In this paper, we fabricated flexible CNT/PVDF (carbon nanotube / polyvinylidene fluoride) piezoelectric composite device with flexible poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) conducting polymer electrode using spray coating method. We tried to improve the piezoelectric performance from the CNT/PVDF composite film by enhancing electrical conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS electrodes. Electrical conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS electrode was enhanced by dipping it into the EG (ethylene glycol) solvent. Changes of chemical composition of the PEDOT:PSS electrode were analyzed with the dipping time by XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) in terms of oxygen (O1s). Finally, Piezoelectric performances such as output voltage and current were measured with the dipping time. We found that enhanced electrical conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS electrodes resulted in improvement of the piezoelectric performance of the CNT/PVDF films.

In this study, composite transparent electrodes were fabricated either from a conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) or silver nanowire (AgNW). Three transparent electrodes such as PEDOT:PSS, PEDOT:PSS and AgNW mixture, and AgNW were fabricated. As for a transparent electrode, measured sheet resistance values were 89.6, 60.6 and 28.6 Ω/sq, and the transmittance values were 80.2, 82.0 and 83.8% while surface roughness (Rq) values were 4.1, 8.1, 20.4 nm for PEDOT:PSS, PEDOT:PSS and AgNW mixture, and AgNW, respectively. To verify the overall performance of these composite electrodes, we applied these electrodes to the top electrode of the solution-processed organic solar cells (OSCs). PEDOT:PSS provided the best performance with a fill factor (FF) of 51.2% and a photoconversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.2%, while traditional metal top electrode OSC provided FF of 60.5% and PCE of 3.1%.

금속산화물 고분자 복합재료전극 제조기법을 수소이온 감응성이 높은 $RuO_2$에 적용하여 표면연마가 가능한 나노 $RuO_2$ 복합재료 pH전극을 제조하였다. $RuO_2$ 함량 53 wt%을 가지는 나노 $RuO_2$ 복합재료 전극의 경우 나노 $IrO_2$ 복합재료 전극과 비슷한 수소이온 감응특성을 나타내었다. pH 1~9의 범위에서 이론치에 가까운 -58.7 mV/pH의 감응기울기, 1초 이하의 감응속도, 평균 $-57.0{\pm}0.3mV/pH$ (n=5)의 표면재생성, 장기 안정성 등 제반 특성과 전기화학적으로 활성이 높은 화학종에 의한 방해효과도 비슷하게 나타났다. 그러나 pH 10 이상의 염기성 용액에서의 감응기울기와 감응속도는 나노 $IrO_2$ 복합재료전극에 비하여 현저히 떨어지는 결과를 보였으며 이는 복합재료 매질 속의 금속산화물 함량에 따른 물리적 성질 차이에 따른 것으로 추측된다.

The purpose of this project is to research and development of thin film supercapacitor with conducting polymer composite electrodes and polymer electrolyte which have high energy density for thin film supercapacitor. We investigated cyclic voltammetry and charge/discharge cycling of PFPT-flyash electrodes. The first discharge capacity of PFPT-flyash electrode with 40wt.% flyash was 24F/g, while that of PFPT-VOflyash electrode with 40wt.% VOflyash was 32F/g. The capacitance of PFPT-VOflyash composite film with polymer electrolyte was 32 F/g at 1st and 20th cycle, respectively. The capacitance of PFPT-VOflyash/Li cell with 40 wt% VOflyash was 141 F/g at 8th cycle.

Flexible energy-storage devices (FESDs) have been studied and developed extensively over the last few years because of demands in various fields. Since electrochemical performance and mechanical flexibility must be taken into account together, different framework from composition of conventional energy-storage devices (ESDs) is required. Numerous types of electrodes have been proposed to implement the FESDs. Herein, we review the works related to the FESDs so far and focus on free-standing electrodes and, especially substrate-based ones. The way to utilize carbon woven fabric (CF) or carbon cloth (CC) as flexible substrates is quite simple and intuitive. However, it is meaningful in the point of that the framework exploiting CF or CC can be extended to other applications resulting in multifunctional composites. Therefore, summary, which is on utilization of carbon-based material and conductive substrate containing CF and CC for ESDs, turns out to be helpful for other researchers to have crude concepts to get into energy-storage multi-functional composite. Moreover, polymer electrolytes are briefly explored as well because safety is one of the most important issues in FESDs and the electrolyte part mainly includes difficult obstacles to overcome. Lastly, we suggest some points that need to be further improved and studied for FESDs.

Stretchable piezoelectric energy harvester (S-PEHs) based on composite materials are considered one of the potential candidates for realizing wearable self-powered devices for smart clothing and electronic skin. However, low energy conversion performance and expensive stretchable electrodes are major bottlenecks hindering the development and application of S-PEHs. Here, we fabricated the S-PEH by adopting the piezoelectric composites with enhanced stress transfer properties and kirigami-patterned textile electrodes. The optimum contents of piezoelectric BaTiO₃ nanoparticles inside the carbon nanotube/ecoflex composite were selected as 30 wt% considering the trade-off between stretchability and energy harvesting performance of the device. The final S-PEH shows an output voltage and mechanical stability of ~5 V and ~3,000 cycles under repeated 150% of tensile strain, respectively. This work presents a cost-effective and scalable way to fabricate stretchable piezoelectric devices for self-powered wearable electronic systems.

Free-standing electrodes of CuO nanorods in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are developed by synthesizing porous CuO nanorods throughout CNT webs. The electrochemical performance of the free-standing electrodes is evaluated for their use in flexible lithium ion batteries (LIBs). The electrodes comprising CuO@CNT nanocomposites (NCs) were characterized by charge-discharge testing, cyclic voltammetry, and impedance measurement. These structures are capable of accommodating a high number of lithium ions as well as increasing stability; thus, an increase of capacity in long-term cycling and a good rate capability is achieved. We demonstrate a simple process of fabricating free-standing electrodes of CuO@CNT NCs that can be utilized in flexible LIBs with high performance in terms of capacity and cycling stability.

Composite electrodes consisting of $CoMnO_2$ and carbon nanofibers(vapor grown carbon nanofiber, VGCF) with high electrical conducivity($CoMnO_2$/VGCF) were prepared on a porous nickel foam substrate as a current collector and their supercapacitive properties were investigated using cyclic voltammetry in 1 M KOH aqueous solution. The $CoMnO_2$/VGCF electrode exhibited high specific capacitance value of 630 F/g at 5 mV/s and excellent capacitance retention of 95% after $10^4$ cycles, indicating that the used VGCF played the important roles in reducing the interfacial resistance in the composite electrode to improve supercapacitive performance.

All-solid-state batteries have received increasing attention because of their high safety aspect and high energy and power densities. However, the inferior solid-solid interfaces between solid electrolyte and active materials in electrode, which cause high interfacial resistance, reduce ion and electron transfer rate and limit battery performance. Recently, spark plasma sintering is emerging as a promising technique for fabricating solid electrolytes and composite-electrodes. Herein, this paper focuses on the overview of spark plasma sintering to fabricate solid electrolytes and composite-electrodes for all-solid-state batteries. In the end, future opportunities and challenges associated with SPS technique for all-solid-state batteries are described.

본 연구에서는 대량 생산 가능한 센서 전극의 생화학 센서 전극 개발을 위하여 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT)를 복합재료화 공정에 의하여 필름과 나노웹 형태의 벌크 재료로 제작한 후, 이들 전극의 넓은 표면적과 뛰어난 화학적 흡착성을 이용하여 화학적 검출 대상에 노출이 되었을 때 이들로 인한 센싱 특성을 연구하였다. CNT 기반 벌크 전극으로 제작하기 위하여 Nafion을 기저재료로 하는 필름과 PAN 기반의 나노 파이버를 전기방사법에 의하여 제작을 한 후 이들 전극의 화학적 영향에 의한 전기적인 특성 변화 실험을 위하여 버퍼 용액의 정전용량에 대한 전기적 임피던스 요소 값인 저항과 정전용량의 변화를 LCR 계측기로 측정하였다. 생화학센서용 전극으로서 CNT벌크전극의 임피던스 변화 형태가 복합소재 전극의 기저재료에 따라 달리 나타났으며 일정량의 버퍼용액 투여 후에는 변화가 없는 포화 상태의 응답을 보였으며 특히, 정전용량이 저항에 비하여 상대적으로 급격하게 큰 변화를 보여 높은 감도 특성을 지니고 있음이 조사되었다. 이들의 전기적인 특성변화는 버퍼 용액의 화학적 성분들이 전극에 흡수 된 후에 CNT에 흡착이 되어 이들의 전기적인 특성을 변화 시키는 것으로 추론된다.
