Plasma-polymer thin films (PPTF) have been deposited on a Si(100) wafer and glass under several conditions such as different RF power by using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system. Ethylcyclohexane, ammonia gas, hydrogen and argon were utilized as organic precursor, doping gas, bubbler gas and carrier gases, respectively. PPTFs were grown up with RF (ratio frequency using 13.56 MHz) powers in the range of 20~60 watt. PPTFs were characterized by FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared), FE-SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), Contact angle and Probe station. The result of FT-IR measurement showed that the PPTFs have high cross-link density nitrogen doping ratio was also changed with a RF power increasing. AFM and FE-SEM also showed that the PPTFs have smooth surface and thickness. Impedance analyzer was utilized for the measurements of C-V curves having different dielectric constant as RF power.

본 연구에서는 그래핀 옥사이드의 전기적 특성을 향상시키고자 그래핀 옥사이드에 암모니아수 처리를 이용하여 아민화가 이루어진 그래핀 옥사이드를 제조하였다. 그리고, 아민화된 그래핀 옥사이드의 전기적 특성을 평가하고자 이를 필름으로 제조하여 전자파차폐효율을 측정하였다. 암모니아수 처리 농도가 증가함에 따라 그래핀 옥사이드 표면의 질소 관능기가 증가함을 XPS에 의하여 확인하였으며, 또한, 전자파차폐효율 측정 결과 암모니아수 처리된 그래핀 옥사이드의 전자파차폐효율 특성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 21% 암모니아수 농도로 처리한 그래핀 옥사이드는 2950 MHz 이상에서 -5 dB 이상의 전자파차폐효율을 보여주었으며, 이러한 실험 결과들은 질소 관능기가 그래핀 옥사이드 내에 전자전달을 용이하게 하여 흡수되는 전자파 양을 증가시켰기 때문으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 urea를 이용해 질소 도핑된 카본 펠트 전극을 제조하고 이를 바나듐 레독스 흐름 전지용 전극으로 적용하였다. Urea는 암모니아 보다 취급이 용이할 뿐 아니라 고온 열분해를 통해 $NH_2$ 라디칼이 발생하여 탄소 표면에 질소 작용기를 만들고 이는 바나듐 이온의 산화/환원 반응을 향상시키는 활성점(active site)로 작용한다. Urea로 활성화된 카본 펠트 전극은 $150mA/cm^2$의 전류 밀도에서 14.9 Ah/L의 방전 용량을 보였으며 이는 산소작용기로 활성화된 카본 펠트(OGF) 및 비활성화 카본 펠트(GF)보다 각각 23% 및 187% 더 높았다. 이러한 결과는 urea로 활성화된 카본 펠트 전극이 레독스 흐름 전지용 전극 소재로 사용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

광촉매로 검토된 물질 중에는 티타니아가 가장 큰 주목을 받아왔다. 그러나, 티타니아는 밴드갭 에너지가 높음으로 인하여 자외선 영역에서만 그 활성을 나타낼 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서, 티타니아의 광촉매 활성을 가시광선 영역으로 확대하려는 노력들이 있어왔으며, 대표적인 방안들은 티타니아의 표면 개질을 통해 시도되었다. 티타니아 광촉매가 가시광선 영역에서 활성을 갖기 위해서는 표면 개질을 요구한다. 티타니아의 다양한 표면 개질 방안 중 질소도핑은 제조의 수월성과 친환경적인 장점을 가진다. 질소 도핑 티타니아는 가시광선 영역에서도 가전자대의 전자가 전도대로 여기되며, 광촉매 활성을 잘 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 발표된 많은 자료에 근거하여 티타니아 내부에 도핑된 질소 형태에 주목하였다. 여전히 논쟁이 계속되는 질소 도핑 제조방법과 티타니아 내부의 질소 형태에 대해서 살펴보았다. 특히, 질소 도핑 형태는 주로 두 가지로 보고되고 있으며, 티타니아 격자를 구성하는 산소를 질소가 치환하는 경우와 티타니아 격자 사이에서 질소산화물의 형태로 위치하는 경우가 알려져 있다. 지금도 가시광선 영역에서 물 분해를 할 수 있는 잠재력을 활용하려는 시도들은 지속적으로 나오고 있으며, 질소 도핑 티타니아의 향후 전망에 대해서도 살펴보았다.

The activated carbon materials were prepared from waste biomass by ultrasonic assisted chemical activation method (UCA), ultrasonic assisted physical activation method (UPA) and Manganese nitrogen doped carbon (Mn/N-C). The XRD result shows the turbostatic (fully disordered) structure. The cyclic voltammetry test was done at 50 mV/s using 1M sodium sulfate and the values of specific capacitance were found to be 93, 100 and 115 F/g for UCA, UPA and Mn/N-C respectively. The power density values for the samples UCA, UPA and Mn/N-C were found to be 46.04, 87.97 and 131.42 W/kg respectively. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was done at low frequency between 1 to 10 kHz. The Nyquist plot gives the resistant characteristics of the materials due to diffusional resistance at the electrode-electrolyte interface. The Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopyanalysis (EDAX) analysis showed that the percentage doping of nitrogen and manganese were 3.53 wt% and 9.44 wt% respectively. It is observed from the experiment Mn/N-C doped carbon show good physical and electrochemical properties.

A carbon felt electrode was prepared using ozone and ammonia sequential treatment and applied as an electrode for a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). The physical and electrochemical analyses demonstrate that the oxygen groups facilitate nitrogen doping in the carbon felt. Carbon felt (J5O3+NH3), which was subjected to ammonia heat treatment after ozone treatment, showed higher oxygen and nitrogen contents than carbon felt (J5NH3+O3), which was subjected to ammonia heat treatment first and then ozone treatment. From the charging/discharging of VRFB, the J5O3+NH3 carbon felt electrode showed 14.4 Ah/L discharge capacity at a current density of 150 mA /cm², which was 15% and 33% higher than that of J5NH3+O3 and non-activated carbon felt (J5), respectively. These results show that ozone and ammonia sequential treatment is an effective carbon felt activation method to increase the performance of the vanadium redox flow battery.

Carbon supports for dispersed platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are being continuously developed to improve electrochemical performance and catalyst stability. However, carbon supports still require solutions to reduce costs and improve catalyst efficiency. In this study, we prepare well-dispersed Pt electrocatalysts by introducing titanium dioxide (TiO₂) into biomass based nitrogen-doped carbon supports. In order to obtain optimized electrochemical performance, different amounts of TiO₂ component are controlled by three types (Pt/TNC-2 wt%, Pt/TNC-4 wt%, and Pt/TNC-6 wt%). Especially, the anodic current density of Pt/TNC-4 wt% is 707.0 mA g^-1_pt, which is about 1.65 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C (429.1 mA g^-1_pt); Pt/TNC-4wt% also exhibits excellent catalytic stability, with a retention rate of 91 %. This novel support provides electrochemical performance improvement including several advantages of improved anodic current density and catalyst stability due to the well-dispersed Pt nanoparticles on the support by the introduction of TiO₂ component and nitrogen doping in carbon. Therefore, Pt/TNC-4 wt% may be electrocatalyst a promising catalyst as an anode for high-performance DMFCs.

Bundles of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) were grown using catalytic layer supported by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Amine-SAMs were introduced on SiO2/Si substrate (SAMs/Si) there then iron nanoclusters solution was dropped on it through spin-coating (Fe/SAMs/Si). This catalytic template was used to grow CNTs and the synthesized carbon material was confirmed the bundles of dense SWCNTs with incorporation of ca.1% nitrogen. The SAMs has played an active role to support catalytic layer and also acted as a source of N-dope onto SWCNTs in CVD.

Vacuum evaporated cadmium sulphide (CdS) thin films were implanted with $Ar^+$ and $N^+$ for different doses. The properties of the ion implanted CdS thin films have been analysed using XRD, optical transmittance spectra, and Raman scattering studies. Formation of Cd metallic clusters were observed in ion implanted films. The band gap of $Ar^+$ doped films decreased from 2.385 eV of the undoped film to 2.28 eV for the maximum doping. In the case of $N^+$ doped film the band gap decreased from 2.385 to 2.301 eV, whereas the absorption coefficient values increased with the increase of implantation dose. On implantation of both types of ions, the Raman peak position appeared at $299\textrm{cm}^{-1}$ and the FWHM changed with the ion dose.

Graphene nanosheets (GNS), nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets (N-GNS), and sulfur-doped graphene nanosheets (S-GNS) were successfully synthesized, and their catalytic effects on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in $Li-O_2$ batteries were compared. The S-GNS electrode exhibited the highest ORR catalytic activity, resulting in enhanced discharge capacity and power capability. We attributed the enhanced ORR catalytic activity to the increased defect sites on graphene.
