본 연구에서는 역전기투석용 4차 암모늄이온을 음이온교환기로 갖는 폴리아크릴레이트계 광가교형 음이온교환막을 개발하였다. 역전기투석은 청정 재생에너지 생산 시스템이지만 출력이 낮고 핵심 소재인 분리막의 가격이 비싸다는 단점으로 인해 상용화에 제한이 있다. 이에, 지지체가 없는 광가교형 음이온교환소재를 제조하였으며 개발한 고분자의 주쇄는 우수한 물성의 엔지니어링 플라스틱을 기반으로 제조하였다. 제조된 분리막은 우수한 물리적, 화학적, 전기화학적 특성을 보였으며 상용 음이온교환막인 AMV와 비교하여 약 50% 낮은 분리막 저항을 보였다. 더욱이 CQAPPOA-35는 40 ㎛의 얇은 분리막 두께에도 불구하고 상용막과 동등 수준의 선택도를 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. CQAPPOA-35을 적용한 RED 스택은 최대 2.327 W m^-2 (flow rate : 100 mL min^-1)의 출력 밀도를 보여 AMV가 도입된 것보다 15% 향상된 성능 특성을 보였다. 개발된 CQAPPOA-35이 광경화를 통해 쉽고 저렴하게 제조할 수 있으며 RED 스택 특성도 매우 우수하다는 점을 고려할 때, 개발된 CQAPPOA-35은 RED용 음이온교환막으로 상용 활용을 위한 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A disposable solid-state pH sensor was realized by utilizing two nanoporous Pt (npPt) electrodes and a copolyelectrolytic junction. One nanoporous Pt electrode was to measure the pH as an indicating electrode (pH-IE) and the other assembled with copolyelectrolytic junction was to maintain constant open circuit potential ($E_{oc}$) as a solid-state reference electrode (SSRE). The copolyelectrolytic junction was composed of cationic and anionic polymers immobilized by photo-polymerization of N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, making buffered electrolytic environment on the SSRE. It was expected to make. The nanoporous Pt surrounded by a constant pH excellently worked as a solid state reference electrode so as to stabilize the system within 30 s and retain the electrochemical environment regardless of unknown sample solutions. Combination between the SSRE and the pH-IE commonly based on nanoporous Pt yielded a complete solid-state pH sensor that requires no internal filling solution. The solid state pH sensing chip is simple and easy to fabricate so that it could be practically used for disposable purposes. Moreover, the solid-state pH sensor successfully functions in calibration-free mode in a variety of buffers and surfactant samples.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have recently been developed as a cost-effective photovoltaic system due to their low-cost materials and facile processing. The production of DSSC involves chemical and thermal processes but no vacuum is involved. Therefore, DSSC can be fabricated without using expensive equipment. The use of dyes and nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ is one of the most promising approaches to realize both high performance and low cost. The efficiency of the DSSC changes consequently in the particle size, morphology, crystallization and surface state of the $TiO_2$. Nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ materials have been widely used as a photo catalyst and an electron collector in DSSC. Front electrode in DSSC are required to have an extremely high porosity and surface area such that the dyes can be sufficiently adsorbed and be electronically interconnected, resulting in the efficient generation of photocurrent within cells. In this study, DSSC were fabricated by an screen printing for the $TiO_2$ thin film. $TiO_2$ nanoparticles characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) and scanning auger microscopy (SAM) and zeta potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).In addition, DSSC module was modeled and simulated using the SILVACO TCAD software program. Improve the efficiency of DSSC, the effect of $TiO_2$ thin film thickness and $TiO_2$ nanoparticle size was investigated by SILVACO TCAD software program.
