In this study, a straightforward and precise nitrogen/sulphur-codoped carbon dots (N/S-CD) was produced using a microwave irradiation approach. The N/S-CD was formulated from succinic acid (SA), bis-(3-aminopropyl)-amine (BAPA), and sodium thiosulphate (STS) as sources of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur, respectively. The synthesized N/S-CD established a valuable quantum yield (QY) of 70 % and was sensitive to aluminium ion (Al³⁺) with a detection limit of 0.21 µM and a linear concentration range of 0-100 µM. When detecting Al³⁺ in real water samples, the N/S-CD resulted in a satisfactory recovery in the range of 91.14 %-103.37 %. Thus, the proposed study is very promising for Al³⁺ detection in environmental water samples.

The physical and electrical properties of polycrystalline $\beta$-SiC were studied according to different nitrogen doping concentration. Nitrogen-doped SiC films were deposited by LPCVD(1ow pressure chemical vapor deposition) at $900^{\circ}C$ and 2 torr using $100\%\;H_2SiCl_2$ (35 sccm) and $5 \%\;C_2H_2$ in $H_2$(180 sccm) as the Si and C precursors, and $1\%\;NH_3$ in $H_2$(20-100 sccm) as the dopant source gas. The resistivity of SiC films decreased from $1.466{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with $NH_3$ of 20 sccm to $0.0358{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with 100 sccm. The surface roughness and crystalline structure of $\beta$-SiC did not depend upon the dopant concentration. The average surface roughness for each sample 19-21 nm and the average surface grain size is 165 nm. The peaks of SiC(111), SiC(220), SiC(311) and SiC(222) appeared in polycrystalline $\beta$-SiC films deposited on $Si/SiO_2$ substrate in XRD(X-ray diffraction) analysis. Resistance of nitrogen-doped SiC films decreased with increasing temperature. The variation of resistance ratio is much bigger in low doping, but the linearity of temperature dependent resistance variation is better in high doping. In case of SiC films deposited with 20 sccm and 100 sccm of $1\%\;NH_3$, the average of TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance) is -3456.1 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ and -1171.5 ppm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Carbon supports for dispersed platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are being continuously developed to improve electrochemical performance and catalyst stability. However, carbon supports still require solutions to reduce costs and improve catalyst efficiency. In this study, we prepare well-dispersed Pt electrocatalysts by introducing titanium dioxide (TiO₂) into biomass based nitrogen-doped carbon supports. In order to obtain optimized electrochemical performance, different amounts of TiO₂ component are controlled by three types (Pt/TNC-2 wt%, Pt/TNC-4 wt%, and Pt/TNC-6 wt%). Especially, the anodic current density of Pt/TNC-4 wt% is 707.0 mA g^-1_pt, which is about 1.65 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C (429.1 mA g^-1_pt); Pt/TNC-4wt% also exhibits excellent catalytic stability, with a retention rate of 91 %. This novel support provides electrochemical performance improvement including several advantages of improved anodic current density and catalyst stability due to the well-dispersed Pt nanoparticles on the support by the introduction of TiO₂ component and nitrogen doping in carbon. Therefore, Pt/TNC-4 wt% may be electrocatalyst a promising catalyst as an anode for high-performance DMFCs.

A synthesis route to ordered mesoporous carbons with controllable nitrogen content has been developed for high-performance EDLC electrodes. Nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbons (denoted as NMC) were prepared by carbonizing a mixture of two different carbon sources within the mesoporous silica designated by KIT-6. Furfuryl alcohol was used as a primary carbon precursor, and melamine as a nitrogen dopant. This synthesis procedure gave cubic Ia3d mesoporous carbons containing nitrogen as much as 13%. The carbon exhibited a narrow pore size distribution centered at 3-4 nm with large pore volume (0.6-1 cm3 g-1) and high specific BET surface area (700-1000 m2 g-1). Electrochemical behaviors of the NMC samples with various N-contents were investigated by a two-electrode measurement system at aqueous solutions. At low current density, the NMC exhibited markedly increasing capacitance due to the increase in the nitrogen content. This result could be attributed to the enhanced surface affinity between carbon electrode and electrolyte ions due to the hydrophilic nitrogen functional groups. At high current density conditions, the NMC samples exhibited decreasing specific capacitance against the increase in the nitrogen content. The loss of the capacitance with the N-content may be explained by high electric resistance which causes a significant IR drop at high current densities. The present results indicate that the optimal nitrogen content is required for achieving high power and high energy density simultaneously.

In this study, we evaluated the change of electronic structure during redox process in cerium-doped $ZrO_2$ grown by sol gel method. By sol-gel method, we could obtain cerium-doped $ZrO_2$ in high oxygen partial pressure and low temperature. After post annealing process in nitrogen ambient, the film is deoxidized. We used spectroscopic and theoretical methods to analysis change of electronic structure. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) for O K1-edge and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation using VASP code were performed to verify the electronic structure of the film. Also, high resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HRXPS) for Ce 3d was carried out to confirm chemical bond of cerium doped $ZrO_2$. Through the investigation of the electronic structure, we verified as followings. (1) During reduction process, binding energy of oxygen is increase. Simultaneously, oxidation state of cerium was change to 4+ to 3+. (2) Cerium 4+ and cerium 3+ states were generated at different energy level. (3) Absorption states in O K edge were mainly originated by Ce 4+ $f_0$ and Ce 3+, while occupied states in valance band were mainly originated from Ce 4+ $f_2$.

We report the preparation of N doped, p-type ZnO films by post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. The properties were examined by XRD, Hall-effect measurement, PL, and SIMS. ZnO films showed better crystallinity and electron concentration of $10^{15}-10^{17}/cm^3$ with post-annealing in $NH_3$ ambient. These films were converted to p-type ZnO by activation thermal annealing process at $800^{\circ}C$ under $N_2$ ambient. The electrical properties of the p-type ZnO showed a hole concentration of $1.06\times10^{16}/cm^3$, a mobility of $15.8cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, and a resistivity of $40.18\Omega{\cdot}cm$. The N doped ZnO films showed a strong photoluminescence peak at 3.306 eV at 13 K, which is closely related to neutral acceptor bound excitons of the p-type ZnO:N. In the SIMS spectra, the incorporation of nitrogen was confirmed.

To direct the evolution of nanostructure and immobilize ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst, nanocrystalline La-doped-$Al_2O_3$ powder were prepared by the sol-gel process with addition of an amphiphilic block copolymer template (pluronic P123: $(poly(ethyleneoxide)_{20}-poly(propyleneoxide)_{70}-poly(ethyleneoxide)_{20})$. The dried gel is amorphous, whereas heating at temperature above $700^{\circ}C$ leads to the formation of nanocrystalline ${\gamma}$ and ${\delta}-Al_2O_3$ and these two phases is kept until $1100^{\circ}C$. ${\alpha}-A1_2O_3 $starts to form at $1200^{\circ}C$ with $LaAl_{11}O_{18}$. The surface morphology and crystal structure has been observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Solid state $^{27}Al$ MAS NMR indicates two types of local environment, i.e. octahedral and tetrahedral sites. The surface area and pore size was compared among these powders using the BET nitrogen adsorption measurements.

Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) is a metastable form of amorphous carbon that have superior material properties such as high mechanical hardness, chemical inertness, abrasion resistance, and biocompatibility. Furthermore, its material properties can be tuned by additional doping such as nitrogen or boron. However, either pure DLC or doped DLC show poor adhesion property that makes it difficult to apply contact processing technique. Therefore we propose ultrafast laser micromachining which is non-contact precision process without mechanical degradation. In this study, we developed precision machining process of DLC thin film using an ultrafast laser by investigating the process window in terms of laser fluence and laser wavelength. We have also demonstrated various patterns on the film without generating any microcracks and debris.
