Titania spheres were synthesized using binary ionic liquids to examine the electrocatalytic activity in acid solution. The morphology of $TiO_2$ particles was significantly different with the composition of ionic liquids. Among the binary ionic liquids, four set of mixtures led to the formation of $TiO_2$ sphere with various sizes. The morphology and structure of $TiO_2$ particles were characterized by XRD, $N_2$ physisoption and SEM analysis. All samples possessed an anatase phase after calcinations at $500^{\circ}C$. The structural properties of the samples were varied significantly with the morphology. In cyclic voltammograms, the morphology of $TiO_2$ spheres affected the electrocatalytic activity in water electrolysis. Among the samples, [Omim][$BF_4$]+[Hmim][$BF_4$] was the most effective ionic liquid to synthesize $TiO_2$ sphere with optimum morphology showing the highest electocatalytic performance.

A comprehensive comparative investigation of small carbohydrates in laser desorption ionization was performed on supporting materials composed of sodiated 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB), carbon nanotubes, an ionic liquid matrix of DHB-pyridine, a binary matrix of DHB-aminopyrazine, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and gold nanoparticles. The abundance of $[M+Na]^+$ ions, where M is glucose or sucrose, was compared for each supporting material. The highest sensitivity for both glucose and sucrose, with a detection limit of 3 pmol, was observed with carbon nanotubes. Both carbon nanotubes and the ionic liquid matrix exhibited the highest reproducibility.

이성분계 이온성액체를 사용하여 다양한 모양의 이산화티타늄 입자를 수정된 졸-겔법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 합성에 사용된 이온성액체의 종류에 따라 이산화티타늄 입자는 다양한 형태를 가지고 있었다. 이는 이온성액체와 유기용매계면 사이에서 형성되는 이산화티타늄이 두 물질 사이의 상호작용에 영향을 받아 입자의 모양이 형성되기 때문이다. 제조된 입자의 광촉매 성능을 측정하기 위하여 4-chlorophenol 분해반응을 실시하였다. 그 결과 1-Octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate과 1-Octyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate를 이용하여 합성한 $TiO_2$ 입자가 가장 우수한 광촉매 활성을 나타내었다.

We report a series of novel imidazolium iodides based ionic liquids (NMIPHI, NAIPHI, and NBIPHI) with different functional groups for the development of a quasi-solid type electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The diffusion coefficients of redox ions ($I^-$ and $I_3{^-}$) are dependent on the molecular weight and it was higher for lighter salts. Among the three ionic liquids, NMIPHI showed highest efficiency of 4.18% when it was used in a liquid electrolyte of a DSSC with $ca$. 6 ${\mu}m$ thick $TiO_2$ mesoporous film. Even though the efficiency was $ca$. 19% lower than that obtained from a liquid electrolyte composed of PMII. When NMIPHI was mixed with PMII with a molar ratio of 1:1 in a solvent free electrolyte, the efficiency of the DSSCs was enhanced compared to that based on pristine PMII.

Methylsulfate 음이온을 갖는 이미다졸리움계 이온성 액체들을 대상으로 이온성 액체에 녹는 이산화탄소의 용해도를 측정하고, 이온성 액체가 가지고 있는 양이온의 변화에 따른 용해도의 차이를 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 methylsulfate 음이온을 가진 이온성 액체는 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([emim][$mSO_4$])와 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate ([bmim][$mSO_4$])였다. 가변부피투시창(variable-volume view cell)이 장착된 고압용 상평형 장치를 사용하여 303.15 K에서 343.15 K까지 온도를 변화시키면서 여러 가지 조성을 갖는 이온성 액체와 이산화탄소의 혼합물의 기포점 압력을 측정함으로써 이온성 액체에서의 고압 이산화탄소의 용해도를 측정하였다. 이온성 액체에서 이산화탄소의 농도가 증가함에 따라 압력이 급격히 증가하였으며, 온도가 증가함에 따라 용해도는 감소하였다. 또한 이미다졸리움 양이온에 붙어 있는 알킬 체인의 길이가 길수록 높은 용해도를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. Peng-Robinson 상태방정식을 사용하여 이온성 액체와 이산화탄소 혼합물 시스템에 대한 상평형 모델링을 수행하였다.

The SI thermochemical cycle process accomplishes water splitting through distinctive three chemical reactions. We focused on thermodynamic models applicable to the process. Recently, remarkable models based on the assumed ionic species have been developed to describe highly nonideal behavior on the liquid phase reactions. ElecNRTL models with ionic reactions were proposed in order to provide reliable process simulation results for phase equilibrium calculations in Section II and III. In this study, the current thermodynamic models of SI thermochemical cycle process were briefly described and the calculation results of the applied ElecNRTL models for phase equilibrium calculations were illustrated for binary systems.

The effect of addition of single and binary additives on the performance of dye-sensitized $TiO_2$ solar cells based on 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (DMPII) in ethylene carbonate (EC) and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) has been evaluated at different cell temperatures in the $30-120^{\circ}C$ range. The electrolyte containing a single additive, 2-(dimethylamino)-pyridine (DMAP) showed best performance, which showed further enhancement for an electrolyte containing binary additives, DMAP and 5-chloro-1-ethyl-2-methylimidazole (CEMI) in equal molar ratio. The performance of the dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on electrolyte containing binary additives were found to be better than an acetonitrile based electrolyte. The dependence of different photovoltaic parameters (Voc, Jsc, ff, n) of the DSC upon temperature has been studied over the $30-120^{\circ}C$ range and only a small decrease in conversion efficiency has been observed. Thus the electrolyte containing binary additives (DMAP, CEMI) in EC/GBL solvent and show better performance in the investigated temperature range ($30-120^{\circ}C$).

A new ultrasonic-assisted micellar extraction and cloud-point pre-concentration method was developed for the determination of major saikosaponins, namely saikosaponins -A, -C and -D, in Radix Bupleuri by high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD). The non-ionic surfactant Genapol X-080 (oligoethylene glycol monoalkyl ether) was chosen as the extraction additive and parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized. The highest yield was obtained with 10% (w/v) Genapol X-080, a liquid/solid ratio of 200:1 (mL/g) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction for 40 min. In addition, the optimum cloud-point pre-concentration was reached with 10% sodium sulfate and equilibration at $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Separation was achieved on an Ascentis Express C18 column (100 ${\times}$ 4.6 mm i.d., 2.7 ${\mu}M$) using a binary mobile phase composed of 0.1% acetic acid and acetonitrile. Saikosaponins were detected by ELSD, which was operated at a $50^{\circ}C$ drift tube temperature and 3.0 bar nebulizer gas ($N_2$) pressure. The water-based solvent modified with Genapol X-080 showed better extraction efficiency compared to that of the conventional solvent methanol. Recovery of saikosaponins ranged from 93.1 to 101.9%. An environmentally-friendly extraction method was successfully applied to extract and enrich major saikosaponins in Radix Bupleuri.

본 논문에서 이온성액체를 이용한 초음파화학을 통해서 칼코젠 나노입자를 in-situ로 합성하여서 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT) 위에 도포하였다. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ($BMimBF_4$) 이온성액체를 이용해서 MWCNT의 표면을 기능화하였다. 합성된 MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/CdTe, MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnTe, MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnSe 나노복합체를 TEM과 EDS를 이용해서 분석하였다. 특히, MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/CdTe, MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnTe, and MWCNT/$BMimBF_4$/ZnSe 나노복합체는 각각 요철과 같거나, 거칠거나 부드러운 코어-쉘 형태와 같은 특이한 구조를 보여주었다. 본 연구는 반응속도가 다른 전구체로부터 얻어진 이성분 반도체 나노입자를 합성과 동시에 탄소나노튜브에 도포할 수 있는 새로운 합성법을 제시한다.
