[Li,La]$TiO_3$ 코팅용액의 pH를 조절하여 이에 따른 코팅된 $Li[Ni_{0.35}Co_{0.3}Mn_{0.35}]O_2$ 양극활물질의 전기화학적 특성을 관찰하였다. 산화물인 양극분말은 접촉하고 있는 용액의 pH에 따라 표면 전하를 띄게 되는데 양이온인 코팅물질을 균일하게 반응시키기 위해서는 적절한 pH 조절을 통해 양극분말 표면을 음전하 상태로 조절해 주는 것이 필요하다. SEM, TEM 분석을 통해 코팅용액의 pH에 따른 코팅층의 형상변화를 관찰하였으며 다양한 전류밀도로 충전과 방전을 실시하여 코팅용액의 pH에 따른 방전용량, 사이클 특성, 고율특성을 분석하였다. 임피던스잴 cyclic voltammogram 측정을 통해 코팅용액의 pH에 따른 코팅층의 내부저항 변화를 관찰하였으며 이것을 전기화학적 특성과 연관됨을 확인하였다.

Extensive work has been done on investigating the inner cell pressure characteristics of sealed type Ni-MH battery in which Zr-Ti-Mn-V-Ni alloy is used as anode. The inner cell pressure of this type Ni-MH battery much more increases with the charge/discharge cycling than that of the other type Ni-MH battery where commercialized $AB_5$ type alloy is used as anode. The increase of inner cell pressure in the sealed type Ni/MH battery using Zr-Ti-Mn-V-Ni alloy system is mainly due to the accumulation of oxygen gas during charge/discharge cycling. The accumulation of oxygen gas arises mainly due to the low rate of oxygen recombination on the MH electrode surface during charge/discharge cycling. The difference of oxygen recombination rate between $AB_5$ type electrode and Zr-Ti-Mn-V-Ni electrode is caused by the difference of electrode reaction surface area resulting from different particle size after their activation and the difference of surface catalytic activity for oxygen recombination reaction, respectively. After EIS analysis, it is identified that the surface catalytic activity affects much more dominantly on the oxygen recombination reaction than the reaction surface area does. In order to suppress the inner cell pressure of Ni-MH battery where Zr-Ti-Mn-V-Ni is used as anode, it is suggested that the surface catalytic activity for oxygen recombination should be improved.

aluminum sulfate (alum) as a representative retention aid in papermaking processes was added to pulp suspensions, and the aluminum components adsorbed on the pulp were investigated quantitatively by two types of X-ray elementary analyses with regard to simultaneous changes of their surface charges. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XFA) were applied to determine the aluminum components retained in pulp pads up to ca. 10 nm and 100${\mu}$m depth, respectively. In other words, XPS was utilized to analyze the outermost surface layers of the samples, and XFA was available for measurement of their extensive regions. A particle charge detector (PCD) was used to monitor streaming potentials at various pHs of the pulp mixtures under moderate sharing conditions. At pH 4.5 of pulp suspensions containing alum, surface charges of pulp fibers varied from negative to slight negative (approximately neutral) according to adsorption of aluminum components onto the pulp fibers. Subsequently, when a dilute NaOH solution in limited amounts was added to pulp mixtures, both streaming potentials and surface aluminum content of the pulp fibers increased distinctly although little total aluminum retention increased. Further addition of alkali solutions brought drastic decreases of the surface charges and surface aluminum content, while total aluminum content, on the contrary, increased gradually under neutral conditions. These results indicate that residual aluminum ions remained in pulp suspensions are predominantly adsorbed on surfaces of pulp fibers by adequate alkali additions and they must sufficiently cationize the fiber surfaces with increases of somewhat cationic aluminum complexes formed on the surfaces. On the other hand, aluminum components formed in higher pH ranges have nearly no contribution to improvement of charge properties of the pulp fiber surfaces, even though aluminum retention in pulp pads increases. XPS and XFA analyses combined with streaming potential measurement using a PCD suggest close relationships between aluminum content on the pulp fiber surfaces and their charge properties.

금속 전극 위에 유기물 채널을 증착하여 만드는 바닥 전극 구조의 유기물 박막 트랜지스터에서 전극 표면이 거친 정도에 따라 전하 주입이 어떻게 달라지는지 조사했다. 금 전극을 실리콘 기판에 증착하고, 가열하여 금 전극 표면을 거칠게 만들었다. 그리고 펜터신과 상부 전극으로 사용할 금 전극을 차례대로 증착하여 금 전극/펜터신/금 전극 구조를 만들었다. 펜터신 증착 초기에는 거친 금 전극 위에서 펜터신 증착핵이 더 많이 보였지만, 막이 두꺼워지면 가열되지 않은 전극과 가열로 거칠어진 전극에서 펜터신 표면 모양에 차이가 거의 없었다. 온도를 바꾸면서 측정한 전류-전압 곡선은 바닥 전극의 표면이 거칠수록 바닥계면의 전위장벽이 높음을 보여주었다. 이 현상은 금속 표면이 거칠수록 일함수가 낮아지며 펜터신과 거친 전극 표면의 경계에 전하 트랩이 더 많기 때문으로 생각된다.

In this study, we propose the application of doping process technology for atmospheric pressure plasma. The plasma treatment means the wafer is warmed via resistance heating from current paths. These paths are induced by the surface charge density in the presence of illuminating Argon atmospheric plasmas. Furthermore, it is investigated on the high-concentration doping to a selective partial region in P type solar cell wafer. It is identified that diffusion of impurities is related to the wafer temperature. For the fixed plasma treatment time, plasma currents were set with 40, 70, 120 mA. For the processing time, IR(Infra-Red) images are analyzed via a camera dependent on the temperature of the P type wafer. Phosphorus concentrations are also analyzed through SIMS profiles from doped wafer. According to the analysis for doping process, as applied plasma currents increase, so the doping depth becomes deeper. As the junction depth is deeper, so the surface resistance is to be lowered. In addition, the surface charge density has a tendency inversely proportional to the initial phosphorus concentration. Overall, when the plasma current increases, then it becomes higher temperatures in wafer. It is shown that the diffusion of the impurity is critically dependent on the temperature of wafers.

Recently, researches for droplet impact phenomena have been faced a new phase in the direction of studying the effect of complex external conditions (e.g. wettability, temperature, morphology, electric field, etc.) for depth understanding and precise controlling in various applications. Hence, here we investigated the electrified droplet impact phenomena, because there were few quantitative researches for electrified droplet impact when we considering many real applications such as electrospray, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing. To observe interaction effect of surface charge between substrate and droplet simultaneously, micro-droplets with various Reynolds number (Re) and Weber number (We) were dripped on super-hydrophobic surface with existence and nonexistence of electrical surface charge. It shows three kinds of impact behaviors, fully bouncing, partial bouncing, and splashing with different We. Also, charged droplet bounced higher on electrically charged surface than on non-charged surface. Additionally, transition regions of three impact behaviors were classified quantitatively with water hammer pressure value, which means instant pressure inside droplet at the impact moment.

An amphiphilic nitroxide radical(2,2'6,6'-tetramethyl-4-octadecyioxy-1-piperidinyloxyl, TEMOPO) or mixture of TEMOPO and arachidic acid(Icosanoic acid, AA), was spread on water surface by the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) method and surface pressure-area curve was measured. Such monolayer films of TEMOPO were transferred onto surfaces of photo transferable tin oxide electrodes(PTTO) by the LB method under various surface pressure with the transfer ratio of larger than 0.95 at the surface pressure higher than 15mN/m. The electrochemical effect of functional nitroxy radical monolayer onto semi-conductive electrode to electrolyte have been investigated by using LB method. Cyclic voltammetry technique was used for the electrochemical behavior measurement of TEMOPO monolayer onto the PTTO in 0.18 mo1/$dm^3$ $H_2SO_4$ solutions. The shape of voltammograms was found to change from one electrode to another. The amount of charge for the oxidation and the re-reduction of the cation to TEMOPO were evaluated from graphical integration. The amounts of charge were always smaller than those predicted from the $\pi$-$\sigma$ curves though the transfer ratio was unity. The poor reproducibility of the cyclic voltammograms was improved by the mixing with AA. Structure and arrangement of monomolecular layer on water surface and electrode were studied. Characteristics of monolayer film applied for the mediation reaction was also discussed by electrochemical method.

A classical Lippmann equation valid for liquid electrodes can not describe the interfacial properties of solid electrodes due to the elastic surface strain on solid electrodes. Although there have been many attempts to derive the thermodynamic equations for solid electrodes Outing the past few decades, their validity has been still questioned by many researchers. In practice, although there are various experimental techniques to measure surface energy of solid electrodes, the results obtained by each technique are rather inconsistent due to the complexity of the surface strain on solid electrodes. This article covers these controversial issues in surface energy of solid electrodes. After giving brief summaries of the definition of the important thermodynamic parameters and the derivation of the thermodynamic equations for solid electrodes, the several experimental methods were introduced for the measurement of surface energy of solid electrodes. And then we discussed in detail the inconsistent results in the measurement of the potential of zero charge (pac) and the potential of electrocapillary maximum (ecm).

유기광도전체에 있어서의 액정은 종래의 분자 배향성을 가지지 않는 비정성 고체계와는 달리 분자 배향성을 가지기 때문에 분자 사이의 질서도가 높아지게 되고, charge-carrier의 hopping을 방해하는 hopping site의 공간적인 틈이 작아져 고 이동도의 특성을 가질수 있다. 본 연구에서는 유기광도전체의 전하 수송층에 액정5CT를 혼합하여, charge-carrier수송특성에 있어서의 액정5CT의 영향을 관찰하였다. 액정5CT를 함유한 유기광도전체는 액정의 혼합비가 증가함에 따가 초기전위는 증가하였으며, 암감쇄는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 감도는 5CT를 TNF와 OXD 각자에 대하여 40 wt%로 혼합한 시료의 경우에 가장 우수하게 나타났다. 형광거동을 관찰한 결과, 이는 전하수송재료와 액정5CT의 전하 수송착체에 의한 것으로, 액정5CT를 TNF와 OXD 각각에 대하여 40 wt%로 혼합한 시료의 경우가 다른 시료에 비해 전하 수송착체가 가장 잘 형성되어, 성공을 잘 수송하기 때문으로 나타났다.
