We explain a method to fabricate multi-layered transparent conductive films (TCF) using graphene oxide (GO), copper powder and polyurethane (PU) solution. The flexible graphene nanosheets (GNSs) serve as nanoscale connection between conductive copper nanoparticles (CuNps) and PU nanofibers, resulting in a highly flexible TCF. To fabricate conductive films with high transmittance, polyurethane (PU) nanofibers were used for a conductive network consisting of CuNps and GNSs (CuNps-GNSs). In this experiment, copper powder and graphene oxides were mixed in deionized water with the ultrasonication for 2 h. NaBH4 solution is used as a reduction agents of CuNps and GNSs (CuNps-GNSs) under a nitrogen atmosphere in the oil bath at 100% for 24 h to mixed. The purified and dispersed CuNp-GNS were obtained in deionized water, and diluted to a 10wt.% based on the contents of GNSs. Polyurethane (PU) nanofibers on a PET substrate were formed by electrospinning method. PET slides coated with the PU nanofibers were immersed into CuNp-GNS solution for several second, rinsed briefly in deionized water, and dried to obtain self-assembled CuNp-GNS/PU films. The morphology of the multi-layered films were characterized with a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, Hitachi S-4700) and atomic force microscope (AFM, PSIA XE-100). The electrical property was analysed by the I-V measurement system and the optical property was measured by the UV/VIS spectroscopy.

Electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) using Pt nanoparticles or bimetal on carabon was studied. Currently, the best catalyst is platinum, which is a limited resource and expensive to commercialize. In this paper, we investigated the cheaper and more active electrocatalysts by making Pt nanoparticles and adding 3D transition metal such as copper. Electrocatalysts were obtained by chemical reduction based on ethylene glycol solutions. Elemental analysis and particle size were confirmed by XRD and TEM. The electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and activity of the catalyst were determined by electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry method. The commercialized Pt support on carbon (Pt/C, JM), synthesis Pt/C and synthesis Pt3Cu1 alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon were compared. We confirmed that the synthesized Pt3-Cu1/C has high electrochemical performance than commercial Pt/C. It is expected to develop an electrocatalyst with high activity at low price by increasing the oxygen reduction reaction rate of the fuel cell.

The role of transfer films formed during sliding of polymer composites against steel counterfaces was studied in terms of the tribological behaviors of composites. Four kinds of composites were included in this study: (1) unfilled PPS, (2) PPS+2%CuO, (3) PPS+2%CuO+5% carbon fiber (CF), and (4) PPS+2%CuO+15%Kevlar. The filler material CuO was in nanoscale particulate form and the reinforcing material was in the form of short fibers. The composites were prepared by compression molding at $310^{\circ}C$ and sliding tests were run in the pin-on-disk sliding configuration. The counterface was made of tool steel hardened to 55-60 HRC and finished to a surface roughness of 0.09-0.10 ${\mu}m$ Ra. Wear tests were run for 6 hrs at the sliding speed of 1 m/s and contact pressure of 0.65 MPa. Transfer films formed on the counterfaces during sliding were investigated using AFM and SEM. The results showed that as the transfer film became smooth and uniform, wear rate decreased. PPS+2%CuO+15%Kevlar composite showed the lowest steady state wear rate in this study and its transfer film showed the smoothest and the most uniform characteristics. The examination of worn surfaces of PPS+2%CuO composite using X-ray area scanning (dot mapping) showed back-transfer of steel counterface material to the polymer pin surface. This behavior is believed to strengthen the polymer pin surface during sliding thereby contributing to the decrease in wear rate.

We investigated the interaction between polyynes (linear carbon chains) and various metal nanoparticles (Ag, Au, and Cu) to provide insight into the optical properties of metal-polyynes systems prepared by different experimental techniques. Polyynes were produced by laser ablation in deionized water, metal nanoparticles solutions, and copper chloride solution. Metal nanoparticles complexes with polyynes were analyzed by Raman, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and UV-vis spectroscopy.

플라즈마 밀도, 전자 온도, 쉬스 전압이 플라즈마 디웨팅으로 나노 분말 어레이를 제작할 때에 끼치는 영향을 연구하였다. 플라즈마 변수를 조절하여 기판에 입사하는 이온 충돌 에너지가 높은 조건에서는 디웨팅 시에 홀이 상대적으로 많이 생성이 되어 균일한 구리 나노 분말이 생성되었고, 반대의 경우에는 디웨팅 시 홀이 적게 생성되어 크고 작은 나노분말이 혼재해 있는 불균일한 구리 나노 분말 어레이가 형성되었다. 따라서 이온 충돌 에너지를 조절하면 구리 나노 분말의 균일도를 조절할 수 있다.

나노입자는 벌크에 비해 월등히 큰 비표면적(surface-to-volume ratio)과 작은 사이즈에서 오는 양자효과로 인해 촉매나 나노 전자 소자 등 여러 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 특히 백금 나노입자는 수소나 메탄올의 산화, 산소환원 반응의 독보적인 촉매로서 연료전지의 산화극과 환원극의 촉매로 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 높은 가격의 백금의 사용량을 줄일 수 있는 합금 나노입자 촉매에 대한 연구의 일환으로 Pd, Au, Cu, Ag 등의 원소를 활용한 합금 나노입자에 대한 구조 및 열역학적 안정성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 다양한 합금에 대한 원자간 포텐셜을 개발하였고, 이를 기반으로 몬테카를로 및 분자동력학 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 Pd-Pt, Cu-Pt, Ag-Pt, Au-Pt 이원계 합금 나노입자의 다양한 원자 구조 및 형상에 따른 결합에너지와 열역학적 특성에 대하여 분석하였다.

Tautomerism of pyrimidine base cytosine has been comparatively examined on nanoparticle and roughened plate surfaces of silver, gold, and copper by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The SERS spectrum was found to be different depending on the metals and their substrate conditions suggesting the dissimilar population of various tautomers of cytosine on the surfaces. The ab initio calculations were performed at the levels of B3LYP, HF, and MP2 levels of theory with the LanL2DZ basis set to estimate the energetic stability of the tautomers with the metal complexes as well as the gas phase state. The amino group and N3-coordinated tautomer was predicted to be more favorable for bonding to Au, whereas the hydroxyl and N1-coordinated zwitter ionic form is most stable with Ag and Cu as a bidentate form from the DFT calculation. The binding energy with the Ag atom is calculated to be smaller than those with the Au and Cu atoms in line with the temperature-dependent SERS spectra of cytosine.

The defect sites on chemical vapor deposition grown graphene are investigated through the selective electrochemical deposition (SED) of Au nanoparticles. For SED of Au nanoparticles, an engineered potential pulse is applied to the working electrode versus the reference electrode, thereby highlighting the defect sites, which are more reactive relative to the pristine surface. Most defect sites decorated by Au nanoparticles are situated along the Cu grain boundaries, implying that the origin of the defects lies in the synthesis of uneven graphene layers on the rough Cu surface.

직경 20 nm 미만의 금속 나노입자들이 나타내는 저온 용융특성을 이용한 새로운 패드 피니쉬 공정을 적용하여 Cu 표면을 SAC305로 코팅한 후 wettability의 변화를 평가하였다. SAC305 잉크를 사용한 $160^{\circ}C$의 저온 코팅공정 시 형성되는 SAC305 코팅층의 두께는 수 나노미터 수준으로 극히 얇았으며, 이 코팅층 밑으로 10~100 nm 두께 수준의 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 및 50~150 nm 두께 수준의 $Cu_3Sn$ 금속간화합물층 반응층이 생성되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, 생성된 금속간 화합물층의 두께는 압연동 시편에 비해 전해도금동 시편에서 훨씬 두꺼웠는데, 이는 전해도금동 시편에서 관찰되는 향상된 표면 거칠기 특성에 의해 단위면적 기준으로 보다 많은 수의 SAC305 나노입자들이 접촉된 상태에서 용융되어 반응하기 때문으로 분석되었다. 이후 SAC305 솔더볼을 사용한 젖음각 측정 실험에서 저온 SAC 코팅이 이루어진 Cu 표면은 SAC 코팅이 없는 Cu 표면에 비해 눈에 띄게 낮은 젖음각을 나타내어 당 코팅법으로 Cu 표면에 단지 수 나노미터 두께의 SAC305 층을 형성시킨 경우에서도 솔더의 wettability 개선을 유도할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
