Trivalent cerium ($Ce^{3+}$) activated yttrium aluminum garnet ($Y_3Al_5O_{12}$, YAG) phosphor thin films were deposited on quartz glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering. The effects of sputtering parameters and annealing condition on the luminescent properties were investigated. The sputtering parameters were $O_2$/Ar gas ratio, rf power, and deposition time. The films were annealed at 1200 $^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours in $N_2+$vacuum atmosphere. Polycrystalline YAG:Ce thin film phosphor could be obtained with a gas ratio of $O_2$/(Ar+$O_2$)=0.5 after post-annealing. PL spectra excited at 450 nm showed a yellow single band at 550 nm.

The nano-sized Ce-doped YAG(Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$) phosphor powders were prepared by combustion method from a mixed aqueous solution of metal nitrates, using citric acid as a fuel. The luminescence formation process and structure of phosphor powders were investigated by means of XRD, SEM and PL. The XRD patterns show that YAG phase can form at all of the $Ce^{3+}$ concentration. However, when $Ce^{3+}$ concentration is over 2.0mol%, XRD patterns show $CeO_2$ peak between (321) peak and (400) peak. The pure crystalline YAG:Ce with uniform size of 30nm was obtained at 0.6mol% of the $Ce^{3+}$ concentration. The crystalline YAG:Ce powders showed broad emission peaks in the range 475~630nm and had maximum intensity at 526nm.

Samples with nominal compositions of $RuSr_2(Eu_{1.34-x}Tb_xCe_{0.66})Cu_2O_z$ (x = 0, 0.67) were prepared and their superconductivity and magnetic properties were compared to shed light on the effect of Tb substitution for Eu. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that the Tb substitution resulted in a decrease in both a and c lattice parameters in consistent with ionic size difference between Eu and Tb. Contrary to the Tb-free sample, no superconducting transition behavior is observed in the Tb-sustituted sample. It is also found that the Tb substitution for Eu significantly increases the weak-ferromagnetic component of the field-cooled magnetic susceptibility as well as an increase in the magnetic ordering temperature. These results suggest that the magnetic state of the Ru sublattice is significantly affected by the Tb substitution for Eu.

To increase the performance of solid oxide fuel cell operating at intermediate temperature ($600^{\circ}C{\sim}800^{\circ}C$), $Sm_{0.2}Ce_{0.8}O_2$ (SDC) thin layer was applied to the $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}Mn_{0.8}Cu_{0.2}O_3$ (LSMCu) cathode by sol-gel coating method. The SDC was employed as a diffusion barrier layer on the yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) to prevent the interlayer by-product formation of $SrZrO_3$ or $La_2Zr_2O_7$. The by-products were hardly formed at the electrolyte-cathode interlayer resulting to reduce the cathode polarization resistance. Moreover, SDC thin film was coated on the cathode pore wall surface to extend the triple phase boundary (TPB) area.

In the present paper, garnet structured $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ (YAG : Ce) ceramic phosphor plate (CPP) for high power laser diode (LD) was prepared and optical properties were analyzed. We synthesized monodispersed spherical nano-sized YAG : Ce particles by liquid phase method, fabricated phosphor ceramic plate with the addition of $Al_2O_3$. $75{\mu}m$ and $100{\mu}m$ thick YAG : Ce CPPs were compared in terms of the factors of conversion efficacy, thermal quenching, luminance and correlated color temperature (CCT). In conclusion, conversion efficacy decreased by 25 % in both samples and $100{\mu}m$ thick sample provides better optical properties of thermal quenching, maximum light conversion efficacy and maximum luminance value.

Two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle with $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ foam device was investigated by using a solar simulator composed of 2.5 kW Xe-Arc lamp and mirror reflector. The hydrogen production of $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ foam device depending on heat recovery of Thermal-Reduction step and Water-Decomposition step was analyzed, and the hydrogen production of $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ and $NiFe_2O_4/ZrO_2$ foam devices was compared. Resultantly, the quantity of hydrogen generation increased by 52.02% when the carrier gas of Thermal-Reduction step is preheated to $200^{\circ}C$ and, when the $N_2/steam$ is preheated to $200^{\circ}C$ in the Water-Decomposition step, the quantity of hydrogen generation increased by 35.85%. Therefore, it is important to retrieve the heat from the highly heated gases discharged from each of the reaction spaces in order to increase the reaction temperature of each of the stages and thereby increasing the quantity of hydrogen generated through this.

Rh doped Ni and Co catalysts, Rh-M/$CeO_2$(20 wt %)-$Al_2O_3$ (0.2 wt % of Rh; M = Ni or Co, 20 wt %) were synthesized to produce hydrogen via autothermal reforming (ATR) of commercial gasoline at $700^{\circ}C$ under the conditions of a S/C ratio of 2.0, an O/C ratio of 0.84, and a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of $20,000h^{-1}$. The Rh-Ni/$CeO_2$(20 wt %)-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst (1) exhibited excellent activities, with $H_2$ and ($H_2$+CO) yields of 2.04 and 2.58 mol/mol C, respectively. In addition, this catalyst proved to be highly stable over 100 h without catalyst deactivation, as evidenced by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) and elemental analyses. Compared to 1, Rh-Co/$CeO_2$(20 wt %)-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst (2) exhibited relatively low stability, and its activity decreased after 57 h. In line with this observation, elemental analyses confirmed that nearly no carbon species were formed at 1 while carbon deposits (10 wt %) were found at 2 following the reaction, which suggests that carbon coking is the main process for catalyst deactivation.
