As the costs of carbon-footprinetd fuels grow continuously and simultaneously atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases, solar fuels are receiving growing attention as alternative clean energy carriers. These fuels include molecular hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide produced from water, and hydrocarbons converted from carbon dioxide. For high efficiency solar fuel production, not only light absorbers (oxide semiconductors, Si, inorganic complexes, etc) should absorb most sunlight, but also charge separation and interfacial charge transfers need to occur efficiently. With this in mind, this talk will introduce the fundamentals of solar fuel production and artificial photosynthesis, and then discuss in detail on photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting and CO2 conversion. This talk largely divides into two section: PEC water oxidation and PEC CO2 reduction. The former is very important for proton-coupled electron transfer to CO2. For this oxidation, a variety of oxide semiconductors have been tested including TiO2, ZnO, WO3, BiVO4, and Fe2O3. Although they are essentially capable of oxidizing water into molecular oxygen, the efficiency is very low primarily because of high overpotentials and slow kinetics. This challenge has been overcome by coupling with oxygen evolving catalysts (OECs) and/or doping donor elements. In the latter, surface-modified p-Si electrodes are fabricated to absorb visible light and catalyze the CO2 reduction. For modification, metal nanoparticles are electrodeposited on the p-Si and their PEC performance is compared.

The development of advanced materials to improve the efficiency of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting paves the way for widespread renewable energy technologies. Efficient photoanodes with strong absorbance in visible light increases the effectiveness of solar energy conversion systems. MoS₂ in a two-dimensional semiconductor that has excellent absorption performance in visible light and high catalytic activity, showing considerable potential as an agent of PEC water splitting. In this study, we successfully modulated the MoS₂ morphology on indium tin oxide substrate by using the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method, and applied the PEC application. The PEC photocurrent of the vertically grown MoS₂ nanosheet structure significantly increased relative to that of MoS₂ nanoparticles because of the efficient transfer of charge carriers and high-density active sites. The enhanced photocurrent was attributed to the efficient charge separation and improved light absorption of the MoS₂ nanosheet structure. Meanwhile, the photocurrent property of thick nanosheets decreased because of the limit imposed by the diffusion lengths of carriers. This study proposes a valuable photoelectrode design with suitable nanosheet morphology for efficient PEC water splitting.

In CNG (Compressed natural gas) fuel supply line, whose main components are receptacle and check valve are used to charge high pressure gas to the tank of NGV (Natural gas vehicle). It is reported that the seal is separated occasionally form valve seat and results in blockage of gas flow. In this paper, MARC is used to investigate the reasons of seal separation and suggest design improvements. The static gas pressure distributions acting on the seal which calculated using FLUENT are considered to investigate accurate seal deformation behaviors. Deformed seal shapes are obtained for various amounts of seal interference and its location, gas pressure distributions and Young's modulus of the rubber used. The results showed that the reasons of seal separation problems are verified theoretically, and suggested examples of new design method. Therefore the present numerical methods can be applied in designing and performance analysis of rubber seals adopted in high pressure fluid machineries.

This study aims to investigate the impacts of chemical cleaning on the performance of a reverse osmosis membrane. Chemicals used for simulating membrane cleaning include a surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), a chelating agent (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA), and two proprietary cleaning formulations namely MC3 and MC11. The impact of sequential exposure to multiple membrane cleaning solutions was also examined. Water permeability and the rejection of boron and sodium were investigated under various water fluxes, temperatures and feedwater pH. Changes in the membrane performance were systematically explained based on the changes in the charge density, hydrophobicity and chemical structure of the membrane surface. The experimental results show that membrane cleaning can significantly alter the hydrophobicity and water permeability of the membrane; however, its impacts on the rejections of boron and sodium are marginal. Although the presence of surfactant or chelating agent may cause decreases in the rejection, solution pH is the key factor responsible for the loss of membrane separation and changes in the surface properties. The impact of solution pH on the water permeability can be reversed by applying a subsequent cleaning with the opposite pH condition. Nevertheless, the impacts of solution pH on boron and sodium rejections are irreversible in most cases.

Various thiocyanatoammine chromium complex salts are prepared by the known methods and the Rf. value of these complex salts are determined by four developers. These four developers were used in the paper chromatographical work of cobalt complex salts by Yamamoto in 1954. It was also found that the developer A (Ch$_{3}$OH, acetone, NH$_{4}$OH) gave best results of these four developers and the decending development gave better results than ascending development in this experiment. In the case of decending development using developer A, it is found that the Rf. value is increased with the number of thiocyanate radical. The reason of this curious results can be explained that the thiocyanate radical in the complex ion is more active for the organic solvent than ammine radical. Shifting of electrons to the central metal and the charge of the complex ion can also effect ot the Rf. value but much questions are remained for the explanation of the above curious phenomenon. Separation of mixed sample is also studied for various mixture of the above complex salts. In the case of the mixture of hexammine and diammine complex salt, the clear separation is possible but in almost all other mixed sample, the results are not clear. Therefore it can be said that the results of this work can be used in the qualitative analysis of the individual complex salts, except the mixed sample of hexammine and diammine complex salts.

Global environmental deterioration has become more serious year by year and thus scientific interests in the renewable energy as environmental technology and replacement of fossil fuels have grown exponentially. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell consisting of semiconductor photoelectrodes that can harvest light and use this energy directly to split water, also known as photoelectrolysis or solar water splitting, is a promising renewable energy technology to produce hydrogen for uses in the future hydrogen economy. A major advantage of PEC systems is that they involve relatively simple processes steps as compared to many other H2 production systems. Until now, a number of materials including TiO2, WO3, Fe2O3, and BiVO4 were exploited as the photoelectrode. However, the PEC performance of these single absorber materials is limited due to their large charge recombinations in bulk, interface and surface, leading low charge separation/transport efficiencies. Recently, coupling of two materials, e.g., BiVO4/WO3, Fe2O3/WO3 and CuWO4/WO3, to form a type II heterojunction has been demonstrated to be a viable means to improve the PEC performance by enhancing the charge separation and transport efficiencies. In this study, we have prepared a triple-layer heterojunction BiVO4/WO3/SnO2 photoelectrode that shows a comparable PEC performance with previously reported best-performing nanostructured BiVO4/WO3 heterojunction photoelectrode via a facile solution method. Interestingly, we found that the incorporation of SnO2 nanoparticles layer in between WO3 and FTO largely promotes electron transport and thus minimizes interfacial recombination. The impact of the SnO2 interfacial layer was investigated in detail by TEM, hall measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. In addition, our planar-structured triple-layer photoelectrode shows a relatively high transmittance due to its low thickness (~300 nm), which benefits to couple with a solar cell to form a tandem PEC device. The overall PEC performance, especially the photocurrent onset potential (Vonset), were further improved by a reactive-ion etching (RIE) surface etching and electrocatalyst (CoOx) deposition.

광액시료와 비-자성광액시료에 포함된 황비철석을 자류철석으로 상변환 시키기 위하여 그리고 비소 함량을 2,000 mg/kg 이하로 제거하기 위하여 마이크로웨이브 장치를 다양한 시간으로 가열하였고, 습식-자력선별하였다. 마이크로웨이브 가열시간이 증가함에 따라 황비철석 표면의 가장자리부터 자류철석으로 상변환이 일어났고, 열점 현상에 의하여 자류철석 내부에 용융공극과 마이크로-크랙들이 형성되었다. 마이크로웨이브 가열을 10분간 수행한 광액시료(비소 함량 : 14,732.66 mg/kg)와 비-자성 광액시료(비소 함량 : 19,970.13 mg/kg)를 습식-자력선별하여 자성광물로 분리시킨 결과, 10분 가열한 자성광물 시료에서 만 비소 함량이 2,000 mg/kg 이하로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 비소 페널티부과 대상인 복합황화광물을 마이크로웨이브 가열과 습식-자력선별을 효과적으로 활용하면, 비소 함량을 페널티 부과대상 이하의 광석광물을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 제작된 방사선 측정시스템을 평가하기 위한 방법중의 하나인 유효측정점을 명확히 정하기 위하여 실행되었다. 일반적으로 원통형이나 두 전극간의 간격이 매우 작은 평행평판형 이온함의 경우 유효측정점은 잘 정의 되어있다. 그 정의에 의하면 그리 크지 않은 체적을 갖는 평행평판형 이온함의 유효측정점은 방사선이 입사되는 윗면의 바로 아래로 정의한다고 되어있다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제작한 이온함과 같이 두 전극간의 간격을 비교적 크게 할 경우 위의 정의는 더 이상 유효하지 않을 수도 있을 것으로 생각되어 평행평판형 이온함의 두 전극간의 간격을 3, 6, 10 mm로 하여 체적이 0.9, 1.9, 3.1 cc로 비교적 크게 한 경우에 그 유효측정점의 변화를 검토하고자 하였다. 실험은 의료용 선형가속기로부터 발생가능한 광자선 6, 10 MV와 전자선 6, 12 MeV에 대하여 시행되었으며, 방법은 이온함의 buildup의 두께를 증가시켜가면서 방사선의 측정선량이 최대가 되는 깊이를 조사하였다. 그 결과 광자선과 전자선의 경우 조사된 모든 에너지에 대하여 그 정도의 차이는 있으나 전반적으로 이온함의 체적이 커짐에 따라서 즉, 두 전극간의 간격이 멀어짐에 따라서 유효측정점이 이온함의 윗면에서부터 이온함의 중심 쪽으로 이동하는 경향을 보였다. 그 정도는 이온함 체적의 크기가 커질수록 더 크게 이동하는 양상을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과로 볼 때 평행평판형 이온함의 경우는 두 전극간의 간격이 어느 정도 큰 경우에는 유효측정점이 변하게 됨으로 이온함의 체적에 따라서 그 유효측정점을 조사할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.
