We investigated a synthesis yield and diameter distribution of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with respect to the growth position in a horizontal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber. Thin films and line-patterned Fe films (0.1 nm thickness) were prepared onto ST-cut quartz substrates as catalyst to compare the growth behavior. The line-patterned samples showed higher growth density and parallel alignment than those of the thin film catalyst samples. In addition, line density of the aligned SWNTs at central region of the chamber was 7.7 tubes/㎛ and increased to 13.9 tubes/㎛ at rear region of the CVD chamber. We expect that the enhanced amount of thermally decomposed feedstock gas may contribute to the growth yield enhancement at the rear region. In addition, the lamina flow in the chamber also contribute to the perfect alignment of the SWNTs based on the value of gas velocity, Reynold number, and Knudsen coefficient we employed.

SnNb2O6 nanoplates were prepared by a solvothermal synthesis with water and ethanol mixed solvent. For improvement of their properties, as-prepared SnNb2O6 nanoplates also were calcined. The prepared powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, Raman spectrometer, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The calcined nanoplates have a smaller surface area than the as-prepared nanoplates have. Nevertheless, in the case of the optical absorption properties, the calcined nanoplates could absorb more photon energy, due to their smaller band gaps. The Raman analysis revealed that the Nb-O bond length in the calcined nanoplates was longer than that in the as-prepared nanoplate. The higher optical absorption capability of the calcined nanoplates was attributed to the local structure variation within them. Furthermore the high crystallinity of the calcined nanoplates is effective in improving the generation of charge carriers. So, It was found that the calcined nanoplates exhibited superior photocatalytic activity for the evolution of H2 from an aqueous methanol solution than the as-prepared nanoplates under UV and visible irradiation. Therefore, the enhanced photocatalytic activity of the calcined nanoplate powder for H2 evolution was mainly attributed to its high crystallinity and improved optical absorption property resulting from the variation of the crystal structure.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films were prepared with RF-PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) method on coming glass and silicon substrates using methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gases. We examined the effects of $CH_4$ to $H_2$ ratios on tribological and optical properties of the DLC films. The structure and surface morphology of the films were examined using Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The hardness of the DLC film was measured with nano-indentor. The optical properties of DLC thin film were investigated by UV/VIS spectrometer and ellipsometry. And also, solar cells were fabricated using DLC as antireflection coating before and after coating DLC on silicon substrate and compared the efficiency.

Blocking layers with nano carbon blacks (NCBs) were prepared by adding 0.0 ~ 0.5 wt% NCBs to the $TiO_2$ blocking layer. Then, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were fabricated with a $0.45cm^2$ active area. TEM and micro-Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize the microstructure and phases of the NCBs, respectively. Optical microscopy and AFM were used to analyze the microstructure of the $TiO_2$ blocking layer with NCBs. UV-VIS-NIS spectroscopy was used to determine the band gap of the $TiO_2$ blocking layer with NCBs. A solar simulator and potentiostat were used to determine the photovoltaic properties and impedance of DSSCs with NCBs. The energy conversion efficiency (ECE) increased from 3.53 to 6.20 % when the NCB content increased from 0.0 to 0.3 wt%. This indicates that the effective surface area and electron mobility increased in the $TiO_2$ blocking layer with NCBs. However, the ECE decreased when the NCB content was increased to over 0.4 wt%. This change occurred because the effective electron transport area decreased with the addition of excessive NCBs to the $TiO_2$ blocking layer. The results of this study suggest that the ECE of DSSCs can be enhanced by adding the appropriate amount of NCBs to the $TiO_2$ blocking layer.

Synthesis of RGO (reduced graphene oxide)-CdS composite material was performed through CBD (chemical bath deposition) method in which graphene oxide served as the support and Cadmium Sulfate Hydrate as the starting material. Graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted extensive attention due to their usefulness for environmental and energy applications. The band gap (2.4 eV) of CdS corresponds well with the spectrum of sunlight because the crystalline phase, size, morphology, specic surface area and defects, etc., of CdS can affect its photocatalytic activity. The specific surface structure (morphology) of the photocatalyst can be effective for the suppression of recombination between photogenerated electrons and holes. Graphene (GN) has unique properties such as a high value of Young's modulus, large theoretical specific surface area, excellent thermal conductivity, high mobility of charge carriers, and good optical transmittance. These excellent properties make GN an ideal building block in nanocomposites. It can act as an excellent electron-acceptor/transport material. Therefore, the morphology, structural characterization and crystal structure were observed using various analytical tools, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. From this analysis, it is shown that CdS particles were well dispersed uniformly in the RGO sheet. Furthermore, the photocatalytic property of the resulting RGO-CdS composite is also discussed in relation to environmental applications such as the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. It was found that the prepared RGO-CdS nanocomposites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared with that of CdS nanoparticles. Therefore, better efficiency of photodegradation was found for water purification applications using RGO-CdS composite.

Graphite electrodes are used for secondary batteries, fuel cells, and super capacitors. Research is underway to increased the reaction area of graphite electrodes used carbon nanotube (CNT) and porous carbon. CNT is limited to device utilization in order to used a metal catalyst by lack of surface area to improve. In contrast carbon nanowall (CNW) is chemically very stable. So this paper, microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system was used to grow carbon nanowall (CNW) on Si substrate with methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gases. To find the growth properties of CNW according to the reaction gas ratio, we have changed the methane to hydrogen gas ratios (4:1, 2:1, 1:2, and 1:4). The vertical and surficial conditions of the grown CNW according to the gas ratios were characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Raman spectroscopy measurements showed structure variations.

본 연구에서는 폴리이미드(polyimide; PI) 막(film)의 열전도도를 향상시켜 그 응용성을 확대하고자, 정전기 방전법을 이용하여 흑연봉으로부터 그래핀을 제조하고 제조된 그래핀을 첨가하여 폴리아믹산(polyamic acid; PAA) 전구체로부터 200 ㎛두께의 폴리이미드 기반 열전도 막을 제조하였다. 정전기 방전 기법으로 생산된 그래핀은 라만, XPS, TEM 등을 이용하여 물성을 평가하였다. 제조된 그래핀은 라만 스펙트럼 분석 결과 ID/IG 값이 0.138이며, XPS 분석 결과 C/O 비율이 24.91로 구조적, 표면화학적으로 우수한 물성을 나타내었다. 또한, 흑연 박리 그래핀의 첨가량에 따라 폴리이미드 막의 열전도도는 지수함수적으로 증가하였으며, 그래핀 함량을 40% 초과 시에는 폴리이미드 막을 제조할 수 없었다. 그래핀을 폴리아믹산 중량 대비40 wt% 첨가하여 제조된 폴리이미드 막의 열원반(hot disk) 열전도도는 51 W/mK를 나타내었으며, 순수한 폴리이미드 막의 열전도도(1.9 W/mK)보다 크게 향상되었다. 이 결과는 정전기 방전기법으로 제조된 박리 그래핀의 우수한 물성에 기인한 것으로 판단된다.

Optically active nanostructures such as subwavelength moth-eye antireflective structures or surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) active structures have been demonstrated to provide the effective suppression of unwanted reflections as in subwavelength structure (SWS) or effective enhancement of selective signals as in SERS. While various nanopatterning techniques such as photolithography, electron-beam lithography, wafer level nanoimprinting lithography, and interference lithography can be employed to fabricate these nanostructures, roll-to-roll (R2R) nanoimprinting is gaining interests due to its low cost, continuous, and scalable process. R2R nanoimprinting requires a master to produce a stamp that can be wrapped around a quartz roller for repeated nanoimprinting process. Among many possibilities, two different types of mask can be employed to fabricate optically active nanostructures. One is self-assembled Au nanoparticles on Si substrate by depositing Au film with sputtering followed by annealing process. The other is monolayer silica particles dissolved in ethanol spread on the wafer by spin-coating method. The process is optimized by considering the density of Au and silica nano particles, depth and shape of the patterns. The depth of the pattern can be controlled with dry etch process using reactive ion etching (RIE) with the mixture of SF6 and CHF3. The resultant nanostructures are characterized for their reflectance using UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer (Agilent technology, Cary 5000) and for surface morphology using scanning electron microscope (SEM, JEOL JSM-7100F). Once optimized, these optically active nanostructures can be used to replicate with roll-to-roll process or soft lithography for various applications including displays, solar cells, and biosensors.

본 논문에서는 혼합가스 없이 메탄가스만을 사용하여 RF PECVD 방법으로 성장시킨 a-C 박막의 전계전자방출특성을 조사하였다. 또한 본 논문은 박막의 표면형태와 결정들의 결합구조가 어떻게 전계전자방출에 영향을 미치는가에 관하여 보고된다, a-C 박막의 전계전자방출특성은 증착온도에 크게 의존함이 확인되었다. 실온에서 성장된 카본박막의 문턱전압은 20 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$이었다. 그러나 증착온도가 $500^{\circ}C$로부터 $600^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 문턱전압은 17 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$에서 10 V/$\mu\textrm{m}$으로 감소하였으며 $800^{\circ}C$에서는 문턱전압이 B V/$\mu\textrm{m}$로 크게 개선되었다. 박막의 표면형태, 구조적인 특징과 전계전자방출특성의 관계를 조사하기 위해서 라만 스펙트럼과 주사형전자현미경 (scanning electron microscopy : SEM)을 사용하였다. 박막의 물리적, 화학적, 특성은 증착온도에 매우 의존하며 이들 특성들은 전계전자방출특성에 큰 영향을 미친다는 사실을 발견했다.
