We establish a visible light emission from porous polycrystalline silicon nano structure(PPNS). The PPNS layer are formed on heavily doped n-type Si substrate. 2um thickness of undoped polycrystalline silicon deposited using LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) anodized in a HF: ethanol(=1:1) as functions of anodizing conditions. And then a PPNS layer thermally oxidized for 1 hr at $900^{\circ}C$. Subsequently, thin metal Au as a top electrode deposited onto the PPNS surface by E-beam evaporator and, in order to establish ohmic contact, an thermally evaporated Al was deposited on the back side of a Si-substrate. When the top electrode biased at +6V, the electron emission observed in a PPNS which caused by field-induces electron emission through the top metal. Among the PPNSs as functions of anodization conditions, the PPNS anodized at a current density of $10mA/cm^{2}$ for 20 sec has a lower turn-on voltage and a higher emission current. Furthermore, the behavior of electron emission is uniformly maintained.

Anodic oxidation treatment of metals is one of typical surface finishing methods which has been used for improving surface appearance, bioactivity, adhesion with paints and the resistances to corrosion and/or abrasion. This article provides fundamental principle, type and characteristics of the anodic oxidation treatment methods, including anodizing method and plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method. The anodic oxidation can form thick oxide films on the metal surface by electrochemical reactions under the application of electric current and voltage between the working electrode and auxiliary electrode. The anodic oxide films are classified into two types of barrier type and porous type. The porous anodic oxide films include a porous anodizing film containing regular pores, nanotubes and PEO films containing irregular pores with different sizes and shapes. Thickness and defect density of the anodic oxide films are important factors which affect the corrosion resistance of metals. The anodic oxide film thickness is limited by how fast ions can migrate through the anodic oxide film. Defect density in the anodic oxide film is dependent upon alloying elements and second-phase particles in the alloys. In this article, the principle and mechanisms of formation and growth of anodic oxide films on metals are described.

The nitrogen doped porous carbon nanopolyhedrons (N-PCNPs)-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) hybrid materials were prepared for the first time. Combining the excellent catalytic activities, good electrical conductivities and high surface areas of N-PCNPs and MWCNTs, the simultaneous determination of hydroquinone (HQ), catechol (CC) and resorcinol (RE) with good analytical performance was achieved at the N-PCNPs-MWCNTs modified electrode. The linear response ranges for HQ, CC and RE are 0.2-455 ${\mu}M$, 0.7-440 ${\mu}M$ and 3.0-365 ${\mu}M$, respectively, and the detection limits (S/N = 3) are $0.03{\mu}M$, $0.11{\mu}M$ and $0.38{\mu}M$, respectively. These results are much better than that obtained on some graphene or CNTs-based materials modified electrodes. Furthermore, the developed sensor was successfully applied to simultaneously detect HQ, CC and RE in the local river water samples.

The electrochemical behavior on electrographite and graphite foil electrode with porous surface in 0.5 M $K_{2}SO_{4}$ solution with 1 mM $[Fe(CN)_{6}]^{3-}/[Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-}$ have been characterized by impedance spectroscopy. In cyclic voltammograms, relative high current according to structure of porous surface for graphite materials was represented, and indicated hgih double layer capacitance on graphite foil. The faraday-impedance and the change of impedance spectrum on both graphite materials were not remarkable during polarization by reaction of field transport. Chemical adsorption was represented on electrographite and was depended highly at anodic polarization.

A nano-porous structure of tin oxide was prepared using an anodic oxidation process and the sample's electrochemical properties were evaluated for application as an anode in a rechargeable lithium battery. Microscopic images of the as-anodized sample indicated that it has a nano-porous structure with an average pore size of several tens of nanometers and a pore wall size of about 10 nanometers; the structural/compositional analyses proved that it is amorphous stannous oxide (SnO). The powder form of the as-anodized specimen was satisfactorily lithiated and delithiated as the anode in a lithium battery. Furthermore, it showed high initial reversible capacity and superior rate performance when compared to previous fabrication attempts. Its excellent electrode performance is probably due to the effective alleviation of strain arising from a cycling-induced large volume change and the short diffusion length of lithium through the nano-structured sample. To further enhance the rate performance, the attempt was made to create porous tin oxide film on copper substrate by anodizing the electrodeposited tin. Nevertheless, the full anodization of tin film on a copper substrate led to the mechanical disintegration of the anodic tin oxide, due most likely to the vigorous gas evolution and the surface oxidation of copper substrate. The adhesion of anodic tin oxide to the substrate, together with the initial reversibility and cycling stability, needs to be further improved for its application to high-power electrode materials in lithium batteries.

In order to develop SOFC cell performance, many kind of things were investigated. Electrode microstructure is the one of them therefore we focus on electrodes fabrication easily and efficiently. We can fabricate electrodes easily with Pt using DC magnetron sputtering and sintering. However sputtering is difficult to handle and to grow porous electrodes what we require. On the other hand sintering is much easier than sputtering to make porous and adhesive electrodes. So in this paper we deal with sintering and optimize to deposit electrodes conditions by analyzing electrode microstructure with sacnning electron microscopy(SEM) micrograph. Also, we compare electrochemical performance of cells fabricated by sputtering and sintering.

Photonic crystals containing multiple rugate structure are prepared by electrochemical etchings. Typically etched rugate PSi prepared in this study. Etching is carried out in a Teflon cell by using a two-electrode configuration with a Pt mesh counter electrode. They exhibit sharp photonic band gaps in the optical reflectivity spectrum. This reflectivity can be tuned to appear anywhere in the visible to near-infrared spectral range, depending on the programmed etch waveform. We study the method of full width half maxima and reflectivity index control by using amplitude.

본 논문에서는 Porous Au-Pt 전극을 기반으로 연료전극과 공기전극으로 구성된 초소형 메탄올 센서를 설계 및 제작하고 그 특성을 분석해 보았다. 제안된 Porous Au-Pt 전극은 Porous 구조의 금속을 만드는 방법 중 하나인 Templating기법을 적용하여 수백나노 크기의 Pore들을 가진 Porous Au 전극을 제작하였고 그 위에 수 나노 크기의 Pt particles을 전해 도금하여 제작되었다. 고분자 전해질막 층으로서 Nafion film은 전해 도금한 Porous Au-Pt 전극 사이에 삽입하고 hot Pressing 통하여 센서를 구성하였다. Porous Au-Pt 전극을 기반으로한 전기화학 메탄올 센서는 $0.25\;cm^2$ 의 작은 전극 면적에도 불구하고 넓은 온도 범위 ($20^{\circ}C-100^{\circ}C$) 에서 온도에 따른 뛰어난 선형성(Correlation coefficient = 0.986)을 보였으며, 특히, 일정온도 ($60^{\circ}C$)에서 메탄올 농도 0 M에서 2 M 까지의 전류응답 특성을 측정, 분석 결과 메탄올 농도에 따른 9.6 mA/$mM{\cdot}cm^2$ 의 민감도 및 10 초 이내의 응답시간 특성을 보였다.
