We investigated the effect of chemical acid treatments on hydrogen storage behaviors of the ordered mesoporous carbons (MCs). The surface functional groups and specific elements of the MCs were characterized with Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Also, the changes in the surface functional groups of the MCs were quantitatively detected by Boehm's titration method. The structural properties of the MCs were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The hydrogen adsorption capacity of the MCs was evaluated by means of adsorption isotherms at 77 K/1 bar. The formation of surface functional groups by the acidic treatments could influence on the hydrogen storage capacity of the MCs.

We examined the photo catalytic activity and catalytic recyclability of CdSe/graphene nanocomposites fabricated via modified hydrothermal technique. The prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopic analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic behavior was investigated through decomposition of RBB as a standard dye under visible light radiation. Our results indicate that there is significant potential for graphene based semiconductor hybrids materials to be used as photocatalysts under visible light irradiation for the degradation of organic dyes from industry effluents.

In this Paper, ZnO films mixed with iron oxide were prepared by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method. The chemical composition and structural properties as a function of the Fe atomic ratio in the deposition solution were studied. Zinc acetate and ferrous chloride were used as precursors of Zn and Fe, respectively. Fe atomic ratio to Zn varied from 0.15 to 10.0. Substrate temperature was fixed at $250^{\circ}C$. The crystallographic properties and surface morphologies of the films were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. Electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were carried out to analyse the chemical composition and state of Zn and Fe atoms.

Effect of thickness on ZnO properties including the compositional ratio and crystallinity has been systematically investigated using a variety of characterization tools of x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, x-ray fluorescence and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Interestingly, it was observed that ZnO films below 80 nm in thickness were in oxygen deficiency, while the oxygen ratio was increased in the films above the thickness, although the compositional ratio of ZnO film was not linearly varied with increasing film thickness. Also, ZnO crystallinity, which is characterized by (002) diffraction pattern, was clearly improved with increasing film thickness. The properties of ZnO film with different sputtering time and the nature of direct current reactive sputtering process were discussed in terms of compositional ratio, especially oxygen ratio in ZnO film.

Zr을 원료로하는 점화제와 ZrNi를 원료로 하는 지연제로 구성된 파이로테크닉스의 노화현상을 열적/화학적/광학적으로 분석하였다. 열적 분석에는 Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) 와 Thermogravimetry Analysis(TGA)를 통해 열 기반의 반응식을 규명했다. DSC의 결과로 수행한 픽 분석기법 (peak deconvolution)을 통해 각 연료의 노화에 따른 열적 변화를 분석하였다. 화학종 변화 분석에는 Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)와 X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)를 사용하였다. 수분에 의한 산화제의 분해가 연료의 노화에 크게 영향을 미쳤으며, 열에너지 감소의 원인은 연료 표면의 산화막 형성과 산화금속의 형성으로 나타났다.

Friction and wear properties of the Boron carbide ($B_{4}C$) coating 100 nm thickness were studied under various relative humidity (RH). The boron carbide film was deposited on silicon substrate by DC magnetron sputtering method using $B_{4}C$ target with a mixture of Ar and methane ($CH_4$) as precursor gas. Friction tests were performed using a reciprocation type friction tester at ambient environment. Steel balls of 3 mm in diameter were used as counter-specimen. The results indicated that relative humidity strongly affected the tribological properties of boron carbide coating. Friction coefficient decreased from 0.42 to 0.09 as the relative humidity increased from $5\%$ to $85\%$. Confocal microscopy was used to observe worn surfaces of the coating and wear scars on steel balls after the tests. It showed that both the coating surface and the ball were significantly worn-out even though boron carbide is much harder than the steel. Moreover, at low humidity ($5\%$) the boron carbide showed poor wear resistance which resulted in the complete removal of coating layer, whereas at the medium and high humidity conditions, it was not. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) analyses were performed to characterize the chemical composition of the worn surfaces. We suggest that tribochemical reactions occurred during sliding in moisture air to form boric acid on the worn surface of the coating. The boric acid and the tribochemcal layer that formed on steel ball resulted in low friction and wear of boron carbide coating.

Graphene oxide를 ZnCl₂:NaCl 전해질과 함께 교반한 후 순환 전압전류법에 의해 전기화학적으로 제막하여 유기태양전지용 전자수송층 제막과정을 단순화하고 이를 갖는 유기태양전지를 제작하였다. 소자의 구조는 FTO/ZnO:graphene 전자수송층/P3HT:PCBM 광활성층/PEDOT:PSS 정공수송층/Ag이다. ETL의 형태 및 화학적 특성은 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM), X선 광전자 분광법(X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS), 라만 분광법으로 확인하였다. XPS 측정결과 ZnO 금속산화물 및 탄소결합이 동시에 확인되었고, 라만 분광법에서 ZnO와 graphene 피크를 확인하였다. 제작한 태양전지의 전기적 특성을 솔라시뮬레이터로 측정하였고 0.05 V/s의 속도로 2회 제막한 ETL 소자에서 1.94%의 가장 높은 광전변환효율을 나타내었다.

The chemical structure of the interface between Ag with $Li_2O$ and tri (8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq) was investigated by using in-situ characterization of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). $Li_2O$ on Ag had lower barrier height than LiF on Ag. XPS and UPS results show the interaction between $Li_2O$ and Alq leads to gap state formation in HOMO of Alq.

Interface formation between $12CaO{\cdot}7Al_2O_3(C12A7:e^-)$ and Alq3 was investigated using in-situ ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The work function and vacuum level shift of $C12A7:e^-$ were change by different surface treatment from 2.6eV to 4.2eV. Also vacuum level shift $(\Delta)$ at the interface were from +0.3eV to -0.3eV.

Polymer memory devices have attracted considerable attention because of their advantages such as low cost potential, good scalability, flexibility, simplicity in structure, and large capacity for data storage. Metal/poly (4,4'-aminotriphenylene hexafluoroisopropylidenediphthalimide) (6F-TPA PI)/metal system has been found to show an electrical bi-stable behavior. Here, we show a novel set-up of 6F-TPA PI/Al sample in which holes are injected by photoelectron emission process instead of direct charge carrier injection via metal electrode. In this process, an irreversible electrical phase transition of 6F-TPA PI is found, leading to a write-once-read-many (WORM) behavior. The photoelectron spectroscopy results measured before and after the switching process revealed that the irreversible electrical phase transition of 6F-TPA PI is attributed to the chemical modification of the carbonyl group in phthalimide moiety.
