This study interrogated multi-layer heterojunction anodes were interrogated for potential applications to water treatment. The multi-layer anodes with outer layers of $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$ and/or $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ onto $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$ electrodes were prepared by thermal decomposition and characterized in terms of reactive chlorine species (RCS) generation in 50 mM NaCl solutions. The $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$ layer on Ti substrate (Anode 1) primarily served as an electron shuttle. The current efficiency (CE) and energy efficiency (EE) for RCS generation were significantly enhanced by the further coating of $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$ (Anode 2) and $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ (Anode 3) layers onto the Anode 1, despite moderate losses in electrical conductivity and active surface area. The CE of the Anode 3 was found to show the highest RCS generation rate, whereas the multi-junction architecture (Anode 4, sequential coating of $IrO_2/Ta_2O_5$, $SnO_2/Bi_2O_3$, and $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$) showed marginal improvement. The microscopic observations indicated that the outer $TiO_2/Bi_2O_3$ could form a crack-free layer by an incorporation of anatase $TiO_2$ particles, potentially increasing the service life of the anode. The results of this study are expected to broaden the usage of dimensionally stable anodes in water treatment with an enhanced RCS generation and lifetime.

Fine, spherical (Zr, SN)TiO4 powders were prepared from the aqueous solution of metal chlorides by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. Single phase (Zr, SN)TiO4 powders could be obtained above $700^{\circ}C$ (=temperature of the reactor) and all powders exhibited sizes in the range of 0.1 to 2.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and a narrow size distribution. The sintering properties of the prepared powders were better than those of the powders from solid-state reaction.

x Pb($Sb_{1/2}Sn_{1/2}O_3-PbTiO_3-PbZrO_30.05{\leq}x{\leq}0.25$) ternary compound ceramics were fabricated by the mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were 1200-1270[$^{\circ}C$], 2 hour, respectively. Increasing the PSS contents, the transition temperatures were decreased. The relative dielectric constant and Curie temperature of the 0.25 PSS-0.25 PT-0.5 PZ specimens were 450, 220[$^{\circ}C$]. The Pyroelectric coefficient of the 0.25PSS-0.25PT-0.50 PZ specimen was $5.20{\times}10^4$[C$\textrm{cm}^2$K].

This study investigates the use of $TiO_{2},\;Pd,\;Pt$, and In which greatly improves a sensitivity to trimethylamine gas. The metal-$SnO_{2}$ thick films were prepared by screen-printing method onto $Al_{2}O_{3}$ substrates with platinum electrode. The sensing characteristics were investigated by measuring the electrical resistance of each sensor in a test box as a function of detecting gas concentration. This was then used to detect trimethylamine, dimethylamine, and ammonia vapours within the concentration range of 100-1000ppm. The gas sensing properties of metal-$SnO_{2}$ mixed thick films depended on the content and variety of metal. It was found that sensitivity and selectivity of the films dopped with 1 wt% Pd and 10 wt% $TiO_{2}$ for trimethylamin gas showed the best result at $250^{\circ}C$.

Catalytic wet air oxidation of acetic acid over Mn-Ce based catalysts deposited on various supports ($SiO_2$, $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$), $ZrSiO_4$, $ZrO_2(10wt%)/TiO_2$) have been carried out in high pressure microreactors. Also, promotional effects by small addition(O.5~1.0 wt%) of p-type semiconductors (CoO, $Ag_2O$, SnO) have been investigated. From the screening tests for initial activity ranking, both Mn(2.8)-Ce(7.2 wt%) and Ru(O.4)Mn(2.7)-Ce(6.9 wt%) supported on $TiO_2$ were selected as the promising reference candidates. In $Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ reference catalyst, addition of small amount of each p-type semiconductor (Co, Sn and Ag) resulted in activity promotional effect and the degree of the increase was in the following order: Co> Ag > Sn. Especially, $Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ promoted with 0.5 wt% Co gave the 2.6 folds activity increase compared to the reference case attributing to the surface area increase as well as synergy effect. In $Ru-Mn-Ce/TiO_2$ reference catalyst, only Co(1.0 wt%) promoted case showed a little reaction rate increase.

A pyroelectric ceramic material based on Pb(Sn1/2Sb1/2)O3 modified PZT system is studied as a function of the amount of Pb(Sn1/2Sb1/2)O3 and PbTiO3. With increasing the Pb(Sn1/2Sb1/2)O3 amount the dielectric constant increases up to 10mol% and then decreases, but the pyroelectric coefficient decreases and as the PbTiO3 contents increase in the 10mol% added PZT system, the dielectric constant increases but the infrared sensitivity decreases. The good pyroelectric material has low dielectric constant and no pyrochlore phase, but does not depend in the amount of remanent dipole, and its composition sites around ferroelectric-to-antiferroelectric phase boundary.

Nanocrystalline $SnO_2$ colloids are synthesized by hydrolysis of $SnCl_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ in aqueous ammonia solution. The synthesized $SnO_2$ nanoparticles with ca. 15 nm in diameter are coated on a fluorinedoped thin oxide (FTO) conductive substrate and heated at $550^{\circ}C$. The annealed $SnO_2$ film is treated with aqueous $TiCl_4$ solution, which is sensitzied with MK-2 dye (2-cyano-3-[5'''-(9-ethyl- 9H-carbazol-3-yl)-3',3'',3''',4-tetra-n-hexyl-[2,2',5',2'',5'',2''']-quater thiophen-5-yl]). Compared to bare $SnO_2$ film, the conversion efficiency is significantly improved from 0.22% to 3.13% after surface treatment of $SnO_2$ with $TiCl_4$, which is mainly due to the large increases in both photocurrent density from 1.33 to $9.46mA/cm^2$ and voltage from 315 to 634 mV. It is noted that little change in the amount of the adsorbed dye is detected from 1.21 for the bare $SnO_2$ to $1.28{\mu}mol/cm^2$ for the $TiCl_{4-}$ treated $SnO_2$. This indicates that the photocurrent density increased by more than 6 times is not closely related to the dye loading concentration. From the photocurrent and voltage transient spectroscopic studies, electron life time increases by about 13 order of magnitude, whereas electron diffusion coefficient decreases by about 3.6 times after $TiCl_4$ treatment. Slow electron diffusion rate offers sufficient time for regeneration kinetics. As a result, charge collection efficiency of about 40% before $TiCl_4$ treatment is improved to 95% after $TiCl_4$ treatment. The large increase in voltage is due to the significant increase in electron life time, associated with upward shift of fermi energy.

$SnO_2$ powders were prepare by precipitating $Sn(OH)_4$ from an aqueous solution of $SnCl_4{\cdot}5H_2O$, pH 9.5. The effects of stability and sensitivity of $SnO_2$ thick film sensors added with various amounts, $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, $ZrO_2$, $TiO_2$ have been investigated. It is shown that the 3wt% $Al_2O_3$ or $SiO_2$ can improve the stability of $SnO_2$ gas sensor at an operating temperature of $350^{\circ}C$.

The electrical conductivity of SnO$_2$added ZnO was investigated using the DC and AC methods. The electrical conductivity of SnO$_2$added ZnO was decreased with increasing the concentration of SnO$_2$. The cal쳐lated effective dielectric constants of 3 mol%, 5 mo1%, and 7 mol% are ~7, ~13, and ~120, respectively. The factor of the decrease for the electrical conductivity seems to be the increase of the resistance of grain decreasing the size of grain.
