Hydrogen is eco-friendly alternative energy source and the photoelectrochemical water splitting is believed to be one of the promising methods for hydrogen production. Many researchers have studied several potential photocatalysts to increase the photoelectochemical performance efficiency for hydrogen conversion. In this study, the GO (graphene oxide) was prepared by Tour's method and was dispersed in precursor solutions of $WO_3$ and $BiVO_4$. Those precursor solutions were spin-coated on FTO glass and several photocatalyst thin films of $WO_3$, $BiVO_4$ and $WO_3/BiVO_4$ were prepared by calcination. The morphologies of prepared photocatalyst thin films were measured by scanning electron microscope. The photoelectrochemical performances of photocatalyst thin films with rGO (reduced graphene oxide) and without rGO were analyzed systematically.

n-type 반도체의 성질을 가지고 있는 $TiO_2$는 화학적 안정성, 3.2 eV의 밴드갭 에너지 등에 의하여 다양한 형태의 에너지 변환 및 저장 소재로 많이 연구되어지고 있다. 특히, Fujishima-Honda의 발견에 의한 광촉매적 특성은 $TiO_2$의 가장 대표적인 응용 분야라 할 수 있다. 이런 $TiO_2$는 솔-겔, 수열합성법, 침전법 등의 화학적 방법을 통하여 제조 한다. 하지만 이런 방법은 $TiO_2$를 전극으로 사용하기 위한 추가적인 공정이 필수적일 뿐 아니라 그 구조를 제어하기가 쉽지 않다. 이에 약 10여 년 전부터 많은 연구자, 과학자들은 금속 기판위에 $TiO_2$를 형성하는 양극산화 법에 대한 관심을 가지고 꾸준히 연구되어져 왔다. 양극산화법을 통한 $TiO_2$는 그 조건에 따라 박막, 기공(포어)구조, 튜브 구조 및 다양한 나노 구조를 형성할 수 있게 한다. 그렇지만 대표적인 구조는 기공간의 공간을 유지하는 나노 튜브의 형태라 할 수 있다. $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브를 형성하기 위해서는 극미량의 fluoride 이온이 첨가된 전해질에서 이루어진다고 알려져 왔다. 본 발표에서는 이런 전해질의 조건에 따른 나노튜브 구조의 변화를 보고 그 변화에 따른 광전기화학적 차이점에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

Hydrogen is clean and renewable, and recognized as a very promising energy resource to solve both depletion of petroleum and environmental problems caused by the use of fossil fuels. Extensive researches have been performed worldwide on the production technologies of hydrogen. In this paper, the technology trend of photo-electrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production was scrutinized based on the patent and paper analysis. Open/registered patents of US, JP, EP, and KR and SCI Journals related to the PEC hydrogen production technology between 1996~2010 were reviewed. Patents and papers were gathered by using the key-words searching method and filtered by desirable filtering criteria. The technology trend was discussed by classifying each patent and paper based on the publishing year, country, and organization, and analyzing the core patents and papers.

There is growing interest in sustainable energy sources that can reduce fossil fuel dependence and environmental pollution while meeting rapidly growing energy demands. Hydrogen have been investigated as one of the ideal alternative energies because it has relatively high efficiency without emitting pollutants. The light-sensitized enzymatic (LSE) system, which uses hydrogenase-enzymes, is one of the methods towards economically feasible system configurations that enhance the rate of hydrogen generation. Hydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes a reversible reaction that oxidizes molecular hydrogen or produces molecular hydrogen from protons and electrons. In this paper, utilization of [NiFe]-hydrogenase (from Pyrococcus furiosus) in photoelectrochemical hydrogen production system such as handling, immobilization, physicochemical and electrochemical analysis, process parameters, etc. was introduced.

Nanomaterial architecture with highly ordered, vertically oriented $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays shows a good promise for diverse technological applications. As inspired from the literature reports that Nickel modification can improve the photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$, it was planned to coat Ni into the $TiO_2$ matrix. In this study, first $TiO_2$ nanotubes(TiNTs) were prepared by anodization (60V,3min) in HF-free aqueous electrolyte on ultrasonically cleaned polished titanium sheet substrates ($1{\times}7cm^2$). The typical thickness of the sintered TiNT ($500^{\circ}C$for10min) was ~1 micronas confirmed from the FESEM study. In the next part, as-anodized and sintered TiNT/Ti photoanodes were used to coat Ni by AC electrodeposition from aqueous 0.1M nickel sulphate solution. During AC electrodeposition, conditions such as 1V DC offset voltage, 9V amplitude (peak-to-peak) and 750 Hz frequency were fixed constant and the deposition time was varied as 0.5 min, 1 min, 2 min and 10 min. The photoelectrochemical performance of pristine and Ni modified TiNT/Ti photoanodes was measured in 1N NaOH electrolyte under 1 SUN illumination in the potential range of -1V and 1.2V versus Ag/AgCl reference electrode. The photocurrent performance of TiNT/Ti photoanode decreased upon Ni modification and the results were confirmed after repeated experiments. This suggests us that Ni modification inhibits the photoelectrochemical performance of $TiO_2$ nanotubes.

Cadmium selenide is one of the group IIb-VI compounds, which is the promising semiconductor material due to its wide range of technological applications in optoelectronic devices such as photoelectrochemical cells, solid state solar cells, thin film photoconductors etc. CdSe has optical band gap of 1.7-1.8eV and proper conduction band edge for water splitting. CdSe films are coated with small thickness(20-50nm) nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ film by electrodeposition or chemical bath deposition methods and PEC properties of CdSe and CdSe/$TiO_2$ sandwich structure are studied. The photoactivity of CdSe and CdSe/$TiO_2$ films deposited on titanium substrate is studied in aqueous electrolyte of 1M NaOH solution. Photocurrent and photovoltage obtained were of the order of 2-4 mA/$cm^2$ and 0.5V, respectively, under the intensity of illumination of 100 mW/$cm^2$.

광전기화학쎌, ITO/SnO$2$/rose bengal, NaClO$4$/Pt을 이용하여 들뜬 rose bengal로부터 박막 반도체 SnO$2$의 전도띠로 주입되는 전류의 크기를 조사하였다. 초감응제로써 urea를 첨가하여 광조사 시간의 경과에 따라 광전류는 증가하다가 일정시간 후에는 계속 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다. Urea를 포함하고 있는 염료용액을 분광학적인 방법으로 분석한 결과, 광화학 반응으로 염료의 농도는 시간에 따라 감소하지만 염료회합(dye aggregation)이 전류의 증가와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

들뜬 rhodamine B로부터 박막반도체 $SnO_2$의 전도띠로 주입되는 광전류를 여러 가지의 초감응체가 존재하는 용액에서 시간에 따라 조사하였다. ascorbic acid를 초감응체로 쓰면 그것의 농도, 용액의 pH, 그리고 $SnO_2$에 걸어주는 전위 등이 증가함에 따라 광전류가 대체로 증가하였으나, 전위가 노팡짐에 따라 암전류도 증가하였다. 반면에 KI를 초감응제로 사용하면 낮지만 비교적 안정한 전류를 보여주었다. 용매효과를 포함하여 이들 광감응전류를 증가시키는 원인을 규명해 보았다.
