Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have attracted attention as new display materials due to their excellent optical properties, but their application is limited by the complexity of conventional synthesis methods and the film formation processes. As an alternative, color conversion film fabricated via the aerosol deposition (AD) process using CsPbBr₃/Al₂O₃ powder, a ceramic matrix-based MHP composite, has expanded the practical utility of MHPs by simplifying both the synthesis and film formation steps. Nevertheless, the hammering effect that occurs during the AD process can damage the MHP crystal structure, leading to degradation of its optical properties. Therefore, in this study, to overcome the problem of optical degradation, we compared the structural and photoluminescence (PL) properties of films fabricated by adding polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a material with a buffering effect, to the CsPbBr₃/Al₂O₃ starting powder at mass ratios of 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt% to mitigate the hammering effect. The film containing 1 wt% PTFE exhibited the highest PL performance, achieving a luminous efficiency of 52.1 lm/W. This improvement is attributed to PTFE providing an optimal buffering effect without forming aggregates on the film surface. These results further enhance the applicability of AD-based color conversion films and are expected to contribute to the development of high-resolution display technologies.
Ultrawide bandgap gallium oxide (Ga2O3) semiconductors are known to have excellent photocatalytic properties due to their high redox potential. In this study, CO2 reduction is demonstrated using nanostructured Ga2O3 photocatalyst under ultraviolet (254 nm) light source conditions. After the CO2 reduction, C2H4 remained as a by-product in this work. Nanostructured Ga2O3 photocatalyst also showed an excellent endurance characteristic. Photogenerated electron-hole pairs boosted the CO2 reduction to C2H4 via nanostructured Ga2O3 photocatalyst, which is attributed to the ultrawide and almost direct bandgap characteristics of the gallium oxide semiconductor. The findings in this work could expedite the realization of CO2 reduction and a simultaneous C2H4 production using a low cost and high performance photocatalyst.
ZnO nanorods were grown on SiO2 coated Si wafers and glass by the hydrothermal method. The structural and optical properties variation of ZnO nanorods as a function of growing time was studied. ~10 nm-thick ZnO thin films deposited on substrates by rf magnetron sputtering were employed as seed layers. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (0.05 M) and hexamethylenetetramine (0.05 M) mixed in DI water were used as a reaction solution. ZnO nanorods were respectively grown for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h by maintaining the reactor at 90℃. Crystallinity of ZnO nanorods was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology of nanorods was observed by a field emission scanning electron microscope. Transmittance and absorbance were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and energy band gap and urbach energy were obtained from the data. Photoluminescence measurements were carried out using Nd-Yag laser (266 nm).
The purpose of this study is examining thermal dissipation materials for the lighting and radiate efficiency improvement of 8W LED and confirming the properness of the thermal dissipation materials for LED heat sink. Solid Works flow simulation on 8W class COB was done based on the material characteristics of thermal conductive polymer materials. According to the result of simulation, Al had better thermal dissipation performance than PET. Highest temperature was 7.6℃ higher while lowest temperature was 7.8℃ lower. The test on the heat sinks made by the materials, highest temperature was 4.1℃ higher and lowest temperature was 3.9℃ lower. It is possible to confirm that Al heat sink has better thermal dissipation efficiency because it has better dispersion of heat generated at junction temperature and less heat cohesion. The weight of PET heat sink was reduced than Al heat sink by 46.9% by the density difference between Al and PET. In conclusion, thermal dissipation performance of thermal conductive polymer is lower than Al material however, it is possible to lighting heat sink because thermal conductive polymer has better formability, has lower specific weight and enables various design options.
In this study, the leakage current - voltage characteristic and leakage current - time characteristic for the undegradated Ethylene Propylene Rubber and the Ethylene Propylene Rubber which is degradated by water tree for 200 hours have been measured on the temperature range of 50∼80℃ and applied DC voltage range of 200 V∼800 V for 90 minutes. The results of this study are listed below. In case the temperature is 50℃, it founds that the leakage current have shown a increase in proportion to the applied voltage as 2 pA in 200 V, 6 pA in 400 V, 10 pA in 600 V and 15 pA in 800 V. It founds that the leakage current increased with the rise of temperature. It founds that the leakage current was consistent as time goes by, the leakage current of the sample degradated by water tree for 200 hours has increased more than undegradated sample.
