Silicon-carbon composite was prepared by the magnesiothermic reduction of mesoporous silica and subsequent impregnation with a carbon precursor. This was applied for use as an anode material for high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Well-ordered mesoporous silica(SBA-15) was employed as a starting material for the mesoporous silicon, and sucrose was used as a carbon source. It was found that complete removal of by-products ($Mg_2Si$ and $Mg_2SiO_4$) formed by side reactions of silica and magnesium during the magnesiothermic reduction, was a crucial factor for successful formation of mesoporous silicon. Successful formation of the silicon-carbon composite was well confirmed by appropriate characterization tools (e.g., $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses). A lithium-ion battery was fabricated using the prepared silicon-carbon composite as the anode, and lithium foil as the counter-electrode. Electrochemical analysis revealed that the silicon-carbon composite showed better cycling stability than graphite, when used as the anode in the lithium-ion battery. This improvement could be due to the fact that carbon efficiently suppressed the change in volume of the silicon material caused by the charge-discharge cycle. This indicates that silicon-carbon composite, prepared via the magnesiothermic reduction and impregnation methods, could be an efficient anode material for lithium ion batteries.

Surfactant-extracted SBA-15는 약 980 nm의 크기를 가지는 짧은 로드의 입자 모양을 보여주었다. 그리고 표면적과 세공 직경은 각각 730 m²g^-1와 70.8 Å이었다. 한편, 포스트-합성방법(post-synthesis method)을 이용하여 메조세공 내에 아미노실란(3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, APTES)을 그래프팅(grafting) 하였다. 아미노실란으로 개질된 메조다공성 실리카(APTES-SBA-15)는 잘 배열된 세공구조(p6mm)를 가지고 짧은 로드의 입자모양을 잘 유지 하였다.

Carbonized Ni-FDU-15는 구조형성 주형으로 트리블럭 공중합체(F127)를 이용하고, 카본 세공벽 형성 물질로 resol 전구체를 사용하며 질산 니켈(nickel(II) nitrate)을 금속이온 원으로 사용하여 증발유도 자기조립(Evaporation-Induced Self-Assembly, EISA)과 직접 탄화과정을 거쳐서 합성되었다. 메조포러스 카본은 잘 배열된 이차원적 육방체 구조(2D-hexagonal structure)를 가진다. 한편, 세공벽 내 자성체 나노입자는 니켈(Ni) 금속과 니켈 산화물(NiO)이 생성되었다. 나노입자의 크기는 약 37 nm이었다. 그리고 Carbonized Ni-FDU-15의 표면적, 세공크기, 세공부피는 각각 $558m^2g^{-1}$, $22.5{\AA}$ 그리고 $0.5cm^3g^{-1}$이었다. Carbonized Ni-FDU-15는 외부에서 자력을 가하였을 때 자력이 가해지는 방향으로 이동함을 확인하였다. 이러한 자성체 담지 메조포러스 카본 물질은 흡착/분리, 자기 저장 매체, 자성 유체(ferrofluid), 자기 공명 영상(MRI) 및 약물 타겟팅 등의 광범위한 응용 분야에 높은 응용성을 가질 것으로 기대된다.

After anchoring 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyltriethoxysilane (APTES) onto the surfaces of the channels within ordered mesoporous silica, SBA-15, we dispersed $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine into the modified SBA-15 channels. From small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) patterns and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, we confirmed that both the calcined and $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine-incorporated SBA-15 samples possessed ordered periodic structures and hexagonal symmetry lattices (p6mm). The value of the $d_{100}$ spacing was decreased after the incorporation of $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine into the modified SBA-15 channels. We used FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to characterize both the modified SBA-15 and the $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine-incorporated SBA-15 samples. From scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and $N_2$ sorption measurements, we found that the $Cu^{2+}$-perfluorophthalocyanine units were incorporated within the modified SBA-15 channels, rather than on the external surfaces of the modified SBA-15 channels.

Metal oxide gas sensors based on semiconductor type have attracted a great deal of attention due to their low cost, flexible production and simple usability. However, most works have been focused on n-type oxides, while the characteristics of p-type oxide gas sensors have been barely studied. An investigation on p-type oxides is very important in that the use of them makes possible the novel sensors such as p-n diode and tandem devices. Monoclinic cupric oxide (CuO) is p-type semiconductor with narrow band gap (~1.2 eV). This is composed of abundant, nontoxic elements on earth, and thus low-cost, environment-friendly devices can be realized. However, gas sensing properties of neat CuO were rarely explored and the mechanism still remains unclear. In this work, the neat CuO layers with highly ordered mesoporous structures were prepared by a template-free, one-pot solution-based method using novel ink solutions, formulated with copper formate tetrahydrate, hexylamine and ethyl cellulose. The shear viscosity of the formulated solutions was 5.79 Pa s at a shear rate of 1 s-1. The solutions were coated on SiO2/Si substrates by spin-coating (ink) and calcined for 1 h at the temperature of $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ in air. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies of the formed CuO layers were observed by a focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and porosity was determined by image analysis using simple computer-programming. XRD analysis showed phase evolutions of the layers, depending on the calcination temperature, and thermal decompositions of the neat precursor and the formulated ink were investigated by TGA and DSC. As a result, the formation of the porous structures was attributed to the vaporization of ethyl cellulose contained in the solutions. Mesoporous CuO, formed with the ink solution, consisted of grains and pores with nano-meter size. All of them were strongly dependent on calcination temperature. Sensing properties toward H2 and C2H5OH gases were examined as a function of operating temperature. High and fast responses toward H2 and C2H5OH gases were discussed in terms of crystallinity, nonstoichiometry and morphological factors such as porosity, grain size and surface-to-volume ratio. To our knowledge, the responses toward H2 and C2H5OH gases of these CuO gas sensors are comparable to previously reported values.

Recently, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) attracts great attention as a promising alternative to conventional silicon solar cells. One of the key components for the DSSC would be the nanocrystalline TiO2 electrode, and the control of interface between TiO2 and TCO is a highly important issue in improving the photovoltaic conversion efficiency. In this work, we applied various interfacial layers, and analyzed their effect in enhancing photovoltaic properties. In overall, introduction of interfacial layers increased both the Voc and Jsc, since the back-reaction of electrons from TCO to electrolyte could be blocked. First, several metal oxides with different band gaps and positions were employed as interfacial layer. SnO2, TiO2, and ZrO2 nanoparticles in the size of 3-5 nm have been synthesized. Among them, the interfacial layer of SnO2, which has lower flat-band potential than that of TiO2, exhibited the best performance in increasing the photovoltaic efficiency of DSSC. Second, long-range ordered cubic mesoporous TiO2 films, prepared by using triblock copolymer-templated sol-gel method via evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process, were utilized as an interfacial layer. Mesoporous TiO2 films seem to be one of the best interfacial layers, due to their additional effect, improving the adhesion to TCO and showing an anti-reflective effect. Third, we handled the issues related to the optimum thickness of interfacial layers. It was also found that in fabricating DSSC at low temperature, the role of interfacial layer turned out to be a lot more important. The self-assembled interfacial layer fabricated at room temperature leads to the efficient transport of photo-injected electrons from TiO2 to TCO, as well as blocking the back-reaction from TCO to I3-. As a result, fill factor (FF) was remarkably increased, as well as increase in Voc and Jsc.

5 nm의 중형기공(mesopore)을 지녔으며 5~7 nm 굵기의 산화주석($SnO_2$) 나노선 다발이 잘 정렬된 meso-$SnO_2$를 주형합성법을 이용해서 제조하였다. 또한 주형합성법을 변형시켜서 5~7 nm 굵기의 동일한 나노선 다발 사이에 존재하는 중형기공에 주형으로 사용되었던 실리카($SiO_2$)를 일부 남긴 meso-$SnO_2$와 실리카의 복합체인 meso-$SnO_2$/$SiO_2$도 제조하였다. X-선 회절, 질소흡착법, 투과전자현미경을 이용해서 meso-$SnO_2$와 meso-$SnO_2$/$SiO_2$의 구조를 확인하였다. meso-$SnO_2$/$SiO_2$는 meso-$SnO_2$에 비해서 충방전시 발생하는 부피 팽창을 완화할 수 있을 것으로 예측했으며, 순환전압전류곡선, 교류 임피던스 분석, 충방전 전압 Profile 변화를 통해 부피 팽창 완화 효과를 확인하였다. 하지만, 수명 특성 측면에서는 구조 제어 효과가 미비하여, 향후 이를 개선하는 연구가 진행되어야 한다.
