In order to improve the photoluminescent properties and crystallinity, Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn, M(M=Cr, Ti) phosphors were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The willemite single phase was obtained at 110$0^{\circ}C$, which is lower temperature than that of the conventional solid-state reaction (130$0^{\circ}C$). The characteristics of fired samples were obtained by a 147 nm excitation source under VUV (Vacuum Ultraviolet). To investigation the effect of co-dopant, the content of Mn and the ratio of $H_2O$ to TEOS was fixed as 2 ㏖% and 36. 1, respectively. The highest emission intensity was obtained when the concentration of Cr and Ti was 0.1 ㏖% relative to Zn$_2$SiO$_4$:Mn. While the emission intensity decrease continuously the decay time improved as increased the Cr concentration. In the case of Ti added samples, however, the emission intensity increase up to 2 ㏖％ concentration.

An aqueous solution of a commercial liquid synthetic detergent for kitchen use was photodecomposed in the presence of titanium dioxides powder under an atmosphere of air at room temperature. Titanium dioxides were prepared by sol-gel method from titanium iso-propoxide at different R ratio($H_2O$/titanium iso-propoxide) and calcined at $500^{\circ}C$. All titanium dioxides were characterized by XRD, BET surface area analyzer and UV-VIS spectrometer. The surface area of titanium dioxides prepared at R ratio=6 appeared higher volume about 20% than commercial $TiO_2$ catalysts. XRD patterns of titania particles were observed mixing phase together with rutile and anatase type. Titanium dioxides prepared by sol-gel method show higher activity about 6% than commercial $TiO_2$ catalysts on the photocatalytic degradation of a commercial liquid synthetic detergent for kitchen. The concentration of the detergent decreased to about 90% of its initial value at illumination times of 2 hour. Illumination for 30 minutes decreased the concentration of oxygen to about one-fifth of the initial value.

The $TiO_2$ sol was prepared hydrothermally in an autoclave from aqueous $TiOCl_2$ solutions as a starting precursor. Hollow fibers were obtained when the sol-gel-derived $TiO_2$ sol was treated chemically with a NaOH solution and subsequently heated in the autoclave under various conditions. A systematic analysis of the influence of different NaOH concentrations on the formation of nanotubes was carried out. The details of the nanotubular structure were investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). From the TEM images, the outer and the inner diameters of the tubes were measured to be about 8 and 4 nm, respectively, the lengths were measured to be several hundreds of nanometers.

Pb$(Zr_{0.5},Ti_{0.5})O_3$ thin films were prepared on $Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$substrates by spin-coating. The sol was sonicated in an ultrasonic bath to promoto homogenization and the results were compared with untreated case. In the case of PZT thin films prepared from sonicated sol, only perovskite phase was obtained at $550^{\circ}C$ and "rosette" structures in the films disappeared. Dieletric constants (10kHz), remnant polarization, and coercive field of the films prepared from untreated and sonicated sol were 335 and 443, 12.3 and17.7$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 168.4 and 153.5 kV/cm. Electrical properties were improved by introduction of the sonication processon process

The catalytic activities of nickel-based catalysts were estimated for oxidizing acetaldehyde of VOCs exhausted from industrial facilities. The catalysts were prepared by sol-gel methods of SiO2 and SiO2-TiO2 as a xerogel followed by impregnating Al2O3 powder with the nickel nitrate precursor. The crystalline structure and catalytic properties for the catalysts were investigated by use of BET surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR) techniques. These results show that nickel oxide is transformed to NiAl2O4 spinel structure at the calcination temperature of 400 °C in response to the steps with after- and co-impregnation of Al2O3 powder in sol-gel process. The NiAl2O4 could suppress the oxidation reaction of acetaldehyde by catalysts. The NiO is better dispersed on SiO2-TiO2/Al2O3 support than SiO2/Al2O3 and SiO2-TiO2-Al2O3 supports. From the testing results of catalytic activities for oxidation of acetaldehyde, Catalysts showed a big difference in conversion efficiencies with the way of the preparation of catalysts and the loading weight of nickel. The catalyst of 8 wt.% Ni/TiO2-SiO2/Al2O3 showed the best conversion efficiency on acetaldehyde oxidation with 100% conversion efficiency at 350 °C.

Lead titanate powders were prepared by mixed-oxide and sol-gel method. O-3 composites were prepared with these powders using Eccogel polymer. According to the volume percent of the PbTiO$_3$ powders, dielectric, piezoelectric properties and poling conditions were investigated. Relative dielectric constants were exponentially increased with volume percent of PbTiO$_3$. Piezoelectric strain coefficients (d$_{33}$ ) were increased with volume percent of PbTiO$_3$. Figure of merit (d$_{h}$.g$_{h}$) for the O-3 composites prepared by the mixed-oxide and sol-gel method were 2728(x10$^{-15}$ $m^2$/N) and 3100(x10$^{-15}$ $m^2$/N) at 70 volume percent of PbTiO$_3$, respectively.ely.

[ $Ti_3SiC_2$ ] was coated with $Al_2O_3$, MgO and $SiO_2$ respectively by sol-gel method and cured at 900 and $1200^{\circ}C$. The coated oxides did not react with $Ti_3SiC_2$ at $900^{\circ}C$ but reacted with it to form $TiC_x$ at $1200^{\circ}C$. The specimen coated with $SiO_2$ at $900^{\circ}C$ formed a dense protecting layer and showed the best oxidation resistance at $800^{\circ}C$ in air. However, the dense protecting layers did not form in $Al_2O_3$ and MgO coated specimens cured even at $900^{\circ}C$. MgO coated specimen showed the worst improvement in the oxidation resistance because the reactivity of MgO with $Ti_3SiC_2$ was highest. On the other hand, the electrical conductivities were measured in MgO and $Al_2O_3$ coated specimens to have TiCx but could not be measured in the $SiO_2$ coated ones because of the nonconductive dense protected layers.

The effects of the mole concentrations of precursor solution on the microstructure and dielectric properties of sol-gel deposited $Ba_{0.85}$S $r_{0.15}$Ti $O_3$(BST) thin films have been investigated. The films were of single perovskite phase with strong (100) preferred orientation when grown on LaNi0$_3$ buffered Pt/Ti/ $SiO_2$Si substrates using a diluted precursor solution. Variation of the precursor solution concentration resulted in a different microstructure and, in turn, affected the tunability of the sol-gel deposited films. It was observed that leakage currents increased asymmetrically for the negative and positive bias voltage with decreasing thickness. Overall results suggest that those BST films have acceptable properties f3r applications as room-temperature tunable elements.

Generally $PbTiO_3$ is manufactured in a form of thin films which is useful for the application of infrared sensors and non-volatile memory devices. Moreover $PbTiO_3$ has a characteristic of adsorption for organic acid as well as electronic property. Organic acid adsorption properties of $PbTiO_3$ powder prepared by sol-gel method was compared with the powder purchased from Aldrich Co. Crystallization and particle size of $PbTiO_3$ are influenced by process variables, such as dilution of sol solution, catalysis, calcination temperature, calcination time, etc. As the size of $PbTiO_3$ power decreased until several nanometers, adsorption of acetic acid and formic acid was increased 1.5-fold and 1.2-fold respectively.
