Abstract: Provided are a nitride thin film structure and a method of forming the same. If a nitride thin film is formed on a substrate that is not a nitride, many defects are generated by a difference in lattice constants between the substrate and the nitride thin film. Also, there is a problem of warping the substrate by a difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the substrate and the nitride thin film. In order to solve the problems, the present invention suggests a thin film structure in which after coating hollow particles, i.e. hollow structures on the substrate, the nitride thin film is grown thereon and the method of forming the thin film structure. According to the present invention, since an epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELO) effect can be obtained by the hollow structures, high-quality nitride thin film can be formed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a mesoporous titanium dioxide thin film from a titanium precursor by using a polymer-grafted alumina composite as a support. The porous titanium dioxide thin film is obtained by using the polymer-grafted hybrid alumina composite as a support for sol-gel reaction, and thus it has a mesoporous structure and high surface area, thereby providing a high dye adsorption ratio. Therefore, a dye-sensitized solar cell using the mesoporous titanium dioxide thin film as a photoelectrode material has high energy conversion efficiency. In addition, it is possible to improve the long-term stability of a dye-sensitized solar cell through efficient infiltration of high-viscosity polymer and solid electrolyte as well as liquid electrolyte.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solid state dye-sensitized solar cell employing a composite polymer electrolyte, which includes a photoelectrode, a counter electrode, and an electrolyte interposed between the photoelectrode and counter electrode. The electrolyte includes at least one of a middle molecular substance, a polymer mixture, and inorganic nanoparticles, and a redox derivative. The dye-sensitized solar cell reduces crystallinity of the polymer electrolyte to significantly increase ionic conductivity, and enables the polymer electrolyte to smoothly permeate into a titanium oxide layer to improve mechanical properties, thereby significantly increasing energy conversion efficiency. Accordingly, the dye-sensitized solar cell assures high energy conversion efficiency without an electrolyte leak, and thus, it can be stably and practically used for a long time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facilitated transport membrane for separation of alkene hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon mixtures, comprising a porous support and a solid polymer electrolyte consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer having phthalic structure, in which the electrolyte is in solid state at its operating temperature. The facilitated transport membrane is prepared by forming a solid polymer electrolyte consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer on a porous support. The transition metal salt can selectively and reversibly form a complex with alkene hydrocarbons and the polymer can dissociate the transition metal salt. In particular, the polymer matrix allows the transition metal salt to be well dissociated because it has a phthalic structure capable of being coordinated to a transition metal ion.

Abstract: An easy to install and remove developing unit for an electrophotographic machine is disclosed. The developing unit contains a spring loaded handle that works in cooperation with the top cover or lid of the electrophotographic device. When the lid is opened, the spring loaded handle pops up, allowing the user to grab the handle and pull the developing unit out of the electrophotographic machine. When the lid is closed onto the handle, the cover works against the spring bias and compresses the handle into a small, compact space that fits within the electrophotographic machine. The result is a compact and efficient developing unit that allows the user to easily remove and install the developing unit into and out of the electrophotographic device.
