Pure SnO₂ has proven very difficult to densify. This poor densification can be useful for the fabrication of SnO₂ with a porous microstructure, which is used in electronic devices such as gas sensors. Most electronic devices based on SnO₂ have a porous microstructure, with a porosity of > 40%. In pure SnO₂, a high sintering temperature of approximately 1300℃ is required to obtain > 40% porosity. In an attempt to reduce the required sintering temperature, the present study investigated the low-temperature sinterability of a current system. With the addition of TiO₂, the compositions of the samples were Sn_1-xTi_xO₂-CoO(0.3wt%)-CuO(2wt%) in the range of x ≤ 0.04. Compared to the samples without added TiO₂, densification was shown to be improved when the samples were sintered at 950℃. The dominant mass transport mechanism appears to be grain-boundary diffusion during heat treatment at 950℃.

In this work, we prepared a heterojunction anode with a surface layer of SnO₂-Sb-Ni (SSN) on a Ti/IrO₂ electrode by thermal decomposition to improve the electrochemical activity of the Ti/IrO₂ electrode. The Ti/IrO₂-SSN electrode showed significantly improved electrochemical activity compared with Ti/IrO₂. For the 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1 M Na₂SO₄ electrolytes, the onset potential of the Ti/IrO₂-SSN electrode shifted in the positive direction by 0.1 V_SCE and 0.4 V_SCE, respectively. In 2.0-2.5 V voltages, the concentration in Ti/IrO₂-SSN was 2.59-214.6 mg/L Cl₂, and Ti/IrO₂ was 0.55-49.21 mg/L Cl₂. Moreover, the generation of the reactive chlorine species and degradation of Eosin-Y increased by 3.79-7.60 times and 1.06-2.15 times compared with that of Ti/IrO₂. Among these voltages, the generation of the reactive chlorine species and degradation of Eosin-Y were the most improved at 2.25 V. Accordingly, in the Ti/IrO₂-SSN electrode, it can be assumed that the competitive reaction between chlorine ion oxidation and water oxidation is minimized at an applied voltage of 2.25V.

(Zr, Sn)TiO4 powders were prepared in 0.05~0.13 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by coprecipitating (Zr4+, Ti4+)hydroxide on SnO2 particles and followed by calcination at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. They sinter to 95% of relative density at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. and shows dielectric constant, $\varepsilon$r=37.5 and quality factor, Qxf(GHz)=46,000. With 3 mol% of ZnO it sinters to rel=97.5%, $\varepsilon$r=39 and Qxf(GHz)=40,050 at 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h., but raising sintering temperature to 140$0^{\circ}C$ deteriorates quality factor, relative density and microstructure with developing second phase.

In this work, the $TiO_2$ and $SnO_2$ thin films as blocking layers were coated directly onto the metal-mesh electrode surface to prevent unnecessary inflow of back-transfer electrons from the electrolyte ($I^-/I_3^-$) to the metal-mesh electrode. The DSCs were fabricated with working electrode of SUS mesh coated with blocking $TiO_2$ and $SnO_2$ layers, dye-attached mesoporous $TiO_2$ film, gel electrolyte and counter electrode of Pt-deposited F:$SnO_2$. From the experimental result, it was ascertained that the efficiency of metal electrode coated with $TiO_2$ by Dip-coating was superior to that of metal electrode coated with $SnO_2$ by Dip-coating and screen printing with the results of experiments. The photo-current conversion efficiency of the cell obtained from optimum fabrication condition was 3% ($V_{oc}$=0.61V, $J_{sc}$=11.64 mA/$cm^2$, ff=0.64) under AM1.5, 100 mW/$cm^2$ illumination.

In this study, low temperature sintering property of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramics with sintering adds were investigated for LTCC application which enable to cofiring with Ag electrode. $TiTe_3O_8$ mixed with $MgTiO_3$ to improve the temperature property. In the X-ray diffraction patterns, the columbite structure of $TiTe_3O_8$ phase and ilmenite structure of $MgTiO_3$ phase were coexisted in all specimens. In the case of SnO addition, the bulk density and dielectric constant were increased but quality factor was decreased with amount of SnO additions. The TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$+xwt%SnO ceramics were shifted to negative direction. The dielectric constant, quality factor and TCRF of the $0.6TiTe_3O_8-0.4MgTiO_3$ ceramics with 2.5wt% addition of SnO sintered at $830^{\circ}C$ for 1hr were 29.86, 35,800 GHz, -0.58 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.
