  • Mesoporous titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) thin films were prepared using poly(vinyl chloride)-graft-poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVC-g-PVP) as a templating agent via sol-gel process. Grafting of PVC chains from PVC backbone was done by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique. The successful grafting of PVP to synthesize PVC-g-PVP was checked by fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The carbonyl group interaction of PVC-g-PVP graft copolymer with $TiO_2$ was confirmed by FT-IR. The porous morphologies of the $TiO_2$ films genereated after calcination at $450^{\circ}C$ was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mesoporous $TiO_2$ films with 580 nm in thickness were used as a photoelectrode for solid state dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and showed an energy conversion efficiency of 1.05% at 100 $mW/cm^2$.

  • PCDTBT (Poly[N-9''-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4',7'-di-2-thienyl-2',1',3'-benzothiadiazole)]) is an attractive material as a semiconducting polymer for organic thin film transistor (OTFT) and organic solar cell (OSC). High power conversion efficiency (~6%) under simulated AM 1.5G solar illumination of bulk-heterojunction solar cell with PCDTBT and [6,6]-phenyl C60 butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) blend was reported. In OSC, it is known that the band alignment at the interface between donor and acceptor is critical. Therefore, we studied the interfacial electronic structures of PCDTBT and PC61BM. The polymers are deposited by electro-spray on gold and In-situ x-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed the interfacial electronic structures. We obtained the energy level alignment between two materials and the different interface formation was observed with different deposition order.

  • Azobenzene functionalized polymers have been extensively investigated due to the potential applications in the areas of optical switching, optical elements, optical information storage, and nonlinear optics. These applications are mainly achievable due to photoinduced properties of azobenzene groups with photoisomerization and photoinduced anisotropy. We report applications to the optoelectronic devices using inscribed one-(1D) and two-dimensional (2D) SRGs on azo polymer films. The inscribed holographic SRGs patterns were useful to control or enhance optoelectronic properties such as transparent electrode patterning, hybrid solar cell and ultraviolet GaN-based LED.

  • 에너지의 고갈을 대비하여 자연을 이용한 태양에너지에 대한 연구는 매우 중대하고 필연적인 과제이다. 이와 더불어 최근 우리나라는 저탄소 녹색성장에 있어 신성장 동력산업의 일환으로 저소비전력, 환경친화적인 조명기구로 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 선정하여 연구 개발을 촉진하고 이를 활용한 다양한 새로운 산업이 창출되고 있다. 본 개발 내용은 리튬 이온 배터리의 뛰어난 성능을 가지며 폭발 위험성이 현저히 적은 리튬 폴리머 전지를 사용한 태양광 LED 조명시스템을 개발하였다. 태양광 패널은 100W 용량으로 제작하고, 전원공급시스템은 다양한 생활전기로 사용할 수 있도록 직류(DC) 및 교류(AC) 전원을 모두 갖추어 기능상의 편의를 고려하였다.

  • 9,10-Bis(bromomethyl)phenanthrene reacted with fullerenes via a Diels-Alder reaction to give phenanthrene-substituted fullerene mono-adducts (PCMA) and bis-adducts (PCBA) as electron acceptors for organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The syntheses of the fullerene derivatives were confirmed by $^1H$ $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. PCMA and PCBA showed better light absorption in the UV-visible region than $PC_{61}BM$. Their electrochemical properties were measured using cyclic voltammetry. Accordingly, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of PCMA and PCBA were -3.66 and -3.57 eV, respectively. Photovoltaic cells were fabricated with a ITO/PEDOT:PSS/poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT):acceptor/LiF/Al configuration, where P3HT and PCBA are the electron donors and acceptors, respectively. The polymer solar cell fabricated using the P3HT:PCBA active layer showed a maximum power conversion efficiency of 0.71%.

  • According to the rapid depletion of the fossil fuels, the electricity and hydrogen will gradually take charge of the future energy supply. Especially, in order to control the supply and demand of electricity, energy storage medium is necessary and this could be solved by the combination of water electrolysis and fuel cell. Although electricity can be generated from such alternative energies as hydropower, nuclear, solar, and wind-power resources, alternative energy storage medium is also required since regenerative energies, solar and wind-powers, are intermittent energy resources. In this regard, hydrogen production from water electrolysis was recognized as a superb method for electricity storage. In this work, the current development and economic status of alkaline, solid polymer, and high temperature electrolysis were reviewed, and then the practical use of water electrolysis technology were discussed.

  • 염료감응형 태양전지를 위한 고분자 전해질막을 제조하였다. 고분자물질로는 Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)를 사용하였으며, 가소제로서 poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)를 첨가하였고, 전해질염 및 $I^-/{I_3}^-$의 공급원으로서 KI 및 $I_2$를 첨가하여 고분자 전해질막을 제조하였으며, 이와 같은 고분자 전해질막을 바탕으로 염료감응형 태양전지를 제조하였다. 고분자 전해질 내의 가소제로서의 PEG 함량은 0%에서 85%의 범위로 변화하였다. 이러한 PEG 함량 전 구간에서 고분자 전해질막은 그 형태를 자체적으로 유지하는(self supporting) 완벽한 고체 전해질막의 형태로 제조되었다. PEG 함량이 증가하면서 전해질막을 통한 이온전도도와 ${I_3}^-$ 이온의 확산도계수는 증가하였다. 염료감응형 태양전지에 있어서는 고분자 전해질막 내의 PEG 함량이 증가하면서 그 효율이 증가함을 볼 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 P3HT와 PCBM 물질을 전자도너와 억셉터 광활성층 물질로 사용하여 벌크이종접합 구조를 갖는 Glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P3HT-PCBM/Al 구조의 유기박막태양전지를 제작하였다. P3HT와 PCBM은 각각 0.5 wt%의 농도로 톨루엔 용액에 용해하였다. 광활성층 농도를 최적화하기 위하여 P3HT:PCBM= 3:4, 4:4, 4:3 wt%의 농도비로 소자를 제작하고, 농도비에 따른 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 또한 활성층의 후속열처리 온도가 소자의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. P3HT와 PCBM의 농도비가 4:4 wt%의 비율에서 가장 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내었으며, 이때 단락전류밀도 ($J_{SC}$), 개방전압 ($V_{OC}$), 및 충실인자 (FF)는 4.7 $mA/cm^2$, 0.48 V 및 43.1%를 각각 나타내었다. 또한 전력변환효율(PCE)은 0.97%의 값을 얻었다. 최적화된 농도비를 갖는 태양전지 소자에 대해 $150^{\circ}C$에서 5분, 10분, 15분, 20분간 후속 열처리를 실시한 결과 P3HT 전자도너의 흡광계수가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 후속 열처리 조건이 $150^{\circ}C$에서 15분인 경우 전기적 특성이 열처리 하지 않은 소자에 비해 특성이 개선되었다. 즉, 이때의 전기적 특성은 $J_{SC},\;V_{OC}$, FF, PCE의 값이 각각 7.8 $mA/cm^2$, 0.55 V, 47%, 2.0%를 나타내었다.

  • Electrospinning has known to be very effective tool for production of versatile one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials such as nanofibers, nanorod, and nanotubes and for easily assembly to two-, three-dimensional(2D, 3D) nanostructures such as thin film, membrane, and nonwoven web, etc. We have studied on the electrospinning technology for novel energy storage and conversion materials such as advanced separator, dye sensitized solar cell, supercapacitor, etc. High heat-resistive nanofibrous membrane as a new separator for future lithium ion polymer battery was prepared by electrospinning of PVdF based composite solution. The novel nanofibrous composite nonwovens have tensile strength of above 50 MPa and modulus of above 1.3 GPa. The internal structure of the electrospun composite nanofiber with a diameter of few hundreds nanometer were composed of core-shell nanostructure. And also electrospun $TiO_2$ nanorod/nanosphere based dye-sensitized solar cells with high efficiency are successfully prepared. Some battery performance will be introduced.
