The photocatalytic oxidation of Rhodamine B (RhB) was studied using immobilized $TiO_2$ and rotating disk photocatalytic reactor. Immobilized $TiO_2$ onto the surface of the aluminum plate was employed as the photocatalyst and two 20 W germicidal lamps and two 20 W UV-BLB lamps were used as the light source and the reactor volume was 1.0 L. The effects of parameters such as the number of rotating disk, rpm of rotating disk, the number of coating, $H_2O_2$ and photo-fenton amounts, and the concentrations of anions and cations ($NO_3{^-}$, $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $Cl^-$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Na^+$) were examined.

The surface structure of the adsorption site for the identification of active sites involved in the Ziegler-Natta catalyst was studied by surface science techniques. As an example of a real catalyst, TiCl3 single crystals were prepared in a gradient furnace designed for this study and characterized by Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) and Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) under ultrahigh vacuum condition. The chlorine covered Ti (0001) surface was employed as a model catalyst for the study of Ziegler-Natta catalyst. The diffuse LEED (DLEED) technique for the surface structural determination was applied to this disordered chlorine adsorbed on Ti (0001) surface. The diffuse scattering intensities were measured by a TV-computer method using a low light level video camera. From an analysis of two catalyst systems, the informations for the surface structure of the model catalyst surfaces were derived.

The present study is the first report of utilizing $TiO_2$ photocatalyst to analytically calibrate the hydroperoxyl radical ($HO_2\;^{\cdot}$). An in-situ calibration method of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ is proposed for air monitoring by using an 2-methyl-6-(pmethoxyphenyl)- 3,7-dihydroimidazo-[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one (MCLA)-chemiluminescence (CL) technique. In this method, $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$($pK_a$ = 4.80) is produced by the ultraviolet (UV) photolysis of immobilized $TiO_2$ using a constant flow rate of air equilibrated water, in which $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ is controlled by using various lengths of knotted tubing reactor (KTR). The principle of the proposed calibration is based on the experimentally determined halflife ($t_{1/2}$) of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$ and its empirically observed pH-dependent rate constant, $k_{obs}$, at a given pH. The concentration of $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$− is increased as pH increases. This pH dependence is due to the different disproportionative reactivities between $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$− and $HO_2\;^{\cdot}$/$O_2\;^{\cdot}$−. Experimental results indicate the practical feasibility of the approach, producing very promising method.

Five mol % tungsten-doped tin oxide ($W_{0.05}Sn_{0.95}O_2$, TTO5) was prepared by co-precipitation of $SnCl_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ and $WCl_4$, followed by calcination at $1000^{\circ}C$. The as-prepared TTO5 was in the pure cassiterite phase with a particle size of ~50 nm and optical bandgap of 2.51 eV. Herein it was applied for the formation of TTO5/$TiO_2$ heterojunctions by covering the TTO5 surface with $TiO_2$ by sol-gel method. Under visible-light irradiation (${\lambda}{\geq}420$ nm), TTO5/$TiO_2$ showed a significantly high photocatalytic activity in removing gaseous 2-propanol (IP) and evolving $CO_2$. It is deduced that its high visible-light activity is caused by inter-semiconductor holetransfer between the valence band (VB) of TTO5 and $TiO_2$, since the TTO5 nanoparticle (NP) exhibits the absorption edge at ~450 nm and its VB level is located more positive side than that of $TiO_2$. The evidence for the hole-transport mechanism between TTO5 and $TiO_2$ was also investigated by monitoring the holescavenging reaction with 1,4-terephthalic acid (TA).

The change in the oxidation behavior of three types of B-added ultrahigh strength martensitic steels containing Ti and Nb induced by applying constant cathodic current was investigated. In a 3% NaCl+0.3% $NH_4SCN$ solution, the overall polarization behavior of the three alloys was similar, and degradation of the oxide film was observed in the three alloys after applying constant cathodic current. A significant increase in the anodic current density was observed in the Nb-added alloy, while it was diminished in the Ti-added alloy. Both Ti and Nb alloying decreased the hydrogen overpotential by forming NbC and TiC particles. In addition, the thickest oxide film was formed on the Ti-added alloy, but the addition of Nb decreased the film thickness. Therefore, it was concluded that the remarkable increase in the anodic current density of Nb-added alloy induced by applying constant cathodic current density was attributed to the formation of the thinnest oxide film less protective to hydrogen absorption, and the addition of Ti effectively blocked the hydrogen absorption by forming TiC particles and a relatively thick oxide film.

$TiO_2$는 우수한 화학적 및 물리적 안정성 때문에 수전해 장기간 사용에 적합한 전기화학 전극으로 여겨진다. 큰 표면적을 갖는 $TiO_2$를 제조하기 위한 수많은 방법 중 양극산화(anodization)는 비교적 간단하고 저렴한 공정으로 인하여 매우 실용적인 방법으로서 알려져 있다. 특히, 고도로 정렬 된 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브($TiO_2$ NTs) 의 경우에는 분말상과 달리 전극제조를 위해 추가적인 접착제를 필요하지 않다. 그러나, $TiO_2$는 일반적으로 절연 특성을 나타내기 때문에 전극의 활용을 위해서는 본질적으로 촉매의 사용이 불가피하다. 다수의 전기 촉매 중, $IrO_2$와 $RuO_2$는 수전해 분야에 잘 알려진 산화 촉매이다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 특유의 높은 종횡비 때문에 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브에 전기 촉매를 균일하게 도핑하는 것은 많은 어려움이 따른다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 $RuO_2$를 도핑하기 위한 단일공정 $TiO_2$ 양극산화 기술이 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 2원 촉매($IrO_2$ 및 $RuO_2$)를 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브에 도핑하기 위한 단일공정 양극산화 기술에 대하여 연구하였다. 전구물질로써 $KRuO_4$($RuO_2$ 전구체)와 IrOx 나노입자(IrOx NPs, $IrO_2$ 전구체)를 사용하였다. 특히, IrOx를 나노 입자는 $IrCl_3$로부터 중간 매체로 합성된다. IrOx는 단일공정 양극산화 중에 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 상에 도핑 가능한 이온 형태인 $IrO_4$-로 전환될 수 있다. 제조된 시료는 열처리 후 바로 전극으로 사용되었으며 SEM, XPS, TEM, ICP-OES 등으로 정성, 정량 분석을 수행하였다. LSV와 EIS를 통해 전기화학적 성능 평가가 이루어졌으며, LSV를 통해 포집한 기체는 가스 크로마토그래피를 사용하여 정량분석한 후 그 효율을 측정하였다.

$WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ N multilayered coatings are performed by their periodically repeated structures of lamellae of WC-Ti/$WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ Nmaterials. The $WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ N coatings with variable Al content were deposited onto AISI D2 steel by cathodic arc deposition (CAD) method. The electrochemical behavior of multilayered $WC-Ti_{1}$ -xA $l_{x}$ N coatings with different phases (WC- Ti$0.6/Al_{0.4}$ N, $WC-Ti_{0.53}$$Al_{0.47}$N, $WC-Ti_{0.5}$ $Al_{0.5}$ N and $WC-Ti_{ 0.43}$$Al_{0.57}$ N) was investigated in deaerated 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature. The corrosion behaviors for the multilayered coatings were investigated by electrochemical techniques (potentiodynamic polarization) and surface analyses (X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES)). In the petentiodynamic polarization test, the corrosion current density of $WC-Ti_{0.5}$$Al_{0.5}$N was lower than others.

In this study, PZT etching was performed using planar inductively coupled Ar(20)/$Cl_2/BCl_3$ plasma, The etch rate of PZT film was 2450 $\AA/min$ at Ar(20)/$BCl_3$(80) gas mixing ratio and substrate temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis for film composition was utilized. The chemical bond of PbO is broken by ion bombardment, and the peak of metal Pb in a Pb 4f peak begins to appear upon etching, decreasing Pb content faster than Zr and Ti. As increase content of additive $BCl_3$, the relative content of oxygen decreases rapidly. We thought that abundant Band BCl radicals made volatile oxy-compound such as $B_{x}O_{y}$ and/or $BClO_x$ bond. To understand etching mechanism, Langmuir probe and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis were utilized for plasma diagnostic.

To make the all-solid-state lithium thin film battery having less than 1 fm in thickness, LiCoO$_2$ thin films were deposited on Pt/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si substrate as a function of Li/Co mole ratio and the deposition temperature by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD). Especially, LiCoO$_2$ thin films deposited at 50$0^{\circ}C$ with target of Li/Co=1.2 mole ratio show an initial discharge capacity of 53 $\mu$Ah/cm$^2$-$\mu$m and capacity retention of 67.6％. The microstructural and electrochemical properies of (Li, La)TiO3 thin films grown on LiCoO$_2$Pt/TiO$_2$/SiO$_2$/Si structures by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) were investigated at various deposition temperatures. The thin films grown at 10$0^{\circ}C$ show an initial discharge capacity of approximately 51 $\mu$Ah/cm$^2$-$\mu$m and moreover show excellent discharge capacity retention of 90％ after 100 cycles. An amorphous (Li, La)TiO$_3$ solid electrolyte is possible for application to solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium thin film battery below 1 $\mu$m.

The new trisiloxane-bridged heterometallic dinuclear metallocenes, hexamethyltrisiloxanediyl(cyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride) (cyclopentadienylindenyl zirconium dichloride) , $C_3ITi-Cp(CH_3)_2Si-O-Si(CH_3)_2-O-Si(CH_3)_2-Cp-ZrIndCI_2$ (1) and hexamethyltrisiloxanediyl (cyclopentadienylindenylhafnium dichloride) (cyclopentadienylindenyl zirconium dichloride), $C_2IndHf-Cp(CH_3)_2Si-O-Si(CH_3)_2-Cp-ZrIndCl_2$ 2) connecting two dissimilar metallocenes were synthesized and used for ethylene polymerization in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) cocatalyst. The catalytic activity of heterometallic dinuclear metallocenes, 1 and 2 was lower than that of corresponding mononuclear metal-locene as well as two physically mixed catalysts, $CpTiCl_2/Cp_2ZrCl_2 and Cp_2HfCl_2/Cp_2ZrCl_2$. On the tither hand, MWD of PE obtained with 1 and 2 was remarkably broader ($M_w/M_n$) became up to 9.4) than those of PEs prepared with the corresponding mononuclear metallocenes and mixed catalysts. With analysis by GPC and CFC, it was found that PE produced by the heterometallic dinuclear metallocenes exhibited the definite bimodal GPC curves that should cause the broadening of MWD.
