Breath analysis is rapidly evolving as a non-invasive disease recognition and diagnosis method. Metal oxide gas sensors are one of the most ideal platforms for realizing portable, hand-held breath analysis devices in the near future. This paper reviewed the recent developments in metal oxide gas sensors detecting exhaled biomarker gases such as nitric oxides, acetone, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrocarbons. Emphasis was placed on strategies to tailor sensing materials/films capable of highly selective and sensitive detection of biomarker gases with negligible cross-response to ethanol, the major interfering breath gas. Specific examples were given to highlight the validity of the strategies, which include optimization of sensing temperature, doping additives, utilizing acid-base interaction, loading catalysts, and controlling gas reforming reaction. In addition, we briefly discussed the design and optimization method of gas sensor arrays for implementing the simultaneous assessment of multiple diseases. Breath analysis using high-performance metal oxide gas sensors/arrays will open new roads for point-of-care diagnosis of diseases such as asthma, diabetes, kidney dysfunction, halitosis, and lung cancer.

Nano-structured polyaniline have been synthesized by interfacial polymerization method at room temperature. An aqueous solution of aniline in chloroform and another solution of ammonium peroxydisulfate in doping acid were prepared at different times terminated with methanol at room temperature. SEM, UV-vis were used to characterize the polyaniline with regard to their morphology and structure. The diameter and length of polyaniline can be controlled by the reaction time. Nano-structured polyaniline were found to have superior sensitivity for volatile organic compounds(VOCs). As the reaction time to increase from 30minute to 2hours the sensitivity were decreased to VOCs vapors. The sensitivity of Nano-structured polyaniline sensor appeared to VOCs better than the sensitivity of chemical synthesis sensors. The sensitivity of Nano-structured polyaniline sensor improved benzene vapors.

In this paper, we investigated the electrical properties of crystalline silicon solar cell fabricated with Ni/Cu/Ag plating. The laser process was used to ablate silicon nitride layer as well as to form the selective emitter. Phosphoric acid layer was spin-coated to prevent damage caused by laser and formed selective emitter during laser process. As a result, the contact resistance was decreased by lower sheet resistance in electrode region. Low sheet resistance was obtained by increasing laser current, but efficiency and open circuit voltage were decreased by damage on the wafer surface. KOH treatment was used to remove the laser damage on the silicon surface prior to metalization of the front electrode by Ni/Cu/Ag plating. Ni and Cu were plated for each 4 minutes and 16 minutes and very thin layer of Ag with $1{\mu}m$ thickness was plated onto Ni/Cu electrode for 30 seconds to prevent oxidation of the electrode. The silicon solar cells with KOH treatment showed the 0.2% improved efficiency compared to those without treatment.

$NanoTiO_2$ was synthesized by ultrasonication assisted sol-gel process and subjected to iron doping and carbon-iron codoping. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, HR-SEM, EDX, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and BET specific surface area analysis. The average crystallite size of pure $TiO_2$ was in the range of 30 - 33 nm, and that of Fe-$TiO_2$ and C-Fe $TiO_2$ was in the range of 7 - 13 nm respectively. The specific surface area of the iron doped and carbon-iron codoped nanoparticles was around $105m^2/g$ and $91m^2/g$ respectively. The coupled semiconductor photo-Fenton's activity of the synthesized catalysts was evaluated by the degradation of a cationic dye (C.I. Basic blue 9) and an anionic dye (C.I. Acid orange 52) with concurrent investigation on the operating variables such as pH, catalyst dosage, oxidant concentration and initial pollutant concentration. The most efficient C-Fe codoped catalyst was found to effectively destruct synthetic dyes and potentially treat real textile effluent achieving 93.4% of COD removal under minimal solar intensity (35-40 kiloLUX). This reveals the practical applicability of the process for the treatment of real wastewater in both high and low insolation regimes.

Alkaline oxygen electrocatalysis, targeting anion exchange membrane alkaline-based metal-air batteries has become a subject of intensive investigation because of its advantages compared to its acidic counterparts in reaction kinetics and materials stability. However, significant breakthroughs in the design and synthesis of efficient oxygen reduction catalysts from earth-abundant elements instead of precious metals in alkaline media still remain in high demand. One of the most inexpensive alternatives is carbonaceous materials, which have attracted extensive attention either as catalyst supports or as metal-free cathode catalysts for oxygen reduction. Also, carbon composite materials have been recognized as the most promising because of their reasonable balance between catalytic activity, durability, and cost. In particular, heteroatom (e.g., N, B, S or P) doping on carbon materials can tune the electronic and geometric properties of carbon, providing more active sites and enhancing the interaction between carbon structure and active sites. Here, we focused on boron and nitrogen doped nanocarbon composit (BNC nanocarbon) catalysts synthesized by a solution plasma process using the simple precursor of pyridine and boric acid without further annealing process. Additionally, guidance for rational design and synthesis of alkaline ORR catalysts with improved activity is also presented.

광석에서 순도 높은 금은을 추출하기 위해 사용된 청화법으로부터 시안이 유출되어 광석 내 존재하는 중금속들과 결합하여 다양한 형태의 시안화합물이 생성된다. 이러한 시안화합물은 난분해성 오염물질로서 인간을 포함한 생태계에 악영향을 끼친다. 결합력에 따라서 중금속과 결합한 시안화합물은 공유결합성 화합물(weak acid dissociable, WAD)과 착화합물(strong acid dissociable, SAD) 등으로 분류할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시안화합물의 존재 형태별 광촉매 산화 효율을 비교 평가하였다. 특히 자외선 LED 광원의 파장과 광촉매 표면 개질이 시안화합물의 분해에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험 결과, 동일한 광촉매 산화 조건에서 자유 시안보다는 중금속과 결합한 시안화합물의 광산화 분해 효율이 떨어짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 자유 시안의 경우에는 짧은 파장에서 광촉매 산화가 효과적이었지만 중금속과 결합한 시안화합물의 경우에는 긴 파장에서 광산화 분해능이 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 광촉매 표면 개질에 의하여 광촉매 산화 공정의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

폴리아닐린(PANI)-stearic acid(SA) 복합물의 단분자막이 공기-물 계면에서 형성되었으며, 계면활성제인 stearic acid는 PANI 단분자막의 형성을 증진시키는데 사용되었다. Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) 기법을 사용하여 약 1의 전이비와 Y형태를 갖는 균일한 PANI-SA의 다층막을 제조하였다. HCI 또는 $I_2$의 도핑에 의해 $10^{-1}{\sim}10^{-2}S/cm$의 높은 전기 전도도를 갖는 PANI-SA 복합막의 LB 필름을 얻었고, 그 값은 전형적인 PANI-HCl 착제와 비슷한 전도도를 나타냈다. 특히 $I_2$는 전자수용체/감광체/전자공여체로 구성된 MIM 분자 device에서 고분자 전극으로 사용하는데 뛰어난 안정성을 제공해 주기 때문에 가장 적합한 도판트로 밝혀졌다. PANI-SA LB 필름의 구조와 물리적 성질은 near-ir UV, FT-IR과 Cyclic voltammetry를 통해 조사하였다.

폴리아닐린(polyaniline, PANI)과 도판트인 camphorsulfonic acid(CSA), dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid(DBSA)와 의몰비 변화에 따라 가상 n형 PANI을 제조하였다. FT-IR측정으로부터 도핑유무를 확인하였고, indium thin oxide(ITO)에 코팅하여 제조한 전극에 대해, 순환전압전류법과 교류임피던스법을 이용하여 도판트의 영향을 조사하였다. FT-IR과 순환전압전류법으로부터, 제조된 전극이 양이온의 도핑-탈도핑이 일어나는 가상 n형의 특성을 가짐을 확인하였다. 순환전압전류법에서 산화-환원 피크전류값은 PANI/DBSA에 비하여 PANI/CSA가 약 5 배정도 더 큰 결과를 보였다. 교류임피던스법으로부터, 두 전극 모두 이상적인 Randles의 등가회로와 유사한 거동을 보였다. 전하이동저항은 PANI/CSA에서 $1.14~1.09 k{\Omega}$으로 거의 일정한 값을 보였고, PANI/DBSA는 DBSA 몰 비에 증가에 따라 $27.73{\sim}8.37K{\Omega}$으로 감소하여 나타났다. 이중층용량 또한 PANI/CSA는 $13.47{\sim}14.59 {\mu}F$으로 거의 일정하였으나, PANI/DBSA는 DBSA 몰 비 증가에 따라 $0.49{\sim}l.20 {\mu}F$으로 증가를 보였다. 결과적으로 PANI/CSA의 전기적 특성이 더 좋았으나, 도판트의 몰 비 증가에 따른 특성은 PANI/CSA 전극은 거의 일정하였고, PANI/DBSA 전극은 전기적 활성이 좋아짐을 알 수 있었다.

Different weight percentages of Ag, Pt, and Au doped nano $TiO_2$ were synthesized using the acetic acid hydrolyzed sol-gel method. The crystallite phase, surface morphology combined with elemental composition and light absorption properties of the doped nano $TiO_2$ were comprehensively examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), $N_2$ sorption analysis, transmission electron microscopic (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray, and DRS UV-vis analysis. The doping of noble metals stabilized the anatase phase, without conversion to rutile phase. The formation of gold nano particles in Au doped nano $TiO_2$ was confirmed from the XRD patterns for gold. The specific surface area was found to be in the range 50 to 85 $m^2$/g. TEM images confirmed the formation a hexagonal plate like morphology of nano $TiO_2$. The photocatalytic activity of doped nano $TiO_2$ was evaluated using 4-chlorophenol as the model pollutant. Au doped (0.5 wt %) nano $TiO_2$ was found to exhibit higher photocatalytic activity than the other noble metal doped nano $TiO_2$, pure nano $TiO_2$ and commercial $TiO_2$ (Degussa P-25). This enhanced photocatalytic activity was due to the cathodic influence of gold in suppressing the electron-hole recombination during the reaction.
