Organometal halide perovskite materials, due to the tunability of their electronic and optical properties by control of composition and structure, have taken a position of significant importance in optoelectronic applications such as photovoltaic and lighting devices. Despite numerous studies on the structure - property relationship, however, practical application of these materials in electronic and optical devices is still limited by their processability during fabrication. Achieving nano-sized perovskite particles embedded in a polymer matrix with high loading density and outstanding photoluminescence performance is challenging. Here, we demonstrate that the careful control of nanoparticle formation and growth in the presence of poly(methyl methacrylate) results in perovskite nanoparticle - polymer nanocomposites with very good dispersion and photoluminescence. Furthermore, this approach is found to prevent further growth of perovskite nanoparticles, and thus results in a more uniform film, which enables fabrication using the perovskite nanoparticles.

Solar cells, converting abundant solar energy into electrical energy, are considered crucial for sustainable energy generation. Recent advancements focus on nanoparticle-enhanced solar cells to overcome limitations and improve efficiency. These cells offer two potential efficiency enhancements. Firstly, plasmonic effects through nanoparticles can improve optical performance by enhancing absorption. Secondly, nanoparticles can improve charge transport and reduce recombination losses, enhancing electrical performance. However, factors like nanoparticle size, placement, and solar cell structure influence the overall performance. This study evaluates the performance of silver nanoparticles incorporated in a p-i-n structure of perovskite solar cells, generated via aerosol state by the evaporation and condensation system. The silver nanoparticles deposited between the hole transport layer and transparent electrode form nanoparticle embedded transport layer (NETL). The evaluation of the optoelectronic properties of perovskite devices using NETL demonstrates their potential for improving efficiency. The findings highlight the possibility of nanoparticle incorporation in perovskite solar cells, providing insights for sustainable energy generation.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanocrystals have attracted a lot of attention owing to their excellent optical properties such as high absorption coefficient, high diffusion length, and photoluminescence quantum yield in optoelectronic applications. Despite the many advantages of optoelectronic materials, understanding on how these materials interact with their environments is still lacking. In this study, the fluorescence properties of methylammonium lead bromide (CH₃NH₃PbBr₃, MAPbBr₃) nanoparticles are investigated for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and aliphatic amines (monoethylamine, diethylamine, and trimethylamine). In particular, colloidal MAPbBr₃ nanoparticles demonstrate a high selectivity in response to diethylamine, in which a significant photoluminescence (PL) quenching (~ 100 %) is observed at a concentration of 100 ppm. This selectivity to the aliphatic amines may originate from the relative size of the amine molecules that must be accommodated in the perovskite crystals structure with a narrow range of tolerance factor. Sensitive PL response of MAPbBr₃ nanocrystals suggests a simple and effective strategy for colorimetric and fluorescence sensing of aliphatic amines in organic solution phase.

Nanomaterials have considerable potential to solve several key challenges in various electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells. However, the use of nanoparticles in high-temperature devices like solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is considered problematic because the nanostructured surface typically prepared by deposition techniques may easily coarsen and thus deactivate, especially when used in high-temperature redox conditions. Herein we report the synthesis of a self-regenerated Pd metal nanoparticle on the perovskite oxide anode surface for SOFCs that exhibit self-recovery from their degradation in redox cycle and $CH_4$ fuel running. Using Pd-doped perovskite, $La(Sr)Fe(Mn,Pd)O_3$, as an anode, fairly high maximum power densities of 0.5 and $0.2cm^{-2}$ were achieved at 1,073 K in $H_2$ and $CH_4$ respectively, despite using thick electrolyte support-type cell. Long-term stability was also examined in $CH_4$ and the redox cycle, when the anode is exposed to air. The cell with Pd-doped perovskite anode had high tolerance against re-oxidation and recovered the behavior of anodic performance from catalytic degradation. This recovery of power density can be explained by the surface segregation of Pd nanoparticles, which are self-recovered via re-oxidation and reduction. In addition, self-recovery of the anode by oxidation treatment was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

기계화학공정(MCP; Mechano Chemical Process)은 원료 분말이 기계적인 에너지로 인해 상 형성이 활성화되기 때문에 기존의 볼밀링을 이용한 고상반응에서 필수적인 높은 온도에서의 하소 공정이 필요하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 고 에너지 MCP 방법을 이용하여 perovskite 구조를 가지는 PLT 나노 분말을 제조하였다. 특히, 일반적으로 출발물질로 염을 이용하는 것과 달리 산화물을 원료 분말로 사용하여 어떠한 열처리 공정 없이 PLT 나노 분말을 합성하였다. 또한 건식으로 밀링을 하여 분말 건조 공정이 필요 없어서 공정이 간단하다. MCP 밀링은 시간 별로 12시간까지 진행하였으며, 제조된 분말의 상 분석과 결정면 분석 결과 3시간 이후에는 perovskite 구조의 순수한 PLT 상을 형성하였다. 또한 마이크로 크기의 원료 분말이 밀링 3시간이 지나자 약 20 nm 크기의 균일한 나노 입자가 생성되었다.

할라이드 페로브스카이트 물질은 우수한 광전특성으로 인해 차세대 디스플레이에 응용시킬 물질로서 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 SiO₂ 나노입자의 기공 내부에서 제한시킨 결정 성장을 통하여 할라이드 페로브스카이트의 안정성 문제를 해결한, CsPbBr₃의 새로운 소결법을 제안한다. 최적의 소결 조건에서 소결된 CsPbBr₃-SiO₂ 나노입자는 515 nm의 발광 피크를 나타낸다. CsPbBr₃-SiO₂ 나노입자는 소결 과정 중 닫힌 기공에 말미암아 몇 종의 극성 용매 속에서도 안정적으로 발광 특성을 유지할 수 있었으며, 이는 디스플레이용 색변환 필름으로서의 응용 가능성을 보여준다.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have generated a strong interest in the development of solid-state devices owing to their low cost and simple preparation procedures. Effort has been devoted to the study of electrolytes that allow light-to-electrical power conversion for DSSC applications. Several attempts have been made to substitute the liquid electrolyte in the original solar cells by using (2,2',7,7'-tetrakis (N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9-9'-spirobi-fluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) that act as hole conductor [1]. Although efficiencies above 3% have been reached by several groups, here the major challenging is limited photoelectrode thickness ($2{\mu}m$), which is very low due to electron diffusion length (Ln) for spiro-OMeTAD ($4.4{\mu}m$) [2]. In principle, the $TiO_2$ layer can be thicker than had been thought previously. This has important implications for the design of high-efficiency solid-state DSSCs. In the present study, we have fabricated 3-D Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO) by growing tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) nanowire (NWs) arrays via a vapor transport method [3] and mesoporous $TiO_2$ nanoparticle (NP)-based photoelectrodes were prepared using doctor blade method. Finally optimized light-harvesting solid-state DSSCs is made using 3-D TCO where electron life time is controlled the recombination rate through fast charge collection and also ITO NWs length can be controlled in the range of over $2{\mu}m$ and has been characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Structural analyses by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) results reveal that the ITO NWs formed single crystal oriented [100] direction. Also to compare the charge collection properties of conventional NPs based solid-state DSSCs with ITO NWs based solid-state DSSCs, we have studied intensity modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS), intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and transient open circuit voltages. As a result, above $4{\mu}m$ thick ITO NWs based photoelectrodes with Z907 dye shown the best performing device, exhibiting a short-circuit current density of 7.21 mA cm-2 under simulated solar emission of 100 mW cm-2 associated with an overall power conversion efficiency of 2.80 %. Finally, we achieved the efficiency of 7.5% by applying a CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite sensitizer.

본 연구에서는 liquid-solid solution 합성법을 통해 고유전 페로브스카이트 구조의 barium strontium titanate(Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃, BSTO)를 합성하여 trimethylsilyl chloride(TMCS)를 silylation agent로 이용한 표면개질을 진행하였다. Silylation 표면개질을 활용하여 기존 BSTO 나노입자 표면에 있던 -OH 리간드와 TMCS가 갖고 있는 Cl을 반응시켜 나노입자 표면의 리간드를 -Si, -CH₃로 치환하였다. 다양한 TMCS 농도의 변화를 주어 silylation을 진행했고, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy 및 X 선 회절 분석, 전계방사 주사전자현미경을 통해 silicon network 및 결정구조, 나노입자의 크기를 확인하였다. 접촉각 변화 관찰을 통해 가장 많이 silylation된 BSTO 나노입자에서 120.9°인 소수성 특성을 확인하였다. 나노입자의 silylation을 통해 D.I water 내 BSTO 나노입자의 소수화 정도를 확인하였다.

DC 스퍼터를 이용하여 은(Ag) 나노입자를 입도 0.2~3 ${\mu}m$ 크기를 갖는 페롭스카이트(Perovskite) $La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}Co_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-{\delta}}$(LSCF) 입자 표면에 코팅하여 복합재를 제조하였다. 제조된 LSCF/Ag 복합재에서 Ag 나노입자는 수 나노입자 크기로 형성되었으며 Ar가스 분위기에서 $800^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후에도 Ag입자가 응집되는 현상이 없어 안정적으로 증착되었음을 확인하였다. LSCF 표면에 Ag나노입자 코팅양이 2.11 wt.%까지 증가함에 따라 Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FT-IR) 분광기의 파수가 크게 변하여 강한 결합이 형성되어 있으며, Ag 코팅 전후 결정 구조의 변화는 없으나 M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer 분광 분석으로 확인한 결과 $Fe^{4+}$ 이온이 감소하면서 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온이 증가하여 LSCF의 전자 가에 변화가 생김을 확인 할 수 있었다.
