In this paper, the luminance and resistance from different electrode materials of external electrode fluorescent lamp are measured and analyzed. New materials and process technology of external electrode are very important for the developed characteristics in lamp fabrication. In this experiments, three different types for the forming of external electrode are Cu and Al taping, silver paste, Ni and Cu electrode-less plating methods. In the measurements of luminance, the results of brightness by Ni and Au plating methods for the external electrode on lamp glass are presented and also compared with the results by the methods using different electrode materials. The measured resistance values of Ni and Au plating process showed a little bit higher than that of silver paste process in spite of developed results of brightness. But the Ni and Ni/Au plating processes are demonstrated best results and are also showed a little bit different brightness due to different previous sulfate etching treatments.

In this work, the electrical and optical properties of the two different p-type GaN electrode schemes, ZnNi/ITO and ZnNi/Au, were compared each other, and applied to the top-emitting GaN/InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The ZnNi/ITO electrode showed much higher transmittance (90%) and slightly lower contact resistance $(1.27{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2)$ than those (77%, $(2.26{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm^2)$) of the ZnNi/Au at a wavelength of 460 nm. In addition, GaN LEDs having ZnNi/ITO showed accordingly higher light output power and luminous intensity than those having ZnNI/Au did at the current levels up to 1 A.

Voltammetric analysis of Cl(I) ion was performed using a metal gold (Au) electrode (AE) and a carbon nanotube electrode (CNTE). After the examination, the AE was found to have more sensitively detected Cl(I) than CNTE. The optimum analytical conditions for the cyclic voltammetry (CV) and the square wave (SW) stripping voltammetry were performed using AE. The detection limit of $6.5\;{\mu}g/L$ Cl(I) was attained. The developed techniques were compared with the common Cl meter and applied to water systems.

In this paper, we propose the organic light-emitting devices with vacuum evaporated ultrathin CsF layer between the AI electrode and conjugated polymer MEH-PPV which was spin coated. In this structure, the CsF layer will be well transferred the electron injection from the electrode to the emission layer MEH-PPV. Finally this structure enhances the emission efficiency of the organic light-emitting device. And we measured the I-V-L properties with the split of CsF thickness into the $2{\AA},\;4{\AA},\;8{AA},\;10{\AA},\;20{\AA},\;50{\AA},\;75{AA}$ respectively. And also we evaporated CsF/Al, CsF/Au Cs/Au electrode respectively for the comparison. As the results, we obtained the maximum quantum efficiency 0.6% at $4{\AA}$ CsF thickness and then at $8{\AA}$, it decreased a little but it's still better than pure Al electrode which has 0.01%.

To electropolymerize Polypyrrole(ppy) film modified with fullerene $ions(full^-)$ the cell, Au/5 mM pyrrole, 1mM fullerene, 0.1M $TBABF_4,\;CH_2Cl_2/Pt$, was employed to Prepare the wafer-like type of $electrode/ppy(full^-)ppy(full^-){\ldots}$ electrodes. They were applied to deposit alkali metal ions with the cell of Au(quartz crystal analyzer; QCA)/ppy$(full^-)$, 0.01M metal ion(aq.)/Pt. The depositing rate constant of each ion for $Li^+,\;Na^+,\;K^+,\;Rb^+\;and\;Cs^+$, determined from the first order equation was $1.60\times10^{-8},\;3.13\times10^{-11},\;1.38\times10^{-9},\;2.71\times10^{-11}\;and\;2.98\times10^{-12}mo1.s^{-1}$ respectively. The calculated stoichiometry of the ions determined by quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) at the electrodes was $Li_7C_{60},\;Na_4C_{60},\;K_3C_{60},\;Rb_1C_{60}\;and\;Cs_1C_{60}$ respectively.

Based on our experience in developing resistive humidity sensor, interdigital gold electrodes with different fingers and gaps have been fabricated on a glass epoxy (GE) substrate using screen printing techniques. The basic structure of the electrode consisted of a 3-, 4- and 5-fingers with gaps of 310 and 460 ${\mu}m$. Gold electrode/GE was prepared by first printing silver nanopaste, followed by consecutive electroless plating of Cu, Ni and then Au. Copolymer of [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride (MDBAC) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) was used as a humidity-sensing polyelectrolyte, which was fabricated by a screen printing method on the Au electrode/GE substrate. The flexible humidity sensor showed acceptable linearity between logarithmic impedance and relative humidity in the range of 20-95%RH, low hysteresis of 1.5%RH, good response and recovery time of 75 sec at 1 V, 1 kHz, and $25^{\circ}C$. Electrode construction had a significant influence on the humidity-sensing characteristics of polymeric humidity sensors. The activation energy between electrode and ion conducting polyelectrolyte plays an important role in explaining the differences of humidity sensing characteristics such as temperature dependence, sensitivity, linearity and hysteresis.

We investigate the electrocatalytic activities for oxygen reduction at nanoporous gold (NPG) surfaces fabricated by selective dissolution of Ag from electrodeposited Ag-Au layers on electrode surfaces. The structure of NPG was controlled by changing the concentration ratios of precursor metal complexes during the electrodeposition of Ag-Au layers and the corresponding surface morphology and surface area was examined. NPG structures with Ag/Au ratio of 2.0 exhibited the highest electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction, where the nanoporous structure plays a key role, but the surface area does not affect on the electrocatalytic activity. The mechanism of electroreduction of oxygen was investigated by rotating disk electrode techniques. In acidic media, oxygen was first reduced to hydrogen peroxide followed by further reduction to water through 2-step 4-electron mechanism, whereas the oxygen was reduced directly to water by 4-electron mechanism in basic media.

In this study, CuO was introduced on MWCNTs dispersed with Au nanoparticles to improve the glucose sensing capability of electrochemical biosensors. Nano-cluster shaped CuO was synthesized due to the presence of Au nanoparticle, which affects glucose sensing performance. The biosensor featuring CuO/Au@MWCNTs nanocomposite as an electrode material when 0.1 mole of CuO was synthesized showed the highest sensitivity of $504.1{\mu}A\;mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$, which is 4 times better than that of MWCNTs based biosensors. In addition, it shows a wider linear range from 0 to 10 mM and lower limit of detection (LOD) of 0.008 mM. These results demonstrate that CuO/Au@MWCNTs nanocomposite sensors are superior to other CuO based biosensors which are attributed that the nano-cluster shaped CuO is favorable for the electrochemical reaction with glucose molecules.

유기박막 트랜지스터(Organic Thin Film Transistor: OTFT)는 낮은 공정비용과 기존의 고체 실리콘 트랜지스터로서 실혐 할 수 없는 플렉시블 디스플레이, 스마트카드, 태양전지 등의 매우 넓은 활용범위로 각광받고 있는 연구 분야 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 열 증발 증착장비(Thermal Evaporator)를 이용하여 펜타센을 활성층으로 사용한 유기박막 트랜지스터를 제작하였다. Heavily doped된 N형 실리콘 기판을 메탄올, 에탄올, 불산 처리를 하여 세척을 한 후 PECVD를 이용하여 SiO2를 200 nm 증착하였다. 그 후 열 증발 증착 장비를 사용하여 펜타센을 활성층으로 사용하였고, 분말 형태의 펜타센의 질량을 15~60 mg으로 조절하여 활성층의 두께를 조절하였다. 펜타센 증착 후 100도에서 열처리를 하고, 그 후 Shadow Mask를 이용하여 전극을 150nm 증착하였다. 이때 전극은 Au, Al, Ni 세가지 종류를 사용하였다. 펜타센의 질량을 조절하여 증착한 활성층의 두께는 60 mg일 때 약 60 nm, 45 mg일 때 약 45 nm로 1:1의 비율로 올라가는 것을 확인 할 수 있었고, 펜타센의 두께가 30 nm일 때 특성이 가장 잘 나오는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 펜타센의 두께가 두꺼울수록 게이트에서 인가되는 전압의 필드가 제대로 걸리지 않아 특성이 나쁘게 나온 것으로 보인다. 또한 활성층을 30 nm로 고정하고 전극의 종류를 바꿔가며 전기적 특성(캐리어 이동도, 문턱전압, 전달특성 등)을 측정 했을 때 전극으로 Al보다는 Au와 Ni를 사용했을 때 전기적 특성이 더 우수하게 나오는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 메탈과 펜타센과의 일함수 차이에 따른 결과로 보여진다.
