Photocatalytic oxidation in the presence of Fe-doped, Zn-doped or Fe-Zn co-doped $TiO_2$ was used to effectively decompose humic acids (HAs) in water. The highest HAs removal efficiency (65.7%) was achieved in the presence of $500^{\circ}C$ calcined 0.0010% Fe-Zn co-doped $TiO_2$ with the Fe:Zn ratio of 3:2. The initial solution pH value, inorganic cations and anions also affected the catalyst photocatalytic ability. The HAs removal for the initial pH of 2 was the highest, and for the pH of 6 was the lowest. The photocatalytic oxidation of HAs was enhanced with the increase of the $Ca^{2+}$ or $Mg^{2+}$ concentration, and reduced when concentrations of some anions increased. The inhibition order of the anions on $TiO_2$ photocatalytic activities was $CO{_3}^{2-}$ > $HCO_3{^-}$ > $Cl^-$, but a slightly promotion was achieved when $SO{_4}^{2-}$ was added. Total organic carbon (TOC) removal was used to evaluate the actual HAs mineralization degree caused by the $500^{\circ}C$ calcined 0.0010% Fe-Zn (3:2) co-doped $TiO_2$. For tap water added with HAs, the $UV_{254}$ and TOC removal rates were 57.2% and 49.9%, respectively. The $UV_{254}$ removal efficiency was higher than that of TOC because of the generation of intermediates that could significantly reduce the $UV_{254}$, but not the TOC.

Nanopowders of titanium dioxide $(TiO_2)$ incorporating the transition metal element(s) were synthesized by flame synthesis method. Single element among Fe(III), Cr(III), and Zn(II) was doped into the interior of $TiO_2$ crystal; bimetal doping of Fe and Zn was also made. The characteristics of transition-metal-doped $TiO_2$ nanopowders in the particle feature, crystallography and electronic structures were determined with various analytical tools. The chemical bond of Fe-O-Zn was confirmed to exist in the bimetal-doped $TiO_2$ nanopowders incorporating Fe-Zn. The transition element incorporated in the $TiO_2$ was attributed to affect both Ti 3d orbital and O 2p orbital by NEXAFS measurement. The bimetal-doped $TiO_2$ nanopowder showed light absorption over more wide wavelength range than the single-doped $TiO_2$ nanopowders.

높은 큐리온도를 가질 수 것으로 예측된 전이금속이 도핑된 ZnO의 전자구조와 자성을 제일원리계산방법을 이용하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 전이금속은 Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Pd, Ag 이고 도핑 수준은 25%로 두고 계산하였다. 자성연구에서 가장 적합한 방법으로 알려져 있는 Full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave(FLAPW)방법을 사용하였으며 교환-상관 전위는 general gradient approximation(GGA)를 사용하였다. 도핑된 전이금속 (Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Pd, Ag)은 각각 0.83, 3.03, 4.03, 3.48, 2.47, 1.56, 0.43, 0.75, 0.01 ${\mu}_B$의 자기모멘트를 가지며, 전이금속에 이웃한 O 원자도 가안 띠혼성으로 측정 가능한 자기모멘트를 가질 수도 있는 것으로 계산되었다. 3d 전이금속이 도핑된 ZnO는 (CoZnO를 제외하고) 절반금속 특성을 가지는 것으로 계산되었다. 또한 4d 전이금속이 도핑된 경우는 강자성 상태가 상자성 상태에 비해 에너지차이가 크지 않을 뿐 아니라 페르미 준위에 다수 스핀과 소수 스핀 상태 모두가 페르미 준위에 위치해 있어 스핀분극 정도가 낮았다.
