분자체를 마이크로 파와 일반적인 수열 합성방법을 이용하여 같은 반응물로부터 제조하였으며 합성, 특성 분석 및 산화 반응 촉매로의 가능성을 비교하였다. FAPO-5는 마이크로 파에 의해 비교적 짧은 시간에 합성이 이루어 졌으며 일반 수열 합성에 비해 약 1/20 정도의 시간으로 합성이 가능하였다. 즉, 170oC에서 마이크로파의 경우 15분, 일반적인 수열 합성의 경우 약 6시간 이내에 합성이 완결되었다. 표면적 및 철의 배위 상태 등은 두 시료에서 큰 차이가 없었다. 마이크로파에 의해 얻어진 FAPO-5는 일반 수열 합성에 의해 얻어진 FAPO-5에 비해 에폭시화 반응에서 에폭시드의 수율이 높았으며 이는 상대적으로 큰 소수성 때문인 것으로 생각되었다.

α-pinene is a natural volatile organic compound secreted by coniferous trees to protect themselves from attacks by insects, microorganisms, and viruses. Recently, studies have reported that α-pinene possesses pharmacological effects on various biological reactions such as anxiolytic, sleep-enhancing, anti-nociceptive, and inflammatory activity. Thus, forest bathing has recently received great attention as a novel therapy for treating severe diseases as well as psychological issues. However, appropriate places and timings for effective therapies are still veiled, because on-site monitoring of α-pinene gas in forests is barely possible. Although portable chemosensors could allow real-time analysis of α-pinene gas in forests, the α-pinene sensing properties of chemosensors have never been reported thus far. Herein, we report for the first time, the α-pinene sensing properties of an oxide semiconductor gas sensor based on rhombohedral In₂O₃ (h-In₂O₃) nanoparticles prepared by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal reaction. The h-In₂O₃ nanoparticle sensor showed a high response to α-pinene gas at ppm levels, even under humid conditions (for example, relative humidity of 50 %). The purpose of this research is to identify the potential of oxide semiconductor gas sensors for implementing portable devices that can detect α-pinene gas in forests in real-time.

Transition metal oxide-based materials have mainly been studied as electrodes for energy storage devices designed to meet essential energy demands. Among transition metal oxide-based materials, hydrated vanadium pentoxide (V₂O₅·nH₂O), a vanadium oxide material, has demonstrated great electrochemical performance in the electrodes of energy storage devices. Graphene oxide (GO), a carbon-based material with high surface area and high electrical conductivity, has been added to V₂O₅·nH₂O to compensate for its low electrical conductivity and structural instability. Here, V₂O₅·nH₂O/GO nanobelts are manufactured with water without adding acid to ensure that the GO is uniformly dispersed, using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The resulting V₂O₅·nH₂O/GO nanobelts exhibited a high specific capacitance of 206 F/g and more stable cycling performance than V₂O₅·nH₂O without GO. The drying conditions of the carbon paper electrodes also resulted in more stable cycling performance when conducted at high vacuum and high temperature, compared with low vacuum and room temperature conditions. The improvement in electrochemical performance due to the addition of GO and the drying conditions of carbon paper electrodes indicate their great potential value as electrodes in energy storage devices.

The effect of precursor concentration on the structural, morphological, and optical properties of $TiO_2$nano-flowers was investigated in this study. An increase in crystallite size was observed with an increase in the concentration of the precursor (titanium butoxide). The FE-SEM micrographs of the as-prepared samples show a three-dimensional flower-like morphology. The flowers consist of several nanorods coming out of a single core and have very sharp edges. Also, the variation in the aspect ratio of the nanostructure was observed with the concentration of the precursor. The photocatalytic properties of the samples show that the sample that has a high aspect ratio (AR~9) has a much better photocatalytic activity compared to the nano-crystal with a low aspect ratio (AR~6.1). It is believed that the excellent photocatalytic performance and short time synthesis of $TiO_2$nano-flowers using the microwave hydrothermal method can have potential applications in the field of photocatalysis.

Bioactive glass powders were synthesized by hydrothermal chemical route by the use of ultrasonic energy irradiation. We used sodalime, calcium nitrate tetra hydrate and di ammonium hydrogen phosphate as the precursor material to synthesize $SiO_2$ rich bio-active glass materials. The $SiO_2$ content was varied in the precursor mixture to 60, 52 and 45 mole%. Dense compacts were obtained by microwave sintering at $1,100^{\circ}C$. Mechanical properties were characterized for the fabricated dense bioactive glasses and were found to be comparable with conventional CaO-$SiO_2$-$Na_2O$-$P_2O_5$ bioactive glass. Detailed biocompatibility evaluation of the glass composition was investigated by in-vitro culture of MG-63 cell and mesenchyme stem cell. Cell adhesion behavior was investigated for both of the cell by one cell morphology for 30, 60 and 90 minutes. Cell proliferation behavior was investigated by culturing both of the cells for 1, 3 and 7 days and was found to be excellent. Both SEM and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used for the investigation. Western blot analysis was performed to evaluate the bimolecular level interaction and extent and rate of specific protein expression. The ability to form biological apatite in physiological condition was observed with simulated body fluid (SBF). In-vivo bone formation behavior was investigated after implanting the materials inside rabbit femur for 1 and 3 month. The bone formation behavior was excellent in all the bioglass compositions, specially the composition with 60% $SiO_2$ content showed most promising trend.

엽납석광석에 Fe-성분이 불순물로 작용하여 엽납석의 최종 산업제품의 품위를 저하시키고 있다. 엽납석광석에 존재하는 불순물을 광물-화학적으로 확인하고 마이크로웨이브와 자력선별을 이용하여 Fe 함량을 건식방법으로 감소시키고자 하였다. 광학현미경, XRD, XRF, SEM/EDS 및 EPMA 분석을 통하여 엽납석에 황철석과 적철석이 포함되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 엽납석에 포함된 자형의 황철석은 열수용액에 의하여 형성되고, 용해 공동 구조는 황철석이 산성수에 의하여 부분적으로 용해되어 형성되는 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 퇴적 기원 구조를 보이는 동심원 구조의 적철석은 산성수에 포함되어 있는 $Fe^{3+}$가 침전되어 형성된 것으로 사료된다. 마이크로웨이브 가열과 자력선별 실험을 수행한 결과 Fe 제거율은 성산광산이 96%, 완도광산이 93%로 나타났다. 마이크로웨이브 가열과 자력선별은 저 품위 엽납석을 품위 향상시킬 수 있는 친환경적 방법이라 사료된다.

Au/$SnO_2$ core-shell structure nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by microwave hydrothermal method, and the effect of working temperature on sensitivity of Au/$SnO_2$ core-shell NPs for CO gas was investigated. The $SnO_2$ shell layer was consisted of $SnO_2$ primary particles with 4.5 nm diameter. The response of Au/$SnO_2$ core-shell NPs for CO gas was maximized at the working temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ while the sensitivity increased with decreasing the working temperature due to the low grain size effect of $SnO_2$ NPs on the response of CO gas.

Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin molybdenum dichalcogenides $MoS_2$ has gained a great deal of attention in energy conversion and storage applications because of its unique morphology and property. The 2D $MoS_2$ nanosheets provide a high specific surface area, 2D charge channel, sub-nanometer thickness, and high conductivity, which lead to high electrochemical performances for energy storage devices. In this paper, an overview of properties and synthetic methods of $MoS_2$ nanosheets for applications of supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries is introduced. Different phases triangle prismatic 2H and metallic octahedral 1T structured $MoS_2$ were characterized using various analytical techniques. Preparation methods were focused on top-down and bottom-up approaches, including mechanical exfoliation, chemical intercalation and exfoliation, liquid phase exfoliation by the direct sonication, electrochemical intercalation exfoliation, microwave-assisted exfoliation, mechanical ball-milling, and hydrothermal synthesis. In addition, recent applications of supercapacitors and rechargeable batteries using $MoS_2$ electrode materials are discussed.

Synthesis approaches usually affect the physical and chemical properties of ferrites. This helps ferrite materials to design them for desired applications. Some of these methods are mechanical milling, ultrasonic method, micro-emulsion, co-precipitation, thermal decomposition, hydrothermal, microwave-assisted, sol-gel, etc. These methods are extensively reviewed by taking example of ZnFe₂O₄. These methods also affect the microstructure and local structure of ferrite which ultimately affect the physical and chemical properties of ferrites. Various spectroscopic techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, Ultra Violet-Visible spectroscopy, Mossbauer spectroscopy, extended x-ray absorption fine structure, and electron paramagnetic resonance are found helpful to reveal this information. Hence, the basic principle and the usefulness of these techniques to find out appropriate information in ZnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles is elaborated in this review.
