In this work, TCO-less dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) using Ti-mesh layer is fabricated for high-efficient low-cost solar cell application. The Ti-mesh metal can replace TCO in the photo-electrode part of DSCs, thus the cell structure is composed of a glass/dye sensitized TiO2 particle/ Ti-mesh layer/electrolyte/Pt sputtered counter electrode/ glass. The Ti-mesh electrode with high conductivity can collect electrons from the $TiO_2$ layer and allows the ionic diffusion of $I^-/I_3^-$ through the mesh hole. Thin Ti-mesh ($\sim40{\mu}m$ in thickness) electrode material is processed using rapid prototype method. The efficiency of prepared TCO-less DSCs sample is about 1.45 % ((ff: 0.5, Voc: 0.52V, Jsc: 5.55 $mA/cm^2$).

대기 중 오존 농도의 증가가 빈번하여 짐에 따라 오존을 유발시키는 전구물질인 탄화수소의 관리에 대한 관심이 최근 크게 늘고 있다. 따라서 점점 많은 실험실에서 오존 전구물질에 대한 측정이 이루어지고 있거나 준비를 하고 있다. 오존 전구물질은 매우 많은 탄화수소로 구성되어 있어 복잡한 혼합성분으로 대기중에 존재하며, 농도 또한 매우 미량(low ppb)으로 낮아서 매우 까다로운 VOC 분석법을 요구한다. 그러므로 매우 많은 분석오차 요인이 측정과정에서 관여되어 있으며, 이로 인하여 측정 정확도의 관리, 유지가 어렵다. (중략)

Vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) is a promising treatment method for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This study focuses on a VSA process for regenerating activated carbon spent with VOCs, and then investigates its adsorption capacities. Toluene was selected as the test VOC molecule, and the VSA regeneration experiments results were compared to the thermal swing adsorption process. Cyclic adsorption-desorption experiments were performed using a lab-scale apparatus with commercial activated carbon (Samchully Co.). The VSA regeneration was performed in air (0.5 L/min) at 363.15 K and 13,332 Pa. The comparative results depicted that in terms of VSA regeneration, it was found that after the fifth regeneration, about a 90% regeneration ratio was maintained. These experiments thus confirm that the VSA regeneration process has good recovery while operating at low temperatures (363.15 K) and 13,332 Pa.

Corrosion protection of automotive steels has traditionally been assured by using a zinc phosphate metal pretreatment followed by the deposition of a cathodic electrocoat system. This system has been developed and optimized over the years into a highly robust and dependable system with a high performance. However, in terms of efficiency and use of resources and energy, the need is now felt to develop a simpler system with fewer steps, shorter lines, less energy requirements (curing and e-coat deposition) and less stringent waste disposal requirement (phosphate sludge). We report here on the development of a one-step system that can possibly replace both the zinc phosphate and the e-coating processes. Such a system is based on the so-called superprimer concept that we have recently developed for the replacement of chromate pretreatment and chromate-containing primers in the aerospace industry. With some modifications, such systems can also be adapted for use in the automotive industry.

일반적으로 결정질 silicon solar cell의 에미터 층의 면저항이 높아짐에 따라 표면에서의 재결합이 줄어들고, Voc가 상승한다. 그러나 에미터 층의 면저항이 높을 경우 전면에서의 전극 저항과 에미터에 흐르는 캐리어에 의한 저항 손실이 커져 태양전지의 효율을 저하시키는데, 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 selective emitter에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있지만 이는 공정 과정이 다소 복잡하다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 투명 전도막 재료 중의 하나인 ITO를 결정질 실리콘 태양전지에 적용하여 위의 문제점을 해결하였다. 낮은 농도로 도핑한 에미터 층 위에 ITO를 증착시켜 cell을 제작하였으며, 완성된 high Rs cell의 결과를 기존의 low Rs cell의 특성과 비교, 분석하였다.

일반적인 FOCV MPPT는 VOC와 VMPP와의 관계인 ${\alpha}$를 외부에서 지정해준다. 하지만 외부환경 (조도나 온도)에 따라서 태양전지의 ${\alpha}$값이 변화할 가능성이 있다. 본 논문에서는 저전력 IoT 센서의 구동을 위한 태양열 에너지 하베스팅을 위해 IV Curve를 이용한 태양전지 전력 계싼회로를 제안한다. IV Curve를 이용한 태양전지 전력을 직접 계산하여 FOCV MPPT를 개선함으로써 보다 높은 효율의 MPPT가 가능하고 외부환경의 변화에도 충분히 Maximum Power Point Tracking이 가능해지게 된다.

In this paper, we study The Effects of PV Cell's Electrical Characteristics for PV Module Application. Photovoltaic module consists of serially connected solar cell which has low open circuit voltage and high short circuit current characteristics. The whole current flow of PV module is restricted by lowest current of one solar cell. For the experiment, we make PV module composing the solar cells that have short circuit current difference of 0%, 1%, 3% and Random. The PV module exposed about 35days, its the maximum power drop ratio was 4.282% minimum and 6.657% maximum. And PV module of low current characteristics has electrical stress from other modules. The solar cell temperature of PV module was higher compared to PV cell. To prevent early degradation, it is need to have attention to PV cell selection.

Microcrystalline silicon(c-Si:H) thin-film solar cells are prepared with intrinsic Si-layer by hot wire CVD. The operating parameters of solar cells are strongly affected by the filament temperature ($T_f$) during intrinsic layer. Jsc and efficiency abruptly decreases with elevated $T_f$ to $1400^{\circ}C$. This deterioration of solar cell parameters are resulted from increase of crystalline volume fraction and corresponding defect density at high $T_f$. The heater temperature ($T_h$) are also critical parameter that controls device operations. Solar cells prepared at low $T_h$ ($<200^{\circ}C$) shows a similar operating properties with devices prepared at high $T_f$, i.e. low Jsc, Voc and efficiency. The origins for this result, however, are different with that of inferior device performances at high $T_f$. In addition the phase transition of the silicon films occurs at different silane concentration (SC) by varying filament temperature, by which highest efficiency with SC varies with $T_f$.

SPME techniques have proven to be very useful tools in the analysis of wide VOCs in the air. In this study, we estimated VOCs in ambient and workplace air using a Tedlar ba /SPME/GC/MS system. The calibration curve was set to be linear over the range of 1-30 ppbv. The detection limits ranged from 10 pptv to 0.93 ppbv for all VOCs. Reproducibility of TO-14 target gas mixtures by SPME/GC/MS averaged at 8.8 R.S.D (%). Air toxic VOCs (hazardous air pollutants, HAPs) containing a total of forty halohydrocarbons, aromatics, and haloaro-matic carbons could be analyzed with significant accuracy, detection limit and linearity at low ppbv level. Only reactive VOCs with low molecular weight, such as chloromethane, vinylchloride, ethylchloride and 1,2-dichloro-ethane, yielded relatively poor results using this technique. In ambient air samples, ten VOCs were identified and quantified after external calibration. VOC concentration in ambient and workplace air ranged from 0.04 to 1.85 ppbv. The overall process was successfully applied to identify and quantify VOCs in ambient/workplace air.

Photovoltaic module consists of serially connected solar cell which has low voltage characteristics. But, the other way, the whole current flow of PV module is restricted by lowest current of one solar cell. For the experiment, we make PV module composing the solar cells that have short circuit current difference of 0%, 1%, 3% and 5%. Using Light I-V and Dark I-V measurements, electrical characteristic parameters like Isc(short-circuit current), Voc(open-circuit voltage), Rs(series resistance), Rsh(shunt resistance) are analyzed. PV module of low current characteristics has electrical stress from other modules. And, such a module has a tendency of hot-spot suffering which leads degradation.
