Perovskite solar cells have exhibited a remarkable increase in efficiency from an initial 3.8% to 26.1%, marking a significant advancement. However, challenges persist in the commercialization of perovskite solar cells due to their low stability with respect to humidity, light exposure, and temperature. Moreover, the instability of the organic charge transport layer underscores the need for exploring inorganic alternatives. In the manufacturing process of the perovskite solar cells' oxide charge transport layer, ultraviolet-ozone (UVO) treatment is commonly applied to enhance the wettability of the perovskite solution. The UVO treatment on metal oxides has proven effective in suppressing surface oxygen vacancies and removing surface organic contaminants. This study focused on the characterization of nickel oxide as the hole transport material in perovskite solar cells, specifically investigating the impact of UVO treatment on film properties. Through this analysis, changes induced by the UVO treatment were observed, and consequent alterations in the device characteristics were identified.

The improved high-performance Fe-based perovskite-type oxides ($La_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}M_xFe_{1-x}O_3$, M = Cu, Cr, Ni) were synthesized by a citrate method and characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD and NMR spectroscopy analyses. The characterization analyses revealed that the stoichiometric amounts of lattice oxygen were existed in all of perovskite samples except for a nickel-doped perovskite. Fe-based perovskites exhibited a surprising result for ortho-para $H_2$ spin conversion reaction, indicating two orders of magnitude higher conversions and conversion rates than commercial $Fe_2O_3$. It was considered that this conversion difference might be attributed to the presence of oxygen vacancies in Fe-based perovskites prepared in this study.

본 연구에서는 전구체 용액의 산화환원 발열반응을 이용하여 다성분계 산화물을 제조할 수 있는 용액연소합성법을 이용하여 페로브스카이트 구조 PZT 세라믹스를 합성하고자 하였다. 산화제/환원제 전구체 혼합물의 열분석(DTA/TG) 결과 산화제와 환원제의 열분해 거동의 차이로 인해 214$^{\circ}C$와 35$0^{\circ}C$에서 발열 피크가 나타났다. PZT세라믹스 합성을 위한 승온 과정에서는 37$0^{\circ}C$에서 연소반응이 일어났으나, 페로브스카이트로의 상전이는 일어나지 않았다. 용액연소과정 중 산화제와 연료의 열분해 거동을 고려하여 $600^{\circ}C$에서 제조한 생성물은 결정크기가 50nm인 정방정의 단일상으로 이루어진 PZT세라믹스이었다. 격자상수를 측정한 결과 a는 3.997$\pm$0.001 $\AA$이었으며, c는 4.147$\pm$0.001 $\AA$으로 나타났다.

Perovskite-type oxides with the nominal composition of ABO₃ can exsolve the B-site transition metal upon the controlled reduction. In this exsolution process, the transition metal emerges from the oxide lattice and migrates to the surface at which it forms catalytically active nanoparticles. The exsolved nanoparticles can recover back to the bulk lattice under oxidation treatment. This unique regeneration character by the redox treatment provides uniformly dispersed noble metal nanoparticles. Therefore, the conventional problem of traditional impregnated metal/support, i.e., sintering during reaction, can be effectively avoided by using the exsolution phenomenon. In this regard, the catalysts using the exsolution strategy have been well studied for a wide range of applications in energy conversion and storage devices such as solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis cells (SOFCs and SOECs) because of its high thermal and chemical stability. On the other hand, although this exsolution strategy can also be applied to gas phase reaction catalysts, it has seldomly been reviewed. Here, we thus review recent applications of the exsolution catalysts to the gas phase reactions from the aspects of experimental measurements, where various functions of the exsolved particles were utilized. We also review non-perovskite type metal oxides that might have exolution phenomenon to provide more possibilities to develop higher efficient catalysts.

A site preference of niobium atom in Rb2-xLa2Ti3-xNbxO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq1.0)$ and RbLa2-xCaxTi2-xNb1+xO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq2.0)$, which are the solid-solutions between Rb2La2Ti3O10 and RbCa2Nb3O10, has been investigated by Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectra of Rb2-xLa2Ti3-xNbxO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq1.0)$ gave an evidence that niobium atoms substituted for titanium atoms preferably occupy the highly distorted outer octahedral sites rather than the central ones in triple-octahedral perovskite layers. In contrast, the Raman spectra of RbLa2-xCaxTi2-xNb1+xO10 (0.0 $\leq$ x $\leq2.0)$ showed no clear information for the cationic arrangement in perovskite slabs. This difference indicated that a site preference of niobium atoms is observed only when the linear Rb-O-Ti linkage can be replaced by much stronger terminal Nb-O bond with double bond character. From comparison with the Raman spectroscopic behavior of CsLa2-xA’xTi2-xNb1+xO10 (A’ = Ca and Ba; 0.0 $\leqx\leq2.0)$, it is also proposed that a local difference in arrangement of interlayer atoms causes a significantly different solid acidity and photocatalytic activity of the layered perovskite oxides, despite their crystallographically similar structures.

NiO and Co3O4-doped porous La(CoNi)O3 perovskite oxides were prepared from excess Ni addition by a hydrothermal method using porous silica template, and characterized as bifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for Zn-air rechargeable batteries in alkaline solution. Excess Ni induced to form NiO and Co3O4 in La(CoNi)O3 particles. The NiO and Co3O4-doped porous La(CoNi)O3 showed high specific surface area, up to nine times of conventionally synthesized perovskite oxide, and abundant pore volume with similar structure. Extra added Ni was partially substituted for Co as B site of ABO3 perovskite structure and formed to NiO and Co3O4 which was highly dispersed in particles. Excess Ni in La(CoNi)O3 catalysts increased OER performance (259 mA/㎠ at 2.4 V) in alkaline solution, although the activities (211 mA/㎠ at 0.5 V) for ORR were not changed with the content of excess Ni. La(CoNi)O3 with excess Ni showed very stable cyclability and low capacity fading rate (0.38 & 0.07 ㎶/hour for ORR & OER) until 300 hours (~70 cycles) but more excess content of Ni in La(CoNi)O3 gave negative effect to cyclability.

In the present study, preliminary experimental results of the change in the properties of perovskite-type oxides caused by the $^{18}O$- exchange have been reported. Two systems were selected for the exchange, (1) $ATiO_3$(A=Ca,Sr,Ba) and (2) manganese perovskite. The dielectric properties of isotope-exchanged $SrTi^{18}O_3$showed a drastic change from a quantum paraelectricity below 3K to ferroelectric-like behavior with a peak at 23K and an enhanced dielectric constant, 35000 at the peak. On the contrary, the $T_c$ for $BaTiO_3$was found to increase by 0.9K. The observed isotope shift of $T_c$ as well as $T_co$ for the manganese perovskites is correlated with the key parameters controlling the lattice such as $Mn^{3+}$ content, average ionic radius of the A-site cation <$r_A$> ad A-site ionic disorder $\sigma^2$.

Citrate 공침법으로 합성한 여러가지 perovskite형 복합산화물 흡착제에 대한 질소와 아르곤의 흡착등온곡선을 액체질소 온도에서 BET 중량 흡착장치를 사용하여 측정하였다. 여러 universal adsorption isotherm을 이용하여 흡착층의 통계적 두께 t를 구한 후, 측정한 흡착량을 각각의 통계적 두께 t에 대해서 도시하였다. 이 V-t plot으로부터 얻은 t-method 표면적과 BET 표면적을 비교하였다. 그리고 이 도시 결과에 입각해서 여러 universal adsorption isotherm의 적합성을 고찰하였다.
