  • Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite have attracted significant attention as a new revolutionary light absorber for photovoltaic device due to its remarkable characteristics such as long charge diffusion lengths (100-1000nm), low recombination rate, and high extinction coefficient. Recently, power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cell is above 20% that is approached to crystalline silicon solar cells. Planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells have simple device structure and can be fabricated low temperature process due to absence of mesoporous scaffold that should be annealed over 500 oC. However, in the planar structure, controlling perovskite film qualities such as crystallinity and coverage is important for high performances. Those controlling methods in one-step deposition have been reported such as adding additive, solvent-engineering, using anti-solvent, for pin-hole free perovskite layer to reduce shunting paths connecting between electron transport layer and hole transport layer. Here, we studied the effect of alkali metal halide to control the fabrication process of perovskite film. During the morphology determination step, alkali metal halides can affect film morphologies by intercalating with PbI2 layer and reducing $CH3NH3PbI3{\cdot}DMF$ intermediate phase resulting in needle shape morphology. As types of alkali metal ions, the diverse grain sizes of film were observed due to different crystallization rate depending on the size of alkali metal ions. The pin-hole free perovskite film was obtained with this method, and the resulting perovskite solar cells showed higher performance as > 10% of power conversion efficiency in large size perovskite solar cell as $5{\times}5cm$. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) are analyzed to prove the mechanism of perovskite film formation with alkali metal halides.

  • Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoparticles were prepared by the modified spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion method. Polymer solution was prepared by two water-soluble organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone. Because of its biocompatible nature, PEG-PPG diblock copolymer was used as surfactant and stabilizer. The influence of several preparative variables on the nanoparticle formation, such as type and concentration of stabilizing agent, stirring methods, water/oil phase ratio and polymer concentration were investigated in order to control and optimize the process. After preparation of nanoparticles, particle size and distribution were evaluated by the light scattering particle analyzer. As results, the particle size was 50-200 nm and dispersibility was monodisperse. It was found that the appropriate selections of binary solvent mixtures and polymeric concentrations in both organic and aqueous phases could provide a good yield and favorable physical properties of PLGA nanoparticles.

  • To acquire enhanced adsorption capacity for especially targeted VOCs, activated carbon fiber of which surface area was $1,100m^2/g$ was selected and active metals were loaded. After screening study, Cr and Cu were selected as a base metal for improving adsorption capacity of activated carbon fiber. For acquiring better performance, metal loading, loading temperature, loading hours and kinds of loaded metals were changed as preparing variables. Properties measurement and adsorption capacity evaluation were performed. We found that the best conditions for metal loading were 5 hours loading at $100^{\circ}C$ and the adsorption capacity was enhanced almost double. Also we confirmed that more than 0.5 seconds contact time is needed for best adsorbate diffusion and adsorption over activated carbon fiber.

  • The chemical behaviour of the Eu(Ⅲ) complexes with organic ligands(tris[3-(trifluoromethylhydroxymethylene-camphorato)]) and tris[3-heptafluoropropylhydroxymethylene-camphorato)] has been investigated by the UV/vis-spectrophotometric, magnetic, and electrochemcial methods. The two or three energy absorption bands are observed by the spectra of these complexes. The magnitude of crystal field splitting energy, the spin pair energy and strength were obtained from the spectra of the complexes. These complexes are found to be delocalization, low-spin state, and strong bonding strenth of electron configuration. The magnetic dipolemoment are found to be diamagnetic. The redox reaction processes of complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry in aprotic solvent. The redox reaction processes of complexes are turned out to be single or double reaction with respect to one electron diffusion current.

  • Antioxidant is an important role to protect the human body against damage by reactive oxygen species. However, the excessive intake of such antioxidant is known to cause a serious poisonous influence on one's liver, lungs and circulating system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a safe natural antioxidant. For the purpose of developing natural antioxidant and antibacterial, the antioxidant activity and antibacterial effects of various extract solvents from Artichoke (Cynara Scolymus L.) leaf were determined. In this study, the extracts of Artichoke leaf dried from solvent extraction were examined by means of DPPH free radical scavenging activity and ABTS free radical scavenging activity. The effect of free radical scavenging compared with $\alpha$-tocopherol and L-ascorbic acid. In Artichoke leaf extract, evaluated by using DPPH and ABTS showed that the highest antioxidant activities were found to be in methanol extracts from DPPH radical ($IC_{50}$: $20.06{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$), ABTS radical ($IC_{50}$: $16.01{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$) and followed by ethanol > methyl chloride > ethyl acetate > n-Hexane. By using disc diffusion method, the antibacterial activity showed that the Artichoke leaf extract was found to be most effective against all of the tested organisms and the methyl chloride extract showed the most significant antibacterial effect against all of tests among 5 solvents extract, followed by ethyl acetate > n-Hexane > ethanol > methanol. As a result, optimal in antioxidant activity for Artichoke (Cynara Scolymus L.) leaf is methanol extract and for antibacterial effect is Methyl Chloride extract.

  • In this study, PVC-LMO beads were prepared by immobilizing lithium manganese oxide (LMO) with poly vinyl chloride (PVC) diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent on behalf of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). XRD analysis confirmed that LMO was immobilized well in PVC-LMO beads. The diameter of PVC-LMO beads synthesized by DMSO was about 4 mm. The adsorption experiments of lithium ions by PVC-LMO beads were conducted batchwise. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir model was 21.31 mg/g. The adsorption characteristics of lithium ions by PVC-LMO beads was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. It was considered that the internal diffusion was the rate controlling step.

  • In the present study, Pebax-2533 plate membranes were prepared by drying precursor solutions which were obtained by dissolving Pebax-2533 polymer in 1-Propanol/n-Butanol mixed solvents. And then the $CO_2$ and $N_2$ permeation behaviors were tested by using a time-lag system. The prepared Pebax-2533 plate membranes showed a considerable $CO_2/N_2$ separation performance : the $CO_2$ permeability was 130 to 288 barr, and the $CO_2/N_2$ permselectivity was 5-8. The $CO_2$ permeation data obtained by varying feed pressure, permeation temperature, and solvent composition announced that not only the $CO_2$ sorption but also the $CO_2$ diffusion is equally important in the overall $CO_2$ permeation.

  • In the system of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/dimethyl sulfoxide, the refractive index of polymer was very well matched to that of solvent and thus its scattered intensity could be minimized. After adding small amount of polystyrene latex particle (nominal diameter 200 nm), diffusion behavior of only probe particle was investigated against the concentration of polymer matrix by means of dynamic light scattering. The polymer concentration dependence of its reduced diffusion coefficient was able to be analysed with the stretched exponential function of the reduced concentration $C[{\eta}]$. In very dilute concentration regime, the depletion layer kept constant but at the early semi-dilute regime of $1{\leq}C[{\eta}]{\leq}2.5$, the concentration-dependent exponent of depletion layer ${\delta}$ was appeared to be -0.8 which was very close to theoretical one of -0.85. However it was also observed at the higher concentration that its layer thickness decreased more abruptly than theoretical expectation and this phenomenon was ascribed to Oosawa type attractive interaction between adjacent latex particles.
