최근 들어 지구환경의 보전 필요성이 그 어느 때보다도 강하게 제기되면서 대류권 내에서 진행되는 광화학적 대기오염 현상과 그에 따른 오존농도의 증가에 대해 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다 광화학적 대기오염현상이란 대기중의 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds VOCs)과 질소산화물(NOx)이 햇빛 내의 자외선에 의해 반응하면 오존, 알데히드, peroxyacetyl nitrate 등과 같은 2차 오염물질인 광화학 산화물을 생성하는 것을 의미하는데 이 광화학 산화물은 생물체에 악영향을 주고 아울러 성층권의 오존층을 파괴하여 궁극적으로는 지구 온난화 현상의 원인이 되고 있다.

Among several different hydrogen production technologies, solar hydrogen system for water splitting is the only clean and sustainable energy supplier. Hydrogen production by water-splitting utilizing solar energy has attracted considerable interest since the pioneering work of Honda and Fujishima in 1979, who discovered that water can be photo-electrochemically decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen using a semiconductor ($TiO_2$) electrode under UV irradiation. Most efforts to utilize solar ray lead to explore visible responding photocatalysts, PEC cells and other fusion technology like bio-photocatalytic conversion. In this paper, photon utilization technologies for water splitting have been briefly reviewed except solar thermal utilization technology.

Photodecomposition behaviors of volatile organic compounds (VOCs ; benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes) over UV irradiation and UV irradiation with $TiO_2$ powder catalyst were studied and the extent of degradation were also investigated under various reaction conditions. The reactions were conducted in a quartz annular reactor equipped with a medium pressure mercury lamp. As a result, the extents of degradation were 92% for toluene and ethylbenzene, 83% for benzene, and 82% for xylenes under UV irradiation. And they were 92% for toluene, 82% for xylene and ethylbenzene, and 53% for benzene under UV irradiation with $TiO_2$ powder. Analyses of reacted samples by FID-gas chromatograph with Purge & Trap concentrator and GC-MS indicated that the aromatics formed many intermediates.

비메탄계 휘발성 유기화합물(Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds; NMVOCs)은 많은 부분이 용제를 사용하는 공정에서 발생되어 광화학적 산화물 형성 등의 대기질 악화를 초래시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 반면에 메탄가스는 지구온난화의 원인물질로 환경에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있고, 국내의 쓰레기 매립지에서 발생되는 양은 년간 112만톤으로 추정되어 메탄의 자원화나 처리에 대한 연구가 매우 필요한 실정이다. (중략)

활성 산소종은 노화, 특히 피부노화의 원인 물질로 작용하고 있다. 피부는 자외선에 노출되어 있어 활성 산소종을 만드는 광화학적 반응들이 계속해서 일어나고 있다. 이들 활성 산소종들은 피부 세포 및 조직 손상을 주도한다. 이들은 항산화 효소와 비효소적 항산화제들로 구성된 항산화 방어망을 파괴함으로써 산화제/항산화제 균형을 산화 상태 쪽으로 기울게 한다. 결과적으로 계속된 산화적 스트레스는 지질 과산화, 단백질 산화, 간질 성분을 파괴시키는 단백질분해효소의 활성화, 탄력 섬유인 콜라겐과 엘라스틴의 사슬절단 및 비정상적인 교차결합, 히아루론산 사슬의 절단, 멜라닌 생성반웅 촉진, DNA 산화와 같은 생체 구성 성분들의 손상을 야기시킨다. 결국에는 탄력감수 주름살 및 기미.주근깨 둥으로 특징 지워지는 피부노화가 가속화된다. 따라서 피부노화 방지를 위해서는, 과잉의 활성 산소종 생성을 억제하고 또한 생성된 활성산소를 효율적으로 제거할 수 있는 시스템이 화장품의 처방에 반드시 포함될 필요가 있다. 즉, 산화제/항산화제 밸런스가 유지되는 피부의 항산화 방어 시스템 구축이 필요하다. 피부노화 방지에 있어서 천연물의 역할로 (1) 자외선 흡수제로서의 역할, (2) 항산화제로서의 역할, (3) 주름 개선제로서의 역할, (4) 미백제로서의 역할, (5) 항균\ulcorner항염작용 및면역 조절제로서의 역할에 대하여 살펴 보았다. 21세기는 본격적으로 기능성 화장품 시대가 개막될 것으로 예측하고 있다. 이에 맞춰 천연물들은 피부노화를 방지하는데 주도적인 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

In this account, three synthetic methodologies that serve as the basis for new strategies for the preparation of selected natural products are briefly introduced. One process, involving ruthenium carbene catalyzed ring rearrangement metathesis developed by Grubbs and his coworkers, transforms alkene-tethered cycloalkenes to thermodynamically more favored alkene-tethered cycloalkenes. Another ruthenium carbene promoted reaction, referred to as dienyne metathesis, was uncovered in early studies by Grubbs and his collaborators. This process converts dienynes to fused bicyclic conjugated dienes. Finally, a novel photo-electrocyclization reaction of pyridinium salts, which leads to the formation of 4-aminocyclopenten-3,5-diol derivatives, is discussed. Examples are provided to show the utility of these methodologies in natural product synthesis. Emphasis is given to studies in which pyridinium salt photochemistry is coupled with ring rearrangement and dienyne metathesis in routes for the synthesis of polyhydroxyalted indolizidine alkaloids and the construction of the tricyclic core of the lepadiformine and cylindricine alkaloids.

이 연구는 광화학적 물분해 수소제소 기술의 일환으로 수행 중인 광촉매와 바이오촉매를 복합한 시스템 활용 기술에서 광촉매가 갖는 물리적 특성의 영향을 파악하고자 진행되었다. 다양한 물리적 특성을 갖는 광촉매 얻기 위하여 상용광촉매, 수열화법(HT-TiON), 리고 저온합성법(LT-TiON) 등을 이용하여 샘플을 준비하였다. 가시광 감응을 위하여 암모니아나 triethylamine 처리를 하여 질소를 도핑도 시도하였다. 시도된 복합시스템은 인위적인 전자주개 없이 수소를 발생시키는 결과를 보여주었으나, 광촉매로부터 엔자임으로의 전자전달 부분이 율속단계로 확인되었다. 사용된 광촉매 샘플에 따라 수소발생량에 차이가 나타난 결과로 광촉매의 미세구조 (결정상, 결정도, 기공 크기 및 비표면적 등)이 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되었다. 얻어진 결과들을 활용하여 재료들이 고정화된 새로운 시스템 구성을 제안하였다.

Photoelectrochemical water splitting has been considered as the most promising technology for generating hydrogen energy. Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) compounds have currently attracted tremendous attention due to their outstanding ability towards the catalytic water-splitting hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report the synthesis method of various transition metal dichalcogenide including MoS₂, MoSe₂, WS₂, and WSe₂ nanosheets as excellent catalysts for solar-driven photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen evolution. Photocathodes were fabricated by growing the nanosheets directly onto Si nanowire (NW) arrays, with a thickness of 20 nm. The metal ion layers were formed by soaking the metal chloride ethanol solution and subsequent sulfurization or selenization produced the transition metal chalcogenide. They all exhibit excellent PEC performance in 0.5 M H₂SO₄; the photocurrent reaches to 20 mA cm^-2 (at 0 V vs. RHE) and the onset potential is 0.2 V under AM1.5 condition. The quantum efficiency of hydrogen generation is avg. 90%. The stability of MoS₂ and MoSe₂ is 90% for 3h, which is higher than that (80%) of WS₂ and WSe₂. Detailed structure analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy for before/after HER reveals that the Si-WS₂ and Si-WSe₂ experience more oxidation of Si NWs than Si-MoS₂ and Si-MoSe₂. This can be explained by the less protection of Si NW surface by their flake shape morphology. The high catalytic activity of TMDs should be the main cause of this enhanced PEC performance, promising efficient water-splitting Si-based PEC cells.

The photocatalytic degradation of trichloroethlylene (TCE), has been investigated over $TiO_2$ photocatalysts irradiated with solar light. The effect of operational parameters, i.e., initial TCE concentration, $TiO_2$ concentration, pH and additives ($H_2O_2$, persulphate($S_2O{_8}^-$)) on the degradation rate of aqueous solution of TCE has been examined. The results presented in this work demonstrated that degradation of the TCE with $TiO_2/solar$ light was enhanced by augumentation in $TiO_2$ loading, pH, and adding additives but was inhibited by increase in initial TCE concentration. Also individual use of $H_2O_2$ was far more effective than using persulphate in TCE removal efficiency. Furthermore, the relative toxicity with a $solar/TiO_2/H_2O_2$ system was about 15% lower than with a $solar/TiO_2/persulphate$ system and about 35% lower than with a $solar/TiO_2$ system within a reaction time of 150 min, respectively.

A$(-)-\alpha$-narcotine from Papaver sommiferum was refluxed with ethyl chloroformate to give the diastereomeric chloro-carbamate mixture and the Z/E-enol lactones as Z:E=1:1.1 ratio in HPLC analysis. After photoisomerization with UV (254 nm), the Z/E ratio was drastically changed to Z:E=7:1, which may indicate that the E-isomer was easily converted to the Z-isomer due to photoisomerization. The photoisomerization of the Z/E-enol lactones and the different stereochemistry of the degradation product of $\beta-narcotine$, deuterated $\beta-narcotine$ and $\beta-narcotine$ with ethyl chloroformate will also be discussed.
