hydrogen production from water. For geometrical improvement of $TiO_2$ particle, porous $TiO_2$ structure was proposed and studied such as nanofiber, nanorod and nototubes. This research focuses on finding out the optimum temperature and electrolyte to produce $H_2$ by solar water splitting.

Nanowire와 nanorod 같은 1차원의 반도체 재료는 디멘젼과 크기와 물리적 특성과의 관계 등을 연구하는데 중요한 역할을 하며 laser ablation, arc discharge, chemical vapor depostion, vapor phase transport Process와 solution등의 방법으로 성공적으로 합성되었다. ZnO 는 3.37eV의 넓은 밴드갭과 다른 넓은 밴드갭 재료에 비해 높은 exciton bindng energy (60meV)를 가지며 UV LED, laser diode에 적용하기 유리하고 최근 디스플레나 나노 광전소자로서의 가능성 이 대두되면서 최근 이에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 열적탄소환원법(carbothermal reduction process)으로 ZnO와 graphite 분말을 1:1 중량비로 혼합한 분말을 90$0^{\circ}C$, 100$0^{\circ}C$에서 air 분위기에서 20분간 반응 후 로 내에서 냉각 하였다. 직경 이 50nm-1000nm, 길이가 수 미크론인 내부 결함이 전혀 없는 육각형 단결정의 nanowire가 합성되었고 XRD, FE-SEM과 TEM으로 조성 및 형상, 내부구조를 분석하였다. 합성된 ZnO nanowire는 직경 이 변하는 부분에서 성장방향으로의 계단을 형성하였고 이는 layer by layer 방법으로 nanowire가 성장한다는 것을 나타낸다.

비정질 실리콘 태양전지의 효율을 증가하기 위하여 많이 사용되는 방법 중 하나는 입사되는 빛의 산란을 증가하여 태양전지의 광흡수를 증가시키는 방법이다. 이를 위하여 양극전극으로 사용되는 TCO층의 일정한 패턴 처리를 통하여 광산란을 증가시키는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 나노 임프린트 리소그래피방법을 사용하여 Ag 나노로드를 증착한 기판을 제조하고 이를 비정질 실리콘 태양전지에 적용하였다. 실험결과, 그림과 같이 높이와 너비가 300nm 정도로 일정한 패턴의 Ag 나노로드를 제조하였다. 또한, 그 위에 증착된 Si 박막의 경우, 나노로드 전체를 감싸는 돔 형태로 성장하였다. 이와 같은 나노로드 위에 substrate n-i-p 구조의 비정질 박막 태양전지를 증착하고 그 특성변화를 분석하고자 하였다.

We studied the optoelectronic properties of hybrid solar cells formed by mixing cadmium sulfide [CdS] nanorods with a conjugated polymer, poly-2-methoxy, 5-[2'-ethy[hexyloxy]-1,4-p-phenylenevinylene[MEH-PPV]. CdS nanorods were grown vertically on Ti substrates by electrochemical deposition through a porous alumina template. Absorption spectrum of the composite layer was the same as the superposition of the absorption spectrum of each individual layer. The photoluminescence signal from MEH-PPV film was reduced as a result of the mixing. The energy conversion efficiency of MEH-PPV improved from $0.0012\%$ to about $0.60\%$ when combined with the vertically aligned CdS nanorods.

In this paper, we present a strain-sensitive composite skin-like film made up of piezoresistive zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods embedded in a flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) substrate, with added reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to facilitate connections between the nanorod clusters and increase strain sensitivity. Preparation of the composite is described in detail. Cyclic strain sensing tests are conducted. Experiments indicate that the resulting ZnO-PDMS/rGO composite film is strain-sensitive and thus capable of sensing cycling strain accurately. As such, it has the potential to be molded on to a structure (civil, mechanical, aerospace, or biological) in order to provide a strain sensing skin.

Vibration of axially functionally graded nano-rods and beams is investigated. It is assumed that the material properties change along the rod and beam length. The Ritz method with algebraic polynomials is used in the formulation of the problems. Stress gradient elasticity theory is utilized in order to include the nonlocal effects. Frequencies are obtained for different boundary conditions, geometrical and material properties. Nonlocal parameter is assumed as changing linearly or quadratically along the length of the nanostructure. Frequencies are compared to constant nonlocal parameter cases and considerable differences are observed between constant and variable nonlocal parameter cases. Mode shapes in various cases are depicted in order to explain the effects of axial grading.

This paper studies on dynamic and stability behavior of a clamped-elastically restrained nanobeam under the action of a nonconservative force with an emphasis on the influence of surface properties on divergence and flutter instability. Using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory incorporating surface effects, a governing equation for a clamped-elastically restrained nanobeam is derived according to Hamilton's principle. The characteristic equation is obtained explicitly and the force-frequency interaction curves are displayed to show the influence of the surface effects, spring stiffness of the elastic restraint end on critical loads including divergence and flutter loads. Divergence and flutter instability transition is analyzed. Euler buckling and stability of Beck's column are some special cases of the present at macroscale.

Aluminum oxide ($Al_2O_3$) materials were coated conformally on ZnO nanorods by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The ZnO nanorods were first synthesized on a Si(100) substrate from ball-milled ZnO powders by a thermal evaporation procedure. $Al_2O_3$ films were then deposited on these ZnO nanorods by ALD at a substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and distilled water ($H_2O$). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images of the deposited ZnO nanorods revealed that amorphous $Al_2O_3$ cylindrical shells surround the ZnO nanorods. These TEM images illustrate that ALD has an excellent capability to coat any shape of nanorods conformally.
