10 mol% $Gd_{2}O_{3}-CeO_{2}$ powder was sintered by microwave in a 2.45 GHz multimode cavity to develop a dense electrolyte layer for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). Samples were sintered from $1100^{\circ}C$ upto $1500^{\circ}C$ by $50^{\circ}C$ difference and kept for 10 min and 30 min at the maximum temperature respectively. Theoretical density of the sample sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 10 min was 95.4% and increased gradually upto 99% in the sample sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. All of sintered samples showed very fine microstructures and the maximum average grain size of the sintered sample at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 30 min was $(0.87{\pm}0.42){\mu}m$. Ionic conductvity of the samples were measured by DC 4 probe method.

1세대 바이오디젤인 fatty acid methyl ester(FAME)의 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 많은 연구가 진행 중 이다. 소위 차세대 바이오디젤은 triglyceride의 산소 화합물을 제거하여 정유 공정을 통해 생산된 디젤과 동일한 특성을 지닌 탄화수소로 전환시킨 오일이다. 이를 위하여 수소를 첨가하여 산소를 제거 시키는 Hydrodeoxygenation(HDO) 반응이 필요하다. 고온($300-400^{\circ}C$), 고압(50-100 bar)의 혹독한 조건에서 높은 수율과 안정성을 보이는 촉매 개발이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 반응물중의 산소를 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 산소 전달능이 뛰어난 $CeO_2$ 담체에 열안정성을 높이는 $ZrO_2$를 조합한 $Ce-ZrO_2$ 담체를 선정하였으며 수소첨가 탈산소 반응에 활성을 나타낼 것으로 예상되는 니켈을 활성성분으로 선정하였다. 본 연구에서는 15%Ni-$Ce_{(1-x)}Zr_{(x)}O_2$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}1$)촉매를 공침법(co-precipitation)으로 제조하였으며 $500^{\circ}C$에서 소성하였다. 촉매 특성분석은 XRD, BET, H2-TPR을 이용하였다.

Cerium oxide (ceria, CeO₂) is one of the most wide-spread oxide supporting materials for the precious metal nanoparticle class of heterogeneous catalysts. Because ceria can store and release oxygen ions, it is an essential catalytic component for various oxidation reactions such as CO oxidation (2CO + O₂ 2CO₂). Moreover, reduced ceria is known to be reactive for water activation, which is a critical step for activation of water-gas shift reaction (CO + H₂O → H₂ + CO₂). Here, we apply van der Waals-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with U correction to study the mechanism of water chemisorption on CeO₂(111) surfaces. A stoichiometric CeO₂(111) and a defected CeO₂(111) surface showed different water adsorption chemistry, suggesting that defected CeO₂ surfaces with oxygen vacancies are responsible for water binding and activation. An appropriate level of water-ceria chemisorption energy is deduced by vdW-corrected non-local correlation coupled with the optB86b exchange functional, whereas the conventional PBE functional describes weaker water-ceria interactions, which are insufficient to stabilize (chemisorb) water on the ceria surfaces.

The behavior of oxygen gas participating in fining was observed in CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) glass melts doped with $Sb_2O_5\;or\;CeO_2$ by means of a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrode. The temperature dependence of the oxygen equilibrium pressure ($P_{o2}$) or the activity in both melts showed typical behavior corresponding to a theoretical redox reaction. In other words, the $P_{o2}$ value of melts with $CeO_2$ was lower than that of melts with $Sb_2O_5$ above $1250^{\circ}C$. The result implies that $Sb_2O_5$, is more efficient as a fining agent compared to $CeO_2$. On the other hand, melts from a batch containing $Sb_2O_5\;and\;KNO_3$ showed much higher $P_{o2}$ values compared to melts without $KNO_3$ above $1350^{\circ}C$. It is suggested that the addition of $KNO_3$ to CRT glass batch contributes partly to the first fining of the melts.

TiO$_2$와 CeO$_2$박막을 Si 위에 증착한 후 MOCVD법에 의해 PbTiO$_3$박막을 증착하여 MFIS 구조를 형성하였다. 절연층의 후열처리가 절연층 및 MFIS 구조의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 산소분위기와 $600^{\circ}C$~90$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 후 열처리를 행하였고, C-V 특성 및 누설전류 특성을 분석하였다. CeO$_2$와 TiO$_2$박막의 유전상수는 증착 직후 6.9와 15였으며, 90$0^{\circ}C$ 열처리를 행한 후 약 4.9와 8.8로 감소하였다. 누설전류밀도 역시 증착 직후 각각 7$\times$$10^{-5}$ A/$ extrm{cm}^2$와 2.5$\times$$10^{-5}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$에서 90$0^{\circ}C$ 열처리를 거친 후에 약 4$\times$$10^{-8}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$와 4$\times$$10^{-9}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 감소하였다. Ellipsometry 시뮬레이션을 통해 계산된 계면층의 두께는 90$0^{\circ}C$에서 약 115$\AA$(CeO$_2$) 및 140$\AA$(TiO$_2$)까지 증가하였다. 계면층은 MFIS 구조에서 강유전층에 인가되는 전계를 감소시켜 항전계를 증가시켰고, charge injection을 방지하여 Al/PbTiO$_3$/CeO$_2$(90$0^{\circ}C$, $O_2$)/Si 구조의 경우 $\pm$2 V~$\pm$10 V의 측정범위에서 memory window가 계속 증가하는 것을 보여주었다.

Field emission displays (FED) are currently being explored as a potential flat panel display technology. Specifically, the optimization pf efficient bin emitting phosphors in the $Y_2O_3-Nb_2O_5$ system and influence of particle size of phosphors on the luminescent properties was studied. Under 254 nm excitation, Bi activated $YNbO_4$ phosphors showed a strong and relatively narrow blue omission band, peaking at about 420-450 nm. Especially 0.4 wt% Bi doped yttrium phosphors showed the maximum emission intensity which is almost three times as much as that of $Y_2SiO_5:Ce$ phosphors. Finally, Ce doped $Y_2SiO_5$ phosphors exhibited strong and broad blue emission band, centered at 390-420 nm and maximum emission intensity at the doping concentration of 0.02-0.03 mol.
