Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanotemplates for nano electronic device applications have been attracting increasing interest because of ease of fabrication, low cost process, and possible fabrication in large area. The size and density of the nanostructured materials can be controlled by changing the pore diameter and the pole density of AAO nanotemplate. In this paper, nano porous alumina films AAO nanotemplate was fabricated by second anodization method using sputterd Al films. In addition, effects of electrolyte temperature and anodization voltate on the microstructure of porous alumina films were investigated. As the electrolyte temperature was increased from $8^{\circ}C$ to $20^{\circ}C$, the growth rate of nanoporous alumina films was increased from 86.2 nm/min to 179.5 nm/min. The AAO nanotemplate fabricated with optimal condition had the mean pore diameter of 70 nm and the pore depth of $1\;{\mu}m$.

In this study, the reflectivity characteristics of Ag nano-coating grown by electroless plating were investigated in order to use as the reflecting plate of BLU (Back Light Unit) in the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or LED (Light Emitting Diode) display equipment. The microstructure of Ag nano-coating was polycrystalline nano-structure that consisted of Ag nano-crystals to be reduced and precipitated, and the size of reduced nano-crystals increased as the thickness of nano-coating increased. The reflectivity of Ag nano-coating in the visible light decreased as the thickness of nano-coating increased and the reduction of reflectivity was more severe in the short wavelength region of visible light. The decrease of reflectivity was closely related to the size of Ag nano-crystal and was thought to be due to the larger surface roughness of larger nano-coating thickness. Therefore, the finer Ag nano-crystals and thinner nano-coating thickness could be favorable for the higher reflectivity of Ag nano-coating grown by electroless plating.

고표면적 다공성 금속 박막 형성 기술은 타겟에서 방출된 금속 원자들이 타겟 주변에서 서로 충돌하여 나노입자를 형성한 후 기판으로 입자를 이송시켜 나노 구조를 지니는 박막을 성장시키는 기술이다. 고표면적 다공성 금속 박막 형성 기술로 제작한 다공성 박막은 열린 기공 구조를 지니고 있기 때문에 외부 기체의 확산이 용이하고 비표면적이 높다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 특히 금속 공기 이차전지 등의 배터리의 경우 전극의 비표면적이 성능을 결정하는 중요한 인자이므로 금속판을 사용하는 경우 대비 비표면적이 높은 나노구조를 사용할 경우 용량 증대에 유리하다. 본 연구에서는 공정 압력, 공정 파워, 타겟과 기판과의 거리, 칠러 온도 등 증착 공정 변수를 제어하여 표면적이 높은 아연 나노 구조를 형성하였다. 이를 분석하기 위해 SEM을 이용하여 미세구조 및 두께를 관찰하였으며, 박막 증착 전후의 무게를 측정하여 기공률을 계산하였다. 또한 XRD 분석을 통하여 결정성 및 결정의 크기를 확인하였다. 이렇게 제작된 고표면적 다공성 Zn 금속박막을 응용하여 아연 전지 성능 평가를 진행하였다.

It is well Down that the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) using a transition metal catalyst is greatly enhanced in a nitrogen environment. We show here that the enhanced growth is closely related to the activated nitrogen and it's incorporation into the CNT wall and cap during growth. This behavior is consistent with theoretical calculations of CNx thin films, showing that nitrogen incorporation to the graphitic basal plane reduces the elastic strain energy for curving the graphitic layer. Enhanced CNT growth by nitrogen incorporation is thus due to a decrease in the activation energies required for nucleation and growth of the tubular graphitic layer.

Although thermoset carbon fiber composite bipolar plates not only have high mechanical properties but also high corrosion resistance in acid environment, high manufacturing cost and low bulk electrical conductivity are the biggest obstacle to overcome. In this research, thermoplastic polymer is employed for the matrix of carbon composite bipolar plate to increase both the manufacturing productivity and bulk electric conductivity of the bipolar plate. In order to increase the electrical conductivity and strength, plain type carbon fabric rather than chopped or unidirectional fibers is used. Also nano particles are embedded in the thermoplastic matrix to increase the bulk resistance of the bipolar plate. The area specific resistance and the mechanical strength of the developed bipolar plate are measured with respect to the environmental temperature and stack compaction pressure.

In this paper, we study a method of designing a reflector for LED light sources with an asymmetric light distribution. In a sports game, lighting with a symmetric distribution makes the athlete and spectators look directly at the light source, so it can cause glare. We derive the optimal tilt angle and design a reflector with asymmetric light distribution to solve these problems. Afterward, performance is analyzed according to the tennis-court lighting standard, and is confirmed to meet the class 1 European standard.

In this work, thin film type Cu/ZnO nanostructure catalysts were fabricated by several synthetic routes in order to maximize the performance of the micro reforming system. For this work, various Cu/ZnO nanostructure catalysts could be synthesized by means of four approaches which are chemical vapor method, wet solution method and their hybrid method. The reforming performance of these as-synthetic catalysts was evaluated as compared to the conventional catalysts. Among the as-synthetic nanostructures, sphere type catalysts with specific surface of $18.6m^2/g$ showed the best performance of hydrogen production rate of 30ml/min at the feed rate of 0.2ml/min. This work will give the first insight on thin film type Cu/ZnO nanostructure catalyst for micro reforming system for hydrogen production of portable electronic systems.
