기초 과학 진흥과 과학의 대중화를 위한 노력의 일환으로 과학기술부는 2004년을 '과학문화의 해', 2005년을 '물리의 해', 2006년을 '화학의 해', 2007년을 '생물의 해' 그리고 2008년을 '지구의 해'로 정해 다양한 행사를 기획 시행하였고, 하고 있다. 2006년 '화학의 해'에는 화학을 소재로 한 각종 전시 행사 및 대회가 개최되었다. 과학연극 '산소'의 무료 전국순회공연이 있었고, 이동화학관은 2006년도뿐만 아니라 올해도 분주하게 전국투어를 하고 있다. 한국방송공사(KBS)에서는 '화학의 해'를 기념하여 특별기획 프로그램을 여러 차례 방영하였다. 이만큼 '화학의 해'에는 화학이 대중들에게 가까이 다가갔었다. 이 같은 환경 속에서 2006년 화학의 해에 대중매체 중 일간지에서는 화학이 어떻게 그려졌었는지, 그것은 대중들에게 어떻게 보여 졌는지 궁금하였다. 이에 국내 4대 일간지를 선정 '화학의 해'인 2006년에 보도된 화학 관련 기사를 여러 검색어를 이용 검색하여 기사에 나타난 화학의 이미지를 분석하였다. 검색어는 화학 관련 단어를 설문조사하여 빈도수가 가장 많은 5개의 단어 선정하였고, 이를 인터넷 신문사 검색 창에 입력하여 기사를 찾았다. 찾아진 기사는 연구자들이 읽어가면서 화학 관련된 것을 선별하였고, 선별된 기사들을 읽어 기사 속 화학의 이미지를 긍정과 부정 그리고 기사의 속성 등으로 분석하였다. 대중매체에 제시되는 화학의 이미지는 대중들에게 가장 쉽게 전달될 수 있는 경로이므로 대중매체에 나타나는 화학의 이미지는 음양으로 대중들에게 커다란 영향을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

Closely arranged CdSe and Zn doped CdSe vertical nanorod bundles were grown directly on FTO coated glass by using electrodeposition method. Structural analysis by XRD showed the hexagonal phase without any precipitates related to Zn. FE-SEM image showed end capped vertically aligned nanorods arranged closely. From the UV-vis transmittance spectra, band gap energy was found to vary between 1.94 and 1.98 eV due to the incorporation of Zn. Solar cell parameters were obtained by assembling photoelectrochemical cells using CdSe and CdSe:Zn photoanodes, Pt cathode and polysulfide (1M $Na_2S$ + 1M S + 1M NaOH) electrolyte. The efficiency was found to increase from 0.16 to 0.22 upon Zn doping. Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) indicate that the charge-transfer resistance on the FTO/CdSe/polysulfide interface was greater than on FTO/CdSe:Zn/polysulfide. Cyclic voltammetry results also indicate that the FTO/CdSe:Zn/polysulfide showed higher activity towards polysulfide redox reaction than that of FTO/CdSe/polysulfide.

The solvent-dependent photophysical properties of 2-biphenylcarboxylic acid (2BPCA) and 4-biphenylcarboxylic acid(4BPCA), which have a pre-twisted conformation in the ground state, have been investigated. The fluorescence spectra of 4BPCA show vibrational structure with a non-mirror image to the absorption spectra in nonpolar solvent while those of 2BPCA show no structure even in nonpolar solvents. As the solvent polarity increases, the fluorescence spectra become diffuse and broad with a strong red shift resulting in the large Stokes shift. The large fluorescence Stokes shift of BPCA's in polar solvent is also partially due to an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) interaction in the excited state, as demonstrated by the large dipole moment in the excited state (7.6-10.6 D). The fluorescence decay behaviors of BPCA's (decay-times and their pre-exponential factors) also depend on solvent polarity in agreement with the solvent-dependent properties of the steady-state fluorecence. The data have been discussed in terms of change in the excited-state potential energy surface with respect to change of the dihedral angle of biphenyl moiety.

The Cu and CuSn/PVP nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning method by controlling various parameters. The precursor solution was prepared with copper(II) acetate monohydrate ($Cu(CH_3COO)_2$) and tin chloride dihydrate ($SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$), and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) for adjusting viscosity. The fabricated nanofibers were calcined at 873 K in Ar atmospheric environment for 5 hours to remove the solvent and polymer. The morphology and diameter of nanofibers were measured by optical microscopy (OM) with Motic image plus 2.0 program. The components and chemical environment were investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). From the XPS survey spectra, we confirmed that CuSn/PVP nanofibers were successfully fabricated. The XPS peaks of C 1s and N 1s were remarkably decreased after calcination of the nanofibers at 873 K. It implies that the PVP was completely decomposed after calcination at 873 K.

To investigate the scattering layer effect of a $TiO_2$ multilayer in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we designed a new DSSC system, assembled with a CdS-$TiO_2$ scattering layer electrode. A high-magnification SEM image exhibited hollyhock-like particles with a width of 1.5-2.0 ${\mu}m$ that were aggregated into 10-nm clumps in a hexagonal petal shape. The efficiency was higher in the DSSC assembled with a CdS-$TiO_2$ scattering layer than in the DSSC assembled with $TiO_2$-only layers, due to the decreased resistance in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The short-circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) was increased by approximately 7.26% and the open-circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) by 2.44% over the 1.0 wt % CdS-$TiO_2$ composite scattering layer and the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) in the maximum peak was also enhanced by about 5.0%, compared to the DSSC assembled without the CdS-$TiO_2$scattering layer.

The L-Valinate anion coordinating zinc complex, [$Zn(val)_2(H-2O)$], was isolated and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The crystal possess orthorhombic symmetry with a space group $P2_12_12_1$, Z = 4, and a = 7.4279(2)$\AA$, b = 9.4342(2)$\AA$, c =20.5862(7)$\AA$ respectively. The compound features a penta-coordinate zinc ion in which the two valine anion molecules are directly coordinating the central zinc metal ion via their N (amine) and O (carboxylate) atoms, and an additional coordination to zinc is made by water molecule (solvent) to form a distorted square pyramidal structure. In addition, further synthesis of the valine capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystal from the reaction of [$Zn(val)_2(H-2O)$] precursor with $Na_2S$ and 1.95 weight % of $Mn^{2+}$ dopant is described. Obtained valine capped nanocrystal was water dispersible and was optically characterized by UV-vis and solution PL spectroscopy. The solution PL spectrum for the valine capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystal showed an excitation peak at 280 nm and a very narrow emission peak at 558 nm respectively. The measured and calculated PL efficiency of the nanocrystal in water was 15.8%. The obtained powders were characterized by XRD, HR-TEM, and EDXS analyses. The particle size of the nanocrystal was also measured via a TEM image. The measured average particle size was 3.3 nm.

오늘날 유기고분자기반 태양전지는 다른 태양전지와 비교될 정도로 낮은 광변환효율로 인해 효율향 상을 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 그중 패터닝을 통한 광포집률과 charge carrier 수집효율이 증가되었다는 많은 보고들이 있었다. 따라서 우리는 200~1,400 nm polystyrene bead를 합성하여 air-liquid interfacial 방법을 이용해 2차원 육방조밀구조를 갖는 template를 형성하고 Nanosphere lithography (NSL)를 이용하여 대면적으로 균일한 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)를 패턴화하였다. 균일한 패턴형성을 측정하기위해 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), image를 얻었으며, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)를 통해 형성된 패턴의 낙차 높이를 얻었고, Near IR-UV-Vis을 통해 bead size 변화에따라 얻어진 PEDOT:PSS 패턴의 반사율을 측 정하였다.

Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC) is a known to modulate the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in 3T3-L1. However, the possible role of DPHC in integument stability during obesity induction is not clear yet. We evaluated the effects of DPHC on collagen or elastic fiber quantity in integument during obesity induction with high-fat diet. The dorsal back integument sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, Masson trichrome, and Verhoff-Van Gieson. The intensities of collagen fibers and elastin fibers were analyzed with ImageJ. The number of fibroblasts was counted at ${\times}1,000$ fields. The number of fibroblast was increased by obesity induction, but DPHC suppressed it in a concentration-dependent manner both in lean and obese mice. On the other hand, the intensities of collagen fibers were increased by DPHC treatment in obese mice groups but not in lean mice groups. The intensities of collagen fibers of obese mice were lower than that of the lean mice in 0% group. However, the number became similar between lean and obese mice by the treatment of DPHC. The intensity of elastic fibers was increased in the lean mice with the concentration of DPHC. In the obese mice group, there were increasing patterns but only significant at 10% DPHC group. The intensity of elastic fibers of obese mice was higher than lean mice in 0%, 1%, and 10% groups. Histologically epithelial cells and follicle cells which were diffused nuclear staining forms were increased by DPHC treatment. The results suggest that the activity of integument cells during obesity induction can be modulated by DPHC.
