Pure and Fe-doped CuO thin-film and powder samples were prepared using a sol-gel method. Undoped CuO films exhibited monoclinic structure and p-type electrical conductivity $(\~10^{-2}\;{\Omega^{-1}\;cm^{-1}$ due to copper deficiency. On the other hand, CuO: Fe films were found to be insulating and Li doping on the films led to a restoration of p-type conductivity and a ferromagnetic hysteresis behaviour at room temperature. The observed properties far the CuO : Fe, Li films can be explained in terms of hole creation by substitution of $Li^+$ for $Cu^{2+}$ sites and mediation of long-range interactions between $Fe^{3+}$ ions by the $Li^+$-induced defect states. CuO: Fe powders exhibited a ferromagnetism at room temperature with its strength being dependent on post-annealing temperature. Mossbauer measurements on the CuO: Fe films and powders revealed that the octahedral $Cu^{2+}$ sites are mostly substituted by $Fe^{3+}$ ions.

We investigated the effects of doping elements on the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-0 ceramics. The doping elements can be classified into groups depending on their supeconducting characteristics in the Bi -Sr-Ca-Cu -O structure. The first group of doping elements(Co, Fe, Ni and Zn) substitute into the copper site and can reduce the critical temperatures of the 2223 and 2212 phases. The second group of doping elements(Y and La) substitute into the Ca site and cause the disappearance of the 2223 phase and increase the critical temperatures in the 2212 phase.

We investigated the effects of doping elements on the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O ceramics. The doping elements can be classified into four groups depending on their supeconducting characteristics in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O structure. The first group of doping elements(Co, Fe, Ni and Zn) substitute into the copper site and can reduce the critical temperatures of the 2223 and 2212 phases. The second group of doping elements(Y and La) substitute into the Ca site and cause the disappearance of the 2223 phase and increase the critical temperatures in the 2212 phase. The third group of doping elements(P and K) have a tendency to decompose the superconducting phase and reduce the optimal sintering temperature. The fourth group of doping elements(B, Si, Sn and Ba) almost unaffected the superconductivity of the 2223 and 2212 phase.

New precursors as a Li adsorbent, $Li_{1.6}(MnM)_{1.6}O_4$ (M=Cu, Ni, Co, Fe), were synthesized by hydrothermal method and their physicochemical properties were discussed. XRD and HRTEM results revealed that the original spinel structure was stabilized by cobalt-doping while Cu-, Ni- and Fe-doping led to structural changes. Such a structural stabilization by Cobalt-doping was maintained after lithium leaching by acid treatment. Li absorption efficiency from seawater was significantly enhanced by using the Cobalt-doped spinel manganese oxide, $Li_{1.6}[MnCo]_{1.6}O_4$, compared to the commercially available $Li_{1.33}Mn_{1.67}O_4$; the adsorbed amount of Li from 1g-adsorbent was 35 and 16 mg by $Li_{1.6}[MnCo]_{1.6}O_4$, and $Li_{1.33}Mn_{1.67}O_4$, respectively.

Strontium doped lanthanum manganite (LSM) with perovskite structure for SOFC cathode material shows high electrical conductivity and good chemical stability, whereas the electrical conductivity at intermediate temperature below $800^{\circ}C$ is not sufficient due to low oxygen ion conductivity. The approach to improve electrical conductivity is to make more oxygen vacancies by substituting alkaline earths (such as Ca, Sr and Ba) for La and/or a transition metal (such as Fe, Co and Cu) for Mn. Among various cathode materials, $LaSrMnCuO_3$ has recently been suggested as the potential cathode materials for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). As for the Cu doping at the B-site, it has been reported that the valence change of Mn ions is occurred by substituting Cu ions and it leads to formation of oxygen vacancies. The electrical conductivity is also affected by doping element at the A-site and the co-doping effect between A-site and B-site should be described. In this study, the $La_{1-x}Sr_xMn_{0.8}Cu_{0.2}O_{3{\pm}{\delta}}$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}0.4$) systems were synthesized by a combined EDTA-citrate complexing process. The crystal structure, morphology, thermal expansion and electrical conductivity with different Sr contents were studied and their co-doping effects were also investigated.

Designing and producing a low-cost, high-current-density electrode with good electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still a major challenge for the industrial hydrogen energy economy. In this study, nanostructured Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ was discovered to be a precedent electrocatalyst for OER with low overpotential, low Tafel slope, good durability, and high electrochemically active surface sites at reduced mass loadings. Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ nanosheets are made using a hydrothermal synthesis process. These nanosheets are clumped together to form a highly open hierarchical structure. When used as an electrocatalyst, the Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ nanosheets required an overpotential of 260 mV to reach a current density of 50 mA cm^-2. Also, it showed a small Tafel slope of 72.9 mV dec^-1, and superior stability while catalyzing the generation of O₂ continuously for 20 hours. The Fe-doped CuCo(OH)₂ was found to have a large number of active sites which provide hierarchical and stable transfer routes for both electrolyte ions and electrons, resulting in exceptional OER performance.

In this paper, in order to develop outstanding Pb-free piezoelectric composition ceramics, the $(Na_{0.525}K_{0.443}Li_{0.037})(Nb_{0.883}Sb_{0.08}Ta_{0.037})O_3+0.3wt%Bi_2O_3+0.4wt%Fe_2O_3+xwt%CuO$ (x= 0~0.8 wt%)(abbreviated as NKL-NST) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been synthesized using the ordinary solid state reaction method. The effects of CuO-doping on the structure and electrical properties of the NKL-NST ceramics were systematically studied. The results show that the ceramics exhibit a pure perovskite structure with orthorhombic phase at room temperature, and secondary phase was found in the ceramics. The 0.4 wt%CuO added ceramics sintered at $950^{\circ}C$ showed the optimum properties of piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$), planar piezoelectric coupling coefficient(kp) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) : $d_{33}=213$[pC/N], kp= 0.43, Qm= 423,respectively.

In this study, in odor to develop low temperature sintering multilayer piezoelectric actuator and ultrasonic vibrator, PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics were fabricated using $Li_2CO_3$ and $Na_2CO_3$ as sintering aids and their piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics were investigated according to the addition of dopant CuO and $Fe_2O_3$, respectively. The CuO added PMN-PNN-PZT ceramics improved mechanical quality factor Qm due to the acceptor doping effect. And also, $Fe_2O_3$ reacted as softner in this composition system in addition to the increase of grain size and sinterability. Taking into consideration electromechanical coupling factor kp of 0.62, dielectric constant $\varepsilon_r$, of 1275, Piezoelectric $d_{33}$ constant of 377[pC/N] and mechanical quality factor Qm of 975, it was concluded that the ceramics with the $Fe_2O_3$, added composition sintered at 900[$^{\circ}C$] were best for the multilayer piezoelectric actuator and ultrasonic vibrator application.

p-type 반도체 물질로 알려진 $Cu_2O$에 Li 이온을 doping하면 Cu 이온 자리에 Li이온이 치환되어 p-type의 특성이 더욱 강하게 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 RF magnetron sputtering방법으로 성막한 p-type형 $Li:Cu_2O$박막의 특성을 연구하고 이를 $Li:Cu_2O-ZnO$ pn 접합 유연 나노제너레이터에 적용하였다. $Li:Cu_2O$ 성막시 $O_2$ 분압을 변수로 100nm 두께의 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막을 성막하여 전기적, 광학적, 구조적, 표면 특성을 분석하였다. Hall measurement 측정 결과 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막은 정공을 Major Carrier로 갖는 p-type 반도체임을 확인하였고, $O_2$의 분압이 증가할수록 Mobility 및 Carrier Concentration이 증가함을 확인하였다. 최적조건에서 광학적 투과도는 약 45%를 보였으며, 투과도를 통해 계산한 band gap은 약 2.03eV로써 일반적인 산화물 반도체의 작은 밴드갭을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Ellipsometer분석을 통해 $Ar:O_2$ 비가 $Li:Cu_2O$ 굴절률 및 흡광도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였으며, FE-SEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope)을 통해 표면을 분석하였다. 또한 XRD(X-ray diffractometer), TEM(Transmission Electron Microscope) 분석을 통하여 상온에서 성막한 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막의 미세구조를 연구하였다. UPS(Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 분석을 통해 일함수를 측정하였다. 이렇게 제작된 p 타입 $Li:Cu_2O$ 박막을 이용하여 $Li:Cu_2O-ZnO$ pn 접합을 구현하고 이를 이용해 유연 나노제너레이터를 제작하였다. 다양한 특성 분석을 통해p-type을 이용한 산화물 박막 기반 유연 나노 제너레이터 특성 향상 메커니즘을 제시하였다.
