MnO₂ was prepared by a hydrothermal process method in the range of 120-200 ℃ and 0.5-5 h, calcined at 300 ℃ after induction of precipitation using KMnO₄ and MnCl₂･4H₂O, and its catalytic activity was compared for CO oxidation. The catalysts were characterized using by X-ray diffraction, N₂-sorption, scanning electron microscopy, and temperature programmed reduction of H₂ or CO. The crystalline structure of pure α-MnO₂ or hybrid α/β-MnO₂ was controlled by the preparation conditions. The pure α-MnO₂ showed better catalytic activity and thermal stability than hybrid α/β-MnO₂. Especially, α-MnO₂ prepared at 150 ℃ for 1 h has the highest specific surface area 214 m² g^-1, reducibility and labile lattice oxygen species analyzed by H₂, CO-TPR, respectively. It also showed the best CO oxidation activity in both conditions of temperature programmed and isothermal reaction. The results came from the physicochemical properties of catalysts like the crystalline structure, specific surface area, reducibility and lattice oxygen species, and which are correlated with catalytic performance.

A dry impregnation method was used for preparing pellet type Pt/$SnO_2$ gas sensor. The crystal structure, direction of the crystal, crystal size and microstructure between the catalyst and the support ($SnO_2$) were characterized with electron diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy. The characterization indicates that when Pt/$SnO_2$ sample is calcined at $400^{\circ}C$, the Cl content associated with the Pt phase diminishes and the part of Pt is moved into $SnO_2$ support. This results in the enhancement of gas sensitivity. After the reactor with a Pt/$SnO_2$ sample was run with a flow rate of 30 sccm (a mixture of 0.5% $H_2$ in $_N2$) for a while, the resistance of $SnO_2$ was saturated, but the $SnO_2$ kept absorbing $H_2$ gas. This indicates that the surface state was saturated. For the 14 ppm $H_2$ gas, the sensitivity of Pt/$SnO_2$ devices was about 81% at an operating temperature of $300^{\circ}C$.

The global minimum structures of the benzene-water, Bz-$H_2O$ and benzene-water cation complex, [Bz-$H_2O]^+$ have been investigated using ab initio and density functional theory(DFT) with very large basis sets. The highest levels of theory employed in this study are B3LYP/cc-pVQZ for geometry optimization and MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ for binding energy. The harmonic vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are also determined at the various levels of theory to confirm whether the structure of water complex is affected by the presence of benzene. The binding energies of Bz-$H_2O$ (N-1) structure are predicted to be 3.92 kcal/mol ($D_e$) and 3.11 kcal/mol ($D_0$) after the zero-point vibrational energy correction at the MP2/cc-pVQZ//B3LYP/cc-pVQZ level of theory. The binding energies of [Bz-$H_2O]^+$ (C-1) structure are predicted to be 9.06 kcal/mol for $D_e$ and 7.82 kcal/mol for $D_0$ at the same level of theory.

A solid-state reaction of $MoO_3$ with as-synthesized H-SAPO-34 generated paramagnetic Mo(V) species. The dehydration resulted in weak Mo(V) species, and subsequent activation resulted in the formation of Mo(V) species such as $Mo(V)_{5c}$ and $Mo(V)_{6c}$ that are characterized by ESR. The data of ESR and ESEM show the oxomolybdenum species, to be $(MoO_2)^+$ or $(MoO)^{3+}$. The $(MoO_2)^+$ species seems to be more probable. Since H-SAPO-34 has a low framework negative charge, $(MoO)^{3+}$ with a high positive charge can not be easily stabilized. A solution reaction between the solution of silico-molybdic acid and calcined H-SAPO-34 resulted in only $(MoO_2)^+$ species. A rhombic ESR signal is observed on adsorption of $D_2O$, $CD_3OH$, $CH_3Ch_2OD$ and $ND_3$. The Location and coordination structure of Mo(V) species has been determined by three-pulse electron spin-echo modulation data and their simulations. After the adsorption of methanol, ethylene, ammonia, and water for MoH-SAPO-34, three molecules, one molecule, one and one molecule, respectively, are directly coordinated to $(MoO_2)^+)$.

lanthanum chromite(LaCrO3) powder was synthesized by the combustion of a solution of metal nitrates La(NO3).6H2O and Cr(NO3)3.9H2O and urea. The pH of solution affected a yield of the combustion products but did not influence the morphology of the products. When the pH of the solution was in the range of 0.7-4, the yield of the combustion products was more than 90% The morphology of the combustion products was af-fected by heating methods for the solution. The hot-plate induced heating of the solution yielded powders hav-ing two-dimensionally interconnected agglomerates whereas microwave-induced heating produced a fine and non-agglomerated powders. The specific surface area(BET) of the combustion products using microwave-in-non-agglomerated powders. The specific surface area(BET) of the combustion products using microwave-in-duced heating method were larger(25~32m2/g) than that of hot plate heating method(10-14m2/g)

The surface of $Li[Ni_{0.35}Co_{0.3}Mn_{0.35}]O_2$ cathode was modified by $[Li,La]TiO_3$ coating using pH controlled coating solution. At low pH values (acidic solution), cathode powders, which is oxides, have a positive surface charge, whereas, they have a negative surface charge at high pH values. As a result, their charge could affect the formation of the coating layer on the surface of cathode powder. To determine the optimal pH value, the surface coating of the pristine powder was carried out at various pH values of the coating solution. The surface morphology of coated samples was characterization by SEM and TEM analyses. Impedance analysis and cyclic voltammogram presented that internal resistance of the cell was dependent upon the pH of coating solution.

Second-order rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of aryl benzoates (X-C6H4CO2C6H4-Y) with EtO-, Z-C6H4O- and Z-C6H4C(Me)=NO- in absolute ethanol at 25.0 ℃. All the reactions have been performed in the presence of excess 18-crown-6 ether in order to eliminate the catalytic effect shown by alkali metal ion. A good Hammett correlation has been obtained with a large ρ- value (-1.96) when σ- (Z) constant was used for the reaction of p-nitrophenyl benzoate (PNPB) with Z-C6H4O-. Surprisingly, the one for the reaction of PNPB with Z-C6H4C(Me)=NO- gives a small but definitely positive ρ- value (＋0.09). However, for reactions of C6H5CO2C6H4-Y with EtO-, correlation of log k with σ- (Y) constant gives very poor Hammett correlation. A significantly improved linearity has been obtained when σ0 (Y) constant was used, indicating that the leaving group departure is little advanced at the TS of the RDS. For reactions of X-C6H4CO2C6H4-4-NO2 with EtO-, C6H5O- and C6H5C(Me)=NO-, correlations of log k with σ (X) constants for all the three nucleophile systems give good linearity with large positive ρ values, e.g. 2.95, 2.81 and 3.06 for EtO-, C6H5O- and C6H5C(Me)=NO-, respectively. The large ρ values clearly suggest that the present reaction proceeds via a stepwise mechanism in which the formation of the addition intermediate is the RDS.

$Y_2O_3$ and $Nb_2O_5$ co-doped zirconia composites containing 10~30 vol% $Al_2O_3$ with two different particle sizes were sintered for 5 h at $1550^{\circ}C$ to evaluate low-temperature phase stability of the composite using X-ray diffractometry after heat-treatments for 1000 h at $250^{\circ}C$ in air or for 5 h at $180^{\circ}C$ in 0.3 MPa $H_2O$ vapor pressure. No tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation during degradation, so called enhanced low-temperature phase stability, was observed for all composites. It is concluded that Nb addition to the composite for the phase stability is more effective than $Al_2O_3$ addition. The optimum combination of strength (670 MPa) and fracture toughness ($7.1{\textrm} {MPam}^{1/2}$) were obtained for the composite containing 20 vol% of $Al_2O_3$ with 2.8 $\mu$m to 0.2 $\mu$m, the flexural strength increases but the fracture toughness decreases.

We prepared a highly sensitive hydrogen (H₂) sensor based on Indium oxides (In₂O₃) porous nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with Platinum (Pt) nanoparticle in the range of 1.6~5.7 at.%. In₂O₃ NPs were fabricated by microwave irradiation method, and decorations of Pt nanoparticles were performed by electroless plating on In₂O₃ NPs. Crystal structures, morphologies, and chemical information on Pt-loaded In₂O₃ NPs were characterized by grazing-incident X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, respectively. The effect of the Pt nanoparticles on the H₂-sensing performance of In₂O₃ NPs was investigated over a low concentration range of 5 ppm of H₂ at 150-300 ℃ working temperatures. The results showed that the H₂ response greatly increased with decreasing sensing temperature. The H₂ response of Pt loaded porous In₂O₃ NPs is higher than that of pristine In₂O₃ NPs. H₂ gas selectivity and high sensitivity was explained by the extension of the electron depletion layer and catalytic effect. Pt loaded porous In₂O₃ NPs sensor can be a robust manner for achieving enhanced gas selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of H₂.
