The purpose of this study was to evaluate the marginal sealing ability of "Silar". Using freshly extracted human teeth and 2% acquous methylene blue, the marginal leakage of dye in restorative materials such as Silar, Silar with acid etching technique, Hi-Pol, Hi-Pol Enamel Bond system, Adaptic and Amalgam were investigated at $37^{\circ}C$ and under temperature cycling in range of $4^{\circ}C-60^{\circ}C$. The results as follows; 1. All filling materials showed some degree of marginal penetration by 2% methylene blue dye. 2. Silar with acid etching technique revealed effective marginal sealing ability, but under temperature cycling it showed increased marginal leakage. 3. All composite resins showed greater marginal leakage than amalgam restoration. 4. Silar had the most effective marginal sealing ability in experimented composite resins.

Thin films of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nanoparticles were prepared using a low-temperature deposition and crystallization process involving successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) or SILAR-Air spray Plus (SILAR-A+) methods, coupled with hydrothermal (175 ℃) and furnace (500 ℃) post-annealing. The annealed YSZ films resulted in crystalline products, and their phases of monoclinic, tetragonal, and cubic were categorized through X-ray diffraction analysis. The morphologies of the as-prepared films, fabricated by SILAR and SILAR-A+ processes, including hydrothermal dehydration and annealing, were characterized by the degree of surface cracking using scanning electron microscopy images. Additionally, the thicknesses of the YSZ thin films were compared by removing diffusion layers such as spectator anions and water accumulated during the air spray plus process. Crack-free YSZ thin films were successfully fabricated on glass substrates using the SILAR-A+ method, followed by hydrothermal and furnace annealing, making them suitable for application in solid oxide fuel cells.

In this study, the cobalt sulfide (CoS) nanosheet on stainless steel as a supercapacitor electrode is synthesized by using a facile successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) method. The number of cycles for dipping and rinsing can control the nanosheet thickness of CoS on stainless steel. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed a layer structure of CoS particles coupled as agglomeration. And x-ray diffraction (XRD) showed the crystallinity of the CoS nanosheet. To investigate the characteristics of the CoS nanosheet electrode as the supercapacitor, analysis of electrochemical measurement was conducted. Finally, the CoS nanosheet of 70cycles on stainless steel shows the specific capacitance ($44.25mF/cm^2$ at $0.25mA/cm^2$) with electrochemical stability of 78.5% over during 2000cycles.

Tin oxide thin films were fabricated on glass substrates by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method at room temperature and ambient pressure. Before measuring their properties, all samples were annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in air. Film thickness increased with the number of cycles; X-ray diffraction patterns for the annealed $SnO_2$ thin films indicated a $SnO_2$ single phase. Thickness of the $SnO_2$ films increased from 12 to 50 nm as the number of cycles increased from 20 to 60. Although the optical transmittance decreased with thickness, 50 nm $SnO_2$ thin films exhibited a high value of more than 85%. Regarding electronic properties, sheet resistance of the films decreased as thickness increased; however, the measured resistivity of the thin film was nearly constant with thickness ($3{\times}10^{-4}ohm/cm$). From Hall measurements, the 50 nm thickness $SnO_2$ thin film had the highest mobility of the samples ($8.6cm^2/(V{\cdot}s)$). In conclusion, optical and electronic properties of $SnO_2$ thin films could be controlled by adjusting the number of SILAR cycles.

We fabricated quantum dot sensitized solar cells(QDSSC) using PbS as a sensitizer and measured the solar energy conversion efficiency. After growing ZnO nanowires on the substrate by low temperature ammonia solution reaction, PbS QDs were deposited on ZnO nanowires by SILAR(Successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction) method. The morphology and crystallinity of PbS/ZnO nanowires were studied by SEM and XRD. In this study, the maximum conversion efficiency of QDSSC using PbS was 0.075% at one sun, which was lower than that of QDSSC using other sensitizers. The reasons it showed relatively low efficiency are i) the probability of type-I band gap arrangement between ZnO and PbS, ii) disturbance of electron migration by the various-sized PbS band gap, iii) stability dip by the chemical reaction of PbS QDs with electrolyte. To solve these problems, researches about controlling the size distribution of PbS and new type electrolyte would be needed.

An ultrasonic-mediated assisted stepwise method has been developed for depositing transparent ZnO films from aqueous solution. Rinsing in low ethylene glycol temperature was easy to produce intermediate phase of $Zn(OH)_2$, rinsing in $120^{\circ}C$ ethylene glycol was observed the diffraction peak of intermediate $Zn(OH)_2$ in early report, the rinsing temperature plays an important role in the process of $Zn(OH)_2$ phase transformed to ZnO, high rinsing temperature actually improved the intermediate phase. However, the effect of rinsing on the intermediate phase is yet to be understood clearly. The effect of different rinsing procedures, involving either of or a combination of successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) and ultrasonic-assisted rinsing, prior to hydrolysis in ethylene glycol was found to improve the occurrence $Zn(OH)_2$ in ZnO thin films. In the zinc complex ($[Zn(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$) solution, excess ($[Zn(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$) absorbed in glass substrate transformed incompletely to ZnO and exist as $Zn(OH)_2$ phase in thin films. In films deposited at low temperature, rinsing procedure is applied to improve excess $Zn(OH)_2$ and obtain smoother transparent thin films.

본 연구에서는 황화납(PbS)을 감응 물질로 하는 양자점 감응형 태양전지를 제작하고 효율을 측정해보았다. 기판에 진공증착을 통해 seed layer를 형성하고 수열합성법으로 산화아연(ZnO) 나노선 어레이를 기른 후 SILAR(Successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction)법으로 PbS 양자점을 합성하였고, 농도와 cycle에 따른 특성의 변화를 주사전자현미경(SEM), X-선 회절, UV-visible spectrometer를 통해 확인하였다. SILAR법을 통해 PbS가 ZnO 나노선 위에 film 형태로 균일하게 성장한 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 이렇게 합성한 물질을 직접 태양전지로 제작하여 그 효율을 측정하였다. 또한 co-sensitizer 물질로 CdS를 합성하여 두 물질의 감응 물질로서의 성능을 확인하였다. PbS는 비교적 작은 밴드갭을 가지며 양자 제한 효과가 커 밴드갭 조절이 용이하며 여러 종류의 태양전지에서 이용되고 있다. 이러한 PbS를 감응 물질로 하는 양자점 감응형 태양전지 제작을 통해 태양전지에의 적용 가능성을 살펴보고 그러기 위해 필요한 부분들을 모색해보았다.

본 연구에서는 황화납(PbS)과 황화카드뮴(CdS)을 감응물질로 하는 양자점 감응형 태양전지를 만들고 효율을 측정하였다. Sputter를 이용하여 고진공의 상태에서 산화아연(ZnO) film을 seed layer로 증착한 후 수열합성법으로 ZnO 나노선을 합성한다. 합성된 나노선을 successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) 법으로 PbS, CdS 양자점을 합성하고 이를 주사전자 현미경(SEM), X-선 회절(XRD)을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 PbS와 CdS의 co-sensitizer를 합성하고 diffused reflectance spectra (DRS)를 측정함으로써 넓은 범위의 광흡수도를 확인할 수 있었다. Co-sensitizer의 합성 방법을 달리하여 PbS/CdS를 합성한 후 각각의 효율을 측정해보고, 더 높은 효율을 내기 위한 방안에 대해 고찰하였다.
