세리아는 고체 산화물 연료전지(SOFC, solid oxide fuel cell)의 전해질 재료와CMP( chemical mechanical polishing) 슬러리 재료, 자동차의 3원 촉매, gas sensor, UV absorbent등 여러 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 세리아의 입자의 크기와 형상을 조절하여 성능 및 물성을 향상시켜 보다 넓은 분야의 활용을 하고자 실험을 실시하였다. 세리아 합성에 사용되는 전구체인 cerium carbonate의 특성이 세리아 분말의 물리화학적 특성에 직접적인 영향을 주기 때문에 전구체의 합성 단계에서 형상과 크기를 조절하고자 하였다. 세륨염으로 cerium nitrate hexahydrate, 균일침전반응을 할 수 있는 urea를 침전제로 사용하였다. 반응 용매의 유전상수를 조절하고 반응의 과포화도 변화를 이용하기 위하여 에탄올을 첨가하여 입자의 크기 및 형상을 조절, cubic형태의 $Ce_2O(CO_3)_2{\cdot}H_2O$ 결정상을 가지는 세리아 전구체를 합성하였다. 이렇게 생성된 전구체를 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 2시간동안 하소하여 세리아를 합성하고 반응시간, 농도, 에탄올의 함량 변화에 대해 XRD, FE-SEM, particle size analyzer, micropore physisorption analyzer 분석을 통하여 입자의 결정상과 형상, 입도 분포 및 기공분포 등을 반응인자의 변화에 따라 비교 및 해석하였다.

Silver particles were synthesized from silver nitrate by homogeneous precipitation and chemical reduction methods involving the intermediate silver cyanate. The obtained silver particles were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and BET. Urea which could prevent the agglomeration of the reduced silver particles was used as a homogeneous precipitator. The spherical silver particles with average particle diameter of 100 nm were obtained under the optimum reaction conditions. The optimum synthetic conditions were found as follows: reaction temperature $100^{\circ}C$, reaction time 60 min, concentration of silver nitrate $1{\times}10^{-2}$ mol, urea $5{\times}10^{-3}$ mol, and sodium citrate $8.5{\times}10^{-4}$ mol. The phase of obtained silver particles was crystalline state and the silver particles were relatively dense, which had the surface area of $0.7571\;m^{2}/g$.

CIGS 또는 CIS 태양전지는 높은 흡광계수와 조절가능한 밴드갭 특성으로 인해 높은 광전변환효율을 나타내므로 실리콘 태양전지를 대체할 차세대 태양전지로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 태양전지의 저가화를 위해서는 기존의 동시증발법 또는 스퍼터링을 대신할 수 있는 비진공 방식의 박막제조방법이 요구된다. 다양한 비진공 코팅방법 중에서 용액 또는 콜로이드 전구체를 프린팅하는 방법은 batch 조성이 박막의 조성으로 전사되므로, 전착법에 비해 조성 조절이 용이하다는 장점이 있다. 한편, 콜로이드 공정에 속하는 Cu-In 합금 나노 분말법은 셀렌화 또는 황화 과정 중에 부피가 팽창하는 장점을 활용 가능한 반면, 전구체 박막의 충진밀도가 낮을 경우 열처리를 통한 치밀화에 한계가 생길 수 있는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 합성한 Cu-In합금 분말을 이용하여 전구체 박막을 형성한 후 반응기구가 다른 황 및 셀레늄 분위기에서의 열처리를 통해 소결된 박막의 결정상, 미세구조 및 표면 형상의 차이를 비교하였다.

Amorphous carbon nanotubes were synthesized by a reaction of benzene, ferrocene and Na mixture in a small autoclave at temperatures as low as $400^{\circ}C$. The resulting carbon nanotubes were short and straight, but their inner hole was filled with residual products. The addition of quartz to the reacting mixture considerably promoted the formation of carbon nanotubes. A careful examination of powder structure suggested that the nanotubes in this process were mainly formed by surface diffusion of carbon atoms at the surface of solid catalytic particles, not by VLS(vapor-liquid-solid) mechanism.

Single crystalline Cu nanowires with controlled diameters and aspect ratios have been synthesized using electrochemical deposition within confined nanochannels of a porous anodic aluminium oxide(AAO) template. The diameters of nano-sized cylindrical pores in AAO template were adjusted by controlling the anodization conditions. Cu nanowires with diameters of approximately 38, 99, 274 nm were synthesized by the electrodeposition using the AAO templates. The crystal structure, morphology and microstructure of the Cu nanowires were systematically investigated using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM and SAED. Investigation results revealed that the Cu nanowires had the controlled diameter, high aspect ratio and single crystalline nature.

Fluorescent nanoparticles are characterized by their unique properties such as luminescence, optical transparency, and sensitivity to various chemical environments. For example, semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots), which are nanophosphors doped with transition metal or rare earth ions, can be classified as fluorescent nanoparticles. Tuning their optical and physico-chemical properties can be carried out by considering and taking advantage of nanoscale effects. For instance, quantum confinement causes a much higher fluorescence with nanoparticles than with their bulk counterparts. Recently, various types of fluorescent nanoparticles have been synthesized to extend their applications to other fields. In this study, State-of-the-art fluorescent nanoparticles are reviewed with emphasis on their analytical and anti-counterfeiting applications and synthesis processes. Moreover, the fundamental principles behind the exceptional properties of fluorescent nanoparticles are discussed.

ZnO nanostructures with various shapes were synthesized under ambient pressure condition by a wet chemical reaction method. Nanorods of ZnO with hexagonal cross-section and their aggregates with radiate shape were synthesized. Precursor concentration affected considerably the shape evolution of ZnO nanorods. Low precursor concentration was proved to be more preferable to the growth of ZnO nanorods, which is attributed to the intrinsic characteristics of chemical reaction in the synthesis of ZnO from zinc compounds.

The $\alpha$-zirconium phosphate particles as fine as 20 nm were fabricated through solution technique using $ZrOCl_2{\cdot}8H_2O$ and $H_3PO_4$ as precursors. Stability of $\alpha$-Zirconium phosphate could be ensured by adding excess phosphoric acid to a stoichiometric composition Instead of using reflux route that resulted in coarsening of particles due to an inevitably long aging. The excess phosphorous incorporated in the crystal could be successfully eliminated afterwards through careful washing. Moreover, heavily agglomerated particles are observed before washing, but fairly dispersed state is found out after washing treatment. Thus, it is found that dispersed state as well as phase stability is ensured through proper washing treatment.

Vertically oriented nickel nanowire arrays with a different diameter and length are synthesized in porous anodic aluminium oxide templates by an electrodeposition method. The pore diameters of the templates are adjusted by controlling the anodization conditions and then they are utilized as templates to grow nickel nanowire arrays. The nickel nanowires have the average diameters of approximately 25 and 260 nm and the crystal structure, morphology and microstructure of the nanowires are systematically investigated using XRD, FE-SEM and TEM analysis. The nickel nanowire arrays show a magnetic anisotropy with the easy axis parallel to the nanowires and the coercivity and remanence enhance with decreasing a wire diameter and increasing a wire length.

Boehmite (AlOOH) powder with uniform pore size and high specific surface area were synthesized via sol-gel method using metal salts, $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $NaAlO_2$. During these synthetic process, the effects of the aging time were investigated to determine the optimal synthetic conditions of boehmite. X-ray diffraction, BET, Raman/IR, and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used for the characterization of the powder. Boehmite gel synthesized at the first stage of the experimental procedure transformed to crystalline boehmite phase after aging for 6 hours. The specific surface area of the crystalline boehmite showed a maximum value, $350m^2/g$, at aging time of 72 hours. The pore size of the boehmite increased with increasing aging time and the boehmite with average pore diameter of 3.6 nm was obtained at aging time of 96 hours.
