To detect anomaly signs of thermal runaway in advance, this study analyzed the signals from various sensors installed in lithium-ion batteries. The thermal runaway mechanism was analyzed, and measurement variables for anomalies of a battery cell were surface temperature, strain, and gas concentration. The changes and characteristics of three variables during the thermal runaway process were analyzed under the abuse environment: the overheat and the overcharge. In experiment, the thermal runaway of the battery proceeded in the initial developing stage, the outgassing stage, and the ignition stage. Analysis from the measured data indicated that the suitable variable to detect all stages of thermal runaway is the surface temperature of the battery, and surface strain is alternative.

Pure SnO₂ has proven very difficult to densify. This poor densification can be useful for the fabrication of SnO₂ with a porous microstructure, which is used in electronic devices such as gas sensors. Most electronic devices based on SnO₂ have a porous microstructure, with a porosity of > 40%. In pure SnO₂, a high sintering temperature of approximately 1300℃ is required to obtain > 40% porosity. In an attempt to reduce the required sintering temperature, the present study investigated the low-temperature sinterability of a current system. With the addition of TiO₂, the compositions of the samples were Sn_1-xTi_xO₂-CoO(0.3wt%)-CuO(2wt%) in the range of x ≤ 0.04. Compared to the samples without added TiO₂, densification was shown to be improved when the samples were sintered at 950℃. The dominant mass transport mechanism appears to be grain-boundary diffusion during heat treatment at 950℃.

Starter cultures used during the fermentation of malt wort can increase the sensory characteristics of the resulting beverages. This study aimed to explore the aroma composition and flavor recognition of malt wort beverages fermented with lactic acid bacteria (Levilactobacillus brevis WiKim0194) isolated from kimchi, using metabolomic profiling and electronic tongue and nose technologies. Four sugars and five organic acids were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography, with maltose and lactic acid present in the highest amounts. Additionally, e-tongue measurements showed a significant increase in the sourness (AHS), sweetness (ANS), and umami (NMS) sensors, whereas bitterness (SCS) significantly decreased. Furthermore, 20 key aroma compounds were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and 15 key aroma flavors were detected using an electronic nose. Vanillin, citronellol, and β-damascenone exhibited significant differences in the flavor profile of the beverage fermented by WiKim0194, which correlated with floral, fruity, and sweet notes. Therefore, we suggest that an appropriate starter culture can improve sensory characteristics and predict flavor development in malt wort beverages.

박막형 접촉연소식을 포함한 마이크로 가스센서에서 membrane은 Si식각시 식각정지용으로서 또 센서 소자를 지지하는 층으로서 응력이 없어야 하며 이는 응력이 membrane파괴의 주 원인으로 작용하기 때문이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 증착조건이 low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD)법과 sputtering법으로 제작된 $SiN_{x}$과 $SiN_{x}/SiO_{x}/(NON)$막의 응력고 굴절율 변화에 미치는 효과에 대한 실험을 행하였다. LPCVD의 경우 단일막인 $SiN_{x}$의 압축응력 및 굴절율을 나타내었다. Sputtering의 경우 $SiN_{x}$는 공정압력이 1mtorr에서 30torr까지 증가할수록 인가전력밀도가 $2.74W/cm^2$에서 $1.10W/cm^2$으로 감소할수록 응력값은 압축에서 인장으로 전환되었으며 본 실험에서 응력이 가장 낮게 나온 시편의경우 압축응력으로 $1.2{\times}10^{9}dyne/cm^2$가 공정압력 10mtorr, 인가전력밀도 $1.37W/cm^2$에서 얻어졌다. 굴절율은 공정압력이 1motorr에서 30motorr까지 증가할수혹 인가전력밀도가 $2.74W/cm^2$에서 $1.10W/cm^2$으로 감소할수록 감소하여 2.05에서 1.89의 변화를 보였다. LPCVD와 sputtering으로 증착된 막들은 모두 온도가 증가함에 따라 응력이 감소하였으며 온도감소시 소성적인 특성을 나타내었다.

$H^{+}$ 이온에 선택적으로 감응하는 field effect transistor(pH-ISFET)를 바탕소자로 하고, 그 gate 주위에 Ag/AgCl 기준전극을 형성한 다음, 이를 둘러싼 수화젤(hydrogel)막 및 기체투과막의 이중막 구조를 가진 용존이산화탄소($CO_{2(aq)}$) 센서소자를 사진식각(photolithography)법으로 제작하였다. PVA-SbQ 혹은 PVP-PVAc/감광제 형의 광가교형 감광액은 수화젤막 형성에 적합하지 않았으나, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) 및 acrylamide를 포함하는 광중합형 감광액을 사용할 경우에는 사진식각법에 의한 수화젤막이 좋은 해상도로 얻어졌다. 기체투과막은 urethane acrylate계 UV-oligomer를 주성분으로 한 감광액을 써서 사진식각법으로 수화젤막위에 형성할 수 있었다. 또한 수화젤막 및 기체투과막을 사진식각법으로 형성할 때 N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl ethplenediamine(TED) 을 $O_{2}$ quencher로서 감광액 중에 도입함으로써 UV 노광시에 polyester film을 부착하는 번거로운 공정을 생략할 수 있음을 알았다. 이렇게 제조된 $pCO_{2}$ 센서는 수용액 중에서 $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{0}\;mol/{\ell}$의 $CO_{2}$ 농도변화에 대하여 직선적인 검정곡선(calibration curve)을 얻을 수 있었다.

A colorimetric paper sensor was used to detect volatile nitrogen-containing compounds emitted from spoiled salmon filets to determine their freshness. The sensing mechanism was based on acid-base reactions between acidic pH-indicating dyes and basic volatile ammonia and amines. A sensing layer was simply fabricated by drop-casting a dye solution of bromocresol green (BCG) on a polyvinylidene fluoride substrate, and its color-change response was enhanced by optimizing the amounts of additive chemicals, such as polyethylene glycol, p-toluene sulfonic acid, and graphene oxide in the dye solution. To avoid the adverse effects of water vapor, both faces of the sensing layer were enclosed by using a polyethylene terephthalate film and a gas-permeable microporous polytetrafluoroethylene sheet, respectively. When exposed to basic gas analytes, the paper-like sensor distinctly exhibited a color change from initially yellow, then to green, and finally to blue due to the deprotonation of BCG via the Brønsted acid-base reaction. The use of ammonia analyte as a test gas confirmed that the sensing performance of the optimized sensor was reversible and excellent (detection time of < 15 min, sensitive naked-eye detection at 0.25 ppm, good selectivity to common volatile organic gases, and good stability against thermal stress). Finally, the coloration intensity of the sensor was quantified as a function of the storage time of the salmon filet at 28℃ to evaluate its usefulness in monitoring of the food freshness with the measurement of the total viable count (TVC) of microorganisms in the food. The TVC value increased from 3.2 × 10⁵ to 3.1 × 10⁹ cfu/g in 28 h and then became stable, whereas the sensor response abruptly changed in the first 8 h and slightly increased thereafter. This result suggests that the colorimetric response could be used as an indicator for evaluating the degree of decay of salmon induced by microorganisms.

The electronic nose (e-nose) has been used in food industry and quality controls in plastic packaging. Recently it finds its applications in medical diagnosis, specifically on detection of diabetes, pulmonary or gastrointestinal problem, or infections by examining odors in the breath or tissues with its odor characterizing ability. Moreover, the use of portable e-nose enables the on-site measurements and analysis of vapors without extra gas-sampling units. This is expected to widen the application of the e-nose in various fields including point-of-care-test or e-health. In this study, a PDA-based portable e-nose was developed using micro-machined gas sensor array and miniaturized electronic interfaces. The rich capacities of the PDA in its computing power and various interfaces are expected to provide the rapid and application specific development of the diagnostic devices, and easy connection to other facilities through information technology (IT) infra. For performance verification of the developed portable e-nose system, Six different vapors were measured using the system. Seven different carbon-black polymer composites were used for the sensor array. The results showed the reproducibility of the measured data and the distinguishable patterns between the vapor species. Additionally, the application of two typical pattern recognition algorithms verified the possibility of the automatic vapor recognition from the portable measurements. These validated the portable e-nose based on PDA developed in this study.

The discovery of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in $LaAlO_3$ (LAO)/$SrTiO_3$ (STO) heterostructure has stimulated intense research activity. We suggest a new structure model based on $KNbO_3$ (KNO) material. The KNO thin films were grown on $TiO_2$-terminated STO substrates as a p-type structure ($NbO_2/KO/TiO_2$) to form a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG). The STO thin films were grown on KNO/$TiO_2$-terminated STO substrates as an n-type structure to form a 2DEG. Oxygen pressure during the deposition of the KNO and STO thin films was changed so as to determine the effect of oxygen vacancies on 2DEGs. Our results showed conducting behavior in the n-type structure and insulating properties in the p-type structure. When both the KNO and STO thin films were deposited on a $TiO_2$-terminated STO substrate at a low oxygen pressure, the conductivity was found to be higher than that at higher oxygen pressures. Furthermore, the heterostructure formed at various oxygen pressures resulted in structures with different current values. An STO/KNO heterostructure was also grown on the STO substrate, without using the buffered oxide etchant (BOE) treatment, so as to confirm the effects of the polar catastrophe mechanism. An STO/KNO heterostructure grown on an STO substrate without BOE treatment did not exhibit conductivity. Therefore, we expect that the mechanics of 2DEGs in the STO/KNO heterostructures are governed by the oxygen vacancy mechanism and the polar catastrophe mechanism.

금속산화물 나노구조물은 고감도 가스센서 및 대용량의 리튬이온 전지와 같은 첨단 응용 분야에 활용될 수 있는 유망한 소재로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 산화주석(SnO) 나노구조물을 두 영역 전기로 장치를 이용하여 다양한 온도에서 Si 웨이퍼 기판 위에 성장시켰다. 원료물질인 이산화주석($SnO_2$) 파우더를 알루미나 도가니 속에 넣어서 $1070^{\circ}C$에서 기상화시켰으며, 이송가스인 고순도 Ar 가스를 1000 sccm으로 흘려주었다. SnO 나노구조물은 $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C$, 545 Pa 조건에서 30분 동안 Si 기판 위에 성장되었다. 성장된 SnO 나노구조물의 표면형상을 전계방출형 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM)과 원자힘 현미경(AFM)으로 조사하였다. 또한 성장된 SnO 나노구조물의 결정학적 특징을 Raman 분광학으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 성장된 산화주석은 SnO 상을 가지고 있었다. 기판의 온도가 증가함에 따라 성장된 SnO 나노구조물의 두께와 결정립의 크기도 $424^{\circ}C$까지는 증가하였다. $450^{\circ}C$에서 성장된 SnO 나노구조물은 복잡한 다결정 형태의 표면형상을 나타내었지만, $350{\sim}424^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 성장된 SnO 나노구조물은 기판에 나란한 형태의 단순한 결정구조를 나타내었다.
