Hierarchical N doped TiO2 nanostructured catalyst with micro, meso and macro porosity have been synthesized by a facile self-formation route using ammonia and titanium isopropoxide precursor. The samples were calcined in different calcination temperature ranging from $300^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$ at slow heating rate ($5^{\circ}C$/min) and designated as NHPT-300 to NHPT-800. $TiO_2$ nanostructured catalyst have been characterized by physico-chemical and spectroscopy methods to explore the structural, electronic and optical properties. UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra confirmed the red shift and band gap narrowing due to the doping of N species in TiO2 nanoporous catalyst. Hierarchical macro porosity with fibrous channel patterning was observed (confirmed from FESEM) and well preserved even after calcination at $800^{\circ}C$, indicating the thermal stability. BET results showed that micro and mesoporosity was lost after $500^{\circ}C$ calcination. The photocatalytic activity has been evaluated for methanol oxidation to formaldehyde in visible light. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to combined synergetic effect of N doping for visible light absorption, micro and mesoporosity for increase of effective surface area and light harvestation, and hierarchical macroporous fibrous structure for multiple reflection and effective charge transfer.

From 10 years ago, the development of nano-devices endeavored to achieve reconstruction of information technology (IT) and nano technology (NT) industry. Among the many materials for the IT and NT industry, zinc oxide (ZnO) is a very promising candidate material for the research of nano-device development. Nano-structures of ZnO-based materials were grown easily via various methods and it attracts huge attention because of their superior electrical and optical properties for optoelectronic devices. Recently, among the various growth methods, MOCVD has attracted considerable attention because it is suitable process with benefits such as large area growth, vertical alignment, and accurate doping for nano-device fabrication. However, ZnO based nanowires grown by MOCVD process were had the principal problems of 1st interfacial layers between substrate and nanowire, 2nd a broad diameter (about 100 nm), and 3rd high density, and 4th critical evaporation temperature of Zinc precursors. In particular, the growth of high performance nanowire for high efficiency nano-devices must be formed at high temperature growth, but zinc precursors were evaporated at high temperature.These problems should be repaired for materialization of ultra high performance quantum devices with quantum effect. For this reason, we firstly proposed the growth method of vertical aligned slim MgZnO nanowires (< 10 nm) without interfacial layers using self-phase separation by introduced Mg at critical evaporation temperature of Zinc precursors ($500^{\circ}C$). Here, the self-phase separation was reported that MgO-rich and the ZnO-rich phases were spontaneously formed by additionally introduced Mg precursors. In the growth of nanowires, the nanowires were only grown on the wurzite single crystal seeds as ZnO-rich phases with relatively low Mg composition (~36 at %). In this study, we investigated the microstructural behaviors of self-phase separation with increasing the Mg fluxes in the growth of MZO NWs, in order to secure drastic control engineering of density,diameter, and shape of nanowires.

마이크로플라즈마 화학기상증착법(microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition, MPCVD)에 의하여 형성된 비정질 탄소 박막의 효율적인 도핑 공정을 위하여, 비정질 탄소 박막의 성장 직전 nucleated seed 상태의 기판 혹은 일부 성장된 박막 위에 비소(As) 이온을 이온 주입하였고 그 직후 다시 MPCVD에 의하여 박막을 성장시켰다. MPCVD에 의한 성장 자체가 약 $500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ 온도에서의 어닐링 공정을 대체할 수 있으므로, 기존의 이온 주입 후 별도의 어닐링 공정과 비교 시 간략화된 공정으로도 어닐링 효과가 있다고 할 수 있다. 이온 주입 후 박막 성장으로 어닐링 효과를 얻은 비정질 탄소 박막의 경우, $2.5V/{\mu}m$의 전계에서 약 $0.1mA/cm^2$의 전계 방출 특성을 관찰할 수 있었고 또한 라만 스펙트럼 특성에서도 다이아몬드 특성 및 그래파이트 특성 모두 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. 전기적, 구조적 특성 관찰로부터 이온 주입된 As 이온이 자동 어닐링 효과에 의해 충분히 비정질 탄소 박막에 도핑되었다고 할 수 있다.

The promise of nano-crystalites (nc) as a technological material, for applications including display backplane, and solar cells, may ultimately depend on tailoring their behavior through doping and crystallinity. Impurities can strongly modify electronic and optical properties of bulk and nc semiconductors. Highly doped dopant also effect structural properties (both grain size, crystal fraction) of nc-Si thin film. As discussed in several literatures, P atoms or radicals have the tendency to reside on the surface of nc. The P-radical segregation on the nano-grain surfaces that called self-purification may reduce the possibility of new nucleation because of the five-coordination of P. In addition, the P doping levels of ${\sim}2{\times}10^{21}\;at/cm^3$ is the solubility limitation of P in Si; the solubility of nc thin film should be smaller. Therefore, the non-activated P tends to segregate on the grain boundaries and the surface of nc. These mechanisms could prevent new nucleation on the existing grain surface. Therefore, most researches shown that highly doped nc-thin film by using conventional PECVD deposition system tended to have low crystallinity, where the formation energy of nucleation should be higher than the nc surface in the intrinsic materials. If the deposition technology that can make highly doped and simultaneously highly crystallized nc at low temperature, it can lead processes of next generation flexible devices. Recently, we are developing a novel CVD technology with a neutral particle beam (NPB) source, named as neutral beam assisted CVD (NBaCVD), which controls the energy of incident neutral particles in the range of 1~300eV in order to enhance the atomic activation and crystalline of thin films at low temperatures. During the formation of the nc-/pm-Si thin films by the NBaCVD with various process conditions, NPB energy directly controlled by the reflector bias and effectively increased crystal fraction (~80%) by uniformly distributed nc grains with 3~10 nm size. In the case of phosphorous doped Si thin films, the doping efficiency also increased as increasing the reflector bias (i.e. increasing NPB energy). At 330V of reflector bias, activation energy of the doped nc-Si thin film reduced as low as 0.001 eV. This means dopants are fully occupied as substitutional site, even though the Si thin film has nano-sized grain structure. And activated dopant concentration is recorded as high as up to 1020 #/$cm^3$ at very low process temperature (＜ $80^{\circ}C$) process without any post annealing. Theoretical solubility for the higher dopant concentration in Si thin film for order of 1020 #/$cm^3$ can be done only high temperature process or post annealing over $650^{\circ}C$. In general, as decreasing the grain size, the dopant binding energy increases as ratio of 1 of diameter of grain and the dopant hardly be activated. The highly doped nc-Si thin film by low-temperature NBaCVD process had smaller average grain size under 10 nm (measured by GIWAXS, GISAXS and TEM analysis), but achieved very higher activation of phosphorous dopant; NB energy sufficiently transports its energy to doping and crystallization even though without supplying additional thermal energy. TEM image shows that incubation layer does not formed between nc-Si film and SiO2 under later and highly crystallized nc-Si film is constructed with uniformly distributed nano-grains in polymorphous tissues. The nucleation should be start at the first layer on the SiO2 later, but it hardly growth to be cone-shaped micro-size grains. The nc-grain evenly embedded pm-Si thin film can be formatted by competition of the nucleation and the crystal growing, which depend on the NPB energies. In the evaluation of the light soaking degradation of photoconductivity, while conventional intrinsic and n-type doped a-Si thin films appeared typical degradation of photoconductivity, all of the nc-Si thin films processed by the NBaCVD show only a few % of degradation of it. From FTIR and RAMAN spectra, the energetic hydrogen NB atoms passivate nano-grain boundaries during the NBaCVD process because of the high diffusivity and chemical potential of hydrogen atoms.

합성된 $BF_3LiMA$ 리튬염을 단량체로 사용하는 고체 고분자전해질을 제조하고 $BF_3LiMA$의 농도가 이온전도도에 미치는 영향 및 전기화학적 안정성을 교류임피던스 측정법과 선형전위주사법을 통하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 $BF_3LiMA$가 12.9 wt%인 고체 고분자전해질에서 $7.71{\times}10^{-6}S\;cm^{-1}$의 가장 높은 $25^{\circ}C$ 이온전도도가 관찰되었으며 이 값을 전후로 이온전도도는 다소 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 저농도의 $BF_3LiMA$에서 발생할 수 있는 리튬염의 부족과 고농도의 $BF_3LiMA$에서는 발생할 수 있는 고분자기질의 유동성 감소가 원인으로 해석된다. 또한 $BF_3LiMA$ 기반의 고체 고분자전해질은 음이온이 고정되어 있는 자기-도핑형 계열로서 $60^{\circ}C$에서 6.0 V까지 우수한 전기화학적 안정성을 보여주었다.

Electrical properties of graphene-based field effect transistors (G-FETs) can be degraded in ambient conditions owing to physisorbed oxygen or water molecules on the graphene surface. Passivation technique is one of a fascinating strategy for fabrication of G-FETs, which allows to sustain electrical properties of graphene in the long term without disrupting its inherent properties: transparency, flexibility and thinness. Ironically, despite its importance in producing high performance graphene devices, this method has been much less studied compared to patterning or device fabrication processes. Here we report a novel surface passivation method by using atomically thin self-assembled alkane layers such as C18- NH2, C18-Br and C36 to prevent unintentional doping effects that can suppress the degradation of electrical properties. In each passivated device, we observe a shift in charge neutral point to near zero gate voltage and it maintains the device performance for 1 year. In addition, the fabricated PG-FETs on a plastic substrate with ion-gel gate dielectrics exhibit not only mechanical flexibility but also long-term stability in ambient conditions. Therefore, we believe that these highly transparent and ultra-thin passivation layers can become a promising candidate in a wide range of graphene based electronic applications.

This work reviews the effects of catalyst formulation and exhaust gas composition on soot oxidation in CDPF (Catalytic Diesel Particulate Filter). DOC's (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts) have been loaded with Pt catalyst (Pt/$Al_{2}O_3$) for reduction of HC and CO. Recent CDPF's are coated with the Pt catalyst as well as additives like Mo, V, Ce, Co, Fe, La, Au, or Zr for the promotion of soot oxidation. Alkali (K, Na, Cs, Li) doping of metal catalyst tends to increase the activity of the catalysts in soot combustion. Effects of coexistence components are very important in the catalytic reaction of the soot. The soot oxidation rate of a few catalysts are improved by water vapor and NOx in the ambient. There are only a few reports available on the mechanism of the PM (particulate matter) oxidation on the catalysts. The mechanism of PM oxidation in the catalytic systems that meet new emission regulations of diesel engines has yet to be investigated. Future research will focus on catalysts that can not only oxidize PM at low temperature, but also reduce NOx, continuously self-cleaning diesel particulate filters, and selective catalysts for NOx reduction.

Luminescence characteristics of Ag-doped ZnO as the quantum dot materials to increasing the efficiency on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) have been studied. Ag doped ZnO powder was produced by the self-sustaining combustion process using ultrasonic spraying heating method. Luminescence wavelength region of the ZnO by Ag doping was shifted to longer wavelength. Tn the case of the Ag doped ZnO powder, broad luminescence spectrum centered on 600nm was observed. On the other hand, we compared PL data of RTA treated ZnO:Ag film at various temperatures because the front electrode of solar cell was in need of the sintering process. In XRD and PL data for RTA treated film at the 500$^{\circ}C$ showed good property. And, it was found that the grain size wasn't growing but only optical property was changed. According to the result of XRD, PL, absorption, emission spectrum and DV-X${\alpha}$ used in theoretical calculation, it is considered to be possible to use Ag doped ZnO as quantum dot material for improving DSC efficiency.

Vanadium pentoxide ($V_2O_5$) powder was prepared and mixed with Molybdenum Oxides ($MoM_3$) to form Mo-doped and -undoped $VO_2$ films by a sol-gel method on graphite conductive substrates. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the chemical compositions and microstructures of the Mo-doped and -undoped $VO_2$ films. The variation of electrical resistance was measured as a function of temperature and stoichiometric composition between vanadium and molybdenum. In this study, it was found that Mo-doped and -undoped $VO_2$ shows the typical negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior. As the amount of the molybdenum increases, the electrical resistance of Modoped $VO_2$ film gets reduced under the transition temperature and a linear decrease in the transition temperature is observed. From these experimental results, we can conclude that the electrical resistance behavior with temperature change of $VO_2$ films can be utilized as a self-heating source with the electrical current flowing through the graphite substrate.
