The purpose of this thesis is to develope buffer materials by the plasma polymerization method. In this article the buffer materials, plasma poly thiophene(PPTh) is used to study the interface of eter/organic in organic light emitting diodes(OLED). The interface of meter/organic materials is the important and critical objectives in development of OLED. The hole transport layer was N,N'-dipheneyl-N, N'bis-(3-methypheneyl)-1,1'dipheneyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD); the host material of mission layer was 8-tris-hydroxyquinoline aluminium (Alq3). When PPTh was inserted between ITO and TPD, emission efficiency increased.

We have seen the effects of hole-injection buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using copper phthalocyanine(CuPc), poly(vinylcarbazole)(PVK), and Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate)(PEDOT:PSS) in a device structure of ITO/buffer/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al. Polymer PVK and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer was made using spin casting method and the CuPc layer was made using thermal evaporation. Current-voltage characteristics, luminance-voltage characteristics and efficiency of device were measured at room temperature with a thickness variation of buffer layer. We have obtained an improvement of the external quantum efficiency by a factor of two, four, and two and half when the CuPc, PVK, and PEDOT:PSS buffer layer are used, respectively. The enhancement of the efficiency is attributed to the improved balance of holes and elelctrons due to the use of hole-injection buffer layer. The CuPc and PEDOT:PSS layer functions as a hole-injection supporter and the PVK layer as a hole-blocking one.

We fabricated organic electroluminescent(EL) devices with mixed emitting layer of poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK), 2,5-bis(5'-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazoly)thiophene(BBOT), N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methyphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4, 4'-diarnine(TPD) and poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT). To improve the external quantum efficiency of EL devices, we added the functional layer to the devices such as LiF insulating layer, carrier confinement layer(BBOT) and hole injection layer(CuPc). In the ITO/emitting layer/Al device, the maximum quantum efficiency at 15V was $1.88{\times}10^{-5}%$. And then, it is increased by a factor of 27 to $5.2{\times}10^{-3}%$ in ITO/CuPc/emitting layer/BBOT/LiF/Al device at 15V.

We fabricated organic electroluminescent(EL) devices with mixed emitting layer of poly (N- vinylcarbazole) ( PVK) , 2,5-bis (5-tert-butyl -2- benzoxaBoly) thiophene ( BBOT) , N,N-diphenyl-N,N- (3-methyphenyl) -1,1-biphenyl-4, 4-thiamine(TPD) and poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) deposited by LB(Langumuir-Boldgett) method. From the AFM(atomic force microscope) images, the monolayer containing 30% of AA(arachidic acid) showed a roughness value of 28$\AA$. In the voltage-current characteristics of ITO/Emitting layer/BBOT/LiF/A1 devices, current density much smaller than that of the spin-coated devices having a same thickness.

To prevent or reduce air pollutant from methanol fueled vehicles, methanol oxidation reaction was carried out using a heteropoly acid catalysts. Catalytic activities of catalysts have been experimented at atmospheric pressure in a fixed bed flow reactor. Catalysts were characterized by XRD, IR, thermal analysis, N $H_{3}$-TPD and GC pulse technique. Acidities of catalysts were highly affected by poly-atoms. Methanol conversion was much higher on catalyst with W than on catalyst with Mo as a poly-atoms. With the increase of copper content(X) in C $u_{x}$ $H_{{3-2x}}$PMo catalyst, acidity was decreased and oxidation ability was increased. Methanol conversion and product distribution were affected by the acidity and oxidation ability of catalyst. Especially, supported PdSiW(1wt%) catalyst has a very good methanol conversion and C $O_{2}$ selectivity as high as a commertial 3-way catalyst.t.

We report the white light emission from the multilayer organic electroluminescent(EL) device using exciplex emission. The exciplex at 500nm originated between poly(N-vinylcarvazole)(PVK) and 2,5-bis(5'-tert-butyl-2-benzoxazoly)thiophene(BBOT) and exciplex of 50nm originated from N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methyphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine(TPD) and BBOT were observed. Also, the energy transfer from PVK to BBOT and poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) in mixed emitting materials was occurred. The electroluminescence(EL) spectra of organic EL device which have a device structure of ITO/CuPc(5nm)/emitting layer(100nm)/BBOT(30nm)/LiF(1.4nm)/Al(200nm) were slightly changed as a function of the applied voltage. The luminance fo 12.3 ${\mu}$W/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was achieved at 20V and EL spectrum measured at 20V corresponds to Commission Internationale de L\`Eclairage(CIE) coordinates of x=0.29 and y=0.353.

We have seen the effects of buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) using poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK) depending on a concentration of PVK. Polymer PVK buffer layer was made using spin casting technique. Two device structures were fabricated; one is ITO/TPD/$Alq_{3}$/Al as a reference, and the other is ITO/PVK/TPD/$Alq_{3}$/Al to see the effects of buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes. Current-voltage-luminance characteristics and an external quantum efficiency were measured with a variation of spin-casting rpm speeds and PVK concentration. We have obtained an improvement of external quantum efficiency by a factor of four when the PVK concentration is 0.1wt% is used. The improvement of efficiency is expected due to a function of hole-blocking of PVK in OLEDs.

We have seen the effects of buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes using poly(N-vinylcarbazole)(PVK). Polymer PVK buffer layer was made using spin casting techniques. Two different types of spin casting have been applied; static coating and dynamic coating. Two device structures were fabricated; one is ITO/TPD/Alq$_3$/Al as a reference, and the other is ITO/PVK/TPD/Alq$_3$/Al to see the effects of buffer layer in organic light-emitting diodes. Current-voltage characteristics and luminous efficiency were measured with a variation of spin-casting methods and rpm speeds. We have obtained an improvement of luminous efficiency by a factor of two and half when the PVK buffer layer is used.

We have synthesized poly(3-hexylthiophene) and studied the optical properties of P3HT for applying to the red emitting materials of organic electroluminescent device. Usually, an organic EL device is composed of single layer like anode/emitting layer/cathode, but additional layer such as hole transport, electron transport and buffer layer is deposited to improve device efficiency. In this study, Multilayer EL devices were fabricated using tris(8-hydroxyquinolinate) aluminum($Alq_3$) as electron transport material, (N,N'-diphenyl-N,,N'(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'diamine))(TPD) as hole transport/electron blocking materials and LiF as buffer layer. That is, a device structure of ITO/blending layer(TPD+P3HT)/$Alq_3$/LiF/Al was employed. In the Multilayer device, the luminance of $10{\mu}W/cm^2$ obtained at 10V. And, we present the experimental evidence of the enhancement of the Foster energy transfer interaction in emitting layer.

Current-voltage-luminance characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were measured in the temperature range of 10 K～300 K. Indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was used as an anode and aluminum as a cathode in the device. Organic of N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-di(m-tolyl)-benzidine (TPD) was used for a hole transporting material, and tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) aluminum (Alq$_3$) for an electron transporting material and emissive material. And copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), poly(3,4-ethylenedi oxythiophene);poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), and poly(N-vinylcarbazole) (PVK) were used for hole-injection buffer layers. From tile analysis of electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminesccnce (PL) spectra of the Alq$_3$, the EL spectrum is more greenish then that of PL. And the temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics were analyzed in the double and multilayer structure of OLEDS. Electrical conduction mechanism was explained in the region of high-electric and low-electric field. Temperature-dependent luminous efficiency and operating voltage were analyzed from the current-voltage- luminance characteristics of the OLEDS.
