Abstract

Zinc oxide has semi-conductivity and super conductivity characteristics. It can be used optically and is applied on many areas such as gas sensor, solar cell and optical waveguide. In this paper, to improve optical characteristics of ZnO, aluminum was added on zinc oxide. Zinc oxide and aluminum zinc oxide was fabricated as nano fiber form. ZnO solution was created by mixing poly vinyl pyrrolidone, ethyl alcohol, and zinc acetate. An Al doped ZnO was created by adding aluminum solution to ZnO sol. By applying these sols on electro spinning method, nano fibers were fabricated. These fibers are heat treated at 300, 500, and $700^{\circ}C$ degrees and were analyzed with X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to examine the nano structures. TGA and DSC measurement was also used to measure the change of mass and calorie upon temperature change. The absorbance of ZnO and Al-doped ZnO was carried out by UV-vis measurement.

ZnO는 반도전성과 초전도성을 나타내며 광학적으로도 독특한 재료로 가스센서, 태양전지, 광학도파관 등 여러 방면에 널리 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 ZnO에 Al을 첨가함에 따라 광학적 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여 ZnO에 Al 첨가량 변화에 따른 나노구조체를 제작하여 특성을 비교하였다. ZnO 용액은 PVP, ethanol, zinc acetate를 이용하여 Sol의 형태로 제작하였으며, Al첨가용액을 넣어 Al이 첨가된 ZnO Sol을 제작하였다. 제작된 Sol을 전기 방사법을 이용하여 나노구조체를 제조하였다. 제조된 섬유들을 각각 300, 500, $700^{\circ}C$로 열처리 한 후 나노 구조체를 XRD, XPS, SEM을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 TGA, DSC를 이용하여 온도변화에 따른 질량 및 열량의 변화를 측정하였다. UVvis를 이용하여 ZnO와 Al이 첨가된 ZnO의 흡광도를 측정 비교하였다.
