In this study, we prepare polymer solar cells incorporating organic ligand-modified Ag nanoparticles (O-AgNPs) highly dispersed in the P3HT:PCBM layer. Ag nanoparticles decorated with water-dispersible ligands (W-AgNPs) were also utilized as a control sample. The existence of the ligands on the Ag surface was confirmed by FT-IR spectra. Metal nanoparticles with different surface chemistries exhibited different dispersion tendencies. O-AgNPswere highly dispersed even at high concentrations, whereas W-AgNPs exhibited significant aggregation in the polymerlayer. Both dispersion and blending concentration of the Ag nanoparticles in P3HT:PCBM matrix had critical effects onthe device performance as well as light absorption. The significant changes in short-circuit current density (JSC) of thesolar cells seemed to be related to the change in the polymer morphology according to the concentration of AgNPsintroduced. These findings suggested the importance of uniform dispersion of plasmonic metal nanoparticles and theirblending concentration conditions in order to boost the solar cell performance.

FeS2 has been widely used for cathode materials in thermal battery because of its high stability and currentcapability at high operation temperature. Salts such as a LiCl-KCl were added as a binder for improving electrical per-formance and formability of FeS2 cathode powder. In this study, the effects of the addition of Li2O in LiCl-KCl binderon the formability of FeS2 powder compact were investigated. With the increasing amount of Li2O addition to LiCl-KClbinder salts, the strength of the pressed compacts increased considerably when the powder mixture were pre-heat-treatedabove 350oC. The heat-treatment resulted in promoting the coating coverage of FeS2 particles by the salts as Li2O wasadded. The observed coating as Li2O addition might be attributed to the enhanced wettability of the salt rather than itsreduced melting temperature. The high strength of compacts by the Li2O addition and pre-heat-treatment could improvethe formability of FeS2 raw materials.

This study reports a simple way of fabricating the porous Cu with unidirectional pore channels by freezedrying camphene slurry with Cu oxide coated Cu powders. The coated powders were prepared by calcination of ball-milled powder mixture of Cu and Cu-nitrate. Improved dispersion stability of camphene slurry could be achieved usingthe Cu oxide coated Cu powders instead of pure Cu powders. Pores in the frozen specimen at -25oC were generated bysublimation of the camphene during drying in air, and the green bodies were sintered at 750oC for 1 h in H2 atmo-sphere. XRD analysis revealed that the coated layer of Cu oxide was completely converted to Cu phase without anyreaction phases by hydrogen heat treatment. The porous Cu specimen prepared from pure Cu powders showed partlylarge pores with unidirectional pore channels, but most of pores were randomly distributed. In contrast, large andaligned parallel pores to the camphene growth direction were clearly observed in the sample using Cu oxide coated Cupowders. Pore formation behavior depending on the initial powders was discussed based on the degree of powder rear-rangement and dispersion stability in slurry.

In this study, nanocrystalline Cu-Ni bulk materials with various compositions were cold compacted by a shock compaction method using a single-stage gas gun system. Since the oxide layers on powder surface disturbs bonding between powder particles during the shock compaction process, each nanopowder was hydrogen-reduced to remove the oxide layers. X-ray peak analysis shows that hydrogen reduction successfully removed the oxide layers from the nano powders. For the shock compaction process, mixed powder samples with various compositions were prepared using a roller mixer. After the shock compaction process, the density of specimens increased up to 95% of the relative density. Longitudinal cross-sections of the shock compacted specimen demonstrates that a boundary between two powders are clearly distinguished and agglomerated powder particles remained in the compacted bulk. Internal crack tended to decrease with an increase in volumetric ratio of nano Cu powders in compacted bulk, showing that nano Cu powders has a higher coherency than nano Ni powders. On the other hand, hardness results are dominated by volume fraction of the nano Ni powder. The crystalline size of the shock compacted bulk materials was greatly reduced from the initial powder crystalline size since the shock wave severely deformed the powders.

Leaching of MOCVD dust in the LED industry is an essential stage for hydro-metallurgical recovery of pure Ga and In. To recover Ga and In, the leaching behavior of MOCVD scrap of an LED, which contains significant amounts of Ga, In, Al and Fe in various phases, has been investigated. The leaching process must be performed effectively to maximize recovery of Ga and In metals using the most efficient lixiviant. Crystalline structure and metallic composition of the raw MOCVD dust were analyzed prior to digestion. Subsequently, various mineral acids were tested to comprehensively study and optimize the leaching parameters such as acidity, pulp density, temperature and time. The most effective leaching of Ga and In was observed for a boiling 4 M HCl solution vigorously stirred at 400 rpm. Phase transformation of GaN into gallium oxide by heat treatment also improved the leaching efficiency of Ga. Subsequently high purity Ga and In can be recovered by series of hydro processes.

In this study, nano-scale copper powders were reduction treated in a hydrogen atmosphere at the relativelyhigh temperature of 350℃ in order to eliminate surface oxide layers, which are the main obstacles for fabricating anano/ultrafine grained bulk parts from the nano-scale powders. The changes in composition and microstructure beforeand after the hydrogen reduction treatment were evaluated by analyzing X-ray diffraction (XRD) line profile patternsusing the convolutional multiple whole profile (CMWP) procedure. In order to confirm the result from the XRD lineprofile analysis, transmitted electron microscope observations were performed on the specimen of the hydrogen reduc-tion treated powders fabricated using a focused ion beam process. A quasi-statically compacted specimen from the nano-scale powders was produced and Vickers micro-hardness was measured to verify the potential of the powders as thebasis for a bulk nano/ultrafine grained material. Although the bonding between particles and the growth in size of theparticles occurred, crystallites retained their nano-scale size evaluated using the XRD results. The hardness results dem-onstrate the usefulness of the powders for a nano/ultrafine grained material, once a good consolidation of powders isachieved.

Translucent alumina is a potential candidate for high temperature application as a replacement of the glassor polymer. Recently, due to the increasing demand of high power light emitting diode (LED), there is a growing inter-est in the translucent alumina. Since the translucent property is very sensitive to the internal defect, such as voids insideor abnormal grain growth of sintered alumina, it is important to fabricate the defect-free product through the fabricationprocess. Powder injection molding (PIM) has been commonly applied for the fabrication of complex shaped products.Among the many parameters of PIM, the flowability of powder/binder mixture becomes more significant especially forthe shape of the cavity with thin thickness. Two different positions of the gate were applied during PIM using the disctype of die. The binder was removed by solvent extraction method and the brown compact was sintered at 1750oC for3 hours in a vacuum. The flowability was also simulated using moldflow (MPI 6.0) with two different types of gate.The effect of the flowability of powder/binder mixture on the microstructure of the sintered specimen was studied withthe analysis of the simulation result.

Much research into fuel cells operating at a temperature below 800℃. is being performed. There are sig-nificant efforts to replace the yttria-stabilized zirconia electrolyte with a doped ceria electrolyte that has high ionic con-ductivity even at a lower temperature. Even if the doped ceria electrolyte has high ionic conductivity, it also shows highelectronic conductivity in a reducing environment, therefore, when used as a solid electrolyte of a fuel cell, the power-generation efficiency and mechanical properties of the fuel cell may be degraded. In this study, gadolinium-doped ceriananopowder with Al2O3 and Mn2O3 as a reinforcing and electron trapping agents were synthesized by ultrasonic pyrol-ysis process. After firing, their microstructure and mechanical and electrical properties were investigated and comparedwith those of pure gadolinium-doped ceria specimen.

This study manufactured a CIG-based composite coating layer utilizing a new warm spray process, and amixed powder of Cu-20at.%Ga and Cu-20at.%In. In order to obtain the mixed powder with desired composition, theCu-20at.%Ga and Cu-20at.%In powders were mixed with a 7:1 ratio. The mixed powder had an average particle size of35.4 µm. Through the utilization of a warm spray process, a CIG-based composite coating layer of 180 µm thicknesscould be manufactured on a pure Al matrix. To analyze the microstructure and phase, the warm sprayed coating layerunderwent XRD, SEM/EDS and EMPA analyses. In addition, to improve the physical properties of the coating layer, anannealing heat treatment was conducted at temperatures of 200℃, 400℃ and 600℃ for 1 hour each. The microstructureanalysis identified α-Cu, Cu4In and Cu3Ga phases in the early mixed powder, while Cu4In disappeared, and additionalCu9In4 and Cu9Ga4 phases were identified in the warm sprayed coating layer. Porosity after annealing heat treatmentreduced from 0.75% (warm sprayed coating layer) to 0.6% (after 600℃/1 hr. heat treatment), and hardness reducedfrom 288 Hv to 190 Hv. No significant phase changes were found after annealing heat treatment.
