  • Nanosized CeO$_2$Powders were prepared under high temperature and pressure conditions by precipitation from metal nitrates with aqueous potassium hydroxide. Spherical shape of CeO$_2$powder was obtained at 175$^{\circ}C$ for 6h. TEM and X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the synthesized particle was crystalline. The average size and size distribution of the synthesized particles were below 30 nm and narrow, respectively. In addition, the effects of synthesis parameters under hydrothermal process are discussed.

  • In this study, an intermediate temperature ionic conductor, $Ce_{0.95}Eu_{0.05}P_2O_7$, was prepared by solid state reaction. The variation of conductivities with the pressure $pH_2O$ or time were studied. The highest conductivity of $Ce_{0.95}Eu_{0.05}P_2O_7$ sample was observed in dry air atmosphere at $300^{\circ}C$ to be $1.1{\times}10^{-4}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ and in wet air atmosphere ($pH_2O=7.4{\times}10^3Pa$) at $100^{\circ}C$ to be $1.4{\times}10^{-3}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$, respectively. The log ${\sigma}$ ~ log ($pO_2$) plot result indicated that $Ce_{0.95}Eu_{0.05}P_2O_7$ was almost a pure ionic conductor under high oxygen partial pressure and a mixed conductor of ion and electron under low oxygen partial pressure.

  • YBCO coated conductors (CC) on the $CeO_2$-buffered IBAD-MgO template were fabricated by metal-organic deposition (MOD) Process with Ba-trifluoroacetate and fluorine-free Y and Cu precursor materials. The precursor solution was coated on $CeO_2$-buffered IBAD MgO templates using the multiple dip-coating method, decomposed into inorganic precursors by pyrolysis up to $400^{\circ}C$ within 3 h, and finally fired at $740{\sim}800^{\circ}C$ in a reduced oxygen atmosphere. Microstructure, texture, and superconducting properties of YBCO films were found highly sensitive to both the firing temperature and time. The high critical current density ($J_C$) of $1.15\;MA/cm^2$ at 77.3K in the self-field could be obtained from $1\;{\mu}m$ thick YBCO CC, fired at $740^{\circ}C$ for 3.5 h, implying that high performance YBCO CC is producible on IBAD MgO template. Further enhancement of $J_C$ values is expected by improving the in-plane texture of $CeO_2$-buffer layer and avoiding the metal substrate contamination.

  • The two-step thermochemical cycle was examined on the $CeO_2$, YSZ, and $ZrO_2$-supported $NiFe_2O_4$ to investigate the effects of support material addition. The supported $NiFe_2O_4$ was prepared by the aerial oxidation method. Thermal reduction was conducted at 1573K and 1523K while water-splitting was carried out at 1073K. Supporting $NiFe_2O_4$ on $CeO_2$, YSZ and $ZrO_2$ alleviated the high-temperature sintering of iron-oxide. As a result, the supported $NiFe_2O_4$ exhibited greater reactivity and repeatability in the water-splitting cycle as compared to the unsupported $NiFe_2O_4$. Especially, $ZrO_2$-supported $NiFe_2O_4$ showed better sintering inhibition effect than other supporting materials, but hydrogen production amount was decreased as cycle repeated. In case of $CeO_2$-supported $NiFe_2O_4$, improvement of hydrogen production was found when the thermal reduction was conducted at 1573K. It was deduced that redox reaction of $CeO_2$ activated above 1573K.
