A dipstick-type immunochemical biosensor for the detection of the organophosphorus insecticide fenthion was developed using a screen-printed electrode system as an amperometric transducer with polyclonal antibodies against fenthion as a bioreceptor. The assay of the biosensor involved competition between the pesticide in the sample and pesticide-glucose oxidase conjugate for binding to the antibody immobilized on the membrane. This was followed by measurement of the activity of the bound enzyme by the supply of the enzyme substrate (glucose) and amperometric determination of the enzyme reaction product ($H_2O_2$). The activity of the bound enzyme was inversely proportional to the concentration of pesticide. The optimized sensor system showed a linear response against the logarithm of the pesticide concentration ranging from $10^{-2}$ to $10^3\;{\mu}g/L$.

This paper describes an electrochemical immunosensor for simple, fast and quantitative detection of a urinary hippuric acid which is one of major biological indicator in toluene-exposed humans. The feature of this electrochemical system for immunoassay of hippuric acid is based on the direct conjugation of ferrocene to a hippuric acid. With the competition between the ferrocene-hippuric acid complex and hippuric acid for binding to the anti-hippuric acid monoclonal antibody coated onto gold nanoparticles, the electrical signals are turned out to be proportional to urinary hippuric acid in the range of 0.01-10 mg/mL, which is enough to be used for the point-of-care. The proposed electrochemical method could extend its applications to detect a wide range of different small molecules of antigens in the health care area.

This paper describes the development of a glucose biosensor based on ion sensitive field effect transistor(ISFET) with a palladium(Pd) modified ion sensing membrane. By adopting Pd as a hydrogen sensitive layer and integrating a screen-printed reference electrode, the sensitivity and stability were considerably improved due to the high permeability and selectivity of the Pd hydrogen selective membrane. This paper suggests a new approach for realizing portable and highly sensitive glucose sensors for diagnosing and treating diabetes mellitus.

본 연구에서는 탄소 및 은 잉크를 사용하여 스크린 인쇄 공정을 통한 전위차 나트륨 이온(Na⁺) 센서를 제작하였다. 센서의 두 전극 구성은 Na⁺ 용액에서 네른스트 거동에 따라 전극의 전위차를 발생하였다. 제조된 Na⁺ 센서는 이상적인 네른스트 민감도, 빠른 응답 시간 및 낮은 검출 한계를 보여주었다. 네른스트 반응은 센서의 반복성 및 장기 내구성 테스트 시 안정적이었다. 탄소 전극에 코팅된 Na⁺ 선택막은 간섭 이온에 대해 나트륨 이온을 선택적으로 통과시켜 우수한 선택성을 증명하였다. 휴대용 Na⁺ 센서는 인쇄 회로 시스템을 사용하여 제작되었으며 다양한 실제 샘플에서 Na⁺ 농도를 성공적으로 측정하는 것을 증명하였다.

In heterojunction technology (HJT) solar cells, low-temperature curing paste is used because the passivation layer deteriorates at high temperatures of 200℃ or higher. However, manufacturing HJT photovoltaic (PV) modules is challenging due to the weak peel strength between busbar electrodes and cells after soldering process. For this issue, the electrode thicknesses of the busbars of the HJT solar cell were analyzed, and the peel strengths between electrodes and wires were measured after soldering using an infrared (IR) lamp. As a result, the electrodes printed by the screen printing method had a difference in thickness due to screen mask. Also, as the thickness of the electrode increased, the peel strength of the wire increased.

A novel non-enzymatic oxalic acid (OA) sensor based on the platinum/carbon black-nickel-reduced graphene oxide (Pt/CBNi-rGO) nanocomposite is reported. The nanocomposites were prepared by the ethylene glycol reduction method. Their morphology and chemical composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results clearly demonstrated the formation of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO nanocomposite. The electrocatalytic activity of the Pt/CB-Ni-rGO electrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. It was determined that the appropriate amount of Pt enhanced the catalytic activity of Pt for oxalic acid electro-oxidation. Moreover, the modified electrode was determined to be highly selective for oxalic acid without interference from compounds commonly found in urine including uric acid and ascorbic acid. The chronoamperometric signal gave a wide linearity range of 20 μM-60 mM and the detection limit (3σ) was found to be 2.35 μM. The proposed method showed high selectivity, stability, and good reproducibility and could be used with micro-volumes of sample for the detection of oxalic acid. Finally, the oxalic acid content in artificial and control urine samples were successfully determined by our proposed electrode.

In order to improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), $TiO_2$ electrode screen-printed on transparent conducting oxide (TCO) substrate was sintered in variation with different temperature$(350\;to\;550^{\circ}C)$. $TiO_2$ electrode on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass was assembled with Pt counter electrode on FTO glass. I-V properties of DSSCs were measured under solar simulator. Also, effect of sintering temperature on surface morphology of $TiO_2$ films was investigated to understand correlation between its surface morphology and sintering temperature. Such surface morphology was observed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Below sintering temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, efficiency of DSSCs was relatively lower due to lower open circuit voltage. Oppositely, above sintering temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, efficiency of DSSCs was relatively higher due to higher open circuit voltage. In both cases, lower fill factor (FF) was observed. However, at sintering temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, both efficiency and fill factor of DSSCs were mutually complementary, enhancing highest fill factor and efficiency. Such results can be explained in comparison of surface morphology with schematic diagram of energy states on the $TiO_2$ electrode surface. Consequently, it was considered that optimum sintering temperature of a-terpinol included $TiO_2$ paste is at $500^{\circ}C$.

A scandium(III) porphyrin-based fluoride-selective potentiometric sensor and its application in the analysis of hydrofluoric acid is described. Scandium(III) octaethylporphyrin, an ionophore recently developed for the optical fluoride sensor, was employed as a host molecule for the selective binding with fluoride in the plasticized PVC membrane. Nernstian response for $F^-$ between $10^{-4.6}$ to $10^{-1}$ M was observed at a glycine-phosphate buffer (pH 3.0). The selectivity pattern was observed as $F^-$, salicylate $\gg$ $SCN^-$ > $Cl^-$, $Br^-$, $NO_3{^-}$, $ClO_4{^-}$, which is consistent with the binding constant data measured in the plasticized PVC membrane based on a sandwich membrane method. This highly selective and reversible fluoride-sensitive electrode was employed for the analysis of hydrofluoric acid (HF). A disposable differential-type HF sensor was fabricated on the screen-printed electrode and demonstrated its ability to detect the neutral HF in the acidic solution.

The development of non-precious metal based electrocatalysts is highly desired for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as alternates to noble metal based ORR electrocatalysts. Herein, we report mononulcear copper(II) complex $[CuLbpy]ClO_4$ (L=4-[(2-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl]benzoic acid) containing poly(allylamine.HCl) polymer (PAlACuLbpy) as an electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). PAlACuLbpy was mixed with poly(acrylic acid) and tetraethylortho silicate to prepare a composite and then deposited on the screen printed electrode surface. The modified electrode (PAlACuLbpy/PCE) is highly stable and showed a quasi-reversible redox behavior with $E_{1/2}=-0.2V$ vs. Ag/AgCl(3 M KCl) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7 under argon atmosphere. PAlACuLbpy/PCE exhibited a remarkable ORR activity with an onset potential of -0.1 V vs Ag/AgCl in 0.1 M PB (pH 7) in the presence of oxygen. The kinetics for ORR was studied by rotating disk voltammetry in neutral aqueous medium and the results indicated that the number of electrons involving in the ORR is four and the conversion products are water and hydrogen peroxide.

Carbon paste전극을 백금도금 한 후 이 전극을 사용한 일회용 전류법 glucose센서를 제작하였다. 전극에 시료용액을 가한 후, voltammetry을 이용하여 본 센서의 감응성을 연구하였다. screen printing된 carbon paste전극 표면 위에 전기도금 방법으로 도입된 백금은 센서의 분석성능과 mediator의 전기 화학적 가역성을 크게 향상시켜 준다. 제작된 센서가 $[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-/3-}$에 대한 heterogeneous rate constant는 $1.45\times10^{-2}cm{\cdot}s^{-1}$이며, 이 센서는 적용전위 0.3V vs. Ag/AgCl에서 glucose에 대한 좋은 감응성을 보여주었다. 이 때 glucose에 대한 Michaelis-Menten상수는 24.5mM이다. 일회용 glucose 스트립 센서의 분석성능을 평가하기 위하여 NOVA S.P. Ultra M analyzer와 비교실험을 수행하였다. 이 때 시료용액으로서 $80\~297 mg/dL$ 범위의 glucose를 함유하고 있는 30여 종류의 혈청을 사용하였고, 상관계수는 0.983으로서 정밀도와 정확도가 비교적 우수함을 보여주었다.
