Electrochemical Quartz Crystal microbalance is a tool that is capable of measuring nanogram-scale mass change on electrode surface. When applying alternating voltage to the quartz crystal with metal electrode formed on both sides, a resonant frequency by inverse piezoelectric effect depends on its thickness. The resonant frequency changes sensitively by mass change on its electrode surface; frequency increase with metal dissolution and decrease with metal deposition on the electrode surface. The relationship between resonant frequency and mass change is shown by Sauerbrey equation so that the mass change during metal dissolution can be measured in real time. Especially, it is effective in the case of reaction mechanism and rate studies accompanied by precipitation, volatilization, compound formation, etc. resulting in difficulties on ex-situ AA or ICP analysis. However, it should be carefully considered during EQCM experiments that temperature, viscosity, and hydraulic pressure of solution, and stress and surface roughness can affect on the resonant frequency. Application of EQCM was shown as a case study on leaching of platinum using aqueous chlorine for obtaining activation energy. A platinum electrode of quartz crystal oscillator with 1000 Å thickness exposed to solution was used as leaching sample. Electrogenerated chlorine as oxidant was purged and its concentration was controlled in hydrochloric acid solution. From the experimental results, platinum dissolution by chlorine is chemical reaction control with activation energy of 83.5 kJ/mol.

현재 결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 전 후면 전극의 형성은 스크린 프린팅 방법이 주를 이루고 있다. 스크린 프린팅 방법은 쉽고 빠르게 인쇄가 가능한 반면 단가가 높고 금속 페이스트에 첨가된 여러 혼합물에 의해서 전극과 기판 사이의 저항이 크다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 도금을 이용하여 태양전지의 전극을 형성한 후 태양전지의 전기적 특성을 비교하였다. 또한 단일반사방지막($SiN_x$) 증착 후 도금을 이용한 전극 형성 시 반사방지막의 pin-hole에 의해 전극 이외의 표면에 도금이 되는 ghost plating 현상이 발생하게 되는데, 이를 방지하기 위해 thermal oxidation을 이용하여 SiO2/SiNx 이중반사 방지막을 증착함으로써 ghost plating을 최소화 시켰다. Ni을 이용하여 전극과 기판 사이의 저항을 낮추었으며, 주요 전극은 Cu 도금을 사용함으로써 단가를 낮추었으며 마지막으로 Cu전극의 산화를 방지하기 위해 Ag을 이용하여 얇게 도금하였다. 실험에 사용된 Si 웨이퍼 특성은 p-형, $156{\times}156mm2$, $200{\mu}m$, $0.5{\sim}3.0{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 이다. 웨이퍼는 표면조직화, p-n접합 형성, 반사방지막 코팅을 하였으며 스크린 프린팅 방법을 이용해 후면 전극을 인쇄하고 열처리 과정을 통해 전극을 형성하였다. 이 후 전면에 레이저를 이용해 전극 패턴을 형성한 후 도금을 실행하여 태양전지를 완성하였다. 완성된 태양전지는 솔라 시뮬레이터, QE 및 TLM패턴을 이용하여 전기적 특성을 분석하였으며, SEM과 linescan, 광학현미경 등을 이용하여 전극을 분석하였다.

Graphite and carbonaceous materials showed an excellent capability as a negative electrode in Li-ion batteries because Li-ion can be intercalated and de-intercalated reversibly within most carbonaceous materials of layered structure. Also, the electrochemical potential of Li-intercalated carbon anode is almost identical with that of Li metal. In the present study, mesocarbon microbeads(MCMB) were used as anode electrode and its properties of charge/discharge and interfacial reaction with electrolyte were studied by Potentiostat/Galvanostat test, FT-IR analysis, XRD and SEM. The passivation film of solid-state was formed as the interface between electrode and electrolyte as the cell reaction began and, once formed, became thicker with repeated charge/discharge process. Also, the relationship between the passivation film formed at the electrode interface and storage capacity was discussed.

New thin-and diselena-crown ethers containing two suffer and selenium donor atoms have been prepared. And then, mercury ($Hg^{2+}$) ion-selective electrodes with PVC-plasticizer (STPB) based on some macrocycles as neutral carriers were also made. The electrochemical selectivities for various ions, and the effects for macrocycles, matrix of membranes, ratio of plasticizer to macrowcles, concentration and pH of test solution were investigated on the $Hg^{2+}$ ion-selective electrodes. The 1, 10-diselena-18-crown-6-PVC-STPB (sodium tetraphenylborate) exhibited good linear responses of ${28.2}\pm{0.6}$ decade-1 for $Hg^{2+}$ ion in the conientration ranges of $10^{-2}~10^{-6}$ M $Hg^{2+}$ ion. This electrode exhibited comparatively good selectivities for $Hg^{2+}$ ion in comparison with alkali and alkaline earth metal ions, some heavy metal ions and rare earth metal ion in the range of pH 2.5~6.0. In addition, this electrode was applied as a sensor in the titration of $Hg^{2+}$ ion with $1^-$ ion in water.

Cyclic voltammetry has been applied in the basic studies for the treatment and recovery of heavy metal component contained in wastewater by electrochemical reduction. The electrochemical behaviors of zinc ion for zinc metal electrode and carbon elec-trode were characterized by voltammograms and it was showed that zinc ions were reduced to metallic form below -0.76 V vs SHE. The change in the features of crystalline form of metallic zinc upon oxidation and reduction reaction was observed by X-ray diffraction method and the Am analysis verified that zinc ions were reduced to metal on copper plate. The results of this study were regarded to be important and meaningful in the treatment of heavy metal containing wastewater and, as a result, in the obtainment of metallic product by electrochemical method.

3족 질화물은 우수한 광학 특성과 특히 3족 물질의 조성비 조절로 넓은 대역의 밴드갭 엔지니어링으로 발광다이오드의 물질로 각광 받고 있다. 이와 더불어 발광다이오드의 광추출효율을 향상시키기 위해 다양한 연구들이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그 연구 중 하나로 나노, 마이크로 사이즈의 막대와 같은 일차원적 구조와 최근 ITO를 활용한 투명 전극을 대체하여 전도도가 100배 정도 높은 금속을 이용한 옆면 접촉 전극을 도입한 것이 최근 발표되었다. 그러나 옆면 접촉 전극을 형성하기 위해서는 기존의 약 100 nm 정도의 두께의 p-형질화갈륨층은 공정 마진 등에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 기존에 비해 두꺼운 p-형 질화갈륨층이 필요하다. 보통 상용화된 유기 금속화학 증착법을 이용한 p-형 질화갈륨층은 도핑 물질인 Mg의 낮은 활성화와 성장 분위기 중 수소로 인해 양질의 것을 얻기 어렵고 이를 위해 성장 후 추가적인 활성화가 필요하다. 따라서 두꺼워진 p-형 질화갈륨층에 대해서도 기존의 성장 조건과 활성화 조건의 적합 여부와 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 양질의 p-형 질화갈륨을 얻기 위하여 성장 조건 및 성장 후 급속 열처리 온도, 시간에 대한 최적화와 약 630 nm 두께의 p-형 갈륨질화층을 가지는 발광다이오드에 대해 급속 열처리 조건에 대한 특성 연구를 실시한다.

Membrane electrode based on chitin(po1y-[$1{\rightarrow}4$]-${\beta}$-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) was prepared by mixing uniformly grounded of chitin (100 mesh) with PVC and DOS. We investigated the potential response of chitin membrane electrode to metal ions. It was observed that the response slopes for $Cd^{2+}$(34.9 mV/decade) and $Cu^{2+}$(34.0 mV/decade) were larger than those for other ions in pH 4 acetate buffer. The potentiometric response of chitin electrode to varying pH was nearly constant in the pH range of 2~12.

산화물유전체/금속/산화물유전체(D/M/D) 구조의 투명전극은 우수한 통전성과 투광성을 갖는 동시에 근적외선 및 전자파 차폐가 가능하여 각종 디스플레이 장치로의 응용을 위해 많은 연구가 진행 중이다. 이러한 구조의 다층막의 경우 금속층과 산화물층간 계면에서의 산소확산으로 인한 광학적, 전기적 특성 저하가 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 층간 산소확산방지를 통해 다층막의 전기적 특성을 개선하기 위해 $TiO_2$/Ag/$TiO_2$, $TiO_2$/ZnS/Ag/ZnS/$TiO_2$ 구조의 다층막을 DC/RF 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 제조하여 ZnS 박막이 다층막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 비교 평가하였다. 제조된 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 계면 특성을 4-point probe, Spctrophotometer, AES을 이용하여 분석하였으며 PDP필터용 전극으로의 적용 가능성을 평가하였다.
