3.37 eV의 와이드 밴드갭과 60 mV의 높은 엑시톤 결합에너지를 갖는 반도체인 ZnO는 화학 및 열적 안정성, 압전특성 등 다양한 특성을 갖는 물질로써, 수열합성법을 이용하여 길이 $1.5{\mu}m$, 직경 100nm의 n-type ZnO 나노와이어를 성장시켰으며, P3HT는 유기 태양전지에서 가장 많이 사용되는 고분자 도너로써 열처리를 통하여 결정화 됨에 따라, 엑시톤의 확산속도나 전하의 이동도가 증가하여 더 많은 광전류를 생성하는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ZnO 필름이 아닌 n-type ZnO 나노와이어와 Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)를 사용 하여 ZnO/P3HT 이종접합 태양전지를 제작하였다. 기판으로 글래스, 전극으로 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide), 나노와이어의 씨앗층으로 ZnO:Al를 스퍼터로 100nm 증착 하였다. Znc nitrate hydrate와 hexamethylenetetramine이 혼합된 수용액에서 기판을 담그고 n-type ZnO 나노와이어 성장 시키고, P3HT의 스핀 코팅조건과 열처리 온도를 변화시켜 P3HT의 두께와 결정화도가 ZnO/P3HT 이종접합 태양전지에 미치는 영향을 비교 분석 하였다.

In Korea, there is no clearly established technology for diagnosing and evaluating the damage depth of concrete structures created by fire. There have been cases of repairing, reinforcing, and demolishing degraded structures without diagnosing the damage depth. The commonly used phenolphthalein-based carbonate thickness measurement does not satisfy the complete disappearance condition of Ca(OH)₂ in the interval where the relatively stationary flow declines after exposure to high temperatures. Even a small amount of Portlandite[Ca(OH)₂] reacts with a red color, and the damage depth is misjudged. It was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope that Ca(OH)₂ existed from 300℃ to 500℃ where the residual compressive strength decreased.

In this study, the nickel hydroxide (Ni(OH)₂) electrode for supercapacitor was prepared via hydrothermal method. Based on the nickel (Ni) foam, the electrode does not require any additional binder material or post-processing. Nickel nitrate (Ni(NO₃)₂) and hexamethylenetetramine (C₆H₁₂N₄) were used for synthesis, and the synthesis condition was 12 hours at 80 ℃. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to analyze the structural characteristics of the electrode, and it shown that the nickel hydroxide was successfully prepared after only the one-step hydrothermal synthesis. The electrochemical properties were analyzed through the half-cell test. The prepared electrode shown a pair of oxidation/reduction peaks, indicating that the driving method included the redox reaction on the electrode surface. After the charge/discharge test, the specific capacitance was calculated as the value of 438 F/g at 3 A/g.

This study was conducted to confirm the necessity of analogical thinking and to empirically verify the effectiveness of analogical reasoning through the visual representation by analyzing the factors of problem solving depending on analogical conditions. Four conditions (a visual representation mapping condition, a conceptual mapping condition, a retrieval hint condition and no hint condition) were set up for the above purpose and 80 twelfth-grade students from C high-School in Cheong-Ju, Chung-Buk participated in the present study as subjects. They solved the same mathematical problem about sequence of complex numbers in their differed process requirements for analogical transfer. The problem solving rates for each condition were analyzed by Chi-square analysis using SPSS 12.0 program. The results of this study indicate that retrieval of base knowledge is restricted when participants do not use analogy intentionally in problem solving and the mapping of the base and target concepts through the visual representation would be closely related to successful analogical transfer. As the results of this study offer, analogical thinking is necessary while solving mathematical problems and it supports empirically the conclusion that recognition of the relational similarity between base and target concepts by the aid of visual representation is closely associated with successful problem solving.

In order to overcome the limitations of the individual renewable energy technologies such as photovoltaic (PV) and solar-thermal and effectively realize zero energy buildings, the photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) technology is being proposed. The current PVT module was simply combined with a PV panel and a solar-thermal collector. Therefore, it was difficult to commercialize because the PVT module is heavy and has no significant advantages compared to applying the individual technology. In this study, an attached PVT module is proposed for the commercialization and securing competitiveness in the renewable energy market. The attached PVT module enables on-site work with a simplified manufacturing process and can significantly reduce the supply price of the product. Moreover, it can be easily applied on already installed the PV panels. This study aims to commercialize the attached PVT module, the basic data was established as follows: (1) latest technology related to PVT module, (2) Global trends of the PVT module market. The possibility of commercialization of the attached PVT module was reviewed based on the results of the latest technology and market trends analysis. The supply price of the attached PVT module is lower than the existing products and it is considered that there is a high possibility of commercialization and introduction market with the advantage such as utilizing the existing PV industry and market. Moreover, the attached PVT module can be produced simultaneously the thermal and electrical energy, and it can be presented as an innovative alternative that can respond to the energy demand for residential sector.

In this paper, we consider a joint optimization of transmitter and receiver in additive cyclostationary noise with zero forcing criterion. We assume that the period of the cyclostationary noise is the same as the inverse of the symbol transmission rate and that the noise has a positive-definite autocorrelation function. The data sequence is modeled as a wide-sense stationary colored random process and the channel is modeled as a linear time-invariant system with a frequency selective impulse response. Under these assumptions and a constraint on the average power of the transmitted signal, we derive the optimum transmitter and receiver waveforms that jointly minimizes the mean square error with no intersymbol interference. The simulation results show that the proposed system has a better BER performance than the systems with receiver only optimization and the systems with no transmitter and receiver optimization.

$NH_4{^+}-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina which is expected to an inorganic solid electrolyte of high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) was prepared by ion-exchange reaction of $K^{+}-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina pellet with $NH_4NO_3$ aqueous solution and molten $NH_4NO_3$ salts as an ion-exchange medium in the autoclave and the heating mentle reaction. In the autoclave reaction, the concentrations of $NH_4NO_3$ solution was chosen at 5 and 10 M. Each ion-exchange reaction was carried out at 130, 150, 170, and $200^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4, 6 and 8 h. In the heating mentle reaction, ion-exchange was performed at $200^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4, 6 and 8 h with molten $NH_4NO_3$ salts. In order to determine the effect of reaction times, each ion-exchange reaction was repeated 3 times. The phase stability and the ion-exchange rate of $NH_4{^+}-{\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina were analyzed by XRD and ICP.

In this study, we investigated the biological toxicity of nano-scale Zn (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mol%)-doped $TiO_2$ and pure $TiO_2$ nanoparticles using zebrafish embryogenesis as our model organism. Zn-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using a conventional hydrothermal method for the insertion of zinc into the $TiO_2$ framework. The characters of Zn-doped $TiO_2$ (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%Zn) and pure $TiO_2$ were about 7~8 nm. These sizes were smaller than 100~200 nm of $TiO_2$ was prepared using the sol-gel method. Particularly, in this study, we found no significant biological toxicity in the hatching rate and abnormal rate under expose pure $TiO_2$ and Zn-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using a conventional hydrothermal method of zebrafish. It was different from the biological damage under $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method. We assessed that the damage was not linked to the particle's nanometer size, but rather due to the prepare method. Moreover, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using a hydrothermal method were not shown to cause cytotoxic effects, like apoptosis and necrosis, that are the major markers of toxicity in organisms exposed to nanomaterials. Therefore, there is some relationship with biological toxicity of nanoparticles and the prepare method of nanometer size particles.

Lead titanate ($PbTiO_3$) powder was prepared from lead nitrate ($Pb(NO_3)_2$) and titania ($TiO_2$) by hydrothermal route. Phase formation process was investigated by observing the phases formed in various experimental conditions like different KOH concentration, reaction temperature and time. $PbTiO_3$ powder was fabricated when the KOH concentration was 0.8M or higher. An intermediate compound, $PbTi_{0.8}O_{2.6}$, was formed at first by a reaction between PbO and $TiO_2$ and changed into $PbTiO_3$ powder with a perovskite crystal structure. A $PbTiO_3$ phase was formed in a shorter time when a KOH concentration was increased from 0.8M to 8M because a driving force for a $PbTiO_3$ formation was increased due to an increase in a degree of supersaturation. And $TiO_2$ (rutile) and $3PbO{\cdot}H_2O$ were observed at room temperature in a 0.8M KOH solution and $TiO_2$(rutile) and PbO (litharge) in a 8M KOH. A $PbTiO_3$phase was also formed in a shorter time at a higher reaction temperature as a reaction temperature influenced the rates for a dissolution and a precipitation.
