The current wireless power charge technologies are based on induction coupling, magnetic resonant coupling, electromagnetic wave, etc. However, the current wireless power charge technologies has several disadvantages including short transfer range, electromagnetic interference, etc. In this paper, we investigate and demonstrate a laser wireless power charge technology. A laser source is used in the transmitter to convert from electric power to optical power and a solar cell or a photodiode is used in the receiver to convert from optical power to electric power. The laser wireless power charge technology may be the most efficient wireless power charge technology in the long distance over than 10 meters. Our experimental results show a transfer efficiency of 2.15% at the 70-m long distance with a 100 mW laser transmitter and a photodiode receiver.

This study was conducted to verify the performance of the solar water circulation apparatus that was installed in a semi-closed sea area of Tongyeong to improve the water quality through removing thermocline and oxygen depleted water mass, and to prevent the occurrence of red tides caused by eutrophication. From 8 weeks of experiments, we found that the thermocline in the semi-closed sea area has been removed gradually after installation of the apparatus. The initial temperature of surface and bottom was $27.9^{\circ}C$ and $23.8^{\circ}C$, respectively and it was changed to $22.1^{\circ}C$ in both depth. In case of DO concentration, there was a big gap between surface (5.49 mg/L) and bottom (2.61 mg/L) and was an oxygen depleted water mass in the bottom area at initial. However DO concentration in bottom layer has increased gradually after operation (6.19 mg/L) and the oxygen depleted water mass has removed. Due to the effects of seasonal variation and the operation of the solar water circulation apparatus for 8 weeks, COD concentration decreased from 5.61 mg/L to 2.36 mg/L in surface area, and from 6.08 mg/L to 1.73 mg/L in bottom area. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentration also decreased from 0.135 mg/L to 0.050 mg/L in surface area, and from 0.076 mg/L to 0.051 mg/L in bottom area. This research was conducted from July to September, and it might be possible that the variation of water quality was affected by both seasonal variation and the operation of the water circulation apparatus. Hence a further research is required to verify the performance of the water circulation apparatus itself and to monitor dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations as well as Chl-a.

실리콘(Si)은 이미지 센서, 포토검출기, 태양전지등 반도체 광전소자 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있는 대표적인 물질이다. 이러한 소자들은 광추출 또는 광흡수 효율을 향상시키는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 Si의 높은 굴절율은 표면에서 30% 이상의 반사율을 발생시켜 소자의 성능을 저하시킨다. 따라서, 표면에서의 광학적 손실을 줄이기 위한 효과적인 무반사 코팅이 필요하다. 최근, 우수한 내구성과 광대역 파장 및 다방향성에서 무반사 특성을 보이는 서브파장 주기를 갖는 나노격자(subwavelength grating, SWG) 구조의 형성 및 제작에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 구조는 경사 굴절율 분포를 가지는 유효 매질을 형성시킴으로써 Fresnel 반사율을 감소시킬 수 있어 반도체 소자 표면에서의 광손실을 줄일 수 있다. 그러나, SWG나노구조는 식각에 의한 표면 결함(defects)들이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 결함은 표면에서의 재결합 손실을 발생시켜 소자의 성능을 크게 저하시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 표면 보호막 및 무반사 코팅 층을 목적으로 하는 산화막을 표면에 형성시키기도 한다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 레이저간섭리소그라피 및 건식 식각을 이용하여 Si 기판에 SWG 나노구조를 형성하였고, 제작된 샘플 표면 위에 실리콘 산화막(SiOx)을 furnace를 이용하여 형성시켰다. 제작된 샘플들의 표면 및 식각 profile은 scanning electron microscope를 사용하여 관찰하였으며, UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer 를 사용하여 빛의 입사각에 따른 반사율을 측정하였고, 표면 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 표면 wettability를 조사하였다.

급속한 산업의 발달은 심각한 환경오염 및 에너지 문제를 가져왔다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 무한한 에너지원인 태양에너지를 원천으로 하는 친환경 정화소재로서의 광촉매(photocatalyst)를 통하여 인류의 에너지를 확보하는 것에 대한 관심이 급격하게 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 광촉매로 가장 많이 사용되는 $TiO_2$의 경우 뛰어난 광활성에도 불구하고, 상대적으로 넓은 밴드갭(band gap) 으로 인한 가시광 응답성의 부재로 이를 해결하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PIII&D (plasma immersion ion implantation & deposition) 장비를 통하여 -60 kV의 펄스 고전압을 인가해 $TiO_2$에 좁은 band gap을 갖는 반도체를 이온주입하여 가시광 응답성을 갖는 양자점 감응(Quantum dot sensitized)형 광촉매를 제작하였다. 이온주입 후 시료의 chemical state와 crystallinity를 확인하기 위하여 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy와 X-ray diffraction measurement를 이용하여 분석을 수행하였으며, 이러한 공정을 통해 제작된 양자점 감응형 광촉매의 가시광 응답성을 확인하기 위하여 UV/Vis 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 또한 광촉매의 효율을 확인하기 위해 물 분해 장치(water splitting device) 를 제작하여 수소와 산소를 생성하였다.

We herein report efficient triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) achieved in various non-toxic and non-volatile vegetable oils as a UC media using platinum-octaethylporphyrin (PtOEP) and 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) as a sensitizer and acceptor, respectively. Green-to-blue UC was readily achieved from PtOEP/DPA solution in vegetable oils with the quantum yield of 8% without any deoxygenation process. The UC efficiency was found to be significantly dependent on the contents of unsaturated hydrocarbon in vegetable oils and viscosity of the solution, as well. Though the Stern-volmer constant and quantum yield in vegetable oils were measured to be lower than those measured in the deaerated organic solvent, the quenching efficiency was still high enough to be 93%. In the sunflower oil, the UC threshold intensity ($I_{th}$) was approx. $100mW/cm^2$, which is far larger than the sunlight intensity, but we believe that the UC achieved in non-toxic and air-saturated media was still highly applicable to nontraditional visualization techniques such as bioimaging.

페로브스카이트 태양전지는 차세대 태양전지로써 몇 년 사이에 매우 큰 폭으로 효율이 증가하고 있으며 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 페로브스카이트의 태양전지의 구조는 전자전도체, 페로브스카이트 광흡수체, 정공전도체, 전극으로 구성된다. 전자전도체는 전자 포집성이 우수한 다공성 TiO2 층과 TiO2 박막 층으로 구성된다. 균일한 박막 TiO2를 형성하는 것은 페로브스카이트 태양전지의 개방전압 특성에 기여한다. TiO2 박막을 제조하는 방법으로써 용액을 사용한 스핀 코팅 법은 간편하게 제조가 가능하나, 일정한 두께의 박막을 형성하지 못하고 균일하지 못하는 단점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 보다 균일한 TiO2 박막을 제조하였다. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Light IV, Quantum Efficiency (QE)로 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 제조방법 차이에 따른 페로브스카이트 태양전지의 영향을 분석하였다.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) allows light transmission and the application of various colors that make it especially suitable for building-integrated PV (BIPV) application. In order to apply DSC module into windows, it has to be panelized: DSC module should be protected with reinforced glass to the entire surface. Up to date, it seems to be common to make double glazing with DSC modules with air gaps between the glasses and the DSC modules. Few research has been conducted on the characteristics of various glazing types with DSC modules. This study aims to analyze the electrical performance of DSC modules according to panelizing method for glazing unit with DSC modules. The prototype of the DSC glazing that applied silicone filler between DSC modules and glasses was developed. The electrical performances of this type of DSC glazing with the filler and rather conventional double glazing with DSC modules were compared. Their performances were measured using a solar simulator that is suitable for DSC performance testing. The results indicated that the electrical performance of the filler type DSC glazing improved by 7% compared to that of the conventional DSC double glazing type.

There has been an increasing number of studies on photovoltaic energy generation system in an offshore site with the largest energy generation efficiency, as increasing the researches and developments of renewable energies for use of offshore space and resources to replace existing fossil fuels and resolve environmental challenges. For installation and operation of floating photovoltaic systems in an offshore site with harsher environmental conditions, a stiffness of structural members comprising the total system must be reinforced to inland water spaces as dams, reservoirs etc., which have relatively weak condition. However, there are various limitations for the reinforcement of structural stiffness of the system, including producible size, total mass of the system, economic efficiency, etc. Thus, in this study, a floating breakwater is considered for reducing wave loads on the system and minimizing the reinforcement of the structural members. Wave reduction performances of floating breakwaters are evaluated, considering size and distance to the system. The wave loads on the system are evaluated using the higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM), considering the multi-body effect of buoys. Stresses on structural members are assessed by coupled analyses using the finite element method (FEM), considering the wave loads and hydrodynamic characteristics. As the maximum stresses on each of the cases are reviewed and compared, the effect of floating breakwater for floating photovoltaic system is checked, and it is confirmed that the size of breakwater has a significant effect on structural responses of the system.
