We manufactured photoelectrode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) by using three methods such as squeeze method, spray method, and combination method (squeeze method first, spray method second). We examined how the morphology of an electrode's surface, the pore between particles, and condensation have an effect on an open-circuit voltage, photocurrent, fill factor, and energy conversion efficiency. Open-circuit voltage of dye-sensitized solar cells manufactured by using three methods is about 0.66V when the photoelectrode of the three DSCs is about $5{\mu}m$ thick. Photocurrent and fill factor and conversion efficiency of DSC manufactured by using squeeze method is 18.5 and 34 and 7.8, respectively. Photocurrent and fill factor and conversion efficiency of DSC manufactured by using spray method is 3.62 and 62 and 2.8, respectively. Photocurrent and fill factor and conversion efficiency of DSC manufactured by using combination method is 10.7 and 46 and 5.9, respectively. In conclusion, we find that the combination method is better than the other two methods in such respects as energy conversion efficiency and fill factor.

$TiO_2$ nano-particle paste was prepared by ethyl cellulose, $\alpha$-terpineol and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (dioxcyl phthalate) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Dispersion and absorbance of $TiO_2$ photoanode films was controlled by adding different amount of ethyl cellulose and $\alpha$-terpineol. The morphology of prepared $TiO_2$ films was studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and the optical properties of $TiO_2$ films were measured by UV/vis spectra. Photovoltaic-current density was observed to determine the electrochemical response of DSSCs. Energy conversion efficiency was obtained about 7.1% at ethyl cellulose and $\alpha$-terpineol at optimal mixed ratio (as ethyl cellulose: 0.1 g; $\alpha$-terpineol: 1.5 ml) under illumination with AM 1.5($100\;Wcm^{-2}$) simulated sunlight.

기후 변화가 심해짐에 따라 한반도의 기후 또한 온대에서 아열대로 변화하고 있다. 기후대가 변하게 되면 수문학적 순환 및 식생의 분포 또한 달라지게 된다. 식생의 분포는 결국 토지 이용을 의미하며, 서로 다른 토지 이용은 대기와의 상호작용을 통해 각기 다른 반응을 보이게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기후대가 가장 빠르게 변화하고 있는 제주도를 대상으로 기후 변화 및 토지 이용 변화에 따른 생태수문학적 영향을 Ecosystem Demography Model version 2.2(ED-2.2) 모형을 사용하여 살펴 본다. 제주도의 플럭스 타워 및 산림 조사 자료를 활용하여 ED-2.2 모형을 검증하였다. CRU-NCEP 기상자료 및 Land-Use Harmonization (LUH) 토지이용자료를 활용하여 과거기간(1500~2015)의 잠재 식생 및 실제 식생 상태를 산정하고 그 차이를 분석하였다. 산정된 최종 실제 식생 상태를 바탕으로 기후 및 토지이용 시나리오(RCP 3.0 및 6.0)를 적용하고, 다양한 전지구모형(GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, MIROC5)의 기상자료에 따라 물 순환, 탄소 순환 및 식생의 분포가 어떻게 달라지는 지 분석한다.

High performance lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have attracted considerable attention as essential energy sources for high-technology electrical devices such as electrical vehicles, unmanned drones, uninterruptible power supply, and artificial intelligence robots because of their high energy density (150-250 Wh/kg), long lifetime (> 500 cycles), low toxicity, and low memory effects. Of the high-performance LIB components, cathode materials have a significant effect on the capacity, lifetime, energy density, power density, and operating conditions of high-performance LIBs. This is because cathode materials have limitations with respect to a lower specific capacity and cycling stability as compared to anode materials. In addition, cathode materials present difficulties when used with LIBs in electric vehicles because of their poor rate performance. Therefore, this study summarizes the structural and electrochemical properties of cathode materials for LIBs used in electric vehicles. In addition, we consider unique strategies to improve their structural and electrochemical properties.

This study investigates the viability of using a Na-ion battery with a tin(Sn) anode to mitigate the vulnerability caused by volume changes during discharge and charge cycling. In general, the volume changes of carbon material do not cause any instability during intercalation into its layer structure. Sn has a high theoretical capacity of $847mAh\;g^{-1}$. However, it expands dramatically in the discharge process by alloying Na-Sn, placing the electrode under massive internal stress, and particularly straining the binder over the elastic limit. The repeating strain results in loss of active material and its electric contact, as well as capacity decrease. This paper expands the scope of fabrication of Na-ion batteries with Sn by fabricating the binder as an auxetic structure with a unique feature: a negative Poisson ratio (NPR), which increases the resistance to internal stress in the Na-Sn alloying/de-alloying processes. Electrochemical tests and micrograph images of auxetic and common binders are used to compare dimensional and structural differences. Results show that the capacity of an auxetic-structured Sn electrode is much larger than that of a Sn electrode with a common-structured binder. Furthermore, using an auxetic structured Sn electrode, stability in discharge and charge cycling is obtained.

기후 변화의 수자원 영향 평가에서 전지구모형이 갖는 불확실성이나 이산화탄소 배출 등의 시나리오별 불확실성에 대해서는 많은 연구가 진행되어져 왔으나, 외부의 변화가 아닌 지구 시스템상의 내부 변화에 대한 자연적인 변동성에 대해서는 상대적으로 연구가 미흡한 상태이다. 대표적인 내적 변동성의 예시로 엘리뇨 또는 라니뇨 현상을 들 수 있으며, 일정 영역 해수의 온도 변화에 따른 순환정도가 전세계적으로 큰 영향 (태풍, 가뭄, 홍수 등)을 주는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 유역에서의 침식 및 퇴적 현상에서도 기후변화에서와 비슷한 내적변동성의 영향이 관찰되어지나, 과거의 대부분의 연구는 외적변동성의 영향에만 집중되어 왔다. 가장 빈번하게 발생하는 예로, 토양 표면의 미묘한 변화 (aggregation, dispersion, shielding, crusting 등)때문에 같은 양의 강우 또는 유출이 발생하는 경우라도 같은 양의 침식량이 발생하지 않는 현상을 들 수 있다. 여기에서 다루어지는 침식량의 '다름'은 같은 지역에서라도 적게는 수십배에서 크게는 수백배까지 예측량이 다를 수 있음을 뜻한다. 이러한 다름이 그동안 수자원/지질학을 연구하는 학자 및 실무자로 하여금 수치모델을 적용하고 예측하는 것을 어렵게 했던 원인이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 기후 변화가 가져올 수자원의 영향 평가를 수행할 것이다. 관심있는 기후변화 변수로서 기온 및 강수량을 시간단위로 상세화할 것이며, 변화한 기후의 영향을 평가할 수자원의 현상으로는 증발산, 토양수분량, 유출량, 하천에서의 수심 및 첨두량, 침식량 등을 고려할 것이다. 물리현상을 모의하기 위해, 유역기반의 수리, 수문, 침식 및 퇴적 현상을 동시에 계산할 수 있는 통합모델을 개발하였고 적용하였다. 여기에서 얻은 결과로부터 내적 변동성이 수자원 현상에 미치는 불확실성을 확률통계적인 기법을 이용하여 정량화할 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, multilayered SnO nanoparticles are prepared using oleylamine as a surfactant at 165℃. The physical and chemical properties of the multilayered SnO nanoparticles are determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Interestingly, when the multilayered SnO nanoparticles are heated at 400℃ under argon for 2 h, they become more efficient anode materials, maintaining their morphology. Heat treatment of the multilayered SnO nanoparticles results in enhanced discharge capacities of up to 584 mAh/g in 70 cycles and cycle stability. These materials exhibit better coulombic efficiencies. Therefore, we believe that the heat treatment of multilayered SnO nanoparticles is a suitable approach to enable their application as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries.

This study compares the characteristics of a compact TiO₂ (c-TiO₂) powdery film, which is used as the electron transport layer (ETL) of perovskite solar cells, based on the manufacturing method. Additionally, its efficiency is measured by applying it to a carbon electrode solar cell. Spin-coating and spray methods are compared, and spray-based c-TiO₂ exhibits superior optical properties. Furthermore, surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) exhibits the excellent surface properties of spray-based TiO₂. The photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) is 14.31% when applied to planar perovskite solar cells based on metal electrodes. Finally, carbon nanotube (CNT) film electrode-based solar cells exhibits a 76% PCE compared with that of metal electrode-based solar cells, providing the possibility of commercialization.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been used as a tool to accurately extract the Total Electron Content (TEC) in the ionosphere. The multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS) constellations bring new opportunities for ionospheric research. In this study, we develop a regional ionospheric TEC model using GPS, Galileo, and QZSS measurements. To develop an ionospheric model covering the Asia-Oceania region, we select 13 International GNSS Service (IGS) stations. The ionospheric model applies the spherical harmonic expansion method and has a spatial resolution of 2.5°×2.5° and a temporal resolution of one hour. GPS TEC, Galileo TEC, and QZSS TEC are investigated from January 1 to January 31, 2024. Different TEC values are in good agreement with each other. In addition, we compare the QZSS(J07) TEC and the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) Global Ionosphere Map (GIM) TEC. The results show that the QZSS TEC estimated in the study coincides closely with the CODE GIM TEC.

On May 11, 2024, there was a strong solar flare explosion. A powerful geomagnetic storm triggered by a solar flare caused a major ionospheric disturbance over the Korean Peninsula. When a geomagnetic storm occurred, an abnormal change in vertical total electron content (VTEC) values was detected at all Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations in the Korean Peninsula. In addition, we performed GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) processing using observations from the SBAO and MKPO stations. We found that the up-directional position error increased significantly in both stations at around 17:00 UT on the day of year (DOY) 132, 2024. At that point, the root mean square (RMS) values for all position errors (East, North, and Up) increased compared to other dates. Due to very high noise, the L1 signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values of QZSS pseudo-random noise (PRN) 07 dropped to about 25 dB. As a result, we suggest that the strong geomagnetic storm increased the GNSS PPP position errors in the Korean Peninsula.
