  • In order to improve the photo conversion efficiency (${\eta}$) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), the electrospun $TiO_2$, $SiO_2$, $ZrO_2$ and $SnO_2$ nanofibers were added into the hydrothermally prepared $TiO_2$ nanoparticles for application to a photoelectrode for DSSCs. The $TiO_2$ nanofiber added photoelectrode exhibited a higher photo current density ($J_{sc}$) compared to the bare $TiO_2$ nanoparticles, which is caused from acceleration of the transfer of excited electron from dye molecule due to the nanofiber structure. The DSSCs with $SiO_2$ nanofibers shows a higher open circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$) of 0.67 V and the highest photo conversion efficiency was found to be 6.24%.

  • Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the most effective method for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions, but the operating temperature range of V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts is narrow (300~400℃). In this study, a new catalyst with an operating temperature range of 200~450℃ was developed. The catalyst poison, ammonium bisulfate, generated during the SCR process can be removed by heating above 350℃. To increase the number of active sites and promote the dispersion of active materials, titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) treatment was performed on the TiO2 support with various TTIP/TiO2 mass ratios. Among them, the 5 wt% TTIP loaded catalyst showed improved performance due to higher thermal stability caused by high W dispersion and the formation of V5+. In addition, the 5 wt% TTIP-loaded catalyst prepared by a one-step co-precipitation method showed greater V-OH and W-OH dispersion and enhanced interactions in contrast to conventional methods, resulting in higher catalytic activity at lower temperatures. This review article aims to provide an accessible explanation for researchers investigating how to improve the surface properties of TiO2 catalysts using TTIP.

  • [ $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ ] catalyst impregnated ceramic candle filters are in principle, capable of performing shallow-bed dust filtration plus a catalytic reaction, promoted by a catalytic deposited in their inner structure. Pilot-scale $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ catalyst impregnated ceramic candle filters were prepared, characterized and tested for their activity towards the SCR reaction. The effect on NO conversion of operating temperature, gas hourly space velocity, amount of deposited catalyst, pressure drops and long-term experiment (life of catalytic filter) was determined. The following effects of $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ catalyst impregnated ceramic candle filters in SCR reaction are observed: (1) It increases the activity and widens the temperature window for SCR. (2) When the content of $V_2O_5$ catalyst increases further from 3 to 9wt.%, activity of NO increases. (3) NO conversion at first increases with temperature and then decreases at high temperatures (above $400^{\circ} over), possibly due to the occurrence of the ammonia oxidation reaction.

  • [ $TiO_2-V_2O_5$ ] sol was prepared using sol-gel method. Sol changed to gel with hydrolysis and polymerization. DTA properties of gel powder had endothermic reaction due to evaporation of propanol about $80^{\circ}C$, had exothermic reaction due to combustion of propanol about $230^{\circ}C$ and had exothermic reaction due to combustion of alkyl group about $350^{\circ}C$. Crystalline properties of gel powder retained amorphous phase at $50^{\circ}C$, retained anatase phase from $400^{\circ}C\;to\;600^{\circ}C$ and had all rutile phase over $700^{\circ}C$ at 0.01mole $V_2O_5$ additive. The capacitance of thin films increased with increasing heat treatment temperature and thin films had best properties at $700^{\circ}C$. The capacitance of thin films increased a lot with decreasing measurement frequency.

  • The research was conducted in order to improve the hydrogen generation efficiency of the electrical plasma technology from tap water by using $TiO_2$ photocatalyst, mixed Cu - $TiO_2$ powder, and mixed Ni - $TiO_2$ powder as the catalysts. Experiments were performed with the pulsed power and nitrogen carrier gas. The result has shown that the hydrogen concentration with the presence of $TiO_2$ powder was created higher than that of without using photocatalyst. The hydrogen concentration with using $TiO_2$ was 3012ppm corresponding to the applied voltage of 16kV, while it without using the $TiO_2$ was 1464ppm at the same condition . The effect of $TiO_2$ powder was strongly detected at the applied voltages of 15kV and 16kV. This phenomena might be resulted from the co-effect of the pulsed power discharge and the activated state of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. The co-effect of the mixed catalysts such as Cu-$TiO_2$ and Ni-$TiO_2$ (the mixed photocatalyst $TiO_2$ and transition metals) were also investigated. The experimental results showed that, Cu and Ni powder dopants were greatly enhancing the activity of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. Under these experimental conditions the extremely high hydrogen concentrations at the optimal point were produced as 4089ppm and 6630ppm, respectively.

  • In this study, an NH3-selective catalytic reduction (SCR) experiment was performed to control NOx in the temperature range of 200~500 ℃. The reaction activity experiment was conducted by varying the firing temperature of Sb/TiO2 when using V/Sb/TiO2 composite as a catalyst. As a result, when the sintering temperature of Sb/TiO2 was 600 ℃, the efficiency was the best, and it was confirmed that the NOx conversion rate was close to 80% at the reaction temperature of 250 ℃. H2-temperature programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses were employed to derive the cause of the activity enhancement when prepared at different firing temperatures as described above. As a result, when the sintering temperature of Sb/TiO2, which showed an excellent activity, was prepared at 600 ℃, it was confirmed that VSbO4 was generated. This indicates that the non-stoichiometric species of V increased, resulting in the excellent NOx conversion rate of V/Sb/TiO2.

  • Catalytic wet oxidation of ppm levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) in water has been conducted using $TiO_2$-supported cobalt oxides at a given temperature and weight hourly space velocity. 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ might be the most promising catalyst for the wet oxidation at $36^{\circ}C$ although it exhibited a transient behavior in time on-stream activity. Not only could the bare support be inactive for the wet decomposition reaction, but no TCE removal also occurred by the process of adsorption on $TiO_2$ surface. The catalytic activity was independent of all particle sizes used, thereby representing no mass transfer limitation in intraparticle diffusion. Characterization of the $CoO_x$ catalyst by acquiring XPS spectra of both fresh and used Co surfaces gave different surface spectral features of each $CoO_x$. Co $2p_{3/2}$ binding energy of Co species exposed predominantly onto the outermost surface of the fresh catalyst appeared at 781.3 eV, which is very similar to the chemical states of $CoTiO_x$ such as $Co_2TiO_4$ and $CoTiO_3$. The spent catalyst possessed a 780.3 eV main peak with a satellite structure at 795.8 eV. Based on XPS spectra of reference Co compound, the TCE-exposed Co surfaces could be assigned to be in the form of mainly $Co_3O_4$. XRD measurements indicated that the phase structure of Co species in 5% $CoO_x/TiO_2$ catalyst even before reaction is quite comparable to the diffraction lines of external $Co_3O_4$ standard. A model structure of $CoO_x$ present on titania surfaces would be $Co_3O_4$, encapsulated in thin-film $CoTiO_x$ species consisting of $Co_2TiO_4$ and $CoTiO_3$, which may be active for the decomposition of TCE in a flow of water.

  • Statement of problem: Recently precalcification treatment has been studied to shorten the period of the implant. Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of precalcification treatment of $TiO_2$ Nanotube formed on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy. Material and methods: Specimens of $20{\times}10{\times}2\;mm$ in dimensions were polished sequentially from #220 to #1000 SiC paper, ultrasonically washed with acetone and distilled water for 5 min, and dried in an oven at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The nanotubular layer was processed by electrochemical anodic oxidation in electrolytes containing 0.5 M $Na_2SO_4$ and 1.0 wt% NaF. Anodization was carried out using a regulated DC power supply (Kwangduck FA, Korea) at a potential of 20 V and current density of $30\;㎃/cm_2$ for 2 hours. Specimens were heat-treated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours to crystallize the amorphous $TiO_2$ nanotubes, and precalcified by soaking in $Na_2HPO_4$ solution for 24 hours and then in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ solution for 5 hours. To evaluate the bioactivity of the precalcified $TiO_2$ nanotube layer, hydroxyapatite formation was investigated in a Hanks' balanced salts solution with pH 7.4 at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks. Results: Vertically oriented amorphous $TiO_2$ nanotubes of diameters 48.0 - 65.0 ㎚ were fabricated by anodizing treatment at 20 V for 2 hours in an 0.5 M $Na_2SO_4$ and 1.0 NaF solution. $TiO_2$ nanotubes were composed with strong anatase peak with presence of rutile peak after heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$. The surface reactivity of $TiO_2$ nanotubes in SBF solution was enhanced by precalcification treatment in 0.5 M $Na_2HPO_4$ solution for 24 hours and then in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ solution for 5 hours. The immersion in Hank's solution for 2 weeks showed that the intensity of $TiO_2$ rutile peak increased but the surface reactivity decreased by heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$. Conclusion: This study shows that the precalcified treatment of $TiO_2$ Nanotube formed on Ti-6Al-4V Alloy enhances the surface reactivity.

  • We designed new compositions for lead free and low temperature sealing glass frit of $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ system, which can be used for PDP (Plasma Display Panel) or other electronic devices. The $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ system can be used as a sealing material at temperatures even lower than 430$^{\circ}C$. This system, however, showed lower bonding strength with glass substrate compared to commercialized Pb based sealing materials. So, we added $TiO_2$ as a promoter for bonding strength. We examined the effect of $TiO_2$ addition on sealing behaviors of $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ glasses with the data for flow button, wetting angle, temporary & permanent residual stress of glass substrate, EPMA analysis of interface between sealing materials and glass substrate, and bonding strength. As a result, sealing characteristics of $ZnO-V_2O_5-P_2O_5$ system glasses were improved with $TiO_2$ addition, but showed a maximum value at 5 mol% $TiO_2$ addition. The reason for improved bonding characteristics was considered to be the chemical interaction between glass substrate and sealing glass, and structural densification of sealing glass itself.

  • 본 연구에서는 차세대 마이크로파 유전체 소자로서의 응용을 목적으로 펄스 레이저 방식에 의하여 증착된 MgTiO3 박막의 전기적 특성을 종합적으로 연구 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 MgTiO3 박막의 유전손실 등과 같은 열화를 야기시키는 박막 내부 또는 박막과 기판간의 결함의 특성을 파악하여 열화 메카니즘을 분석하였다. MgTiO3는 마이크로파 영역에서의 우수한 유전특성과 같은 낮은 유전손실을 가지며, 온도 안정성 또한 우수하다. 현재까지 벌크 세라믹 MgTiO3 의 응용 광범위하게 연구되어 왔으나 박막의 제조공정 및 전기적 특성 분석은 미흡한 형편이다. 따라서 벌크 세라믹과는 특성이 상이한 박막의 전기적 특성분석 및 연구가 필요하다. 분석을 위한 소자의 기본 구조로서 Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor(MIS) 구조를 채택하였다. MgTiO3 박막을 증착하기 위한 기판으로는 n형 Si(100)기판과 p형 Si(100)기판을 사용하였고, Si 기판 위에 급속 열처리기 (RTP)를 이용하여 SiO2를 ~100 두께로 성장시킨 것과 성장시키지 않은 것으로 구분하여 제작하였다. MgTiO3 박막은 펄스 레이저 증착 방식(PLD)에 의하여 약 2500 두께로 증착되었으며, 200mTorr 압력의 산소 분위기 하에서 기판의 온도를 40$0^{\circ}C$~55$0^{\circ}C$까지 5$0^{\circ}C$간격으로 변화시키며 제작하였다. 상하부의 전극 금속으로는 Al을 이용하였으며, 열증발 증착기로 증착하였다. 증착된 MgTiO3 박막의 결정구조를 확인하기 위하여 XRD 분석을 수행하였으며, 박막의 전기적 특성을 분석하기 위해 Boonton7200 C-V 측정기와 HP4140P를 이용한 경우에는 C-V 곡선에 이력현상이 나타났으나, MgTiO3/SiO2를 이용한 경우에는 이력현상이 나타나지 않았고, 유전율은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. I-V 측정 결과, 절연층으로 MgTiO3/SiO2를 이용한 경우에는 MgTiO3만을 절연층으로 사용한 경우에 비해 동일한 전계에서 낮은 누설전류 값을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 박막의 증착온도가 증가함에 따라서 C-V 곡선의 위치가 양의 방향으로 이동함을 확인하였다. 위의 현상은 기판의 종류에 관계없이 발생하는 것으로 보아 벌크 또는 계면에 존재하는 결함에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 현재 C-V 곡선의 이동 원인과 I-V 곡선의 누설전류 메카니즘을 분석 중에 있으며 그 결과를 학회에서 발표할 예정이다.
